Britney Spears - visit to hospital a decoy?

Posted by v on February 1, 2008

For anyone not familiar with the term ” Trojan horse” not the condom, read up. I promise I will not talk about Ms. Britney again, but the spectacle of all the police cars and escorts taking her to the hospital was a bit much. Ever so cynical, I wondered if she was truly inside any of those cars. Do you think this was just a ploy to divert the paparazzi away from her? I hope so.

Eva Mendes - new face of Calvin Klein

Posted by v on February 1, 2008

We’ve been looking at Eva [at Coty] for awhile, not just for Calvin,” Walsh told WWD Thursday. “Her awareness and likability have been on the rise since 2003 — she consistently generates a very positive response. Both men and women find her incredibly attractive, fit and sexy. And because her awareness is growing worldwide, we are planning this fragrance as a global launch.”
Eva exudes an effortless and unpretentious sensuality, which is perfectly in line with the Calvin Klein brand DNA,” he stated.

The campaign will include TV and print components, as well as an online component. Print ads are expected in October fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazines; TV dates have not yet been confirmed. Walsh said Mendes will also do personal appearances globally for the new fragrance.

As for her day job — acting — Mendes is in post-production with “The Women,” which also stars Jada Pinkett Smith, Meg Ryan, Carrie Fisher and Annette Bening. The film is slated for a fall release. She has also completed “The Spirit,” a fantasy-thriller due out in early 2009.

Don’t know about you, but that dress is butt-ugly.
