German supermodel Heidi Klum is the new face of McDonald’s chicken wraps.
The 34-year-old supermodel, actress, TV presenter, fashion designer, television producer and hostess of Project Runway and Germany’s Next Top Model was seen in Munich yesterday advertising McDonald’s chicken wraps and… well, that just about wraps it up.
The mother of three was looking gorgeous as usual, in a matching jacket and pants suit well complemented by a striped white shirt and an easy-on-the-eyes hairdo.
The point here is, how often do you see a Victoria’s Secret model indulging in Big Mac, fries and soda?

Not surprised. Are you? Sharon Stone might have tried to pull back her controversial remarks on the Sichuan earthquake, but that was quite not enough for Dior China to pull off her Dior campaigns.
Dior China said this morning that it’s taking off and recalling all advertisements featuring Stone. Reports say that citizens were ripping down billboards in several locations.
So what was it that Stone said that is causing an uproar in the fashion world? Apparently, it was just this: “I’ve been concerned with how we should deal with the Olympics, because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine.
“And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened and I though, is that karma – when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”
Hmmm… that’s pretty strong, I think. Kinda stuck-up, in the typical basic instinct style, if you know what I mean.
No one has a right to be judgmental about Nature. I don’t think we can, or the right to, decide Nature. She decides us.
And if, and when, a time does arrive when we dictate Nature… I just don’t want to be there.

Miami rapping sensation Trina backs up her #1 Billboard Rap Album of 2008 ‘Still The Baddest’ with her very own Pink Diamond Couture clothing collection.
“I have always imagined a clothing line that was high quality that I could offer to my fans,” said the 29-year-old rapper. “I love the way the jeans fit and feel. I spent a lot of time creating special details that are fresh and unique. The best part is they look really expensive but are priced right.”
The clothing line will consist of jeans, tops, T-shirts, velour sets and jackets, all of which are emblazoned with Trina’s signature logo. She’s even adds a personal touch to her collection with a tattoo that is typically Trina’s.
The Pink Diamond Couture collection will hit retail stores across the US this spring. Check out shoptrina.com for a store near you.

British actress Gemma Arteron, who plays Agent Fields in the Bond 22 movie “Quantum of Solace”, has been chosen by Avon to launch the new James Bond Franchise signature fragrance ‘Bond Girl 007′.
Anticipated as what will be the biggest global fragrance launch of the year, Bond Girl 007 is created by Firmenich and contains floral notes, warm woods, white peach, orange blossom,jasmine, calypso orchid and freesia.
While “Quantum of Solace” is scheduled for a November 2008, ‘Bond Girl 007′ is thoughtfully set up to hit the retailers a month earlier.
So what does the new 22-year-old Bond babe have to say about this signature perfume?
“I’m thrilled to be working with two such iconic and established brands,” said Gemma Arterton. “The Bond Girl 007 fragrance embodies everything a Bond Girl represents — intelligence, sexiness and confidence.”
Intelligence, sexiness and confidence, huh. Explosive combo there.
Okay, here’s what I think about the name of the perfume. Bond Girl 007. So which kind of girl–or woman–are Avon targeting? I’d eat airline food to find out what they found in their survey. Would the typical customer would be the wanna-be Bond girl yet in her teens or the blissfully married 30’s woman, who’s looking back and wondering what she might have missed out?
What do you think? I’d love to know, so would all my readers.

Carmen Electra is set to have her own line of home stripper poles designed to help women “get in the best shape of their life.”
The former Baywatch babe, now 36, expressed her thrill about her exercise product to FOX News: “I am so excited to have a new pole coming out, a portable stripper pole. The great thing about my portable pole is you can put it in your own living room or you can do the workout in your bedroom. No one has to see you do it. It’s up to you — you can perform for your husband or boyfriend, or do it more as a workout and focus on that.”
The stripper pole is said to be basically a raunchy exercise regime, which will “also have women embracing their female prowess.”
