The Brazilian supermodel, who has graced in Victoria’s Secret as well as Givenchy ads, has landed a new gig right in between both brands for the sexy yet high-fashion Blumarine.

For fall/winter 2011/12, Italian designer Anna Molinari’s fashion label revisits earlier campaigns: Lima already starred in its ads back in 1997.

Shot by Michelangelo di Battista in Paris, the new images show Blumarine’s trend-conscious fall/winter collection, with Lima modeling everything from color block to animal print and lace.

Kavita Channe… The ‘Barbara Walters’ of Sports

From a reality star to a celebrity/red carpet host turned sports reporter, Kavita Channe is covering all the bases. Not just a pretty face, this girl’s come a long way since her Paradise Hotel days! Her experience on that particular reality show was enough to prove that she was not that “type” of girl, but she values the education it gave her. Actually being on camera, talking to guests, asking interesting questions, getting the “real” story; this is her passion and these are not easy things to do. Everybody can’t do it (otherwise everybody would be on TV right now). Hard work is actually involved and Channe gets it done.

Many of you have seen her conversing with our favorite celebrities on the red carpets of one of the hottest cities, Miami. Whether discussing politics with Joe Francis, discussing art and winter vacations with Paris & Nicky Hilton, chatting it up with Modern Family star, Sofia Vergara or meeting Tila Tequila’s new girlfriend of the month, Kavita Channe gets Down & Dirty with all who she interviews. One of her more unique interviews came when all 4 members of LMFAO appeared on the red carpet and she exclaimed how she was in an “LMFAO sandwich” and she devoured that sandwich with ease.

She has been a correspondent on TLC’s Beauty Spaces and Designing Spaces, even made a small cameo in Michael Covel’s “Broke: The New American Dream” where she discusses investments. But her bread & butter is sports. This woman is nothing like you’ve seen before. Calling herself ‘The Barbara Walters of Sports’ on her Facebook & Twitter, it’s easy to see why with her interviews with athletes such as Lebron James and Dexter Pittman. They are downright funny, original and take you into a personal side of the athlete that many have never seen. Her self moniker is not a far stretch since she did audition for The View in 2004, who the spot ultimately went to Survivor’s Elizabeth Hasselback. “Everything happens for a reason” as Kavita says she “was not near ready at the time, being so young and green” and “is glad” she was not cast. But if asked to do it now, she says she would be casting gold!

And for why she loves reporting on sports, she says that “there is a lot of engaging material than people realize” which prompted her to create a comedic web-based series
1st Down & Dirty www.youtube.com/1stdownndirty where she produces, writes, and directs parodies surrounding sports headlines mixed with interviews from your favorite athletes. There is even a hilarious spin off of the show “Basketball Wives” called “Baseball Wives”.

Expanding on her talents, Kavita Channe has recently signed on as the spokesperson for PayMeOn which is similar to Groupon and Living Social but better. Not only do you save money by buying the deals, but you also make money by sharing the deals. “You actually get paid when you share deals rather than earning credits towards other deals” she says, “It’s a win/win and I am so excited to be affiliated with a company that creates social income for people, especially when times are hard, like now.” PayMeOn pays it’s users cash via paypal or sends them a check, whichever is preferred.

Channe has the looks, the education, the business savvy and uniqueness to continue growing her fan base (which is over 50,000 combined on Facebook and Twitter alone) for years to come and we are excited to follow her on that journey!

Oh Rihanna your a bad bad girl!
Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ tour is causing some hearts to quicken pace. After taking a spill on stage, Riri’s back on her feet and looking spicy!

At Los Angeles’ Staples Center, she wowed the crowd in a scandalously sexy get-up. In a bejeweled bikini, fishnets and fluorescent pink heels she delivered one memorable show– the R&B singer danced on top of cars with ladies in bodysuits and bright, yellow men.
Don’t worry we even provided a video for your viewing pleasure, check it out down below after the jump!

Think you could beat Kate Upton in a staring contest?

Posted on: June 30, 2011
No comments yet

Sports Illustrated’s 2011 Rookie of the Year Kate Upton stars in this exclusive video that pitted unsuspecting souls against the swimsuit beauty in a staring contest.

In 2008, Upton attended a casting call in Miami for Elite Model Management and was signed by them the same day. She eventually moved to New York City, where she signed with IMG Models.

Upton first modeled for Garage, then Dooney & Bourke. She is the 2010–11 face of Guess. In 2011, Upton appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She was featured in the body paint section and named Rookie of the Year for the issue. She has since modeled for Beach Bunny swimwear and Victoria’s Secret.

In April 2011, an internet video of her doing The Dougie at a Los Angeles Clippers game went viral and has served to increase her popularity.

In a June 2011 episode of Tosh.0, Upton made an appearance, participating in a segment called “Knife or Banana”, emulating a Japanese game show in which she is stabbed with a banana.

I have to admit i was a bit surprised by the collaboration photo-shoot with Sean Combs and Natalia Vodianova for this photoshoot. I loved the classic look minus the bling and extravagance that you would expect from Mr. Combs aka “DIDDY”. Sean wears classic mens cut suits and the editorial captures scenes that remind us of classic romanticism in a war time era. They both look amazing and Sean Combs never fails to impress me.

This foray into old Hollywood glamour – shot by Annie Leibovitz – can be seen in the gallery below.

Omega Constellation Baguette has a new addition to the line

Posted on: January 19, 2010
No comments yet

What does watch maker Omega do to add to an already amazing collection? Make it even more amazing of course! The newly redesigned Constellation line from Omega unveils its latest star. Every constellation in the universe has its brightest stars, and in Omega’s newly-redesigned Constellation line, nothing glitters more brilliantly than the unique and luxurious Constellation Baguette.

Omega Constellation Baguette

Omega Constellation Baguette

The Constellation Baguette has been created with a strong and vivid visual identity – its dial displays a dramatic supernova structure which emanates boldly from the diamond Constellation star on its mother-of-pearl background at 6 o’clock. The one-of-a-kind masterpiece glistens with 459 Top Wesselton diamonds totalling just over 30 carats.

The “invisible” mounting of the 146 baguette and trapeze diamonds on the dial means that no trace of the 18kt white gold used in the creation of its case can be seen between the precious stones.

Omega Constellation Baguette

Omega Constellation Baguette

Since the Omega Constellation Baguette is a one-of-a-kind horological masterpiece, every single one of its 459 beautiful diamonds has been cut exclusively for the watch.

If even just one of the stones needs to be replaced or exchanged, the process can take longer than it would for a series-production watch. Any new diamond will have to be custom-prepared so that it matches the color, clarity, cut and carat size of the stones around it. In fact, due to the absolutely unique nature of the Constellation Baguette, no standard replacement parts can be kept in stock – each one would have to be specially created for this extraordinary timepiece.

Classy Hollywood star, Scarlett Johansson embodies the essence of Dolce & Gabbana’s  new ‘Rose the One’ fragrance.

Her femininity and sexy sophistication definitely make for a lasting impression!

Adriana Lima 2009 Tribute

Posted on: September 26, 2009
2 comments so far (is that a lot?)

Adriana Lima, 2009 Tribute

Adriana Francesca Lima (born June 12, 1981 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil) is a Brazilian supermodel, best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret. She is currently the 3rd highest paid model in the world behind Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss. She is represented by DNA NY in the United States, Lumiere Models in Brazil and VIVA Models in Europe.

Adriana was discovered when at the age of 15, she finished in first place in a Ford Supermodel of Brazil model search. This got her a ticket to the 1996 Ford Supermodel of the World contest. She didn’t win and placed second, but it still got her noticed. Shortly after, Lima moved to New York City, and eventually moved on from Ford, signing with Elite Model Management. Her early career consisted mostly of fashion editorial work (with early appearances in international editions of Vogue and Marie Claire in 1997/1998), as well as runway work (Christian Lacroix, Valentino, and others). Lima’s first big break came when she was featured in a Vassarette billboard in Times Square. Her print career followed, and like many other famous names (Claudia Schiffer, Laetitia Casta, Eva Herzigova), Lima became a GUESS? Girl in their 2000 campaign.

Lima continued to build upon her entry, doing more print work (Maybelline, Bebe, Mossimo, BCBG) and gracing the cover and editorials of more high fashion magazines (Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Vogue). Probably best known for her Victoria’s Secret work and Angel status, Lima first graced the VS runway in 1999, and was the show opener for the 2003 and 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.

In 2001, Adriana Lima starred in the short BMW Film The Follow alongside actors Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, and Forest Whitaker. In the film, Owen’s character is hired to follow Lima’s, who is suspected of cheating on her famous husband, played by Rourke. The film had a runtime of 8:47 including credits, was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, and directed by Wong Kar-Wai. Lima made it clear that acting is not her priority and that she only did The Follow because it was a short film.

Adriana, a Roman Catholic, was born an only child. She has has been romantically linked to celebrities in this past, including an engagement with rocker Lenny Kravitz and a relationship with Major League Baseball player Derek Jeter. She is currently known to be dating Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein. This relationship has been a relatively “hot” topic for the society spy columns and celebrity watchers, specifically Page 6, New York Post and Hola! online magazine.

She gained a massive amount of fame in Italy after her mega contract with the Italian cellphone carrier Telecom Italia Mobile grew very popular. In total it earned her 6 million dollars and she has said she’s not able to walk down the street in Italy.

Adriana also does charitable work helping with an orphanage, “Caminhos da Luz” (Ways of Light), located in her hometown. She helps with construction to expand the orphanage, and buys clothes for poor children in Salvador, Bahia.

Adriana’s father walked out on her and her mother when Adriana was 6 months old, Lima has met him only once since. When she was about 15 years old Adriana wanted to travel to Miami for a modeling competition but she was not allowed to leave Brazil without certain legal papers that her father owned. Lima has said that she does not hate her father because “there is a reason for everything” and she believes that her life was fine growing up and that the presence of an unhappy father could have resulted in an unhappy home environment.

“I wouldn’t change anything about my life. I am afraid that if I did, things might have turned out differently and I am currently living my dream. If that means I had to deal with demons, then I will do it. I got through everything and I am very proud of myself…Life without a father was confusing at times, I didn’t know if I was to blame and I didn’t know anything about him…but I love my mother and I have a bond with her that most people don’t share with their own mothers. It all worked out.”
