The Shorts Erin Wasson Broke Her Foot For

>> Back in May, we first heard about Erin Wasson fracturing her foot while shooting a group of short films.  Finally, more details about the bone-crunching project with Justin Timberlake for his line William Rast have emerged.  The mini-documentaries are titled "My Name Is William Rast" and feature Justin as a "mysterious rebel" and Erin as Birdie, his love interest. The two are on the run from what is implied to be the police, stopping intermittently for makeout sessions before running through the woods to escape gunshots (cue Erin's ill-fated running sequence).  The videos will debut on williamrastmovie.com later this month, when you can judge whether the project was worth a cast and crutches.

Stone-Cold Lara, Natasha Poly Come Clean for Jil Sander Fall 2008

>> All of you who give Lara Stone grief about flaunting her assets in editorials, these are for you.  No top shelf visible here: She's all buttoned up in tweedy sheaths and wooly funnel-necked dresses for the Fall 2008 Jil Sander campaign.

Natasha Poly joins her in the Willy Vanderperre-lensed mood-fest, but it's Lara's emotive emergence from the shadows that really does it for me.

Irina Lazareanu

Irina Takes the Concert Arena

>>  Still no word on Irina Lazareanu's maybe or maybe not album, but she did join the British band Cazals on-stage at their live performance on June 29 in Paris.  Previous clips of her singing have been more folky — I guess that's Sean Lennon's influence for you — but this clip (first 1:30 of the video) makes Irina seem very much of the Pete Doherty school of rock.

Naomi Campbell

I'm very grateful for my career, but I worry for the girls [of color] after me for the opportunities they get -- the way they get treated.
