1. Is this a satirical, over-worked  fashion shoot… or is it just Miranda Kerr’s real life captured on Instagram? Just look at this picture of the supermodel reading a book. Seriously, this one is oddly baffling and we’re unnaturally obsessed with it.

Or does everyone read like that – artfully posed and surrounded by chandeliers…

There are some other interesting shots in this gallery too. A prize should be awarded for Most Photogenic Life.

Totally normal, really. That’s how we read books too.

You too?

 

2. When Anne Hathaway shaved her head for her role on Les Miserables, this is the most surprising thing she’s said about it….[more]

 

3. The most shocking Pirelli Calendar shoot ever. Like, ever. In case you’re not familiar with the Pirelli Calendar, it’s an annual shoot of models and actresses who are always naked and yet ‘arty’ to justify the nudity. Paid for by a tire company and sent to mechanics. Seriously.

(You can see 2012′s VERY NAKED calendar here.) For some reason nobody can recall, it’s seen to be a huge honour to be selected to model in this car tyre calendar and it always features very high profile models, photographers and actresses. It’s sort of been eclipsed by the Victoria’s Secret show but whatever.

Some of the pictures from the 2013′s calendar have been leaked – and Shut. The.Front.Door.. Yes, the calendar still features A-list models including Adriana Lima, Karlie Kloss and Kyleigh Kuhn. But they’re fully clothed. The photographer, Steve McCurry, said at a press conference in Rio (yes, they had a press conference to launch a tyre calendar): “You can photograph nudes anywhere. But these models are clothed, and each of them has her own charity. They are purposeful and idealistic people.”

Oh! A charity angle too! So there’s that.

Have a flick through the gallery. The images are beautiful (but heavily altered):

4. No one quite matches up to Scarlett Johansson when it comes to reading the weather. WTF? Click here and you’ll see what we mean….[more]

 

5. And you thought planking was stupid. Welcome to “milking”, the dumbest trend that’s ever hit the Internet since the last dumbest trend to hit the Internet. “Milking” involves filming yourself tipping a two-litre bottle of milk over your head – preferably in a public place – and posting it on the web for the world to see.

Yes, it is just as pointless as it seems, and yet it’s somehow still gone viral.

7. So apparently 19% of people have dropped their phone in a toilet. (It’s probably a lot more but we’re hazarding a guess that many are too embarrassed to admit we text from the loo.) If that unfortunate incident happens to you – never fear! There is a solution – and it’s in this video (which you should bookmark in case of emergency…)

    Leave Miranda alone. She was born looking much more acceptable than the rest of us and so should get lots of money. If you’re jealous you should have been born prettier.

    I’m sick of Kerr. Mainly because of her inane comments on drugs during birth.

      Why? because she choose to experience a drug free birth, she never advocated that every woman should do same she stated that she choose that for herself. Refreshing that she made a choice for herself but wasnt shoving her opinion onto anyone else, nor stating that any other choices for other women were wrong That was her birthplan. Perhaps you need to reread that article as your original interpretation was skewed.

      I disagree completely. I never felt that she was making out as though she was some sort of hero for not having drugs, never asked for any praise for having a drug free birth. It was her decision in terms of what was right for her and her baby, and I frankly feel like people who think that she has said those things are only reflecting their own feelings about birth and whether or not they went drug free themselves.

    Oh Miranda, stop it. Please eat a cheeseburger so I can feel better about myself!

      She does. She was eating a hamburger during a shoot in a Vogue article I read a year or so ago. She is the definition of ‘contradictory’.

    Yes I regularly read topless under the glow of a chandelier with my locks if hair all bouncy and styled whilst wearing a face full of make up.

      Considering she is a model employed to pose how she is told, you do realise she gets very little input into the artistic direction of any particular shoot?

      That is what being a professional model is actually about, posing under direction. And she does it very well hence why she is sought after.

    I’m so sick of seeing photos of Miranda Kerr. I like her as a public figure and I like what she stands for and I’m not one of those people that thinks she’s self righteous about, well, a lot of things but every time I see her I feel like a lesser human being. Haven’t we had enough of examining model’s lives? Even to ridicule? And is that a very human, kind, feminist thing to do?

    What on earth is with the snark over Miranda – she’s a model, there are photographers everywhere, and she’s obviously on set, as it’s the same thing from the previous picture where she set it was a set. So she uses that to post a nice picture about a good book. Big deal.

      I tried to say exactly the same thing, Tallulah, but for some reason my comment never made it. As you say, its obvious that she is working and she even says it in one of the instagram shots that she posted.

      I actually asked the same question many moons back. I think someone needs to get over their jealousy.
