A picture can tell a thousand words — especially those ‘behind the scenes’. Like the one here, a ‘first look’ of the much-hyped Lily Allen-Chanel campaign posted on Chanel’s website, and Lily certainly looks ‘fun’ — the very reason Karl Lagerfeld chose her for this job.
Well, what the pic tells me is that the campaign will be a mix of traditional and modernistic, given the fake diamond-encrusted tiara and Lily’s boy cut. And Allen’s smile would take the center stage, undeniably. And Lagerfeld, even though you can’t see his face, appears to be deeply engrossed measuring up his ‘fun’ model.
While every other self-respectin’ celebrity blogger is blogging Allen’s ‘first look’, she has to go and create a controversy by sending a topless picture of herself to Kaiser Chiefs’ frontman Ricky Wilson.
Apparently, it was a mistake — the British singer was just fiddling with her cell phone, and the picture ‘got sent’.
Well, then, who hasn’t seen Lily Allen topless pictures? If you’re interested, I might have a couple in my old bag… but it’s not Chanel.

Salt star Angelina Jolie hasn’t lost one bit of her dynamism from her Lara Croft days — she’s just proven that by being just what Armani was looking for to pitch its new scent — “the most dynamic female star in the world.”
That’s right, as an insider tells us, ““For this fragrance push, they needed a true A-lister, and Angelina is the biggest, most dynamic female star in the world.”
The celebrity-source reveals in the July 6 issue of Life & Style, ““Armani rolled up the Brink’s truck for Angelina, because frankly, she’s worth it.”
While there can be no doubt Jolie is A-list stuff, classy and stylish, will the Armani perfume live up to her? Guess we’ll just to wait and see until the scent hits the retailers later this year.
Until then, enjoy some pictures of Angelina Jolie at her best:

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli will be the new face of hair care firm Garnier Fructis, for a new line it’s introducing by the end of this month.
Refali will represent the Triple Nutrition hair care and Anti-Humidity hairspray collections in her role as the new spokesperson.
“I like Garnier and have been using their products for several years,” Refaeli, 24, said.
“Their products and ingredients fit my lifestyle perfectly - helping me keep my hair strong, healthy and shiny. It’s such an honor to be the spokesmodel for Garnier Fructis’ new launches,” she added.
The sentiment was reflected equally warmly by Maybelline New York/Garnier president David Greenberg, who said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with such a beautiful woman inside and out. Not only does Bar Refaeli have beautiful hair that’s in line with what the Garnier Fructis products represent, but she embodies Garnier’s overall focus on healthy beauty and a positive mindset.”
The gorgeous, breath-taking, stunning, dazzling, striking beauty has been hitting headlines lately — gracing fashion magazine covers as well as representing several other top brands, including Reebok.
In case you missed her latest cover photos, here are some to help you catch up with this speeding seductress:

Australian-born, New York-based hottest rising star on the celebrity brand modeling horizon, Jessica Hart has moved on from being a cover girl for glossies — she’s just been named the face of US lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret and Australian swimwear company Seafolly.
Though Hart’s modeling career closely follows that of her Australian counterpart Miranda Kerr, she’s getting to be known down under just now. Hart, 23, recently did Seafolly’s photo shoot for its international campaign on a private island off the coast of Cairns in Queensland, Australia.
(Recall then 19-year-old Catherine McNeil was modeling Seafolly beach and swimwear just under a year ago?)
I can’t wait to the photos, but then word has it that Victoria’s Secret is toning down the sexy aspect of lingerie ads… but I figure with Jessica in front of the camera, that could be a hard thing to do.
Hart has also talked about launching her own designs. “I’m also in talks with people to design my own line of clothes in collaboration with a charity, but I can’t say much on that right now,” she said.
Obviously she’s expanding her resume, so she’s the one to watch out for, as these pictures from Sports Illustrated’s 2009 Swimsuit Issue prove beyond any doubt:

Wanna team up with KFC’s Colonel Harland Sanders? Here’s how — Kentucky Grilled Chicken is looking for a new face to promote its new grilled recipe, and to promote it, KFC has joined forces with MySpace to discover who in the wide world is the ultimate KFC Grilled Chicken (KGC) fan.
To get to pose alongside the colonel, all you got to do is submit a video that shows why you think you’re the greatest KGC fan at myspace.com/unthinkfc. Besides the honor of posing for KFC, you also get a lifetime supply of grilled chicken (estimated value: $13,000 in gift checks).
“For decades, our founder Colonel Sanders has been the face of our world famous fried chicken,” said Javier Benito, executive vice president of marketing and food innovation for KFC.
“With the launch of our second secret recipe, we’re encouraging all chicken lovers, grilled and fried, to showcase why they are the ultimate KGC fan and should be the new face of Kentucky Grilled Chicken.”
The finalists will be announced on July 25, and the world will start voting on the brand’s new KGC ambassador on August 1.
Give it a shot, guys. Don’t be… ahem, chicken!
