Breaking News! A model wants to be a singer

It's raining fashion campaigns in Hollywood.

Practically, every young starlet has their name associated with some major brand: Hayden Panettiere designs bright-colored patent leather totes for Dooney&Bourke; Eva Mendes will be fronting two Calvin Klein campaigns next season; Rachel Bilson is designing a diffusion line with DKNY Jeans; Ashlee Simpson just signed a deal with Wetseal, and Chloë Sevigny, uh, well, who hasn't she collaborated with?

Suffice to say, I fully understand why models would be interested in branching out into other careers because at this rate there won't be any jobs left for them!

With that, Victoria's Secret supermodel Selita Ebanks apparently has her heart set on being the next Mariah Carey or something like that. On her budding R&B career, she says: "I love to sing. Mary J. Blige is my favorite artist to sing, but only on a stage - not karaoke. You're screaming when you do that and it hurts your voice!"

Will she bust a new tune at the Victoria's Secret fashion this November? Yes, I'll have my fingers uncrossed for this one, too.
