+ Forbes Top 5 Fashion Models

Gisele Bundchen
The world's best-paid model is even bigger in her native Brazil; after clothier C&A signed her to a Brazilian campaign, sales shot up 20% there. (Forbes also found her worthy of a cover for our Brazilian edition this year.) She does fine away from home, too, with seven-figure, multiyear deals from Bulgari, Dolce & Gabbana and Victoria's Secret. And, unlike many colleagues, the 21-year-old still regularly prowls the catwalk. (Gisele is also in the Celebrity under 25 list)

Heidi Klum
A Victoria's Secret favorite who knew she'd make it big, she copyrighted her own name years before she became famous. She also designs her own swimsuits, available only on her Web site.

Christy Turlington
Many models want to act, but few want to report from Afghanistan. Yet that's where the 33-year-old's gig as a Today show correspondent landed her last year.

Carolyn Murphy
Last year she took Elizabeth Hurley's crown as the face of Estée Lauder cosmetics. The pay is better than her last job's--running a surfside restaurant she owned in Costa Rica.

Milla Jovovich
The face of L'Oréal made the jump from magazines to movies, with a comic turn in Zoolander and the lead in Resident Evil.

+ Wet t-shirts, post-September 11
National Post - The latest fashion ads reflect a sombre new mood - as long as you don't look too closely. Bruce La Bruce's impression on the current fashion ads. Versace: ".. feature a bunch of whacked-out-looking Eurotrashy models on the beach, some of them completely nude, all of them looking slightly embalmed". On Dior: ".. may have been replaced by a squeaky-clean, laughing Bündchen, but she's still all wet, her nipples manifestly erect". On Brazilians in ads: ".. Brazilian tan allows for foreign flair without too much ethnic reality".
(Bruce La Bruce???)

+ French magazines get millions in federal funds
Ottawa Citizen - French Canadian-language publications are receiving nearly a quarter of the $25-million-a-year protectionist fund that the Liberal government created to protect Canadian magazines from feared from American publications. The fund also gave more than $200,000 in subsidies to Elle Quebec. A magazine only published for one province. Flare, a national magazine, only received $243,150
(Well if you're Canadian then you know already this same government is in a huge scandal for creating election slush funds and giving allot of tax payer's money to Quebec companies)

+ Attack of the clothes
Guardian - The new Star Wars film is the most stylish show in town
(I've seen Star Wars twice so far and even came across a net copy of it. I can't say some of the bad reviews were wrong. The acting isn't so hot. Lucas seemed more interested in his special effects. The dialogue was enough to get through a scene. But I thought it was a real fun movie. I liked it. More then Spider-man, and I liked Spider-man. I thought the scene with New Yorkers saving Spidey was dumb. Spidey is suppose to be the hero. He shouldn't be saved by the people he was trying to save.)
