She became an “accidental” film star early in her career, but now socialite and model Paris Hilton is hoping to become a real Hollywood actress. Still, the 26-year-old scandal hasn’t strayed too far away from familiar territory - in one scene from her new film the Hottie And The Nottie, she strips off to just her skimpy lingerie.
In the film, Paris stars as the object of affection for Nate, played by Joel Moore, who’s had a crush on her since primary school. To win her over, he must first find a boyfriend for her less attractive friend. No, it’s not a remake of 10 things I hate About You… ahem.
No word as to whether Miranda Kerr and Eliska Sursova are going to go see the film, though a couple of things suggest both girls might be passing it up. One, would be the raging war between Miranda and Paris of which Eliska remains loyal to her longtime Victoria’s Secret model friend, and two would be that, well, Eliska and Miranda have brains.

Surveillance tapes implemented by the Humane Society of the United States have publicly humiliated Paris Hilton and Britney Spears’ poor choice in Pet Stores after the footage showed the ex-heiress and the train-wreck pop star buying pooches from tainted pet shop Pets of Bel Air, a prestige pet store accessed by a multitude of celebrity in order to purchase companions. However for the heirhead and her on-again-off-again pal Britney, the years of impulse pooch-buying have outraged animal rights organizations and enthusiasts, calling both girls “ridiculous” for not researching the stores they so frequently purchase from.

The video in subject documents Pets of Bel Air’s three year long unlicensed practice and shameful business deal with puppy mills, in which thousands of dogs are housed in cramp conditions smelling of urine in order to continually birth puppies for profit to pet stores. Said to be role models for millions worldwide, spokespersons for a series of animal organizations have branded both girls to be “irresponsible pet owners” for their lack of loyalty to their purchases (both Hilton and Spears are known for impulse-puppy-purchases, replacing already owned dogs with newer versions each month) and for their ignorance towards securing the health and wellbeing of their animals.
All respective pet owners and potential pet owners should research the store they are considering a purchase from to make sure that the store does not do business with puppy mills. Mills like these provides thousands of puppies and kittens each year from neglected and sick parents and often have diseases of their own that flare up during their developing years. Please consider the welfare of these animals by boycotting puppy mills and buying only from respectable stores and breeders. Puppy mills will have no choice but to shut down their operations if people refuse to buy their animals and the future and safety of the animals in question will be of a more positive out-look.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is furious following a Led Zeppelin gig on Monday night where her cell phone was reportedly stolen. Fuming at venue staff when realizing her BlackBerry was missing, Naomi, who had spent the night rocking out with pal and fellow Supermodel Kate Moss, reportedly shouted “They took my cell phone with all my numbers! What are you doing to do about it? Find them!” Sources reveal Campbell had later accused the Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl and his entourage of having a part in the cell phones theft.
A source tells Britain’s the Daily Mirror, “As soon as she realized her stuff was missing she started screaming and shouting and wildly pointing in the direction of where Grohl was sitting, screeching, ‘Have they got it? Have they got it?’”
Though Campbell’s spokeswoman has vehemently ‘played down’ the incident claiming “It was an massive inconvenience for Naomi, but she still enjoyed the show,” it was rocker Dave Grohl that had a little more insight into Campbell’s “piss and moan tantrum,” cheekily proclaiming, “Hey, at least she can’t throw it at anyone’s head now.”

She may be an heiress and the Queen of the Social Scene, but Paris Hilton still doesn’t have much theatrical talent. Perhaps she should phone Miranda Kerr and apologize for her jealous rage, and ask Kerr’s buddy Eliska Sursova for some acting tips to stop her from landing in humiliating situations like this:
According to reports, Hilton attended a party at the Versace Mansion in Miami just days ago and caused quite a stir when she was busted having a fake conservation on her cell phone for most of the evening. FOX NEWS reports that Hilton “appeared not to know anybody” at the party and chose to simulate conversation on her cell-phone to “phantom friends”. The cell-phone reportedly began to beep at one point during Hilton’s so-called conversation, alerting those around her to the phony phone-call.

The 19-year-old winner of America’s Next Top Model, Saleisha Cooper, may have entered and compete in the competition against ANTM eligibility rules. Diligent viewers have dug up footage of Saleisha, who has a previous relationship with judge Tyra Banks after attending her T-Zone camp at age 14, appearing in an episode of the Tyra Banks Show as a runway model as well as in an episode of ANTM Cycle 6 as a hired model to walk with the contestants in a show.
In accordance with Top Model rules, no entry should have any previous experience within the past 5 years, including print media, commercials and television as well as runway and fashion. In addition to Cooper’s working relationship with Banks and previous experience, the Top Model winner had also appeared in a nationally aired Wendy’s campaign.

She may have been Australia’s favorite new model, surf-turned-fashion model Cheyenne Tozzi has sparked a recent “frown” from her native Australian critics. Sporting a newly dyed beach blonde ‘do, many Australian fashion bloggers are said to be in agreement with user comments in a string of Cheynne Tozzi message boards, criticizing the rising supermodel for her friendships with Hollywood celebulites Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis. Users claim Tozzi has “turned her back on her home-ground” and “made the LA girl transformation” calling her new bleached look “generic.”
Tozzi, who once wore her hair in her natural dark to dirty blonde look, was said to resemble the All Australian girl with her mixture of tan skin, sultry body and ocean culture. However her new Hollywood antics have left her fans and critics wondering were this new life is taking the model. Not seen since her most recent Just Jeans ad aired nationally in Australia, in which Tozzi sported her new appearance, many are left speculating that the models friendships with “ditzy” celebrities such as Hilton will affect her credibility as a serious model.
Media circulating has also suggested that Tozzi has left her boyfriend of two and a half years, Australian surfer Taj Burrow, in favor of Hollywood disaster Brandon Davis (responsible for the drunken slurs about Lindsay Lohan, coining the phrase “fire crotch” when caught on tape by TMZ cameras) said to be an attempt to establish herself in the US market.
It’s a shame she has decided to portray herself as the Australian version of Paris Hilton in order to successful overseas. It won’t work and the exposure she may get from attaching herself to a well known name like Hilton’s will be short lived. She was one of Australia’s most promising new models and had a large fan base in her native country, but the white blonde hair, tabloid attention and sleazy grabs at Hollywood name-dropping has really left a hole in her popularity.” - Australian model agent Marfus Sidkio
Sister to aspiring actress and musician Tanhya Tozzi, who is dating surfer Koby Abberton, Cheyenne may want to re-think her social antics if she wants to break the US market and keep her dignity.
“She needs to remember who she is,” says insiders.
Cheyenne, who is close friends with Australian actress Elissa Sursara (Sex Is Bad, Ok? and who has reportedly just signed on to star in the upcoming season of LOST) works predominantly in the United States.

It’s been almost six months since Alice Burdeu slaughtered her Australia’s Next Top Model competitors in Cycle 3 of the series, but the public uproar about the waif-like model’s weight has continued to ripple through Australian media publications. For her entire Top Model experience, Burdeu fought off suggestions from her competitors, the judges and the Australian public that she was battling an eating disorder, remaking:
“It’s unfair to assume all skinny women are starving themselves, it causes just as much self-doubt to a girls self-image as it would if you were to call her fat. I’m built this way and I can’t help it.”
Titles such as ‘Bony Burdeu no role model’ headlining Australian newspapers and websites are said to be a suggestion of Australia’s low tolerance for anorexic-esque celebrities, despite Burdeu winning a higher percentage of votes in the Cycles final episode as to who Australia thought should win.
“Compared to her rival [a then sixteen year old Stephanie 'Steph' Hart] Alice was the sure winner. She looks like a model, she looks like she belongs in New York or Paris and Steph did not. But that doesn’t mean we don’t think she’s too thin — don’t ever think it means we support her body type. Australians love curves. We love healthy, fit women and that is what Australian women are typically renound for; You imagine them jogging out of the water, flicking their hair and looking like beach born goddesses. That in itself is evident in Australia’s most successful exports, seen in Elle McPherson and Jennifer Hawkins.”
Recently, Burdeu signed with Elite Model Management, New York.

Meanwhile, Moss has made the Who’s Who list. The famous reference book is world-renowned for having its finger on the pulse of culture. As one source put it, “The 160th annual edition brings together over 33,000 personal vignettes of those whose achievements are noted in today’s society.”
Along with Kate, rugby player Jonny Wilkinson, golfer Darren Clarke, and fashion designers Stella McCartney, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana will also be getting first-time mentions in the chronicle.

Sophie Anderton has checked into rehab following allegations earlier this week that she took drugs and offered sex to an undercover newspaper reporter.
The 30-year-old model is said to be seeking professional help at The Priory in London to help her kick her drug habit once and for all.
In a statement released yesterday, Anderton’s parents Sue and John Deacon requested their daughter be allowed to seek help in private.
A family friend said: “She’s been screaming and crying down the phone, yelling, ‘It’s all over.’ Sophie is absolutely shattered. Everyone is terrified about her state of mind. Sue and John have been worried sick. But hopefully she is in the right place now.”
This is Anderton’s third attempt at rehab, after previously trying to deal with her drug demons in 1998 and 2003.
The video expose by the News Of The World alleged that the former Gossard lingerie model, offered sex for money and also asked the reporter if he wanted cocaine as she snorted the drug in front of him.
Anderton has since been sacked by bottled tanning firm Fake Bake, which paid her around €100,000 a year to be its face, following the allegations.
