Eva Herzigova - Role Model or Too Thin?

trix — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:02:00 GMT

Wow! Eva Herzigova looks super skinny. I thought designers were trying to get away from the ultra skinny and mover toward a thin but healthy look?

How can Eva possibly have the energy to run around after her two year old, when she looks like she's starving to death?

It doesn't seem fair that she is so skinny and because she is a model she is looked to as an icon for women and young girls everywhere. How are you supposed to tell your daughters that it isn't healthy to strive to be that skinny? I don't have daughters, I have sons and I wouldn't know where to start in a conversation like that.

Why is Angelina Jolie So Skinny?

Is Ted Kennedy Dying?

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:36:00 GMT

Edward "Ted" Kennedy is rumored to have only weeks left in his storied and often tragic life.

Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant glioma in May of this year. It is a type of cancerous brain tumor that Kennedy opted to have surgically removed in June. The surgery was believed to be a success.

Then why is he suddenly on the cover of Globe with only weeks to live? They are reporting that his cancer is spreading. We're hoping that the publication is mistaken.

Say what you will about Ted Kennedy, but his legacy cannot be denied. Kennedy is the father to 3 children and step-father to two. He is generally considered the father figure to the thirteen collective children of his two assassinated brothers. He has many school-aged grandchildren.

Here's to your health, Mr. Kennedy.

New Dish for Chef Zilli

Whit Honea — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:49:00 GMT

Celebrity Chef Aldo Zilli and Nikki welcomed a baby daughter.

The named the little girl Twiggy. Yes, after the model.

Says Zilli, ""Twiggy is a style icon of mine from the 1960's and she still looks amazing as a grandmother.

"I hope my daughter looks as good at 30 as the real Twiggy does today!"

The name doesn't seem that strange to me, as I've grown callous to such things, but that part about his daughter seems a bit weird, doesn't it?

Annie Leibovitz and Her Disney Magic

Whit Honea — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 19:07:00 GMT

Annie Leibovitz has done it all in her career. The lady is to photography what Warhol was to painting but without all the soup cans. In a nutshell, she's good.

Disney commissioned her to do a series of photos using some of the biggest stars from sports and entertainment to portray classic Disney icons. It's pretty freakin' cool.

Says Leibovitz, "It's thrilling to have an opportunity to re-create the characters we all loved as children. The stories are real to my own children now, and their belief inspires me."

Preaching to the choir, Annie.

In regard to the photos, here is a portion of the press release:

Actress Rachel Weisz is Snow White, tennis star Roger Federer is King Arthur from "The Sword in the Stone" and actress Julie Andrews is the Blue Fairy from "Pinocchio" with actress Abigail Breslin as Fira from "Disney Fairies" in a new wave of celebrity images celebrating "The Year of a Million Dreams" at Disney Parks.

They join Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella, Beyoncé as "Alice in Wonderland" twirling in a teacup and David Beckham atop a steed as Prince Phillip from "Sleeping Beauty" in a 14-page insert appearing later this year in several Condé Nast publications. Johansson, Beyoncé and Beckham also starred in the first flight of Leibovitz images last January.

The Beyonce photo also included Lyle Lovett and Oliver Platt. The previous three photos can be seen here.
