Is Gisele Bundchen the new Austin Powers girl?


Fact or fiction:

Gisele Bundchen will be kickin ass and taking names alongside Mike Myers in the upcoming Austin Powers film.

Uh, we're not sure. But according to the Boston Globe, the 27-year-old model-actress-whatever has supposedly read through the script and will meet with director Jay Roach and Mike Myers in the near future for the part.

Vogue: Lebron and Gisele cover controversy

Who would have thought that just a month after Vogue was patting itself on the back from breaking down racial barriers by inviting Lebron James to be the first black man ever to grace the magazine's cover, the editors at Vogue would be taking fire for being racially insensitive? The cover, as many people pointed out -- including us here at Styledash -- featured the superstars in a pose that reminded us of Jane and Tarzan. Now, I do agree that the cover does kinda suck, but mainly on the grounds of taste.

The controversy is not over whether or not the cover looks stupid -- because it definitely does -- but whether the cover perpetuates racial stereotypes by depicting Lebron as a huge hulking beast of a man that resembles King Kong holding Fay Wray captive. Fay Wray in this case would be Gisele.

Lebron and Gisele: Take two



Last week, we reported that NBA star Lebron James and supermodel Gisele Bundchen would be on the April cover of Vogue for the annual "shape issue."

Well, the cover is out and I'm indifferent. The concept of model and athlete is great, but the execution could have been a little better. You know, slightly less Tarzan meets Jane.

Anyways, the other athlete and model pairings in this issue include: swimmer Michael Phelps with Caroline Trentini, snowboarder Shaun White with Daria Werbowy, speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno with Doutzen Kroes; and discus thrower Jared Rome with Raquel Zimmermann.

Style.com just added this behind-the-scenes video featuring the two cover stars posing for Annie Leibovitz in the studio as well as Apolo Anton Ohno taking Doutzen Kroes for a lap around the ice.

Gisele and Lebron James on the April cover of Vogue?

It's no secret that Anna Wintour loves some tennis, but last night the editor-in-chief sat courtside with her boyfriend Shelby Bryan at the Knicks versus Cavaliers game.

Wearing a casual top, jeans (yes, jeans!), and brown leather riding boots, Wintour was there as a guest of Lebron James -- whom she had dinner with the night before.

And what did the new B.F.F's talk about over their high-protein meals? Fashion, of course! Apparently, Lebron told la Wintour all about his weakness for Ralph Lauren suits and disclosed that he wears a brand-new pair of sneakers before every game.

So, what gives Anna? Why the sudden love for the NBA, its scandalous referees and chiseled-bodied players?

Well, according to the NYPost, Mr. James will be on the April cover with Gisele Bundchen for the annual "shape issue."

In the words of Victoria Beckham, that's "major!" As a fan of both sports and fashion, I couldn't be more excited about this upcoming issue. The accompanying editorial featuring the supermodel and sports icon should be amazing.






Tom Brady might pose in his undies

For anyone who only watches football for the tight pants, this could just be your lucky day. Rumor is that Tom Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots, is going to strip down to his undies for a new Calvin Klein campaign.

This kind of ad campaign isn't rocket science -- aimed at either dudes who think they'll look hot and manly like Tom Brady in a new pair of Calvins, or at the women in their life who buy them underwear. Regardless, Brady will bank on this one -- scoring a reported seven figures for what will amount to a couple of hours standing around in his skivvies.

The real question is: how will Tom match up to David Beckham's recent ads for Armani? Sure, they're both ripped, good looking, blah blah blah. But the soccer star was looking rather rotund in his nether regions -- and it'd sure be embarrassing for Tom (and Gisele!) if his Calvin shoot didn't, uh, measure up.

Gisele plays designer for Dolce & Gabbana

Don't call it a comeback, but Gisele Bundchen is on fire!

Since handing back her jewel-encrusted wings to Victoria Secret last year, the Brazilian bombshell has fronted the high-fashion ad campaigns of YSL, Aquascutum and Versace. In addition, she has done a slew of magazine covers and editorials with some of the most prominent stylists and photographers in the fashion industry.

If that wasn't enough, she can now add designer to her already rather impressive resume.

Gisele has teamed up with Milan's sexiest duo, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, on a clothing line set to be released at the end of spring that is aptly entitled Bundchen by Dolce & Gabbana.

Price points for the collection haven't been made available, but the fashion house expects to make $200 million from this luxe hook-up.

I can't wait to see all of the pieces. I know the shoes are going to be something fierce! However, if it does fall a bit short, there is always Kate Moss for Topshop to satiate my supermodel fix.

Did we miss a chance at seeing Gisele naked?

I didn't really care who won the Super Bowl. I guess it would've been nice to see the Patriots get their perfect season (and anything is better than watching the Giants win), but all in all I was only half-interested.

However that was before I knew what was at stake. Apparently there was a rumor circulating that Gisele Bundchen, the uber-attractive supermodel girlfriend of New England quarterback Tom Brady, would run naked through the street of Time Square if the Patriots had won the game.

Naked! Gisele! In the streets!

Were the Patriots aware of this? How could they have possibly lost the game knowing what was on the line? Or, on the other hand, maybe they did know, and the additional pressure was simply too much to bear -- which led to their unfortunate performance on Sunday.

Truth be told, Gisele's agent is claiming she never made the promise, so it's likely that even if the Pats did pull through, we wouldn't have seen any streaking supermodels. Regardless, this is a sad day -- for New England fans, for Gisele fans, and for fans of public nakedness.

I guess there's always next year.

Gisele Bundchen strips down for eco-friendly sandals

Granted, it's not exactly sandal weather right now. But spring is right around the corner -- so it's not too early to keep your eyes out for some warm weather footwear. And as long as you're at it, why not do a little something for the planet?

It seems that what supermodel Gisele Bundchen was thinking. She's not just wearing a new sandal designed to raise awareness about water conservation -- that's all she's wearing. The new Ipanema sandal (which Bundchen designed) was created to support a campaign called Y Ikatu Xingu, which is working to protect the Xingu watershed in the Amazon basin. And what's even more exciting, is that Gisele is featured on the website -- wearing sandals, some water, and her birthday suit.

After all, nothing gets people more pumped up about saving the planet than naked celebrities.

Gisele's ad campaign for Disney?

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is best-known for two things: hair and boobs.

(The model once confessed she never would have made it in the fashion industry were it not for these assets. Touché!)

Nevertheless, the Brazilian bombshell stars in an upcoming advertising campaign for decidedly unsexy company: Disney. The Where the Imagination Saves the Day worldwide campaign features Annie Leibovitz photographs of Gisele dressed as Wendy from Peter Pan.

Gisele isn't the only sexy star to pose for Disney's latest marketing blitz; Scarlett Johansson, David Beckham and Beyonce also signed onto Disney-fied photos.

So lets get this straight: Gisele is Wendy; Scarlett is Cinderella; Becks is Phillipe, and Beyonce is Alice.

Is it just me or does this ad campaign seem appeal to a slighter older Disney demographic?

Brazilian models are taking over the runways

brazilian runway models
What better way to start the Hump Day than with a full-spread post about Brazilian supermodels?

You can thank me later, but let's not miss the real point. Forbes magazine recently ranked the top-earning models in the world and AOL Latin points out that three of the Top Five were Brazilian women. It's hardly surprising, coming from a country that turns out exotic, toned, golden-skinned, vibrant and curvaceous women. Who are they who made the Top Five? Gisele Bündchen, who made "$33 million this year. According to Forbes, her fortune is close to $200 million," Adriana Lima, the "fourth highest paid model in the world, with an estimated income of $6 million," and Alessandra Ambrosio, "a Victoria's Secret model. (Remember that lingerie made entirely with candy?) She follows Lima in the Forbes' list, ranking fifth and earning $6 million last year."

But they're not all. There are quite a few Brazilian models samba-ing down the runways. Aol
  • Isabeli Fontana
  • Raica Oliveira
  • Jeisa Chiminazzo
  • Ana Claudia Michels
  • Ana Beatrix Barros
  • Fernanda Tavares
  • Fernanda Motta
  • Ana Paula Araujo
  • Aline Nakashima

Rich, skinny and pretty

Models, what a life, huh? Extremely beautiful, walk for a living, fabulous clothes, team of make-up artists, hot boyfriends, oh, and they're rich too. Remember that famous quote from Linda Evangelista back in 1990? "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day." Cha ching.

Forbes magazine has put together a list of the World's top-earning models can you guess who made the top of the list? Here is a clue: dated hottie Leonardo DiCaprio, has a killer bod, models for Victoria's Secret ... oh, and she is pictured on this post. It's 26-year-old Gisele Bundchen, coming in at $33 million, making her the highest paid model in the world.

Number two will only make $9 million dollars in 2007 (wow number one makes more than three times that ... ouch). This model had more drug scandals than you can count on one hand, she's getting a little old, and dated a rock 'n' roll disaster. It's 33 year old Kate Moss. It's no $33 million, but for a 33-year-old model who was been through the ringer with the tabloids, I would say that's pretty good.

It's a good thing number three makes a good living -- she has babies to take care of. It's 34-year-old Heidi Klum raking in about $8 million dollars. Another model who didn't let her age get in the way by renewing her Victoria's Secret contract, she keeps busy with the hit show Project Runway.

For the complete list click here.

Gisele takes on the pope

Gisele Bundchen is generally consider the supermodel with the best personality. Personality, unfortunately, can be interpreted widely. It could mean that she's the model with the best boobs -- which she is. Or it could mean that she's the model with the best hair -- which again, she is.

A third possibility is that "personality" refers to Gisele's mind, but I doubt it.

How do I know? Well, Gisele likes to talk. Some supermodels -- Kate Moss being the best example -- shy away from interviews and microphones, so we're thankfully spared their oh-so trenchant thoughts. Gisele, on the other hand, loves to chit chat. She loves it so much that she's ever so often apt to say something congenitally stupid.

A case in point is Gisele's recent comments regarding Pope Benedict's latest visit to her native Brazil. During his visit, Benedict came down harshly on the use of contraceptives in the predominately Catholic nation. The pope's message dismayed Gisele -- and rightfully so I'd say -- so she took it upon her narrow shoulders to set the holy pontiff straight:

"It's ridiculous to ban contraceptives. You only have to think of the diseases that are transmitted without them. I think it should be compulsory to use a contraceptive."

Sure, it's admirable that she sticks up for what she believes in, but I really think she ought to look up the word "compulsory" before she tries to use it again. Condom police sound like a bad idea.

Gisele covers it up for Aquascutum

Gisele may have hung up her knickers modeling for Victoria's Secret but she's far from out of the fashion biz. WWD reports that the Brazilian bombshell will star with Irish actor Jamie Dornan, who has modeled for Armani and Calvin Klein in Aquascutum's latest ad campaign. As I mentioned last year, the formerly austere brand is looking to pep up their look. The last campaign featured Pierce Brosnan and model Julia Stegner as a power couple. Gisele and Jamie were shot at Cliveden, the former home of the Astor family and the backdrop to the Profumo Affair, the legendary sex scandal that hit Britain in the 1960s. Their campaign has more of a lost weekend theme, capturing a luxurious tryst with Gisele wearing one of five coats from Aquascutum Vintage, a collection based on vintage Aquascutum designs worn by Hollywood heroines including Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Sophia Lore . The ads will appear in the big fat September issues of many fashion mags.
