    Levine's ex not dating Jared Leto

    A representative for model Anne Vyalitsyna has dismissed reports she's dating Jared Leto following her split from Adam Levine.

    The Maroon 5 star separated from the Sports Illustrated beauty earlier this year and reporters at In Touch magazine claimed this week that the Russian stunner had moved on with the 30 Seconds To Mars frontman.

    But Vyalitsyna's rep has brushed off the rumours, telling GossipCop.com there is "absolutely no truth" to the dating story.

    She Needs Space

    Before she was a Sports Illustrated bikini beauty, Kate Upton, 19, spent her Florida youth hanging at the Kennedy Space Center. “I knew my way around there better than I knew my way around my school!” Upton tells The Daily Dan, a Hamptons glossy launched by Dan’s Papers and The Daily Front Row. When asked if she ever wanted to be an astronaut, Upton quipped, “No, I was there for the dried food.” Photographer Gilles Bensimon shot the cover story, out tomorrow.

    Heidi Klum Debuts Racy Music Video

    (Video) If Heidi Klum is trying to make Seal jealous in the wake of their split, she's doing a bang-up job.

    First, she posed nude in Allure's May issue. Now, the newly single supermodel has debuted a rather risqué music video for Hunger Magazine in which she also leaves little to the imagination.

    Klum, 38, gyrates on a poll while wearing a leather harness in the video for "Turn Up The Night." (Klum's foray into music videos is a one-off, reports the U.K.'s Telegraph).

    And if the wardrobe weren't racy enough, her lyrics underscore the sexiness. Among them: "I'm begging on my knees just take me."

    Your move, Seal.

    Gisele Bundchen pregnant: report

    Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady may be expecting their second child, reports say.

    According to the Brazilian magazine Época, Bundchen confided to Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, who made her dress for the Met Costume Gala earlier this month, that she is pregnant. The magazine claims that Bundchen is about two months along, and has also revealed the news to several close friends.

    Bundchen and Brady, who married in 2009, have a 2-year-old son, Benjamin. Bundchen is also a stepmom to Brady's 4-year-old son with ex Bridget Moynihan.

    While Bundchen showed off her trim figure in a navy blue bikini top and lace shirt earlier this month at a store opening in Brazil, the model has said in the past that she hopes to have many more children.

    "I want to have a big family," she told Harper's Bazaar in 2009. "I love kids."

    Bundchen's rep, however, denied reports that Bundchen is currently pregnant to the Daily Mail this morning.

    Bar Refaeli Makes an Airline Pilot's Day

    (Photo) Bar Refaeli has gotten plenty of attention from her very sexy Maxim photos – a trend that's unlikely to end any time soon.

    The magazine's Hot 100 list topper Tweeted a photo on Monday of herself with one of her many fans.

    "On my way to LA. Had to chat with the pilots ..." the model (and Leonardo DiCaprio's ex, 25, Tweeted with the picture, in which she sports a baggy sweatshirt, and a much more natural, little-to-no makeup look.

    Guess supermodels can't go incognito no matter what they're wearing!

    Doherty: Drunk Kate Moss calls me

    Pete Doherty still receives drunken phone calls from his married ex-girlfriend Kate Moss, five years after they split up.

    Doherty and Moss shared a turbulent two-year relationship after meeting in 2005, and the British supermodel went on to find love with The Kills rocker Jamie Hince, marrying him last year.

    However, the former Libertines star insists he still receives "silly" drunk calls from his ex.

    Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival in France, he tells Britain's The Mirror, "She was just a girl that I met that I really, really liked. The reason that it didn't work was because of all the other things. It really annoyed me that people in my life couldn't accept it in their heads that I was with her. People in her life didn't want her to have anything to do with me. Every time we'd have an argument she'd say 'All my friends are right about you'.

    "I think 'You know what, in a different world maybe we could...' It's sad. But it's the same thing. It's all in her court. She wants to get drunk and call me and talk s**t, that's fine but I wouldn't be able to do that to her. Anyway, she's married. I've listened to her (on voicemail), a couple of times she's got drunk and called me and been a bit silly. But she's a happily married woman, why does she want to speak to me? Maybe she's still in love with me... No, she's not. She hates my guts anyway."

    Model Naomi Campbell in Holy Land for birthday

    Supermodel Naomi Campbell celebrated her 42nd birthday on Tuesday with a trip to the birthplace of Jesus, wishing for "good vibrations, not destruction" in the troubled Middle East.

    Campbell, wearing a white shirt and black sunglasses, was flanked by Palestinian guards and her own private security detail as she toured the biblical town of Bethlehem.

    She lit candles in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, said Palestinian security officials. The church is built on the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born.

    The West Bank town is controlled by the Palestinian Authority. Israel has built a high concrete wall around most of the town to keep Palestinian militants, including suicide bombers, out of nearby Jerusalem.

    "As much traveling as I've done, I've never come here," Campbell told a Palestinian television station. The supermodel said she hoped for peace. "I'm happy to be here. Weapons and war, greed and oil ... I hope it all stops. I care about health, about good vibrations, not destruction," she told the station.

    Some of Campbell's security guards wore black-and-white checkered Palestinian scarves, resembling tourists.

    Later, Campbell celebrated her birthday at the nearby Casa Nova Palace Restaurant. Her group ate a traditional Palestinian meal of lamb and rice inside the restaurant, said an employee. She requested anonymity because Palestinian officials threatened to punish people speaking to reporters.

    Outside, a small, shaggy black dog whom the employees called "shekel," the name of Israel's currency, barked at mustachioed plainclothes Palestinian security officials sitting at tables.

    After the meal, her entourage sped away in a line of black sedans.

    Campbell also visited the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, the holiest place where Jews can pray, a retaining wall of the compound where the Jewish biblical temples stood 2,000 years ago.

    Campbell's visit to Bethlehem initially sparked rumors that she was going to marry her longtime boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, because she left her Jerusalem hotel wearing a white dress.

    Campbell's publicist did not respond to requests for comment. Doronin's firm, Capital Group, could not be reached.

    Bar raised by Maxim

    Bar Refaeli has topped the 2012 Maxim Hot 100 list.

    For the first time in the magazine's history, readers were allowed to vote for the hotties and there was overwhelming support for the Israeli stunner.

    Thrilled Refaeli says, "Every year, it's a different girl that I look up to. For me to be among them, it's an honour."

    The single model is hoping the honour will help her find a mate she can settle down with and start a family, adding, "I'm looking for a friend that will make me laugh, that will teach me every day - that I can learn from, and that has the same values as me. It sounds very simple but it's very hard to find."

    Also making the top 10: Mila Kunis, Katy Perry, Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Megan Fox, Malin Akerman and Adrianne Palicki.

    Janice Dickinson Evicted -- America's Next Top Evictee

    Janice Dickinson -- the self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" -- is getting her bony ass evicted from her L.A. home ... TMZ has learned.

    The 57-year-old reality TV star is being sued by her landlords ... who claim Janice stiffed 'em out of 3 months of payments for a 3,000 square foot home she's renting in West Los Angeles.

    And at $5,900-a-month ... it definitely adds up -- totaling $17,700.

    In the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the landlords also claim they gave Janice a 3-day notice to pay up or get out on May 7th -- but she failed to do either.

    Now, the landlords are begging a judge to step in ... so they can get Janice out of the home ALONG WITH the money she owes.

    So far, no comment from Janice.

    Decker doubles up at box office

    Model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker will be doing battle with herself at the U.S. box office this coming weekend - her latest films are released on the same day.

    The sexy star, who is married to tennis ace Andy Roddick, had no idea Battleship and What to Expect When You're Expecting would hit the big screen on the same day - and she's telling all her friends to cancel their plans on Friday night.

    She says, "We shot them a year apart. I did Battleship first... I'm telling all my friends to go and see them both on the same day... It's very exciting."

    Decker admits the two films couldn't be more different: "One, I'm this, like, Southern, sort of, country pregnant woman with twins, and then the other one is full of aliens and action and all sorts of fun."

    Paris Hilton Gets New Job, Follows in Jennifer Lopez's Footsteps

    Paris Hilton has a new job!

    And it's not just about looking pretty on a red carpet.

    She's also going to be following in Jennifer Lopez's musical footsteps—literally!

    What's the hotel heiress up to? Read on for all the deets.

    While it's been reported that Hilton is heading to next month's Pop Music Festival in Brazil to perform a new single, "After Midnight," I'm told that's not exactly correct.

    Hilton, 31, confirms that she will be in Brazil to make her professional DJ debut in front of 30,000 people in São Paulo. The one-hour set featuring her own remixes will immediately follow performances by Kelly Clarkson and Lopez on June 23.

    "Electronic music is a huge passion of mine and I'm finally letting the world experience it with me," Hilton says. "I have been working in the studio for a long time and ready to take deejaying to the next level. I chose Brazil for my debut because it is the country of music and dancing."

    She hopes to spin at nightclubs worldwide. "I want everyone to fall in love with the beats like I have," Hilton says.

    But it's not like she's giving up singing: Hilton is still working on a releasing a second album.

    Tyra Banks Applauds Vogue's Efforts to Help Young Women, But Is It Really Enough?

    Tyra Banks is toasting Vogue's 19 international editions for pledging to promote healthy body image, but while the plan is a step in the right direction, what does it really mean for the future?

    "Real progress is finally on the horizon," Banks writes in an open letter on The Daily Beast. "Vogue is stepping up, doing the right thing, and protecting that girl. Perhaps that girl is you!"

    Earlier this month, Conde Nast, which owns Vogue, announced a six-point plan for what they'll require beginning with their June editions. "Vogue editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the well-being of their readers," international chairman Jonathan Newhouse said, according to the New York Times.

    The bullet points are outlined as follows:
    1. We will not knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have an eating disorder. We will work with models who, in our view, are healthy and help to promote a healthy body image.
    2. We will ask agents not to knowingly send us underage girls and casting directors to check IDs when casting shoots, shows and campaigns.
    3. We will help to structure mentoring programs where more mature models are able to give advice and guidance to younger girls, and we will help to raise industry-wide awareness through education, as has been integral to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Health Initiative.
    4. We will encourage producers to create healthy backstage working conditions, including healthy food options and a respect for privacy. We will encourage casting agents not to keep models unreasonably late.
    5. We encourage designers to consider the consequences of unrealistically small sample sizes of their clothing, which limits the range of women who can be photographed in their clothes, and encourages the use of extremely thin models.
    6. We will be ambassadors for the message of healthy body image.

    But is there really any way for Vogue to actually enforce these rules when "appearing" to have an eating disorder is completely subjective? Why not include a minimum weight or body-mass index that could more scientifically reflect one's health. And like Banks suggests, perhaps there should be a guild that protects models. "When I went to Paris after graduating high school, I saw a model who was 12 years old without any supervision. That wouldn't happen in the acting world," Banks writes. "There needs to be more industry-wide protections for models, and we need to be more consistent with what the acting world does: protect our minors, as well as the health and well-being of models."

    Although body image in magazines has always been a hot topic, an increasing amount of people are championing a change. Earlier this month, 14-year-old Julia Bluhm made headlines after she protested outside of Seventeen magazine's New York City offices to get more "real girls" on their pages. She also started an online petition that received over 41,000 signatures.

    We certainly applaud Banks for continually being a champion of all body types and Vogue for making small steps in the right direction, but we hope these are just the stepping stones for policy that will actually make a significant change.

    What do you think about Vogue's plan?

    Penn & Petra an item again

    Sean Penn and former flame Petra Nemcova seem to have officially rekindled their romance after being spotted together on a series of dates, sources tell Page Six.

    They were spotted together at Thursday night’s star-packed birthday bash for U2 front man Bono at The Spotted Pig in the West Village.

    Sources say Penn and Nemcova were “very much” together at the party, where guests included Anna Wintour, Graydon Carter, Ed Burns and Christy Turlington-Burns, Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower, Jay-Z, Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky.

    We reported last month that Penn and Nemcova, who were first linked in 2008 during Oscar season, had been spotted cozying up to one another at Lexington Bar and Books during a night out.

    Their reunion happened weeks after Nemcova called off her wedding to Jamie Belman, whom the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model dated for eight months before getting engaged in January.

    In April, a source told us that Nemcova was “all over Penn” while they had dinner, and the two left the restaurant together.

    On Thursday, Penn and Nemcova seemed to be trying to keep a lower profile. Onlookers told us that the couple were not overly affectionate, but they were definitely together. A rep for The Spotted Pig had no comment.

    Meanwhile, attendees at Bono’s birthday party told us that the highlight of the event was when Bono sang a love song to his wife, Ali Hewson, with a traditional Irish band.

    DJ Ani Quinn spun tunes for the crowd, while Julian Schnabel, Naomi Campbell and Vladimir Doronin, looked on as Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson and her friends danced as the party going on until 4 a.m., said onlookers.

    Eve co-starred with Penn in the indie movie “This Must Be the Place,” which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Reps for Penn and Nemcova didn’t get back to us last night.

    Nicky Hilton Sues for $5 Mil -- My Ex-Partners SABOTAGED My Clothing Line

    Nicky Hilton claims her high-end fashion line was a colossal failure ... and it's all because her partners were irresponsible liars who pissed away the company's cash so they could live like ballers.

    Hilton claims it all started in 2006 ... when she inked a deal with Eliyahu Cohen and the Asher Group to launch Nicky Hilton Worldwide -- which would market high-end fashion products under Nicky's name.

    Hilton claims the Asher Group promised to provide $4.9 million in financing for the operation AND pay Nicky a guaranteed annual salary of $250k plus a 10% increase every year.

    But in a lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Nicky claims the Asher Group dropped the ball ... failing to secure the $4.9 million ... never paying her salary ... and squandering what money the company did have on stupid personal expenses.

    In fact, Nicky claims Asher blew $9k per month on a personal assistant who "spent most of her time running personal errands for Asher and other tasks unrelated to NHW business."

    Hilton claims Asher and Cohen's irresponsible conduct caused her company to crumble -- leaving Nicky to "clean up the mess." Now, she's demanding AT LEAST $5 mil in damages to make things right.

    Heidi Klum: "I've Changed a Lot"

    Heidi Klum may have had some hard times this year but you certainly wouldn't know it by talking to her.

    It was just about a month ago that she filed for divorce after splitting in January from her husband of almost seven years, Seal.

    "I feel good," the single mom of four tells me. "I'm not complaining."

    In fact…

    Ms. Klum turns 39 on June 1.

    "I just posted on Facebook a video from when I was 18 and I won [the German televised modeling competion] Model 92," Klum said at the Mondrian Hotel while promoting her latest gig as the face of Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy, a new line of shampoos and conditioners. "I've changed a lot. It's like, who is that person?"

    Wearing a short black Roland Mouret dress and a pair of killer Louboutins, Klum is more beautiful than ever. And, of course, her hair looked fab thanks to Clear.

    Klum insists she's looking forward to her 40s.

    "I think between 40 and 50, you just have to give it your all," she said. "You just have to do it all. You're still somewhat young. When you turn 50, that's when we're getting a little more settled, more quiet."

    Klum says that now. We can't wait to hear what she has to say when she turns the big 5-0.

    Klum laughed, "I'll probably be hanging from a chandelier."

    Alessandra Ambrosio Reveals Newborn Son's Name-and It's...

    Beautiful women beget beautiful children, yes?

    And apparently, beautiful children beget beautiful names, too!

    Victoria's Secret stunner Alessandra Ambrosio welcomed a baby boy on Monday with fiancé Jamie Mazur, and now she's sharing his name for all the world to coo.

    And what a name: It's both biblical and fiery!

    Ladies and gents, let's say hello to...

    Noah Phoenix!

    The supermodel supermom announced her son's name on her Facebook page yesterday, writing, "Well, the day just arrived and we couldn't be more happy!!! Noah Phoenix was born yesterday afternoon and already stole our hearts. Anja is a proud big sister now and we are so thankful he is with us."

    Anja, of course, is the couple's 3-year-old daughter, who, judging from this photo, is psyched at the arrival of her little bro.

    Last month, the 31-year-old Brazilian bombshell revealed exclusively to E! News that she and Mazur were expecting a son.

    Throughout her pregnancy, Ambrosio has proudly flaunted her blossoming figure, posting bikini pics and even stripping down to her birthday suit.

    We can't wait to see pics of the newest addition to the fam!

    Alessandra Ambrósio Welcomes a Son

    Talk about a model momma: Alessandra Ambrósio delivered a son on Monday in Florianopolis, Brazil.

    Her newest little one, reportedly named Noah, joins daughter, 3½-year-old Anja Louise.

    “Welcome my son, can’t wait to show u around this crazy place,” fiancé Jamie Mazur, who began dating the Victoria’s Secret stunner in 2005, Tweeted Monday.

    The couple announced they were expecting baby No. 2 last December, and in April, revealed that they were set to welcome a boy into the family — although Ambrósio, 31, and Mazur weren’t sure what they would call him just yet.

    “[Choosing a name is] the hardest part! I want something that works well in both Portuguese and English,” she explained at the time. “It can’t be too American or my grandmother won’t be able to pronounce it!”

    Model, billionaire settle NYC child support fight

    In the midst of a trial that brought tales of the high life and high fashion to family court, supermodel Linda Evangelista and a billionaire French businessman have reached an agreement to end their child support fight, their lawyers said Monday.

    Evangelista, Francois-Henri Pinault and their attorneys were mum about the details, which they planned to give to a magistrate on Tuesday.

    "Everybody is very glad that it's over," Pinault lawyer David Aronson said.

    The settlement came in the midst of a trial over how much, if anything, Pinault should pay toward the care of their 5-year-old son. Pinault is the CEO of a company that owns Gucci, Yves St. Laurent and other top-flight fashion lines; he's now married to actress Salma Hayek.

    Both Pinault and Evangelista had testified at the trial, answering questions that delved into her career, his high-flying finances and his limited relationship with the boy. Evangelista had been due to continue testifying Monday.

    In legal papers, she had said she was spending $46,000 a month on armed bodyguards, a 24-hour-a-day nanny and other expenses for the boy, Augustin, nicknamed Augie. He was born in 2006 after a four-month relationship; Pinault said he and Evangelista spent only about seven days together in all.

    Evangelista's lawyer said she willingly paid all the child's expenses at first, but she now needs some help. While Evangelista — who once quipped that supermodels "don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day" — testified that she still can command about $100,000 to walk a runway, attorney William Beslow said her roughly $1.8 million-a-year income sank last year because a major contract with L'Oreal ended.

    "Ms. Evangelista is not looking to piggyback the lifestyle of Mr. Pinault," Beslow said in an opening statement last week. He said she wasn't asking for any particular amount.

    As part of the family behind luxury-brands conglomerate PPR, Pinault makes about $4 million a year, and Forbes estimates his family's net worth at $13 billion. He wears a $100,000 watch, dropped about $52,000 on a 12-day vacation to Bora Bora and bought himself about $62,000 in clothes in a single year, according to his testimony.

    Pinault, who has a 4-year-old daughter with Hayek and two other children from a previous marriage, legally recognized Augie as his son in 2007. Pinault said Evangelista asked for what he considered an unreasonable amount of child support, he countered with another offer, and he didn't get a response for years. She went to court in 2010.

    "We are not going to claim that he cannot pay a fair and reasonable child support," Aronson said in an opening statement. But $46,000 a month, he said, would be "just ridiculous."

    That would indeed be high, even for New York, though there have been some other big-money child support cases here. Rap impresario Sean "Diddy" Combs was ordered in 2005 to pay about $19,000 a month in support, and Revlon Inc. chairman Ronald Perelman was ordered in 1999 to pay more than $12,000 a month.

    Beauty and art

    Linda Evangelista took a break from her explosive child-custody case against François-Henri Pinault yesterday by hitting Peter Brant’s Greenwich, Conn., opening for a show by artist Karen Kilimnik. The supermodel was seen with her ex Peter Morton and her son, Augustin, 5, at the Peter Brant Foundation event. Evangelista’s asking a court to grant her a reported $46,000 a month in support from Pinault for the boy. The Brant event also drew Julian Schnabel, Marilyn Minter and Matt Dillon.

    Drake, Tyra dating?

    Rapper Drake has sparked rumours he's romancing supermodel Tyra Banks after they were spotted enjoying a Disneyland date.

    The hip-hop star, real name Aubrey Graham, has fuelled fresh speculation about his love life after he was photographed enjoying a day out with the America's Next Top Model host at the California theme park.

    In pictures obtained by fan site DizzyDrake.com, the pair was also snapped laughing together while grabbing sweet treats at Yogurtland.

    Drake has previously been linked to Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and British music sensation Rita Ora, while Banks recently ended her relationship with businessman John Utendahl.

    Linda Evangelista Faces Off Against Salma Hayek's Hubby in Day Two of Child Support Trial

    Tensions were high on Friday as Linda Evangelista and François-Henri Pinault faced each other for the second day in Manhattan Family Court. The supermodel is seeking what she believes to be a fair child support settlement from the father of her 5-year-old son Augustin ("Augie").

    Pinault and current wife Salma Hayek's 4-year-old daughter, Valentina, was a frequent topic of discussion in the court. Evangelista's attorney, William Beslow, said that while Valentina isn't "a benchmark" for how Augie should be treated, the amount of money—particularly a $12 million L.A. home in a trust for her—should be taken into consideration.

    And while Evangelista, 46, and Pinault, 49, barely made eye contact, the billionaire business mogul did agree that the supermodel is "an excellent mother" to their son. He also expressed gratitude to her for her empathy during Hayek's extremely difficult pregnancy with Valentina.

    In January 2007, a DNA test proved that Augie was Pinault's son. At that time, however, Pinault said he and Hayek "almost lost" their unborn child and "for five months, we were told the baby had Down syndrome."

    Because of this "very complicated situation," he asked Evangelista "to delay the legal recognition of Augie until after the birth of Valentina."

    "She understood, of course," he said, adding that he was indeed thankful for her compassion.

    Then in November 2007, Pinault made a child support offer to Evangelista but got no response. He assumed, based on her silence, no money was needed to support Augie. "I'm not going to pay money I'm not asked for," he reasoned to the court.

    Evangelista's lawyer also went through some of Pinault's expenses, noting that he spent around 260,000 euros on gifts alone in 2010. And yes, some of those were for Augie. "I bought him a present for his birthday and for Christmas," he said. He couldn't recall what he bought for his birthday, but he got Augie "piano things" for Christmas. But Pinault only got gifts for the boy after Evangelista complained, according to the model's lawyer.

    Evangelista then took the stand for the first time. In what was presumably an effort to show she's willing to work to support herself, her lawyer asked her to recount the jobs she'd had from the age of 12 until the present. These included "picking cherries" for "50 cents a basket," working in the same jewelry store as her mother, working in a convenience store and being a "teller in the Hollywood wax museum" in Niagara during high school summers. She then went through her modeling career—from its beginning at age 18 to the end of her L'Oréal contract in 2010.

    Testimony is expected to continue through Tuesday, with Evangelista scheduled to take the stand again Monday for cross-examination from Pinault's attorney.

    Beauty buys own ball ticket

    Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton will be gracing next week’s highly anticipated Costume Institute gala — but she’s going on her own dime.

    We’re told the blond bombshell and model of the moment so wanted to be at fashion’s big night out that she plunked down $25,000 of her own money to attend this year’s gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

    The event on Monday, honoring Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli, kicks off the Met’s spring exhibition, “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.” Sources say Upton will wear Michael Kors to the event and sit at the designer’s table.

    The Met Ball is the most sought-after invitation in town, and Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour approves every name on the guest list. Seats cost $25,000 a head at the tough-to-get-into fund-raising dinner, which helps finance the Costume Institute’s annual expenses.

    We’re told Upton recently went to Vogue’s 4 Times Square offices to meet Wintour, where Upton told the Vogue queen of her dream to go to the Met gala.

    “She told Anna she would really like to attend,” said a source. “Then she offered to pay for her own ticket. Kate then whipped out her checkbook and paid the $25,000 for her seat. Anna took the check on the spot.”

    We’re also told Upton — who is graduating from modeling swimsuits to posing for high-fashion photographers including Terry Richardson — will appear in an upcoming issue of Vogue in a makeover-themed article.

    Upton has not only made a good living as a model, but the Michigan native is a great- granddaughter of Frederick Upton, who co-founded appliance-maker Whirlpool.

    She’ll join some 700 celebrities, athletes, models and editors at the event, including co-host Carey Mulligan who will likely wear Prada, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Victor Cruz and Dakota Fanning. Reps for Vogue and Upton had no comment.

    Pregnant Adriana Lima Is Craving Beer - But Not Drinking It

    Six months into her second pregnancy, Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima is has an insatiable hankering for alcohol.

    “I’ve been craving beer,” Lima, 30, told PEOPLE Wednesday at the IWC Schaffhausen watch boutique opening in New York.

    “It’s very strange because I normally don’t like beer. Now I want some but I cannot drink it. It’s been very hard!”

    Foregoing a cold pint of beer, the Brazilian beauty has still been able to indulge a bit.

    “I’ve been craving crispy duck,” she said. “All of a sudden I cannot get enough of it. It’s amazing.”

    Despite her unusual appetite, “I’m feeling wonderful,” says Lima, who is already a mom to 2-year-old daughter Valentina.

    “It’s definitely easier than the first time, maybe because I know exactly what I’m going to go through. I’m very relaxed and have a lot of energy.”

    Lima credits her husband, former basketball player Marko Jaric, for motivating her to exercise during the pregnancy and not to completely give into her cravings.

    “I’ve gained a few pounds, but not as much as the first pregnancy — thanks to my husband,” Lima, whose workout regimen also includes boxing, says.

    “For the first three months I exercised with light weights and did workouts that were inspired by animal movements, like crab-walking on the floor. It really helped me tone my muscles.”

    As she enters her third trimester, Lima is all prepared for the arrival of her new addition – though she wants to keep the baby’s sex a surprise.

    “We still don’t know, and it keeps it exciting,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl as long as it’s healthy and everything goes well.”

    Racy Kate Upton video banned

    Bosses of video-sharing website YouTube.com have removed a steamy film of bikini-clad supermodel Kate Upton because it violates their rules on nudity and sexual content.

    The raunchy clip features Upton wearing revealing red swimwear as she dances to The Rej3ctz track Cat Daddy.

    It was first posted on American fashion photographer Terry Richardson's website and the Sports Illustrated model posted a link via her Twitter.com page, writing, "MY 'Cat Daddy'!!! directed by Terry Richardson... haha."

    As the video begins, Richardson says, "Only in America, tonight, ladies and gentleman, Kate Upton demonstrating the Cat Daddy. Take it away, Kate."

    The 19-year-old dances against a wall before covering her chest, saying, "That's it. That's all you're gonna see. Get out of here."

    After the video was banned by YouTube bosses, Upton uploaded it to Vimeo instead.

    Naomi Campbell to coach aspiring models on "The Face"

    Naomi Campbell is throwing her hat into the reality TV ring. The occasionally temperamental supermodel has signed on to serve as one of the coaches on Oxygen's upcoming unscripted offering "The Face."

    The series, which comes as part of Oxygen's push to boost its original programming by 50 percent, will feature three supermodel coaches leading and mentoring their teams of aspiring models through the ins and outs of the modeling world.

    "Throughout the series, the supermodel coaches will mentor these young hopefuls through the tricks of the trade while exposing them to the very best photographers, stylists and designers in the fashion world," Oxygen said of the series.

    The winning contestant of the series will receive a contract to model for a major national brand.

    The show's other coaches, as well as the brand that the contestants will be vying to represent, will be announced at a later date.

    "The Face" will be produced by Shine America, the people behind such reality fare as "The Biggest Loser," "Tabatha Takes Over," "Shear Genius" and "The Buried Life."

    "I am looking forward to working in partnership with Oxygen and Shine America to discover the next beautiful face of the modeling world," Campbell said of the series. "With ‘The Face' the audience will get a real insider's look at this exciting industry that has been so good to me."

    Brooklyn Decker: 'I hate showing off my body'

    She may be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model, but Brooklyn Decker doesn’t enjoy revealing her body.

    Decker recently spoke to fashion site FabSugar.com, revealing that she isn't comfortable in form-fitting red carpet looks.

    "I have help from a stylist, a good friend of mine. It's her and I, and we do it together, we're such a team. The biggest thing is finding that balance between masculine and feminine," Decker tells the site. "Because I'm such a tomboy, I hate showing off my body, and she's always like 'you have to show your figure.'"

    The statement is ironic as Decker's job regularly requires being snapped in barely-there swimwear.

    Perhaps Decker feels more comfortable in the fatigues she wore filming her movie "Battleship." Over the weekend, Decker visited Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with her co-stars Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna and Alexander Skarsgard, posing for photos in front of the Battleship Missouri Memorial.

    Paris Hilton Tries Convincing Judge Lingerie is Important to Me!

    Paris Hilton is tied up in court today -- because she wants to show a New York judge she takes her bitter legal battle with an Italian lingerie company super seriously.

    If you recall ... Hilton and Le Bonitas -- an Italian lingerie company-- are embroiled in a lawsuit over a product deal gone bad. Hilton signed a 5-year deal to create a line of lingerie, pj's and swimwear with the company, but the project fizzled ... and now both sides are suing each other.

    Hilton showed up to New York federal court today -- where lawyers are arguing key issues -- and sources close to Paris tell us, she showed up because she wants the court to know how important this case is to her and her brand.

    Hilton is suing for more than $1.5 million -- the amount she was supposed to snag in royalties -- and Le Bonitas is suing for $200K plus.
