Supermodel Kate Moss just landed another lucrative endorsement this time as the new face of lingerie maker Agent Provocateur.
The label's owner, Vivienne Westwood's son Joe Corre, told the Daily Mirror:
"Watch out for something in September that is huge – but top secret for now."
Moss's income is thought to have increased almost three fold from about 15 million dollars before her cocaine scandal last year to somewhere around 40 million dollars today. Some of her recent contracts include Virgin Mobile, Roberto Cavalli, Calvin Klein, Rimmel, and Nikon.

Ashlee Simpson scores with Victoria's Secret but does Victoria's Secret score with Ashlee Simpson?
With some of the most beautiful women in the world to choose from it is a bit hard to believe that Victoria Secrets would settle on Simpson. Jessica Simpson's younger sister has reportedly signed up to become a Victoria 's Secret model and the face of a new collection called Pink aimed at younger women.
Victoria 's Secret models in the past have included Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Adrianna Lima, Petra Nemcova, Ana Beatriz Barros, Claudia Schiffer, Carmen Kass, Laetitia Casta,Karolina Kurkova, Stephanie Seymour,
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos,
Elle Macpherson, and Tyra Banks.
When Victoria Beckham showed up at the World Cup with a new $2,700 hairdo and six pounds off her already impossibly thin frame people were concerned for her wellbeing.
Now British celebrity gossip Grazia Magazine has printed an actual real life photo of the derriere of her new David Bitton size 23 inch jeans. That makes her waste the size of most women's thighs.

Pharrell Williams should have stayed home and never gone to the Milan Men's shows.
The popular Hip Hop and R&B star was all but officially confirmed to be signed as the face of the new autumn campaign for Louis Vuitton. However in the Italian fashion capital he began to demonstrate some unacceptable homophobic behavior. In one incident reported in the NY Post he attempted to get a group of gay men, which included Elton John's husband David Furnish and Burberry designer Christopher Bailey removed from the VIP lounge at a GQ magazine party, telling them there was "too much sausage" in the room".
He picked the wrong guys to mess with. A "fag-wa" has been issued against him and now Louis Vuitton is believed to be rethinking their offer.
A recent study released by The Telephia Mobile Game Report found that 65 percent of mobile game revenue is due to female wireless subscribers who comprise 72 percent of the total share of revenue.
Men made up 28 percent. The top three games were Tetris, Tetris Deluxe and Bejeweled. "The casual nature of mobile games provides tremendous appeal to women, who are not traditionally hardcore gamers by console or online gaming standards. The wireless industry has presented a hungry target audience willing to pay premium access to games through their cell phones”, a Telephia spokesperson explained.

2006 marks the 60 th anniversary of the bikini. The infamous two piece swim suit was considered scandalous when it was introduced in 1946.
It was so explosive that it was named after the Island of Bikini where the first atomic bomb was tested.
French designer Louis Reard could not get any models to wear it and had to hire an exotic dancer. Three weeks earlier another French designer, Jacques Heim, introduced a two piece swim suit that he called The Atome.
Heim received the official credit in the history books but Reard's name stuck.
