FIRST LOOK: Gisele’s first post-baby photo shoot

Gisele Bundchen has gone back to work six weeks after giving birth to son Benjamin, her baby with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, shooting the Colcci campaign with David Sims in Boston. And she’s looking good!

Brazilian magazine Fantastico got the scoop, with super-mum Gisele revealing to their reporter that she “gave birth in the bathtub” at her Beacon Hill, Boston, penthouse rather than the hospital. Stay tuned for the ads, which come out next month.

Posh ‘n’ Becks each score a 10

It might have taken 10 Magazine 10 years to put a celebrity on it’s cover, but to celebrate their 10th birthday they have hit us with not one, but two hot Beckhams – with Victoria and David scoring matching His and Hers covers.

“This is an incredibly exciting way to start our second decade and the first time we’ve ever featured celebrities on our covers,” editor-in-chief Sofia Neophitou-Apostolou says on the mag’s blog. “For me, David and Victoria are an intriguing power entity with a truly renaissance attitude. They are multi-faceted and incredibly clever in the approach to their celebrity status, defying the transient nature of that celebrity to create true longevity as a brand and force to be reckoned with.”

Along with a 40-page editorial featuring the super-hot couple, Posh reveals some things we didn’t know about her in the 10 interview, including that her and Jennifer Lopez are the same dress size! Yes, really, she’s serious.
“The dress I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!” Who, indeed!

Jessica Simpson’s new denim line

She’s created handbags, jewellery and shoes, now Jessica also wants you to buy her jeans – the sometime pop star and actress adding denim to her Jessica Simpson Collection fashion range.

“Because I live in denim, the fit was the most important,” she says of her collection, which will include flares, boot cuts, skinnies and even jeggings. “A girl’s booty needs to look good. I was inspired to create a great denim line that complements the entire Jessica Simpson lifestyle brand – a jean that becomes a girl’s best friend, that everyday go-to pair.”

While her acting and singing career may be faltering, not to mention her shambolic personal life, she told Vanity Fair in May 2009 her fashion brand was a $430 million business. “It’s adorable and it’s affordable. What’s amazing right now, during this recession, is that, somehow, the business keeps growing.”

Angelina dropped by fashion label

She’s been touted as the world’s most beautiful woman but it seems US fashion brand St. John have tired of Angelina Jolie. CEO Glenn McMahon told WWD that Angelina “overshadowed the brand” and that they “wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette”.

So in the spirit of showing “a modern point of view” and how they “evolved” St. John have tapped flame-haired model Karen Elson as Jolie’s successor. Seems sometimes you can be too famous…

Karl Lagerfeld eats his words about plus-size models

Karl Lagerfeld has always been vocal about his preference for skinny models. Here’s a sample quote:

“No one wants to see curvy women,” he infamously said last October when asked if he thought people wanted to see fuller figures on the catwalk. “You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly.”

But Lagerfeld, who maintains a razor-sharp grasp on the zeitgeist, is eating his words and jumping on the fat-is-fabulous bandwagon by shooting the voluptuous burlesque dancer Miss Dirty Martini for V magazine. The shoot took place at Chanel’s headquarters in Paris and featured Miss Martini wearing Chanel camellia brooches as nipple pasties. Ooh la la!

With the Kaiser on board, maybe it really will be the year of the plus-size model…
