The origins of Zoolander

[after he pokes a girl with a pin]
Mugatu
: "Oh, I'm sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get out of my building like now!"

Ben Stiller
first created the character of Derek Zoolander for the 1996 VH1 Fashion Awards. After the wild response he received from the spot, VH1 commissioned him to write a script which then became the successful movie.

Click this link to check out the original sketch he made for the show. It's hilarious!

Magazine Wednesday- Karl shots first lady


According to Women's Wear Daily, Karl Lagerfeld has photographed French first lady Bernadette Chirac for the latest issue of French magazine Paris Match.

"The first lady is photographed wearing a pair of fingerless leather gloves, a nod to a designer who never takes his off. Chirac, who is busy packing up to move out of the Elysée Palace soon — the French will be electing a new President on April 22 — gave a tour of her home to the weekly magazine. Lagerfeld shot Chirac with members of her staff and in the Elysée wine cellar. The 10-page article also includes a spread of photographs Chirac selected herself, which illustrate her 12 years spent at the palace."

Wonder if she also fucked her body guard, bought 70 ipods, and grew a silver ponytail as another 'nod' to Unkle Karl? He'd be totally flattered.

Subscribers make us wet

Well that only happens to Georgie. Such vulgarity is below me. But subscribers certainly put a big smile on my little face. So go on, what have you got to lose? It's a very unobtrusive email that beams into your inbox with updates of our latest pile of posts. Everyone's doing it and we promise not to ever use your email for anything untoward. In fact we don't even get your email. The little people inside my computer do. And they've assured me, they'll keep them very private. So go on, be a friend, you know you want to.

Ugly Betty Vs Dove

Remember the Dove evolution campaign?



Well, Chanel 4 in the UK has done a clever reversal version of the ad for the TV show Ugly Betty.



Another example of why advertising in the UK is probably the best in the world. Love it! Bit over Ugly Betty though. I was so excited for it at the start, now I watch it and it somehow seems a bit lame. I mean, in how many more episodes does she have to win everyone over with her heart of gold before they abandon their superficial ways, and realise they actually like her? Me thinks the story line is getting a little repetitive.

Vintage Kate


She looks so fresh faced!

Way before cocaine and bizarre duets with Pete, Kate sat down with an interviewer and spoke about life as a model.

I love it when she speaks, she's so meak and mild mannered. Oh how I miss the old days.

Paris Launches cheap watch range

Paris Hilton launched a range of self named watches in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday. In collaboration with Parlux, the company that already makes Hilton's fragrance, the watches are as cheap as Paris herself. While Paris proclaimed a love for luxury timepieces from the likes of Rolex and Franck Muller, Hilton said her watches will be more for p-p-poor (I always have trouble saying that word) people, "Not everyone can afford that type of watch," Hilton patronizingly claimed at a news conference before a hired room of European journalists.

The watches will be available in stores this winter, and will retail for a measly $150 to $250!

Even homeless people can afford that!

This one's for Georgie...


Because I value you so much as a friend, I got Britney to send you a video message on my behalf. It makes no friggin sense, which I think is perfect cos, you know, our friendship doesn't much sense either. (See what I did just there? I made a parallel. Pretty clever hey? I should total apply for an internship at Seventeen Magazine. I could write smart shit about young Sudanese refugees dealing with body image issues and the pressure to be thin in the third world. I would total rock as a serious journalist, focusing on in-depth issues, like Barbara Walters or Mary Hart.)

Anyway, hope you like it.

Love Tom
xoxo
