Well as little as possible. Supermodel of millennium, Cindy Crawford just doesn’t enjoy the runway anymore and wants to limit her strutting to a few select charity events to focus on her skincare and home decor lines.
“I love the dress-up part of modeling and, once in a while, I will do a photo shoot or a catwalk show for charity. I work a lot in the US – I have a homewares label with JC Penneys and my own skincare line and, these days, I enjoy going to the marketing meetings and the production meetings and being a part of the whole process; using my brain.”
Crawford is busy with lots of other projects and doesn’t need to do anything she doesn’t want. She is still at the top of her game – modeling or marketing – no other model comes close to Cindy Inc.
Fashion File did a great profile on her a while back – check it out below.
Saturday Night Live had me pumped this week. I have been looking forward to some Gerard Butler and Shakira for days! I don’t think that GB could do anything wrong in my eyes. So when he opened in song while kicking some @ss, I was thoroughly entertained. Perfection.
SNL commercials are always insanely funny. My fave of the night was the first one. The Grand Hoochie Skank Rose was to die for! Ha!
The Beauty and the Beast skit was hysterical. Beast loves a ‘big ole @ss’….oh wow, too funny for words.
Shakira’s first song was SOS. That girl has those moves that only she can do and she makes it look so easy! Whenever I try to do that myself, it turns out bad…. How does she do it? I loved her performance. She’s always perfection. Next she performed Did It Again and continued to show off her amazing flexibility. WOW.
During Weekend Update, Seth opened with the Balloon Boy story, “A boy hid in a box. So I guess that was a faster way to tell that story.” Ha! That about sums it up. Later the balloon made a ‘guest appearance’, that was good.
Throughout the show, we got to see clips form old episodes. I loved that! I hope they start doing that every week!
James Franco popped in for a cameo during What Up With That? and made me die laughing doing nothing. Classic. Love that guy.
How about Daveheart? The younger brother of Braveheart….William Wallace? Too much, seriously. I love Gerard Butler. The goat! That was great!
Rock n roll and Harley-Davidson rebellion. Rock posters and outsider art all come together tonight in New York City for a one night show “The Art Of Rebellion” at LaVenue Saturday, October 17th. 10 up and coming artists were chosen to represent the spirit of adventure and wildness that Harley-Davidson has been synonymous with for over 30 years.
Harley-Davidson created ART OF REBELLION as a forum for artists to showcase their work and interact with other artists, galleries and media, as well as give them the needed opportunity and exposure to help further their careers and leverage their credibility in the art scene. For the show, each artist will paint one Harley-Davidson Iron 883TM gas tank and they will also sell signature art posters at the show. The Iron 883–part of the Harley-Davidson’s Dark Custom line which fuses minimalist design with a vintage feel–evokes the adventurous spirit of the dawn of the 60’s motorcycle rebellion.
A portion of the proceeds benefits the CUE Arts Foundation – a non profit group that provides funding and resources for artists of all different levels.
With a new movie out (Couples Retreat) and another one about to open (Astro Boy), it might look like Gossip Girl‘s Kristen Bell gets all kind of work these days. But that doesn’t happen all by itself! Kristen knows not to rest on her laurels. She says:
“After every job, I have ‘I’m never going to work again’ syndrome. It’s just a fact of loving what you’re doing and always wanting more. The one thing I learned from my father is how to be extremely proactive. So when a series gets canceled or a movie wraps, I get on the phone. I’m not an idiot. I’ve got a mortgage to pay. It’s just a matter of making smart decisions, as an actress and a businesswoman. There are a thousand girls out there that have great acting chops and are pretty and personable and I could easily fall out of the loop. Someone else could take my place. I want to ride this wave while I have it.”
Good for her! Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you can get cocky. Keep up the hard work, Kristen!
Dancing With The Stars is going to be a bit different this week. Derek Hough is sick with the flu, like really bad. He shared the news of his illness on Twitter so we would all know what was going on,
Woke up with the seirous sweats .. I think I’m getting the flew … Had a bath now trying to get more sleep … Bummer .. Tough week
My whole body is aching like crazy I can barely stand up … And I’m coughing like crazy.. This sucks ..
At the docs for 3 hrs today … Had a temprature of 104 … Had an IV in my arm for 2hrs … Maks is steppin up for me helpin jo ..
Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow … Fingers crossed …
Feeling a little better today … And when I mean better I mean , I feel like i’m dead as apposed to suffering painful torture ..
Thank u for everyones support .. Hopefully I will be back soon … It’s crazy it’s like clock work .. Something always happens to me right
Around this stage of the competition .. Either my neck , back , food poisoning or the flu … It’s crazy …
It is crazy Derek! Poor guy. You are too sweet to go through all this! You can’t have bad karma, so what’s the deal? Feel better soon!
And thank you Maks for taking care of Joanna Krupa! Way to step in and save the day! Watch DWTS on Monday to see who will be dancing with Joanna!
Thank goodness. I am so relieved that the Heene family won’t be getting away with the ‘Balloon Boy Hoax.’ They scared the entire country (fearing for the life of Falcon), they wasted a ton of taxpayer money, and they ruined a crop of wheat for a family. Not to mention the damage they have done to their kids by pulling this stunt and teaching them that deceiving people for fame is a good thing. Ugh.
Anyhow, TMZ is reporting that the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department is going to be filing charges against the parents. I say ban them from reality TV, that would be the perfect punishment.
I personally think that these should be felony charges but it looks like they will be misdemeanors. At least they will have to pay for the cost of the emergency teams that were sent out to rescue their son. But what about the family who lost that crop? I hope the sue them!
To add to the Heene’s issues, a man named Robert Thomas has surfaced saying that he has proof that this was a total hoax and that he helped plan it!
Was this the kind of fame they were going after? How desperate. Pathetic really. Richard Heene needs his head examined.
The defense in the John Travolta extortion case surprised the everyone in the Bahama courtroom when it rested its case after having only one witness. Just one!
A senator and paramedic are charged with trying to extort millions of dollars from the actor following the death of his 16 year old son, Jett.
Former Bahamas senator Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne are facing charges of conspiracy to extort $25 million (£17.2 million) from the grieving actor after his teenage son Jett suffered a fatal seizure on the resort in January (09).
The pair reportedly threatened to release a Refusal of Treatment Transportation form, which Travolta signed after requesting paramedics drive his son to the airport.
Travolta changed his mind after signing the Refusal of Treatment form and Jett was taken to the hospital in the Bahamas. The charges against Bridgewater and Lightbourne say that the duo were going to leak the form to the press in order to make it look like Travolta delayed helping his son.
Madonna is denying that she dumped “celebrity trainer” Tracy Anderson. Word was that Madonna got rid of Tracy when she and Philippe van den Bossche - the former head of Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity, started dating!!
“I did not ditch or fire her. I simply wanted to try a new method of working out when my tour ended. We remain friends and I wish her and Philippe all the best”.
It doesn’t surprise me that Madonna moved on from Anderson. She’s always chasing something new, exercise wise, and I’m sure working with the same person for three years was a little monotonous. I wonder if Gwyneth Palrow, who introduced Anderson to Madonna, will continue working with Anderson?
When asked by Coming Soon about details on a sequel to the mega hit Star Trek, the writers of the film said 2012 is the likely year for the release of the next film. Check it out!
At the 2009 Screenwriting Expo which is being held in downtown Los Angeles this year, ComingSoon.net asked Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the writers of Star Trek, if they could give us any updated info as to where the storyline will be going in the next film. While they’re still very much in the beginning stages and couldn’t give us many details, they did give a possible release date year.
“We’re rereading some of our favorite ‘Star Trek’ novels now and watching the original series again. The honest answer is we don’t know yet,” Orci said. “We think it’s going to be a 2012 release, but I’m not sure,” he continued.
“Originally we thought we were going to have to have the script in by Christmas, but the release changed so certainly within the next eight months I’d say,” Kurtzman told us.
Any news coming down the pipe about a sequel to this film is hot news for the whole new generation of Trekkies. Although they probably wouldn’t call themselves that, the new film has created a brand new mass of Star Trek fans that are eagerly awaiting the sequel. I really loved the new film, I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next with the story.
