Semi nude male models...just because Part 3

I've said it before and I'll say it again- searching for semi nude male models is a tough gig. I know it seems like it's all fun and pervs, but it's really not. Firstly you have to trawl through pages and pages of show photos till you find anything worth using. And then I have to (quickly) upload them before anyone else in my 'open planned' (damn you wall-less work space!) office, catches on to what I'm doing, and starts to think I'm a big perv!

Yet, no matter what obstacles that come my way, I'm willing to overcome them- just to keep you --my readers-- happy. Because they can take our freedom, but they'll never take our semi nude male models!

Karl Lagerfeld's bodyguard models for Chanel

Strange but true. Apparently he took to the stage at the recent Paris shows. Here's the low down-

Karl Lagerfeld’s bodyguard Sebastien Jondeau made his runway debut the morning of the show, modeling—if only slightly awkwardly—two snug looks. “It was strange and funny because for me it was something new,” he admitted afterward. “But it was a treat to be there and something special to me.” The timing of his looks was perfect, as Jondeau’s final runway walk with the rest of the models culminated precisely with Lagerfeld’s runway bow—allowing the handsome Parisian bachelor to assume his original duties.

Man I can't believe I let this one slip through the cracks. That is fuckin hilarious. Trust Karl to have a hot bodyguard. Do you think he cuts scarves with his Samurai sword-- ala Kevin Costner in the Bodyguard-- to impress Karl? Can't you just see him carrying a scared Karl in his big arms, as they battle there way through an overzealous crowd at a Chanel show- "You're safe now lil' fella, I'll never let you go."

You wish you looked as hot as Scar J

Scar J is on the most recent cover of Vogue (US), in a story and photo shoot, all about 'embracing your shape'. She sure gets alot of attention for having an arse! Seriously Anna Wintour- it's NO big deal! In fact if you ever left the bubble of the Vogue offices you'd probably notice that half of America has arses- big fat wobbly ones. And in comparison to the majority of US women, Scar j is a twig. So get over it, and stop deceptively glorifying her for the way she was born. We all know that if you had it your way- no one heavier than the physical weight of your magazine, would ever grace the cover.

Check out the article here.

And check out the pics from the mag below. Can you believe that the plain Jane from Ghost World would one day grow up to be so hot?

I don't know why they used the photo they have for the cover- there are so many hotter ones inside the mag...

(Ghost World 2001)
Yawn...

Va Va Vrooom!

Whoop ba ba looba bing bang boom!!!

Donetella's daugther receives treatment for Anorexia

"Our daughter, Allegra, has been battling anorexia, a very serious disease, for many years,” Versace and Paul Beck said in a statement released by spokesman Robert Zimmerman.

“She is receiving the best medical care possible to help overcome this illness and is responding well. As parents, we are doing our best to protect our daughter. However, due to numerous media reports, we want to let everyone know that we appreciate their concern for Allegra, and we ask that her privacy be respected at this time.”

This is what happens when your mother is Donetella FUCKING Versace! I'm not saying it's completely her fault. Obviously not everyone who grows up in the fashion biz becomes a friend of 'Anna'. I mean look at Margherita Missoni. She grew up in the same environment as Allegra, yet has so far managed to avoid entering any type of treatment centre. However the fact that this is an achievement, for the child of a celebrity, certainly says something about how fucked up their world's are. I mean besides the backstage scenes, full of bony models with empty stomachs and even emptier minds, imagine living in Casa de Versace? Picture little Allegra, eating her breakfast in the palatial kitchen as a wigless Donetella stumbles in, ciggie in mouth, lips seeping collagen, eyes blazing red, white residue caked in her nose creases- 'Darrrrling, moommy, has a terrible headache. Be a pooossum and rub my feeeeet while I scream at the fridge.' That's enough to turn anyone off their food!

Casting call for Project Runway 4

Project Runway is about to begin casting for season 4. If you can sew a hem without ending up in the emergency ward, then visit the website and apply.

Compared to 99% of Reality TV, where it seems the only skill needed to be a contestant, is the ability to lose weight at a rapid rate, or look surprised when your modified car/house/boyfriend is reveled-- the contestants on Project Runway actually need to have talent. In fact that's the whole point of the show: whomever can make the best dress, wins. Simple as that. And it's addictively entertaining. When tattoo-face Jeffrey, made Angela's mum cry, I was glued to the screen. And with Heidi Klum as host what more could you ask for?
Heidi even gives Donald Trump a run for his money with her unintentionally chilly, trademark farewell- "Auf Wiedersehen!" (Goodbye in German) and a quick kiss on either side of their cheeks. Cold, ice cold. Just the way we like it.

Herpes are hot!

The couple hide there weeping sores from the paparazzi, under identical black scarfs, as they leave there London home for a fashion studio.

Hope the photographer at the studio has a seriously good retoucher on staff. Cold sores are a little hard to disguise with make up alone- I've tried, believe you me...(oh shit, I've said too much)

Hope you're having a nice afternoon douche bag!

P.S. If you don't know what douching is google it now!

Madonna Causes H&M Mayhem

According to the Drowned Madonna website, a stampede erupted at the Toronto H&M store, yesterday, as bustling shoppers scratched their fellow customers eyes out, scrambling for a piece from the new Madonna designed range. Expect to see the pieces on Ebay faster than you can say- 'my nose, you broke my fucking nose!'.

Kent Mogg cont'd

Readers, as posted yesterday, we've found the original Polaroid of Kate Moss, mis-labeled Kent Mogg! It's a little hard to see, but if you squint you'll notice it in the bottom right corner. Fuckin hilarious!

(Thanks to Alison Horne for her contstant inspriation for post topics)

Unkle Karl- Pic of the week

So, most people don't know this, but Unkle Karl is, like, THE biggest Seinfeld fan. This photo was actually taken during the Kenny Kramer reality tour in Monk's coffee shop, in NYC. Karl was sooo excited to be there he just had to get a photo in the booth that the real life characters used to sit in. He even bought a pen along, just in case any of the actors decided to make a surprise visit. Unfortunately they didn't. But Karl just wouldn't let go of that pen- "vat if Jerry valks in and I miss my chance to get an autograph? I might die! Success, money, size 28-vaist, these things are good, but to get Jerry Seinfeld's signature- that would be my greatest achievement! I could die a happy man."

One day Karl, one day.

Kate Moss AKA Kent Mogg

Yesterday in the UK, the new May Vogue come out. It features our fave Kate Moss on the cover, in her very own Topshop creation (hope you all watched the video Tom posted yesterday!!). Can't wait to get my hot little hands on a copy of this issue.

A funny story about Kate Moss. In her early days she was known as Kent Mogg! The name arose from a shoot she did in Japan. A photographers assistant, who didn't have the best grasp of the English language, mis-labeled a poloroid of her as Kent Mogg!! Love it!

Madonna H&M outtake

Via Perez Hilton, check out this outtake from Madonna's recent TVC for her range of clothes at H&M, where she gets a bit slap happy.

I know a few thousand men (circa 1992) who wouldn't mind being slapped by Madonna... or pissed on while she masturbates a horse ridden by Naomi Campbell (anyone remember The SEX book?). Express yourself, don't repress yourself!

Donetella falls head over heels for Elton

We don't feature nearly enough Donetella Versace on youwish... But that is going to change from this day onwards. Here, Ol' Donny has a little stumble as she heads into Elton John's 60th b'day bash, in NYC, Saturday night. But like a true pro, she quickly found her feet, brushed her weave out of her face, and posed like a hot bitch for the cameras. Magnifico!

Magazine Monday- Stick a wick in her and she'd melt

Yes! I've finally done a Magazine Monday, on a Monday. I'm so proud of myself I could cry. But I won't... or more I can't. After my botched eye lift, my tear ducts just haven't been the same- damn you Dr. 90210!

But back to the post. Lindsay Lohan is on the latest cover of GQ magazine. Photographed by famed photog Terry 'I-fuck-everyone-I-shoot' Richadson, Lindsay is doing her best busty bombshell posses in these shots.

But is it just me, or does Lindsay look eerily like a Madame Tussuad's wax statue of herself? Maybe it's a sly hint to the wax house to get them to hurry up and invite her to pose. It's like her audition. She's sending a message that she would look "totally smokin", in wax, if they just gave her the chance...

Lindsay could single handedly support the Red Bull Formula One team, with the amount she drinks of the stuff!

"Who needs an eye patch, when you've got a fringe?"

"Am I taking the photo, or are you? I'm confused. Too many nights out on the water, if ya know what I mean ;)"

Kate Moss's Top Shop Podcast

You're NO one until you've got a podcast, and you're even more of a NO one until you've designed a range of clothing for H & M or Topshop. And Kate Moss is SOMEBODY god damn it, cos she's got both. The latest celeb to to add fashion designer to their CV, Kate's range will feature ugg boots and jeans inspired by her tattoos. Good Lord!

I just don't get this obsession with celebrities designing clothes, I mean isn't fashion designing a trade? Doesn't it take skill, and years of training? Shouldn't it only be done by people who've studied it at school, or worked their arses off in a fashion house learning the trade. I wouldn't let Kate design my house. It would be a disaster. The place would end up with hundreds of mirrored surfaces and no kitchen. Yet when it comes to making clothes, the public seem more than happy to let celebs like Coke-head Kate and Horse-face Parker dress them.
Coco Chanel must be rolling in her chiffon lined grave!

Because he's so damn funny...

While not really having much to do with fashion, I just had to post this video that Ricky Gervais made for Comic relief in the UK. It's fucking hilarious. Best line ever- "who's that homeless smackhead... oh it's sir Bob Geldof!"

Say What!- Jerry Hall

"I actually prefer older men. They make better lovers because they're more experienced. Young guys are fun and you get to do things you wouldn't normally do, like play pool. But I hate their taste in music. That can be pretty bad." JERRY HALL (Daily Mirror)

We here at youwish... love us some Jerry Hall. She's one strong lady, staying with Mick for all those years when every man and his gossip loving dog, knew he was cheating on her. But as much as I love her, the quote above has me confused. I wasn't aware that 'playing pool' was an activity limited only to the young. And if that's really the most exciting thing you're getting up to with a fit young fella (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you know what I'm saying!) then you need to throw in your diva membership and send him off to someone who knows what they're doing. Janice Dickinson might be able to help you out.

Magazine Monday (Thursday Edition)- Battle of the Boys

It's the battle of the hotties for this issue of Magazine Monday- Thursday edition (I promise that one day I'll do it on a Monday).

In the blue corner we have Mr JT, looking dapper in a cashmere sweater, on the cover of Details magazine, complaining about the burden of being rich and constantly in demand for his cock.

Man it's tough being you JT, it really is. I mean, seriously, having enough money to never have to work again must be such a burden. It really must be such a heavy weight to carry around on your muscular shoulders, as you traipse from one luxury hotel to the next.

If it all gets too much to bear, I know a couple of taxi drivers, making 8 bucks an hour, who might be happy to switch jobs with you. Are you good at getting spew out of car seats?

"Chicken or fish, chicken or fish..? Man, why is choosing dinner so hard?!"

And in the black and white corner we have Orlando Bloom, on the cover of VMAN, doing his bit for the Cancer Council...

Suck that ciggie Orlando, suck it good!... Aahmm, sorry... pardon me... where was I, oh yes- Orlando on the cover of VMAN. Long hair, hippie necklace, no shirt and rollie cigarette- I think I've seen this guy outside Lunar park, fire twirling in the middle of summer.

I reckon Orlando would get on well with Matthew Mcconaughey. They could travel the countryside in a VW Combi, fire twirling and bongo playing- stopping only occasionally for magazine photo shoots and lead roles in bad romantic comedies. Watch out for them at an organics market near you.

No. Thank YOU Helmut Lang

Helmut Lang want's everyone to know-

a) He has celebrity friends.

b) That he is incredibly kind to them.

and

c) That they are all undyingly grateful for his kindness.

As first reported in New York Magazine, Helmut keeps all the letters his celebrity friends send to him. But instead of just keeping them to himself, and occasionally re-reading over a cup of Jarra on a rainy day, he's decided to publish them for the whole world to see. Below are a couple of the notes Helmut generously gave to French magazine Purple, for their latest issue.

Apparently none of the celebrities knew that the letters were going to be published. Brilliant.

(Note to self) drop Helmut Lang as a pen pal. If he release that one about your love for 19th century dolls, you're screwed!

Anna Wintour hates us...

Anna Wintour hates bloggers. According to one of the queen bee's staffers- "They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." However, a source close to Wintour said, "Anna just doesn't want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they're not. It's an improper use of the word." A rep said, "Anna has nothing against blogs."

She's so demanding, but if that's the way she wants it, then who am I to argue? From this moment onwards youwish... will no longer be referred to as a blog. We shall call it a 'a digital infotainment medium'. Has a much better ring to it, don't you think?

Unkle Karl- Pic of the week

Marcus- 'See what you do Karl, is you put your hand to your chin, or lip, and look down. Then you sort of stand there and make a 'mmm' sound. And that's how you think Karl. Not as hard as it looks hey?'

Karl- 'Yes I see. This thinking thing has always intrigued me. I see people do it and I just don't understand why they would waste so much time on it. I mean it's seems like such a futile activity. Growing a silver ponytail, alphabetizing your Chinese fan collection, poking models in the arse with pins- these things I can see a point to- but thinking? When has that got anyone anywhere?'
