Ali Lohan Scores Modeling Contract Based On Her ‘Chameleon-Like Beauty’

Jamie Peck — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:22:51 +0000

Lesser Lohan Ali (or as she’d like to be known from now on, Aliana T), has officially signed a contract with NEXT Model Management, the same agency that reps Milla Jovovich and Molly Simms. As her new twitter account proclaims, she’s now a real model. (Don’t try to follow her. It’s boring. I will let you know if it ever gets exciting.)

“In fashion, Ali will set herself apart as a bona fide icon,” NEXT LA Director Alexis Borges told RadarOnline. “One that fashion fans will follow not because of her famous last name, but because of the beautiful images and fashion trends she is helping create.” Perhaps sensing she (he?) needed to be more specific as to what, exactly, makes Lohan a good model, Alexis told JustJared that “she represents the future face of fashion and will be a photographer’s dream with her chameleon-like beauty.” O RLY?

Ali Lohan’s always been a little cutie, but I’m not sure she’s really got that intense, alien beauty required of high fashion models. Here are some pictures of the 17-year-old “showing off her sexy side” while modeling clothes from her older sister’s line, 6126:

Then again, I guess someone in the family has to be working now that Lindsay’s problems have caused a slump in her schedule. It’ll be interesting to see if NEXT is able to make people take her seriously enough to land her any major campaigns.

Fox looking to pick up Idol for three extra years

Sherry — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 17:29:17 +0000

Despite the near-constant buzz that Simon Cowell may leave American Idol, Fox doesn’t appear to be too concerned by their high-profile judge’s possible departure.

Although Fox currently has a contract with Idol until 2011, they’re allegedly in the process of working on a deal that would see the network picking up an additional three years to keep Idol on the air. They seem to be very gung-ho about sticking with the sentiment of “the show must go on” with or without Simon.

I still have trouble being able to imagine Idol without Simon Cowell just because he’s my favorite judge, but in the end I tune in to see the performances and to cheer on whichever contestant is my favorite. I love the judges’ comments but that’s not what makes or breaks it for me. Strange as it will be without Simon if he doesn’t renew his contract, I’ll definitely still tune in if Fox adds another three years to American Idol!

Paula Abdul Tweets “I’ve Decided Not to Return” to American Idol

Jeanne — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:21:11 +0000

American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, put up some interesting (and possibly sad) Twitter updates.

Tweet #1 – With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all..Cont’d…

Tweet #2 – I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent,but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon.

Tweet #3 – What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me

Tweet #4 – It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month

Tweet #5 – I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.

This could, of course, all be part of a ploy to scare the producers into giving her a better deal. If it is true, I’m going to be really sad. They’ve renewed Kara DioGuardi’s contract so maybe they had planned to push Paula out? Whatever the case, I don’t think that Paula should leave. Sure, there’s been lots of speculation over her possible departure but I thought execs said she could stay on the show “however long it lasts.”

This is the second judge in as many days to leave an Idol show (Kyle Sandilands was fired from Australian Idol). What do you think?

Chris Already Getting Offers

Jason Bean — Fri, 12 May 2006 13:06:01 +0000

This article states that Chris Daughtry was contacted in the past by the group Fuel, to be their new frontman. Seems like after he performed their song, “Hemorrhage”, their song shot up to the Top 10 Download list on iTunes and the band contacted him at that point.

Guess discussions never really went anywhere. I’m sure the Idol producers wouldn’t let much action take place with Chris actively on the show. However, since Chris was suprisingly voted off on Tuesday night, Fuel’s bassist, Jeff Abercrombie stated the following on the TV show “Extra”.

‘Chris, if you are watching, we`ve talked about this before, and if you want to entertain it again we`ll take it and go,’ Abercrombie said.

I think this is a great opportunity for Chris if he’s interested. However, I’ve had a friend that tried out for Idol and she said you wouldn’t believe the contractual agreements you have to commit to if you make it to even be a finalist. The producers basically have control over any career you have in the industry until they release you from the contract. Looks like this will be an interesting American Idol sub-plot to keep up with.

Thanks Ben for the heads-up.
