Preparing for the release of their third issue, the magazine is showing off a slew of sexy covers, each one starring a model sans clothes and covered only by some discreetly placed masking tape. Here, the latest: Kate Moss bares all. Check out the rest in our Love-ly slide show.

Naomi Campbell Has A Kind Of Awesome Side

Naomi Campbell in Tanzania

For once, controversial supermodel Naomi Campbell is making headlines for something other than cell phone beatdowns. I don’t know how long she’s been involved in charity work (maybe it’s been overshadowed by her more notorious exploits), but evidently she visits Africa often and is the global ambassador for the White Ribbon Alliance, an international coalition for maternal health, which is holding its annual general meeting in Tanzania, where a woman dies in childbirth every hour. To raise money, she helped organize the Fashion for Relief charity featuring local designers, and gave a talk from the runway, which she used as a platform for another cause as well:

“Where do we see a woman of color in an advert? It’s quite blatant. There’s definitely space for more black models but has there been enough effort? It was getting better but it’s slipped back this year. Women of color who have had a great experience in life need to share their experiences with others. The world is not made up of blonde hair and blue eyes. We need to share ourselves.”

Maybe she hired some spin doctors to fix up her image, but we like this new direction for Naomi, as crusader of change for the fashion industry and doing important charity work. Hey, it worked for Angelina. [Daily Mail]

Naomi Campbell Says Minority Models Are Unwanted In Recession

Naomi Campbell Says Minority Models Are Unwanted In Recession

Naomi Campbell has continued to work as a supermodel despite being 39, but even though she’s been able to defy fashion industry norms, she says black and other models of color are having a tough time in the recession. “This year, we have gone back all the way that we had advanced,” she told The Telegraph. “I don’t see any black woman, or of any other race, in big advertising campaigns.” Naomi says Italian Vogue‘s Black Issue last summer “made some noise,” but didn’t actually cause any changes in how often minority models are booked. “People, in the panic of the recession, don’t dare to put a girl of colour in their campaign, full stop,” she added. “Nor of any other race. It’s a shame. It’s very sad.”

Naomi has been in the fashion biz for a loooong time, so she’s seen a lot, but is she just talking out of her butt with this attack? I mean, black, Hispanic, and Asian models have always taken a back seat to white models, so what’s so different during the recession?

Karen Mulder And Other Misbehaving Supermodels

Supermodels Gone Crazy

Supermodel Karen Mulder, a Victoria’s Secret Angel from the late ‘90s, was arrested in Paris yesterday for allegedly threatening to attack her plastic surgeon. WTF?! The Angel-gone-bad was trying to get the female surgeon to reverse a procedure. Karen “began screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening,” said a detective. “There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared.” We don’t know what kind of botched procedure could made her freak out, but if she got boobs and a stomach like Tara Reid once had, we understand her reaction, but not the violent threats. Karen, sadly, isn’t the only supermodel to exhibit bad behavior, she’s just one of a few to be actually arrested.

Twiggy And Other Supermodels Over 35

Twiggy has just been tapped to be the face of Oil of Olay, again. Back in 1985 she was the star of their commercials and now she’ll be bringing the glamor back for their Definity ad campaign. Of her new gig the model said, “I am delighted to be fronting the new advertising campaign because as a women who is nearly 60, I am a strong believer in using trusted brands like Olay, that are clinically proven to meet the needs of more mature skin.”

It’s nice to see a familiar face, not to mention an adult one.  In an age where models seem to be getting younger and younger, Twiggy is part of a trend of talented women breaking through the ageist industry and proving they’re as sexy and as valued as ever! And these confident supermodels, who are not teenagers anymore, are beating the odds of a highly critical, looks based business. Thanks to the women in this slideshow, true beauty is something we all can achieve at every age.

Whether you’re in the jury box, testifying, or, heaven forbid, the defendant, there are certain rules everyone should follow in front of the (fashion) judge.

    Vogue Italia’s “Black Issue” Is A Success, But What Will Its Impact REALLY Be?

    Vogue Italia/Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede, Chanel Iman

    If you haven’t heard already, the July issue of Italian Vogue was unprecedented. All the models in it were black. Amidst the buzz that followed, the much-hyped “Black Issue” became such a popular success that distribution was increased by 40-percent, an amazing feat. Some (including me) saw the concept—race as an “issue”—as a gimmick, an attempt to shush critics who frequently point out how little page-time the fashion industry gives to anything other than white faces. But, without a doubt, the issue got people talking about the issues. Now, let’s hope their attention isn’t squandered.

    Get Well Soon Supermodel!

    Naomi Campbell

    Naomi Campbell, who has been dating a Brazilian businessman, was rushed into surgery in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Monday. The Afro-Jamaican-Chinese model, whose vajayjay has been seen everywhere from Playboy to Madonna’s Sex book, allegedly needed to have a small ovarian cyst removed. Naomi’s publicist released a statement on her behalf, “Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work. She would like to thank the doctors who have kindly looked after her.”  Her medical staff included gynecologist Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti and Dr. David Uip, a leading expert in the treatment of infectious diseases who you know was just hanging around to sneak a peak at the promise land. Although she may not be able to get good help at home (how many cellphones does she need to throw to get a cup of coffee???), we’re glad to hear that she is getting the health care she needs. Campbell is expected to be strutting, posing, and abusing assistants again in no time. [Perez Hilton]

  • Dude, guess who is about to become the coolest dad alive? Matthew McConaughey! The actor announced on his website, “My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together ... its 3 months growin’ in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far.” Mmm, the way he put that is making me kind of hot and bothered. Anyway, obviously the kid has totally scored—think of all the free surfing, shirtless yoga, and bongo playing instruction! [TMZ]

Well, whatever gets you off I guess… [A Socialite’s Life]
  • I would like to apologize for continuing to write about this train wreck, but it’s my duty. Last night Brit and Adnan were busted buying a home pregnancy test AND she was wearing what looked to be an engagement ring. Please, someone, anyone, find something funny to say about this. [DListed]
