Like Alessandra and Miranda, Doutzen Kroes is doing the beach thing this week (unfortunately, there’s no bikini in sight…yet) – here she is combining: 1. posing with 2. jogging and 3. doing a great job at looking athletic, slim and healthy.

There is soooo much more after the jump, take a look!

That’s right – Tyra’s new show: “Fiercely Real Teen Model Search”

From NBC:

Tyra rightly points out that the average woman’s size in America is 12-14 — not exactly the 0-2 you often see on the runway, so she’s kicking off the Fiercely Real Teen Model Search to select six finalists that will appear on the The Tyra Show (which is in its final season). There’ll be Top Model-esque challenges involved, and the winner will receive Top Model-esque prizes like a contract with Wilhelmina, a spread in a magazine, a photo shoot, and even a whole day with Tyra herself.

On the one hand, this seems like a brilliant way to take advantage of a cultural moment (i.e. plus-size models suddenly getting the fashion spotlight), but on the other hand, it seems like a way to take advantage while avoiding making plus-size models, oh, the center of an actual TV show, as opposed to a segment on a TV show currently in its last season. Why not devote an entire season of Top Model to plus-size ladies? There’ve already been winning plus-size gals on the show, and we’d certainly tune in.

What does Tara have to say about her initiative? Here it is:

“Plus-sized tends to have a negative connotation and I want young girls to realize that what’s considered plus-sized is the average American woman.”

“That woman is healthy, fit and beautiful. Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”

P.S.: Like many of you, I don’t like the use of “real” as synonym for “plus-size”. All sizes are real sizes.

From Us Weekly:

Helen Mirren might not opt to go under the knife herself, but she doesn’t judge her Hollywood cohorts for getting plastic surgery.

“You go, ‘I don’t want to look at that face anymore,’ and I understand that, absolutely,” the actress told British morning show GMTV.

The 64-year-old star added, “I think people should be allowed to do whatever they want to make themselves feel happy.”

Because in the last set of Miranda Kerr pictures, we got jeans and not bikinis and it just wasn’t enough, here is the Victoria’s Secret beauty at the beach again, this time wearing a hot pink bikini and a tiny white number.

Looking goooood!

So many more inside!

Kourtney Kardashian is sharing her secrets on how she lost the baby weight in OK! Magazine – seems like your typical magazine cover. But wait! Kourtney said that she never talked with the magazine, even though they quote both her and her stepfather.

“One of those weeklies got it wrong again … they didn’t have an exclusive with me. And I gained 40 pounds while pregs, not 26…But thanks!”

… mentioned Kourtney on Twitter.

Even more, Kourtney says that they photoshopped the cover in order to make her look thinner:

“They doctored and Photoshopped my body to make it look like I have already lost all the weight, which I have not”

And all these fakes under such healthy, no-pressure headlines, like “Lose 10 lbs in 10 days… FAST”.
