Is Rosie Engaged?

There's no official word yet, but rumour has it British VS and Burberry model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is engaged to boyfriend of just over a year Tyrone Wood. The pair have been spotted looking super cosy the last few weeks, with Rosie sporting a very large diamond ring on that oh so special finger....congrats to them if they are!

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

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.

A Change of Face at Burberry

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 stake
s 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.

Belles At The Ball

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!
