21 year-old Scarlett Johansson was named the “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire Magazine. It is a refreshing choice.
Johansson is seen as the thinking man's sexpot. She comes across as genuine and intelligent using her intellect and talent to further her career rather than just relying on her stunning beauty.
Her recent film credits include The Black Dahlia, Lost in Translation and Match Point. She is also featured in an L'Oreal multimedia ad campaign and recently signed a deal to help design workout clothes for Reebok.
Although the critics seem to love Johansson her recent films have all been box office flops. She is currently in production on a period piece about King Henry VIII, in which she plays Mary Queen of Scots alongside Natalie Portman.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell was ordered to be arrested by a New York City judge for failing to appear in court concerning charges that she attacked her housekeeper.
However the judge retracted the bench warrant after consulting with her lawyer but warned if she did not appear for her next court date scheduled for November 15th he will order her into custody immediately.

Luxury retailers Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior Couture are suing eBay in separate actions that add up to $50 million dollars over allegations that the online auction is promoting counterfeiting by allowing bogus goods to be sold on the site.
This is not the first such lawsuit. Tiffany has already successfully sued eBay in the past. eBay currently requires sellers to verify that their products are legitimate but with so many transactions it is impossible to enforce. Its current policy places the obligation on brand owners rather than the auction site itself.

LVMH has already successfully sued Google for similar allegations and was awarded 600,000 dollars.

Most people are saying it is just a matter of time before Kate Moss and Pete Doherty are married. For better or for worse the pair appear to be inseparable and spend most of their time together.
Doherty reportedly successfully completed drug rehab. The British supermodel recently accompanied Doherty and his band Babyshambles on a tour of Ireland and even appeared on stage to sing a duet with him. The only legal fallout so far is possible charges for smoking on stage during a concert.

Sienna Miller was able to elegantly manage an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction with ease and style.
While attending the opening of Madame Butterfly at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, her full length gown designed by British designer Marchesa, was ripped after another guest stepped on it resulting in a gapping hole down the front.
Miller, who was accompanied by her mother and Jude Law, simply gathered up the damaged part of the dress in her hand and mingled with the other guests that included Naomi Watt, Meg Ryan, Zac Posen, Liv Tyler, Salman Rushdie and his former model wife Padma Lakshm.

Eleven years after graduating from fashion school Stella McCartney seems ready to turn a profit for the very first time. According to company officials Stella McCartney Inc. will reach its financial objectives by next year.
After several years as head designer for Chloe and the last five out on her, McCartney gained much recognition for her talents but financial success always managed to elude her. Last year sales doubled after she produced successful collections for Adidas and H &M as a guest designer and introduced high-end jewelry, eyewear, accessories and a fragrance under her own name.

With the skinny model debate still very much in the news here are some body size statistics to consider.
The average model is 5'10, weights 120 pounds and wears a size 2-4. The average American woman is 5'4”, weights 162 pounds and wears a size 14.
It is clear from these statistics that models are a breed apart from the everyday woman. However there are a number of women who naturally fall into the model category without having to starve themselves. But unfortunately there are those that don't and resort to desperate weight control measures putting both their physical and mental health at a significant risk.
