Brazilian super model Adriana Lima will break into the fashionable world of Mode magazine when she makes her acting debut on an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty.

“Adriana has always been a huge fan of Ugly Betty and is thrilled for the opportunity to make a guest star appearance,” says Lima’s rep Liza Anderson.

On a future Betty (returning to ABC Sept. 25, 8 p.m. ET), Lima will be hired to pose on the pages of Mode’s “sizzling hot issue” and will work with Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) on a cover story about the virtues of exotic fruit, including the fictional “tico berry,” which the Vicoria’s Secret model — playing herself — will credit as a booster to her sexy appearance.

But in a twist right out of Betty’s madcap world, Lima, 27, will sport a broken finger from a real-life fall she suffered while on vacation in Croatia.

These uber-cute images of Gisele Bundchen, her boyfriend Tom Brady and his son John have emerged this week! They were taking family time out to rest on the grass at the Gillette Stadium where Tom had been training with the Patriots earlier in the day. Tom could be seen with little John on his shoulders dancing playfully and Gisele was spotted giving him some water.

Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio and long term boyfriend Jamie Mazur welcomed their first child, a girl named Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur, into the world at 7:32 on Sunday evening at the St.Helena clinic in Florianopolis.

It is rumoured that that the labour lasted 7 hours and was uncomplicated. Alessandra hoped for a natural birth however a caesarian section was resorted to by doctors in the end to deliver the baby. She was surrounded by family members, one of whom videoed and photograhed the whole thing!

The director of the clinic is quoted as saying (translated from portuguese) "She is a very attentive mother, careful, dedicated. She is patient, sympathetic and that captivated everyone in the maternity ward."

Various sources are saying that mother and baby are both healthy and left the clinic early on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the New York Times, pictures of Anja are in the process of being bid on by various international publications, and some of the proceeds going to Multiple Sclerosis Children's Fund

Victoria’s Secret has revealed to People Magazine that Dutch model Doutzen Kroes is the newest Victoria’s Secret Angel, joining the line up of Heidi Klum, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima, as well as past angels like Gisele Bundchen and Tyra Banks.

Born in Oostermeer in the Netherlands, 23-year-old Kroes scored a modeling contract after she sent her photo to an agency hoping to earn enough cash to buy more fashion magazines.

Her first official Victoria’s Secret campaign, Supermodel Obsessions, launches today in N.Y.C.

I just had to bring you these gorgeous and glowing photos of Brazilian superstar Adriana Lima and her huge engagement ring! She looks so ridiculously happy!

She was on the red carpet with her fiance, sports star Marko Jaric, at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. Looking fabulous in a black mini-dress belted with black ribbon, some very high black and gold heels and accessorized with her fabulous new diamond engagement ring, Adriana also presented an award later in the evening.

There were rumors last week that the cute couple had split up, which Kerr’s publicist denied. Kerr was supposedly seen kissing her ex boyfriend, Brandon Davis, at different clubs which prompted the breakup story. The National Enquirer says it’s not true that Kerr and Bloom have split and that they’re actually engaged and looking for an apartment together.

Ironically, last week a report surface in a magazine claiming the couple had broken up. Not only was that report wrong, but Orlando was actually proposing at that time!

“Orlando’s been crazy in love with Miranda since they started dating - and he finally stepped up to the plate and asked her to marry him last week,” a close friend told The Enquirer. Insiders say the couple is planning a Buddhist wedding ceremony, because they feel their faith brought them closer together.

“Since his proposal they’ve been looking at engagement rings on both coasts,” said the source. They’re also looking for a larger apartment in New York so they can move in together.

We’ll have to see what happens with these two in time, but we hope it works out for them. They sure would make cute babies....

Is the romance over? Miranda Kerr's relationship with Orlando Bloom is finished, says an insider cited by In Touch in this week's issue who adds that she has rebounded into the arms of her former flame, oil heir Brandon Davis. The Victoria's Secret model and Brandon were first seen together shopping on LA's Robertson Boulevard last November but at the time they both insisted they were just pals, reports the magazine.

According to the report, In July Brandon, who recently split from Australian model Cheyenne Tozzi, and Miranda’s friendship took a romantic turn — they were spotted canoodling at two clubs in NYC. Brandon, 27, and Miranda were “full on making out” says a witness at 1Oak.

The report claims that the pair was also spotted kissing at Beatrice Inn later that night. “They didn’t seem to care who saw,” the witness reveals. While a rep for Miranda, 25, denies she has split with Orlando, 31, she was overheard telling Brandon about the breakup.

“Miranda always seems to go to Brandon when she has a fight with Orlando,” the insider tells the weekly entertainment magazine in a report set for publication this week. “He’s her rebound guy.”

While Ronnie Wood's marriage is in crisis after news that he is seeing a teenage Russian waitress, his children's love lives are positively blooming. Tyrone, the Rolling Stone guitarists 25-year-old son, is dating Burberry model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and the couple are celebrating a year together this weekend.

"Im taking Rosie out for a special surprise for our anniversary," art curator Tyrone declared at his exhibition Scream In High Definition. "I have to admit, she did have to remind me but I've got it all under control now!"

Mail On Sunday

This weekend saw the launch of the highly anticipated Burberry campaign featuring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and British actor Sam Riley. There's so much hype surrounding who ditched who and why....so who's better for the campaign, Rosie or Agyness? Tell us what you think!

A stunning Russian supermodel plunged to her death from the ninth floor of her lower Manhattan high-rise Saturday, police sources and neighbors said.

Ruslana Korshunova, 20, a long-haired beauty who graced the cover of Russian Vogue, plummeted into the middle of busy Water St. in the Financial District around 2:30 p.m., according to sources and building residents.

Witnesses to the apparent suicide had no idea that the shoeless woman dressed in blue jeans and a purple tank top was a famous model but noticed her beauty right away. "All I saw was something moving out of the corner of my eye, and then boom. It sounded like a bass drum when she hit the ground," said Steve Metzger, 36. "She was a pretty girl."

Investigators believe Korshunova jumped from her ninth-floor apartment adjacent to a skyscraper construction site, a law enforcement source said.

"I turned around just as she was about 3 feet off the ground and then, boom, she hit," said witness Ahmed Saad, 22, who was manning a nearby halal food cart.

Often photographed with her thigh-length locks cascading around her, Korshunova was born July 2, 1987, in Almaty, Kazakhstan. She was reportedly discovered in 2003 by Debbie Jones of Models 1, who spotted a picture of Korshunova in an in-flight magazine article about the girl's hometown. "I saw her by chance and she looked like something out of a fairytale!" Jones told British Vogue. "We had to find her and we searched high and low until we did! She's really incredible with feline features and timeless beauty."

She was represented by the agency IMG and has modeled for Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs and Cynthia Rowley.

It may sound like the title of another terrible novel, but thankfully, it's not. It's the mystery of who is brazilian super stunner Ana Beatriz Barros dating?

When asked backstage at the Lenny show in Rio yesterday she was careful to keep her relationship under wraps (similar to her career of late, where has she been?!) - all we know is he's brazilian, owns a business, they have been together for 7 months and are 'very much in love'. Oh, and he's also the romantic type....as yesterday was the brazilian equivalent of Valentines Day he showed up to support her at the show, plus sent her 110 roses and a diamond necklace! Read it and weep girls. Read it and weep.

Photo shows Ana at the Lenny afterparty on Thursday evening.

Gisele Bundchen has reportedly purchased her very own jet, a Gulfstream G550 for $50 million, according to the Boston Globe. The super-fast jet, which can carry 14-19 people, will enable Gisele to fly from the US to Sao Paulo to Paris without worrying about connections or waiting in lines.The Gulfstream 550 is the longest range business jet in the world and more than 124 aircraft have been produced.

In other Gisele news, she's just been placed at #66 on the Forbes top 100 most powerful celebrities list, with a pay of $35 million - it's no wonder she can afford that private jet!

Orlando Bloom cuddles up with supermodel girlfriend Miranda Kerr on the dance floor at the third annual Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Party, held at the Stud House, Hampton Court Palace on Saturday in Richmond upon Thames, London, England.

I’m guessing Miranda had to use ample double stick tape for this event!

The night raised funds for the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation - an international fund fighting child cancer in Russia and to fund research to help eradicate this life-threatening disease.

The best way to get people talking about you is to tell them not to. Canadian model Heather Marks recently moved into a chic new building on East 14th Street, where one resident said, "She's going around introducing herself to everyone and telling them she's a model," adding, "But don't tell anyone because I don't want it to get out, you know, because I don't want everyone to make a big deal." Her fellow residents find the behaviour "kind of annoying, because no one cares at all."

Quick, get the nail file out! A new generation of catwalk scraps is about to erupt after 'next big thing' and new face of Burberry, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, slammed her predecessor, Agyness Deyn, for snubbing her.

Last month it was revealed how young star Rosie, 21, toppled her former friend's reign as the face of Burberry after just one season. Insiders revealed Deyn 'the new Kate Moss' was replaced because she had over exposed herself with publicity. Now Rosie is showing little sympathy for her former elfin friend, who she says blanked her for six months when she first hit the headlines.

'Agyness was really sweet and we used to hang out all the time. But when she became big she dropped me.'

'I tried being her friend and texted her repeatedly for six months but she never replied so I just gave up. So good luck to her. I haven't seen her', she told Metro at a party this week.

The Devon beauty, also a D& G underwear model says she's already shot the new season for Burberry. 'It was really cool and very exciting to do. That was a big thing.' She confirmed the whispers that Deyn, 26, had out done herself by over publicising her image, saying, 'Personally I think Agy's look is a one-off season look but she has been so publicised and has such a big profile she'll probably make it in the long term now, I guess.'

The brunette then played down her own hype as the next big thing, saying 'I don't even know that would means.'

'Right now I am just happy focusing on my projects and campaigns. But I am up for anything', she says.

Pandora has been keeping a close eye on the budding relationship between Ronnie Wood's son Tyrone and his model squeeze, 21-year-old Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

As I recently reported, Huntington-Whiteley has decamped to London after a brief spell in New York to be reunited with Wood.

I ran in to them after a touching minor tiff over a fur scarf she wore to a recent cocktail party.

"Ty's mum Jo gave it me as a present. I really like it, but when we got into the car to come here this evening, he said he didn't want me to wear as it was cruel," she complained. "Mind you, he won't be complaining when I take it off in his bedroom later."

Career-wise, Rosie is on the up and up. According to reports, she's uprooted supermodel de nos jours Agyness Deyn to be next season's "face" of the British label Burberry. "I can't speak about that," she added somewhat mysteriously.

Very blond, well-boned, expensively jeaned buyers have been pouring into East Village apartments for so long that it’s hard to find new excuses to complain about the area’s über-gentrification. But then again, it’s hard to remember when someone as upsettingly young as Lily Donaldson, the 21-year-old Vogue cover girl, spent anything like $2.2 million on a neighborhood apartment, especially one that happens to be as far east as Avenue B.

Her new two-bedroom place on Tompkins Square Park around East Eighth Street could be the most expensive co-op ever sold on the block, The New York Observer reports.

She has Brazilian cherry wood floors (“that glow with the setting sun,” according to it's listing), two bathrooms with original pedestal sinks and cast iron tubs, a 40-foot-long living room with six windows facing three directions, and, of course, a dressing room off one of the two bedrooms.

On the downside, the building is massively nondescript and un-frilled, plus the apartment needs work. “I’d put money into it,” Mr. Davis said, “I’d bet she will, too.”

Ms. Donaldson was “the highest bidder and very qualified. The board liked her and approval was unanimous, which is always a concern when you’re dealing with a young model,” the broker said. “You’re never sure how a board would see her.”

The reason why Agyness Deyn was dropped as the face of Burberry can now be revealed.

An insider at the fashion house told me that celebrity snapper Mario Testino – described as the company's advertising visionary – is fed up with the hype surrounding the elfin model who aimed to topple Kate Moss as the queen of British fashion.

Asked why Agy had been dropped less than a year after pinching the role from her rival, the checked-cap mole told me: 'She was just a flash in the pan. Last year she was quirky but now she is challenging Moss in the fame stakes by positioning herself everywhere. That kind of popularity just hasn't sat well with Mario, who is looking for something different'.

Deyn, real name Laura Hollins, has long played the fame game.

She is a regular on the celebrity circuit and has made several high-profile showbiz appearances, including presenting a prize at the NME music awards and collecting the model of the year gong at the Elle style awards. She has also just made a pop music video.

But the 26-year-old's attempts to eclipse Moss in the popularity stakes seem to have backfired – as well as losing the Burberry contract she also failed to make a list of the top ten richest models, in which Moss came third. To make matters worse, it seems Testino is not just looking for a new face – he wants a younger one, too.

The snapper – famed for his photos of Princess Diana – is thought to want to replace Deyn with 21-year-old Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

The Devon beauty, a D&G underwear model, has reportedly already been booked to front Burberry's autumn campaign.

Pictured, Rosie at dinner hosted by Jefferson Hack in New York this month.

Monday night saw the rich and famous strutting their stuff on the red carpet at the entrance to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in aid of fashion's biggest event - the Costume Institute Gala, complete with superhero theme.

Many a celebrity was in attendance, including the Beckhams, Julia Roberts, Eva Longoria, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise - but what really matters around here, the models, are the ones who really stole the show.

A good amount of the industry's most prominent models were there as guests of the top designers. The best dressed of the night included regular guests Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady, wearing Atelier Versace and Tom Ford respectively (pictured); Jessica Stam in Proenza Schouler; Karolina Kurkova in Vera Wang; Natasha Poly in Phi; Liya Kebede in Jonathon Saunders and Kate Moss in Stella McCartney.

Relative newcomers to the guestlist included Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, looking stunning with new bangs and in Burberry Prorsum (pictured); Lily Donaldson, also in Burberry Prorsum; Doutzen Kroes in threeasfour, Anja Rubik and Coco Rocha, both in Pucci and Jourdan Dunn in Bill Blass.

Overall the night was an overwhelming success on the model front, and witha wide choice of afterparties to keep them going into the early hours, it's really no suprise!

Smiling model mum-to-be Alessandra Ambrosio has been spotted taking some well earned rest this week with friends and boyfriend Jamie Mazur at Coachella music festival in California; she has also been spotted shopping several times in Los Angeles at both Kitson and Ed Hardy. The baby is believed to be due around early September.
