The 71-Year-Old Super Model

She still looks great!

THEATRICS have always been part of a fashion show, but as designers vie for more column inches and web clicks, clothes are sometimes playing a supporting role to headline-grabbing gimmicks.

Karl Lagerfeld’s decision to invite former Chanel house model Ines de la Fressange, 53, to star in the label’s Paris runway show on Wednesday certainly turned heads. Lagerfeld’s show was a sartorial success and he also ticked this year’s big trend of using unconventional models.

Ellen DeGeneres swapped comedy for the catwalk in New York and designer Giles Deacon invited the legendary German model Veruschka, 71, to star at his London Fashion Week show. In Paris a pregnant Miranda Kerr took a spin down Balenciaga’s runway, and at Jean Paul Gaultier the size 28 singer Beth Ditto stole the show.

Not everyone was impressed. by the high jinks. British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman has long been a strong voice in opposition to the use of ultra-thin models and didn’t see Ditto’s appearance as a positive step forward. “Instead of a fuss being made about a few cause celebre exceptions on the catwalk, what I’d really like instead is for more models to be a size 10 rather than a size 8,” she told The Guardian after the Gaultier show.

Investigation On Mile-High Sex Romp

It is always a fantasy……

A “MILE-high” sex romp involving a female Qantas employee and a male passenger is being investigated by the airline.

Sources told the Herald Sun the pair were sitting side by side in business class on a Melbourne-Los Angeles flight on October 6 when passion got the better of them.

The woman, not an air hostess, was travelling to the US on a discounted staff ticket and drank several glasses of champagne before the incident.

The fondling began when the cabin lighting was turned down during the 11-hour trip. Other passengers complained the pair tried to hide the encounter beneath a blanket.

The pair were ordered to desist by the senior flight attendant, then ordered to sit in different sections of the plane.

Qantas would only say: “The matter is being dealt with. The employee has returned to work.”

Facebook’s Co-Founder Eduardo Saverin Is Staying In Singapore

For the past 18 months, it is said.

I haven’t run into him, but have confirmed from at least ten local programmers and angel investors that Eduardo Saverin– the Brazilian-born estranged Facebook co-founder who helped Ben Mezrich write a devastating revenge book of his ouster before taking a settlement and disappearing from the face of the US tech scene– has been hiding out in Singapore for the better part of the last year-and-a-half. I’m told he lives in the penthouse of the tallest building of the city, and is a regular at Singapore’s club hot spots, especially a place called The Butter Factory.

Rolling with the city’s socialites aside, locals say that Saverin is pretty low-key. No one I spoke with had ever heard him refer to himself as the “co-founder” of Facebook. It either goes unsaid or, on one occasion, he told someone who’d never heard of him he was merely a “programmer of Facebook games.” I don’t know how much coding he’s doing, but he’s reportedly using that Facebook settlement money to fund a variety of Facebook game developers from his perch in Singapore– a perch that happens to be just next door to Facebook’s second largest market, Indonesia. He may be hiding out from the limelight and attention, but he’s certainly not trying to get away from Facebook itself.

Creator Of Pokemon, Takeshi Shudo, Passed Away

Rest in peace.

The scribe behind many of the early Pokemon television episodes is no longer with us.

Reports coming out of Japan are saying that Takeshi Shudo, an anime creator and the writer for a significant chunk of the Pokemon franchise, has suddenly passed away. He was rushed to the hospital earlier this week after collapsing at a train station.

The hospital determined that Shudo, 61, suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Though he was given emergency surgery, Shudo wasn’t able to recover and passed away on October 29.

Shudo worked on various anime franchises but was probably best known for the Pokemon series. He was the chief writer for the first few arcs of the Pokemon television show from 1997 to 2002, and also wrote the first three full-length Pokemon films.

Identity Theft On Facebook

Be careful guys.

As a pin-up singer and songwriter with all-girl band The 411, Carolyn Owlett was used to the attention of fans on the internet. But nothing prepared her for finding herself at the centre of a ­cyber nightmare after having her identity stolen.

Earlier this week, the former model and pop star, whose band had two Top Five singles in 2004, was at work in her Mayfair office when a stranger turned up ­professing his undying love for her, while expressing his conviction that she was also in love with him.

What made the experience so sinister for 26-year-old Carolyn was that her visitor, a Belgian, knew so much about her.

It soon became clear that, like motor-racing legend Sir Stirling Moss, she had been targeted by a cyber fraudster.

‘I threatened to call the police as I had no idea who the guy was. We had never met,’ ­Carolyn tells me.

‘He was utterly shocked, and explained that for 17 months he’d been ­having an ­internet romance with a woman he’d been convinced was me.

‘After we spoke a while, he ­realised the relationship he thought he’d been having was completely false.

‘We eventually worked out that a Belgian woman had created a Facebook account under my name, stacking it full of photographs stolen from my ­personal account.

‘It also involved texts, Skype [the online phone service] and emails. She had been conducting a virtual romance with this man.

‘She had stolen hundreds of ­Facebook pictures of me and put them on her own Facebook page.’

Carolyn was especially horrified to discover the woman had taken photographs of her three-year-old son. ‘She was claiming my child was, in fact, her little boy,’ says ­ ­single mother Carolyn, who is now a radio and TV producer.
She later discovered the woman — using her real name of Kristella — had badgered 25 of Carolyn’s friends to be her Facebook ‘friends’.

Adds ­Carolyn: ‘The Belgian guy was devastated. He sent me 2,000 pictures the woman had on her site of me and my friends. I feel sorry for him. He’s nice and quite good-looking, but has been living a lie.’

Since unravelling the scam, ­Carolyn has dyed her hair, while her stalker has vanished

Hungry Bear Forced To Eat Human Corpses

This is so sad.

A shortage of bears’ traditional food near the Arctic Circle has forced the animals to eat human corpses, say locals

From a distance it resembled a rather large man in a fur coat, leaning tenderly over the grave of a loved one. But when the two women in the Russian village of Vezhnya Tchova came closer they realised there was a bear in the cemetery eating a body.

Russian bears have grown so desperate after a scorching summer they have started digging up and eating corpses in municipal cemetries, alarmed officials said today. Bears’ traditional food – mushrooms, berries and the odd frog – has disappeared, they added.

The Vezhnya Tchova incident took place on Saturday in the northern republic of Komi, near the Arctic Circle. The shocked women cried in panic, frightening the bear back into the woods, before they discovered a ghoulish scene with the clothes of the bear’s already-dead victim chucked over adjacent tombstones, the Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomelets reported.

Karate Instructor Robs And Kills Wealthy Couple, As Ninja

Ninja, why?

A karate instructor is facing the death penalty for masterminding a ‘ninja group’ double killing of a wealthy couple in July 2009.

Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr, 36, is charged with organising the break-in and entry at Byrd and Melanie Billings’ house near Pensacola, Florida, and their killing, which was done as the couple’s nine young disabled children cowered or slept nearby.

The group, dressed in black ninja outfits, peppered the bedroom with bullets, shooting the couple in the face and head during a botched attempt to steal a cash-filled safe.

Investigators have said Mr Gonzalez required his alleged partners-in-crime to dress in the clothing for the attack.

Six co-defendants at the trial, which begins today, have been charged with first-degree murder.

Several could testify against Mr Gonzalez and name him as the man who fatally shot Mr Billings, who owned a company that financed used-car purchases.

Two of Mr Gonzalez’s co-defendants are scheduled to testify against him, prosecutor Bill Eddins revealed.

But none of the young children, who were unharmed in the attack, are expected to testify about what they saw in their home that night, said Mr Eddins.

Mommy Shaked Baby To Death

Tragedy.

A Jacksonville mother charged with shaking her baby to death has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Alexandra V. Tobias, 22, was arrested after the January death of 3-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson. She told investigators she became angry because the baby was crying while she was playing a computer game called FarmVille on the Facebook social-networking website.

Update: More information has been released for this story.

Tobias entered her plea Wednesday before Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud. A second-degree murder charge is punishable by up to life in prison.

Prosecutor Richard Mantei said Tobias’ sentence could be less because of state guidelines that call for 25 to 50 years. Soud offered no promises on what he’ll order during a sentencing hearing scheduled for December.

Outside the courtroom, Mantei said Tobias’ plea will help avoid the family reliving the tragedy during a jury trial.

Tobias told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again. She said the baby may have hit his head during the shaking.
