Levi Gets Snubbed By Modeling Industry

Josh loposer — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:00:00 GMT

What's Levi Johnston's career strategy -- beyond doing interviews about how he knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter? One of his vague aspirations is apparently to profit from his 15 minutes by becoming a model. So far, it looks like the modeling industry's taking a pass.

According to a CBS Early Show report, Levi's self-proclaimed career prospects go something like this: “He says that he will be an electrician like everyone else in his family, or maybe all this publicity will lead to a modeling or acting gig, which he is open to.”

While I could kinda see Levi doing some modeling work for the Bass Pro Shop catalog, it's hard to imagine him supporting himself and his baby Tripp with his acting skillz.

Of course, when Vanity Fair heard about Levi's opportunistic and quasi-ridiculous plan, they couldn't help themselves. They decided to contact some of top modeling agencies to see if they were interested in working with the infamous baby daddy.

Click Models
“We didn’t reach out to him. I guess he’s interested, but we weren’t,” said Stephanie Grill, director of Click’s men’s board.

DNA Model Management
“No one has reached out to him. He’s a good-looking guy, but not really a model type. No one would see him on the runway. He was ill-at-ease on Tyra Banks and I can’t see that changing drastically,” said Fred Howard of DNA public relations.

Ford Models
“No one in the Men’s Division has reached out. It wasn’t even brought up. I know every time I saw him during the elections, I never thought, ‘He should be a male model.’ It would be doubtful,” said Jesse Simon of the Ford men’s board, in New York.

Going Fast: 2008!

Whit Honea — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:56:00 GMT

This shiz is over. What a wild, wacky ride it has been.

2008 had all kinds of memorable moments. These are ours: The best and worst of the year, brought to you as only Babble can!

Guess Who Got Fired From His Day Job

trix — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:37:00 GMT

Poor, poor Balthazar Getty, he's had a rough year.

He separated from his wife, had a steamy, very public affair with Sienna Miller. He split from Sienna and got back with his wife, only to be seen with Sienna shortly there after. To top it all off, he ended his year by getting fired from his Brothers and Sisters gig.

I guess that is what happens when you are so filthy rich that you just work for something to do with your time. Maybe he should have given his time to a worthwhile cause, like charity or is that what he classified Sienna as.

Good thing he has all that money to fall back on.

Jamie Lynn Spears Is Mad Y'all!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:10:00 GMT

Jamie Lynn Spears is hoppin' mad! She might even file a lawsuit! For what you ask?

It was first reported by Star magazine that the 17-year-old underwent liposuction surgery while she was pregnant with her daughter, Maddie Briann. Although at the time, the former Zoey 101 star didn't realize she was expecting.

Jamie Lynn was upset by her weight gain and asked her mom to sign for the surgery and Lynne Spears agreed.

However, the teen mom denies this and wants Star to stop gossiping about her and is considering legal action. Friends of the younger Spears daughter say she is "furious" over the reports.

A source said, "It's 100 percent not true. She would never in her life do anything like that."

No word from camp Spears.

Let's hope it's not true - I can't imagine it's a good idea to have plastic surgery while pregnant.

Jamie Lynn Spears Had Liposuction While Pregnant?!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:05:00 GMT

Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann in June of this year. However, months before, the former TV teen sensation didn't know she was pregnant with a baby baby - she thought she was getting bigger because she had one of those 'I ate too much' babies. You know, a dreaded food baby. And what better way to get rid of a few extra pounds? Have them sucked out! That's what Jamie Lynn apparently did - she had liposuction while she was preggers. Oops y'all!

According to Star, Jamie Lynn is worried that she may have harmed her now 5-month-old baby because she had plastic surgery during her pregnancy. However, before we go blaming the (then 16-year-old) young'en, let's remember that because Jamie Lynn was underage, it would have to be a parent who would have to approve the procedure. Ya, as in mother Lynne Spears.

Spears had just finished filming her hit TV show on Nickelodeon, Zoey 101, and she noticed she was putting on weight. She didn't know at the time that it was because she was pregnant. She begged her mom Lynne, to let her get lipo. Mom said yes (allegedly).

A source said, "She [Jamie Lynn] didn't know she was pregnant when she filled out the health questionnaire prior to the procedure. Her mom approved the injections and went through tons of red tape to get the clinic to administer them to an underage patient." Yikes!

Dr. Gary Burton, plastic surgeon, tells Star, "Any form of liposuction is dangerous and should not be performed on a pregnant woman. It poses serious health risks to the fetus."

From the photos we've seen, Maddie looks fine, but of course that's not a guarantee. Hopefully that baby doesn't suffer any ill-effects (if true) from Spears having the surgery!

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: Rick Rolled!

Whit Honea — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:26:00 GMT

Yes, you read that correctly. The 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade got a real life Rick Roll. It was awesome.

The float featuring "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" was just floating along, singing their song when someone must have clicked a link they weren't too sure of, and presto- Rick Astley.

I wonder if Rick's kid will forgive him for interrupting Foster's.

A pregnant Julie Bowen and her son Oliver were on hand for the P.S. Arts "Express Yourself 2008" affair in Santa Monica.

I was wondering what had happened to Bowen since "Ed" and apparently she's been busy working on half the shows on television. Who knew? I need to get cable.

All I knew about Krista Allen was that she spent some time with one Mr. George Clooney so I decided to Google her. Holy crap! Krista Allen is NSFW!
