GRACE BURNS WON THE GENETIC LOTTERY

Some people are born lucky because they got the right parents. Supermodel Christy Turlington and actor Ed Burns are not likely to have an unattractive kid. To no one’s surprise, their 18 year old daughter Grace Burns has already appeared on a magazine cover (POP magazine) and has an exciting modeling career ahead of her, like a lot of supermodel daughters. Hopefully she will choose to finish her education before she hits Paris Fashion Week…

RIHANNA IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT

Uh -oh. We were afraid this might happen. It looks like Rihanna’scelebration of pregnancy” look has caught on. When Rihanna was expecting she started wearing VERY skimpy outfits that exposed and played up her expanding midsection. Many times the get-ups were TOO skimpy and in questionable taste- especially for occasions like elegant restaurants. This IS a red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, but Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima sorely lacks elegance and looks more like a belly dancer than a supermodel here. Using Rihanna as a role model is not always a good idea. This look will be hard to forget…

BELLA HADID KNOWS HOW NOT TO BE NOTICED

Here’s a VERY ORDINARY looking New York couple enjoying Central Park on an almost Spring day. Nobody paid them any attention, and that’s the way they like it. Supermodel Bella Hadid and her undercover boyfriend, art director Marc Kalman, have been together for two years pretty much in plain sight, but without fanfare. When she dated The Weeknd they rarely had a fleeting moment to themselves. But Bella has learned how to minimize her beauty (even without a mask) and not draw attention to herself and her 8 years older boyfriend so they can get around unmolested. They met while working on a fashion project and have been seen together in Paris and New York – friends think she’s quite fond of him.

CLAUDIA SCHIFFER’S HUSBAND IS SENSITIVE ABOUT HEIGHT

We’ve seen a lot of 90’s Supermodels making comebacks – but what happened to Claudia Schiffer? The Bardot lookalike model dated, of all people, magician David Copperfield for most of the 90’s (he sometimes had her assist in his act,) and when they finally broke up in 1999, she dropped out of sight. Actually she left David for British producer/director Matthew Vaughn. He established himself producing Guy Ritchie’s early successful films and went on to do X-Men and Kingsman movies. Vaughn and Claudia married in 2002 and what’s strange is: he never cast her in films or made her a star! Isn’t that why aspiring actresses marry producers? Obviously they were in love, and had three kids. She made a rare appearance at the premier of his new film The Kings Man and we had to laugh at how short she makes him look. Claudia is 5’11” and wearing flats – Matthew CLAIMS to be 6’ tall but this photo is a dead giveaway…

JIM PARSONS AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM

What would Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper think if he saw this portrait of his namesake Jim Parsons taken after the show wrapped? Parsons, clad in a blue leather suit, is looking every inch a supermodel in this lush photo from a publication called Iris Covet Book – a magazine promoting fashion, beauty, and Lifestyle. Who would have guessed?

TWIGGY QUIT MODELING, BUT NEVER STOPPED WORKING

Janice Dickinson is fond of bragging that she was the “first Supermodel,” but in actuality the first supermodels were probably Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy (above) in the 60’s. Twiggy was only 16 when she became world famous for her pixie haircut and super slim androgynous looks. In 1970 she quit modeling and turned to acting in movies and TV. Now 69, she’s still very involved in the beauty business and works with Marks & Spencer on fashion collections for women her age.

CLAUDIA SCHIFFER STILL HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR GUESS JEANS

Nice to see one of our favorite 90’s Supermodels still looking super! Claudia Schiffer’s sexy ads put Guess jeans on the map back in 1989 – and she says they put HER on the map too. We remember seeing her on billboards EVERYWHERE. She did a total of six ad campaigns for the company and her career took off from there. She married X-Men writer Matthew Vaughn fifteen years ago and they have three children, but the German-born model is still as beautiful as ever.

NAOMI CAMPBELL: THERE’S A NEW DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD

Naomi Campbell, 46, one of the most famous Supermodels of all time, is getting serious about acting. She was engaged to a Russian billionaire for five years but that relationship ended – to no one’s surprise. Naomi is famous for her tantrums and has in fact been charged with assault FOUR times (heaven help those cowering assistants!) She’s had a very colorful romantic life but never married, so she’s taking on Hollywood. Lee Daniels cast her in his new Fox series Star– and get this- Naomi plays a MOM! Her character is a wealthy socialite married to Lenny Kravitz, and mother to a 19 year old daughter who’s in a Destiny’s Child type girl group. Life goes on…

MODEL ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO: TOO MANY CYCLE CLASSES?

We never imagined we’d think a model looked TOO thin, but this photo of Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio makes us wonder how she can look so sexy in that lingerie. Just walking down the street, you’d never guess the Brazilian model was one of the highest paid supermodels in the world, and considered one of the sexiest women alive. Appropriately, she was photographed leaving a cycle class in Brentwood.

KATE MOSS ISN’T EXACTLY OVER THE HILL

Supermodel Kate Moss looks mighty fine on the cover of Playboy’s 60th Anniversary edition coming out in January. One thing irks us, however, and that is the big and unnecessary fuss over Kate’s age. It seems like everyone writing about her cover is amazed by the fact that she turns 40 in January. What’s the big deal about her age? Aren’t we past that? Would someone 20 really look any better on the cover than she does? Give a girl a break…
