Justin Timberlake’s Esquire Cover Worst Seller of the Year

Apparently the sight of Justin Timberlake no longer makes us want to whip out $3.95. His October cover feature on Esquire was the worst seller for the mag in 2011. The solo cover only sold 73,000 copies.

Justin also bombed again on the cover of W despite the added feature of Amanda Seyfried. The issue only sold 15,000 copies. This was the second worst selling cover for the fashion meets art/culture mag.

Lindsay Lohan Investigated By Police For Jewel Theft

Lindsay Lohan

There is never a dull – or legal, for that matter – moment in this girls life! Lindsay Lohan was in London recently for a photo shoot with Elle magazine when she allegedly took off with $45,000 worth of jewels that were on loan from a local jeweler.

Per Holy Moly:

“She kept going on about the jewels asking if she could have them. We all thought she was joking!” according to the source.

After the photo shoot, the jewelers realized their items were missing and promptly contacted the magazine bosses who insisted they had no knowledge of what happened to the missing loot. Both the editors and jewelers then spent the next two weeks trying to get in touch Lohan, but she left the U.K. last week without so much of a simple returned phone call. Because of her unresponsiveness on this, the matter was handed over to British police late last week and is now being investigated.

This is by far the first time Lohan has played ‘sticky finger’ with others’ property. Louis Vuitton bosses reportedly refuse to deal with her anymore after she repeatedly walked off with goods from past photo shoots. Rumor has it that she has supposedly yanked one too many products from their shoots to the point that they’ve blacklisted her.

Per Holy Moly via NYPost:

“Louis Vuitton had sent over some samples for her to wear in the shoot. Lindsay kept shoving the clothes into her bag, and a stylist’s assistant kept getting them out of the bag, only to have Lindsay keep trying to take them. She ended up walking off with a very expensive shirt and some other items – which screwed Louis Vuitton because they were set to go to Vogue, W, and Harper’s Bazaar for other shoots. They were furious and kept trying to get their clothes back, but . . . Lindsay walked out with them and never returned calls.”

Lohan was also caught up in a fur fiasco after allegedly taking home a Russian student’s $11,000 mink coat from a New York club last year. Owner Masha Markova claimed Lohan straight up stole her coat as she was leaving the private party. Lindsay first denied it, but was later caught red handed when a photograph of her wearing the stolen property was published in a magazine. After threatening legal action the coat was quickly returned to her.

As of right now, there is no official confirmation from the police regarding Linday’s involvement as of yet, but you can sure when there is we will be one of the first to gloat about it. Rehab, alcohol & drug abuse, stalking Samantha Ronson around London, and now felony theft… Wow. And at only 22 years of age. Quite the role model, huh?

Tyson Beckford: ‘Celebs are Stealing Jobs from Models’

Tyson Beckford, a veteran male model turned reality tv show host, is hitting out at celebrities who are taking over the fashion world.

Beckford, who is currently hosting “Make Me a Supermodel,” is frustrated with celebs taking the fashion reigns from models. Magazine covers are being dominated by celebrities adorned in high clothing. They are taking the place of those who are physically gifted. Vogue, W and InStyle are just a few who prefer a celeb on the front cover as opposed to models.

Per AP:

“You have to do a lot of tweaking and airbrushing to get the same from a celebrity that you would get from a model. A lot of celebrities — I’m gonna tell you right now — they’re not 5’11″; they’re not a size 2 to fit into these designer dresses, but the designers want exposure so they’re willing to make the specific dress for that actor or actress to get them to look good on the cover.”

Currently the A-list ranks of Hollywood sell the magazines better than just a pretty face. A staple question at a red carpet event flooded with celebs is: “Who are you wearing?” Does this mean the time of the model is over? Not according to Tyson. Designers rely on the famous to market their clothing now, but the fashion world is notoriously fickle.

“It’ll all come back around. One day some designer will wake up and say, `You know what? I don’t want to use Gwyneth Paltrow. I want to use Adriana Lima, I want to use Gisele (Bundchen), I want to go back to the high fashion. I think slowly but surely you’ll see that start happening.”

Agreed. I also can’t wait until the ‘pail and frail’ trend passes. The runways are littered with gaunt models who look as though they have wandered out of Auschwitz.
