Underweight model 'too giant for London Fashion Week

At 5ft 11in and nine stone, Madeline Grant is more than half a stone underweight according to NHS guides. The size eight 17-year-old was "devastated" when Profile refused to put her onward for castings as her hip depth had bigger by two inches.

Eating disorder expert Dr Adrienne Key said the case highlighted the industry's “robotic obsession” with an ultra-thin ideal of female beauty.

Today the agency insisted it was “protecting” Madeline from being rejected by “sad” designers who will only show their clothes on women who appear like “androgynous bloody coathangers”.

He said “95 per cent” of catwalk designers would think Madeline too big. The industry is run by the gay mafia who has never imaginary a girl in their life and don't value any curves - they think they just get in the way of clothes.

 “My friends are laughing about how they all wish they were as fat as me now.

Claudia Nystad and Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle have admitted they wore absolutley nothing under their body-hugging outfits during their amazing team sprint win on Tuesday.

According to the 'BZ' newspaper, Evi said: “We would have appreciated to race naked. But we had to cover ourselves with something.

"Honestly, we didn’t have anything on under our skiing suits because of the heat.”

Fans of the sexy skiers will no doubt be taking a closer look at the pictures of their winning race again…

But Evi made it unambiguous that she has no further plans to go bare: “I wouldn’t undress for Playboy now.”

The only man lucky enough to see 29-year-old Evi in the naked is her husband of five years, Johannes Stehle.

Tyra Banks Is 'Huge,' Possibly A Man

Fired "America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickinson doesn't have the nicest things to say concerning her former boss Tyra Banks, according to Starpulse: "She's huge. She's a big lady. I used to think she was a man. I used to look at her and think, 'Something isn't right here.'"

Dickinson was seemingly canned from "America's Next Top Model" for calling Banks "fat." And she's not the first ex- supermodel to be sacked from the show: this summer Paulina Porizkova blogged for the Huffington Post about being fired in the spring of 2009.

The newest judge to be added to ANTM is Vogue's editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley, who's no unfamiliar person to weight battles: he took up tennis after his boss Anna Wintour told him to lose weight.

Tyra Banks launches ‘fiercely real’ teen model search

America’s next top model is receiving real.

Tyra Banks has announced her latest modeling contest and it’s all about plus-sized teens, reports us magazine. She calls the new contest the first ever “fiercely real” teen model search.

The supermodel-turned-TV-guru talked about the competition during her daytime talk show, “The Tyra Show,” on Monday. Any girls between the ages of 13 and 19 are invited to enter, as long as they have a dress size between 12 and 20 and are 5′9″ to 6′1″ in height.

Unlike “America’s Next Top Model,” this search won’t have the girls going from side to side weeks of grueling photo shoots exhausting sky-high stilettos.

Models

Hot models have been wearing hot fashions in hot and humid conditions in Melbourne.

The festival will include seven runways at Docklands, with shows open to the public.

International designers, such as Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa and former Hermes chairman and chief executive Christian Blanckaert will feature, as well as Australian fashion industry icons and budding designer.

Hot Girl

Cheryl Cole was said to be confounded last night after her footballer husband Ashley's lewd performance heaped further humiliation on her.

The couple had before now spent most of the past fortnight apart amid revelations that pictures of the Chelsea star naked had been sent to a blonde topless model's mobile phone.

Cole, 29, had insisted that there was an innocent explanation for this because he had passed the phone on to an acquaintance before the photos were sent to mother-of-two Sonia Wild.

But yesterday it was claimed that another blonde, an unknown secretary, had received similar images and more than 300 text messages from the same phone nine months earlier.

Cheryl, 26, is due to perform in front of millions of viewers at the Brit Awards in London tonight. Observers at rehearsals say she looks gaunt, physically crumpled and miserable.

But she is said to be firm to go ahead with the show in spite of the latest sickening blow to her marriage
