5 Facts About Demi Moore’s New Maybe-Boyfriend Scott-Vincent Borba

Natalie Zutter — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:13:06 +0000

Barely two weeks after Demi Moore announced that she was filing for divorce from her husband of six years Ashton Kutcher, the press has her “dating” a new man. RadarOnline broke the story — if there is a story to break — about Demi and celebrity beauty guru Scott-Vincent Borba.

Of course instead of giving RadarOnline a straight answer, Scott-Vincent said, “I do not comment on my personal life,” only fueling the rumors. Personally, we’d like poor Demi to be able to take some alone time without people obsessing over her relationship status. But if it’s the real thing, then we might as well know all we can about the guy, right?

1. He and Demi are “old friends,” the typical explanation you get for surprise relationships popping up out of nowhere. “They have known each other a long time,” a source tells Radar, “and he’s really been there for her by her side through the whole Ashton thing.”

2. Like her ex Ashton, Scott-Vincent is a cub/cougar hunter/whatever you kids call a younger man with an older woman. In fact, he and Ashton are basically the same age; the Two and a Half Men star is 33, and the beauty mogul is described only as “mid-30s.”

3. Scott-Vincent is no stranger to Hollywood; Borba, the skincare/makeup line he founded, has graced the faces of Ashley Greene, AnnaLynne McCord, Mila Kunis, and Stacey Keibler. His niche within the Hollywood community, the Radar source explains, is why it’s easy for him to have a relationship with a high-profile actress without garnering too much attention. Yes, because he and Demi would totally go to the same parties as Kim Kardashian and Audrina Patridge (both of whom he’s seen posing with on his MySpace page).

However, he also thinks about the common woman and launched Eyes Lips Face back in 2004, which sells lipsticks, eyeliners, and more for $1-$5.

4. I feel like this fact comes up about several of the men we profile: Scott-Vincent used to be a Ford runway model for Calvin Klein and Versace.

5. He has a dance single! We could not have hoped for a cheesier fifth fact. And it’s called “Skin Deep”! ONTD tracked down the video, which exhorts his viewers to shrug off brand names and be true to your inner beauty:

The 5 Best Parts From E!’s New Model Search Series Scouted

Natalie Zutter — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:10:16 +0000

Finish this phrase for me: If they have what it takes…to become America’s Next Top Model, right? Wrong—it’s E!’s new show Scouted, which is also about young women hoping to break into the modeling industry but looks at the process from the other side of the table. Each episode features the same scouting agencies, with a new crop of fresh-faced ladies for them to mold and train into successful candidates to be signed by One Management in New York City.

The pilot introduced us to sweet-as-pie Texas girl Gillian and the hopeful, but often self-sabotaging, Jennifer. Here were our five favorite moments from their journeys.

1. The awkwardness of scouting. Something I would’ve liked to see a lot more of in the pilot — but that I’m sure will pop up in future episodes — is the actual process of watching the scouts approach girls at football games, in stores, or even at the food court. We got a glimpse of this at the very beginning, when one of the scouts admits that she’s very forward so as not to miss out on an opportunity. “I’m sure they think that I’m some psycho stalker,” she laughed, “but it’s my job to convince them I’m normal.”

2. Jennifer’s mom Chanel. The producers chose to show us both sides of the spectrum in this episode, contrasting Gillian’s serious backstory with the more flighty Jennifer and her overbearing momager Chanel. She probably won’t be the worst person we meet on this series, but she was the pilot’s most amusing character. She would interrupt Kristen Kotik when she was giving Jennifer constructive criticism on how not to be a flake, but she was a wreck during Jennifer’s big shoot: Doing that exhaling-to-keep-from-crying bit and even leaving the room in tears halfway through. No surprise, after Chanel left, Jennifer loosened up.

3. A sense of perspective. And then the show truly surprised me. When one of the agency’s employees left the shoot to talk to Chanel, I rolled my eyes at all the attention that this diva mom was raking in. But then she said, “I want her to be able to model from her heart without saying, ‘Oh my God, my mom is right there.’” The employee even praises Chanel for walking out, saying, “I think it’s amazing that you see the big picture.”

4. Frank talk about weight… Throughout the episode, scout Page Parkes can’t stop praising how beautiful Gillian is, and how she can play tomboy or pretty girl, and that her face is nigh angelic. Then we get down to the final deliberations, and suddenly director of scouting Julia Samersova bluntly says that Gillian has to lose her baby weight. What baby weight! Regardless, One decides to sign her. So if you thought this show would pussyfoot around the more leery parts of the modeling industry, rest assured they seem to be covering most of the bases.

5. …and beauty. In the preview for the season, I was struck by this line, spoken by one of the scouts: ”A lot of models are not pretty.” She references how the features that the fashion world would find beautiful — gangly limbs, impossible height, angular features — make teenagers feel like freaks.

Scouted acknowledges that for the most part, its stars are gawky, pubescent kids. Sure, there’s the odd 29-year-old, but this adventure is about watching young girls literally get plucked off the street and thrust into a new world. Whether or not they actually get signed, their lives are changed.

Scouted airs Mondays at 10 p.m. EST on E!

Scary-Skinny Ali Lohan’s First Cover Is Ironically For Fault Magazine

Natalie Zutter — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:44:15 +0000

Newly-minted fashion model Aliana Lohan – with her newly-minted face — has already done two inappropriately sexual photo shoots. Her latest gig, which got her the cover, is closer to high-fashion than skeevy exploitation… but you have to giggle at the fact that it’s for a magazine called Fault.

What angers us most about this situation is that Ali’s startlingly skinny body and likely surgically-enhanced face are a cry for help, but are either ignored or encouraged by mother Dina. When you see the Lohans, they’re falling all over each other at parties. Older sister and supposed role model Lindsay – who we’re convinced is a meth addict — just got her probation revoked and might end up in jail.

Ali looks too old for 17 in this shoot, and even though she’s not doing anything inappropriate, we still worry about her. And really, you would’ve thought momager Dina could find a magazine with a less on-the-nose name.

5 Facts About Jack Osbourne’s Fiancée Lisa Stelly

Natalie Zutter — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:49:23 +0000

Jack Osbourne is engaged—and it’s his fiancée Lisa Stelly who broke the news. The aspiring actress tweeted about it last night. Surprisingly, there are absolutely no details about how the two met — though we know that Jack’s been spending time behind the camera as a filmmaker — and how he asked her. But we did manage to scrounge up 5 facts about Lisa!

1. Her most well-known role was in Green Day‘s “21 Guns” video. Because their album 21st Century Breakdown is another rock opera, she’s credited as playing Gloria in the opera.

2. She’s kind of a nerd! You find out a lot from a girl’s Facebook page: The Friday Night Lights fan’s profile picture is a Keep Calm and Carry On poster that reads Keep Calm and Coach Taylor; and she’s posted a photo of herself dolled up to look like a Na’vi from Avatar. Our kind of girl!

3. She started out as a model. We can’t tell for which campaigns, but there are plenty of photos on her Facebook, as well as this portfolio uploaded to YouTube:

4. It’s hard to tell, but she might’ve had a rough time of it in previous relationships. The one quote that accompanies every announcement of their engagement is from an insider, who says that Jack “is a great influence on her… It’s just no drama. More stable.” More stable than what?

5. She’s not so cool that she won’t mock other celebrities; in her most recent tweet she joked that Courtney Stodden‘s tweets make her “physically ill but alas I keep reading…”

Hot Shot: New 90210 Star Justin Deeley Modeling Underwear

Natalie Zutter — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 20:28:41 +0000

We were so busy worrying about whether new 90210 guest actor Ryan Rottman is replacing Trevor Donovan that another casting announcement slipped right by us! Meet Justin Deeley, who’s apparently not related to So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley. He’ll be appearing on 90210 as “sexy cowboy type” Austin.

TVLine reports that, as with most 90210 characters, Austin is keeping a secret: He’s the son of a country singer, so he’s actually much wealthier than at first glance. This is all fine and good, except that he’s being positioned as the new love interest for Naomi (AnneLynne McCord). No one better try to break up Naomi and her boyfriend/babydaddy Max (Josh Zuckerman)!

Anyway, that’s all on tonight. For the time being, stare at Justin modeling for International Jock.

Gallery: Surprise! Ali Lohan’s First Modeling Gig Is Inappropriately Sexual

Liana Maeby — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 14:00:51 +0000

The more we find out about 17-year-old Ali Lohan‘s new modeling career, the more disheartened we feel. First there were allegations of plastic surgery and extreme weight loss, and now we see that the fruit of Ali’s labors have added over-sexualization to the list of offenses.Her first job, for the jean brand PRVCY, has her looking all pouty with her midriff bared and her ass in the air. Appropriate behavior from a minor, no?

Ali Lohan Gets Crazy Plastic Surgery, No Longer Looks Like A Lohan

Jamie Peck — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:16:18 +0000

Aliana T. Lohan, “chameleon-like beauty,” is currently making good on that description by looking a bit different than she did a year ago. And by “a bit different,” I mean fucking unrecognizable. Gone is the freckle-faced cutie who first gained prominence for wearing age-inappropriate clothing while standing next to her older sister in photos. In a small space of time, the 17-year-old appears to have had her lips plumped, her cheekbones enhanced, and possibly her nose “refined.” She also appears to have had done something to make her eyes open wider, which I didn’t know was possible. The only change I’m into at all is the eyebrows, because a full, well-shaped brow looks nice on most people, and because it didn’t involve taking a scalpel to a child’s face.

The Fab Life notes that she looks “shockingly thin,” because duh, the fashion industry takes naturally skinny people and puts them on diets, but I think it’s at least partly due to her newly enlarged face making the rest of her look smaller by comparison.

I hate to say it, but from afar, she does sort of approximate the kind of lanky, lollipop-headed, dramatic-featured teenager the fashion industry likes to dress up in fineries and photograph. She’s also looking a lot less Long Island, which is always good. She should be careful, though. Her sole claim to fame thus far is her proximity to her tabloid-y but legitimately famous sister, and if she changes her appearance too much, people may no longer be able to identify her as a Lohan. Then again, with the 24/7 histrionic soap opera that is her family, maybe she wants to distance herself from them. It was either this or the witness protection program, and this had better parties.

I leave you with a photo of Lohan’s face in happier(?) times:

Never forget.

UPDATE: Check out Ali’s first modeling spread since signing with NEXT modeling agency.

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.

Amy Poehler Used To Be A Hospital Model!

Drew Grant — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 16:57:35 +0000

We still can’t believe that these images weren’t taken as part of some viral campaign to promote tonight’s 3rd season premiere Parks and Recreation. But Tumblrette Franny-Glass found the photos of comedy star Amy Poehler dressed as some sort of terrifyingly chipper candy-stripe girl in Getty Images’ stock photography section, and who are we to say that 10 years ago Amy wasn’t struggling to make ends meet and turned to the sordid world of catalogue modeling to pay the bills? We’ve all been there girl. (Via Buzzfeed)
