Christy Turlington Covers Elle Germany 2010 (But First It Was Tatler 2007)

The fabulous Christy Turlington gets Germany’s Elle magazine cover for December 2010. One of the original supermodels of the 90s looks as gorgeous as ever in the sedate yet stunning portrait by photographer Mark Abrahams.

At first glance you think, gosh – she hasn’t aged a day – and while she still looks amazing this is typical magazine recycling.  This cover was first used in Turlington’s UK Tatler January 2007 cover (see that image below.)

Turlington models seldom anymore and has become a strong activist and advocate for maternal and childrens health issues around the globe. Check out her twitter to stay up to date with her thoughts and current focus.

Cory Monteith and Lea Michele grab the cover of Teen Vogue’s December 2010 issue. The Glee costars have great chemistry and say the set is a great place and everyone is friends, mostly:

Teen Vogue: There’ve been so many rumors about various cast hookups.

Lea Michele: Oh, we’ve all gotten down and dirty. It’s, like, nasty. We can’t keep our hands off each other.

Cory Monteith: It’s borderline disgusting.

Lea Michele: Raunchy. No, I hate to be boring, but we’re just friends. I think Mark and Naya dated for a little while. . .

Teen Vogue: Yes, the key incident.

Lea Michele: And now it’s the key incident. I have no idea.

All I have to say is that it was nice when they were together.

The Glee cover of Teen Vogue is on sale November 23rd.

20 Years Of Anna Sui – Fashioning A Look Back

Anna Sui is celebrating 20 years in the fashion business – that is a huge milestone when many designers don’t make it past their paper anniversary.

The fashion designer set the bar for in demand clothes as the supermodels of the 80s and 90s Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss loved her aesthetic so much, they worked her runway shows for free in the beginning. Sui was close friends with influential photographer Steven Meisel and as his star rose, so did hers, but Sui always had a unique creative process and a true love of clothing and craftsmanship that gave her pieces that extra ‘oomph’ everyone looks for that would set her apart from others.

Author Andrew Bolton has taken a look back at her career and the milestones in her professional life in a new book simply titled: Anna Sui. At the Rizzoli Bookstore signing in New York City, Sui reminisced about her first catwalk show:

“It was in 1991, which was the height of the powers of Versace and Chanel. The prospect of doing a fashion show was frightening. It was friends like Steven Meisel and Paul Cavaco who convinced me that I had to do it. Linda [Evangelista] and Naomi [Campbell] helped me get all the other models together, and Linda was backstage directing the dressing. Friends like Francois [Nars] and Garren did the hair and makeup, so it was a meaningful experience that all of my friends supported me.”

Anna’s advice to fashion designers trying to make it today? Learn your craft well and focus on what you’re good at – sportswear, swimwear, evening – whatever you excel at will help you wade through what can be such a brutal business.

For a retrospective look at Sui’s career – some say the quintessential downtown NY style queen, grab a copy of the tome at Chronicle books.

‘Toy Story 3′ Emotional Ending Set To ‘LOST’ Score – Life & Death

The emotional ending of Toy Story 3 was hard enough. Watching the toys we’ve become so attached to – Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jesse and all the other toys – sliding down the incinerator walls set to a heart-tugging Randy Newman score, that is Pixar storytelling at it’s finest.

LOST took viewers on that same heartbreaking journey last spring as the show came to it’s conclusion, the characters slipped away, one by one, set to composer Michael Giacchino’s poignant theme.

Set yourself down to cry a spell as you watch the Toy Story 3 ending set to LOST’s music and well, the apt title “Live Together, Die Alone” comes to mind. It becomes so powerful, I honestly dare you not to at least tear up.

I need more tissues.

Brad Pitt’s Chilean Miner Movie Rumors Are False

There’s been a rumor floating around that Brad Pitt and his production company were bidding on the rights to the recent story about the 33 Chilean miners that were trapped below ground for 69 days. These rumors are false!

Finally, there have been reports floating around today that Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B is planning to make a film about the formerly trapped Chilean miners. But EWreached out to the company and was given a simple response: the whole story is false.

I was wondering how that would possibly translate as a movie. I’m glad it’s not happening, but I’m sure some versions of this story will bubble up in new projects regardless.

Sneak Peek: John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe in ‘The Raven’ (Images)

Here’s the first image of John Cusack playing Edgar Allen Poe from the upcoming film The Raven.

Nevermore will you say you haven’t seen what John Cusack looks like as legendary master of horror, Edgar Allen Poe. The High Fidelity actor is currently in Budapest shootingThe Raven with director James McTeigue, who directed V for Vendetta. In the film, Poe goes on a search for a murderer who is mimicking crimes from his works.

I didn’t even know about this movie until now, so I’m actually pretty excited about this. I love Edgar Allen Poe and it’ll be great to see a live incarnation of the legend. I hope Cusack can pull it off!

First ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Poster Looks Cool

Here’s the very first poster for the upcoming Jon Favereau (Iron Man 1 & 2) movie Cowboys & Aliens.

Pretty cool poster, the glowing alien looking device is a great highlight to the uniqueness of this comic book film. I’m definitely going to see this one. Next summer is going to be pretty great for movies.

Bill Clinton Gets ‘Hangover II’ Cameo

Bill Clinton reportedly has a cameo in the upcoming comedy sequel The Hangover Part II.

Our spies say they saw Bill walk on the set and were told by crew members he was filming a cameo. None of the people we spoke to, however, saw Bill actually step in front of the camera.

Although some people associated with the flick have told us Bill just “hung out,” we’ve now confirmed he did indeed shoot a cameo.

Pretty big cameo, I’ll bet his will be in the trailer. When is the last time the Secretary of State’s spouse was in a movie? I imagine he played himself, much like Mike Tyson in the first one.
