The Material Girl is out at Dolce & Gabbana. Victoria’s Secret models are in.
After two seasons of fronting the Italian brand’s sexy campaigns, Madonna will be replaced by a group of young models, reports New York magazine.
Victoria’s Secret beauties Izabel Goulart, Alessandra Ambrosio, Maryna Linchuk and Isabeli Fontana shot the Spring 2011 ad campaign with photographer Steven Klein on Thursday.
Madonna played the housewife in ads for the luxe design house for the spring/summer 2010 campaign.
The black and white images of Madonna playing a fantasy housewife – making dinner, eating pasta and rinsing plates while wearing glamorous dresses – were reportedly inspired by Italian neo-realism cinema.
“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana told Vanity Fair’s Italian edition in December 2009.
Kanye West says there’s no way he’s going to perform on the “Today” show later this month — as he was scheduled to do after the way Matt Lauer handled his interview about George W. Bush.
Kanye twittered this message after last week’s taped interview on “Today”: “I’m not performing on the Today Show for obvious reasons. I’m so happy the world got to see just a small piece of ‘the set-up.'”
Kanye butted heads with “Today” over an interview they aired on Wednesday in which Kanye said, “I would tell George Bush, in my moment of frustration that I didn’t have the grounds to call him a racist.”
In a series of tweets after the interview aired, the singer said Lauer “tried to force” his answers.
“I went up there to express how I was empathetic to Bush because I labeled him a racist and years later I got labeled a racist,” he tweeted.
“While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the “MTV” under me with audio,” he tweeted, in apparent reference to footage of the star storming on MTV’s Video Music Awards’ stage to interrupt Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech last September.
“I feel very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused,” West tweeted after the interview.
Elin Nordegren‘s sale of jewelry Tiger Woods gave her is expected to bring $2.5 million.
The auction of jewelry the golfer gave her during their five-year marriage even includes her engagement ring.
It was reported several weeks ago that the 30-year-old had chosen the auction house Sotheby’s to stage the sale, but these are the first details about the items, which will include jewelry from Tiffany, Harry Winston and Cartier, according to reports.
‘It’s the ultimate act of revenge. It’s her way of saying, ‘Now do you get the message? It’s over!’ a source close the mother-of-two said.
Even though the items will pull in big bucks, a source said she’s only selling the items because she believes they were simply gifts to cover his guilt.
Plus, it’s not like she needs the money: Elin is believed to have received $100 million from Tiger in her divorce settlement.
Porn star Jenna Jameson reveals she quit the industry to give her twin baby boys chance of a “normal”‘ childhood
Jameson said having twins sparked her decision to quit her lucrative career as a porn star – and says she won’t even do magazine shoots anymore.
The woman widely acknowledged as the world’s most famous ‘adult entertainment performer’ – says she felt that giving up her job and covering up was the only way she could give 19-month old boys Jesse and Journey a ‘normal’ upbringing.
And when it comes to telling her sons what their mother’s job used to be, Jenna, 36, told the December issue of W Magazine: ‘I really don’t think I need to say, “Mommy was a porn star”.
‘I feel like they’re going to know me and think, Mommy loved us so much that she quit everything and made us her job.
‘I thought, “I’m getting rid of these things. I don’t need them anymore”. The moment I decided to have children I quit. I won’t even do a Maxim cover.’
Jenna is now enjoying a peaceful life in the California countryside with partner Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, 35, after selling her $30 million porn empire to Playboy in 2006.
She added: ‘Here, I’m not “Jenna Jameson” – I’m just one of the moms who walk(s) a double stroller every day.
