Australia’s Next Top Model Contestant Kicked Off
This Tuesday’s episode of Australia’s Next Top Model is gearing up to be one of the most controversial ever with a so-far unidentified contestant to be kicked off the show.
While in the lead-up to the episode have suggested bullying was the driver for the eviction but more recently, host Jennifer Hawkins revealed the issue was actually much more serious and one of “violence” between contestants.
She told the Herald Sun, “Basically it was a serious matter, Foxtel and the production company stepped in and they wanted the girl to be eliminated. I had to do and trust what they said and decided.”
She continued, “It is not bullying as such, it is more like a violence matter.”
Last week ahead of the Myer Spring/Summer fashion launch, Jen told us she is sometimes surprised at how honest and “full on” she is with the contestants on AusNTM but that it’s the only way the hopefuls can be properly prepared for life in the fashion industry. Watch our interview with Jennifer Hawkins.
Single Bingle
Lara Bingle is single yet again after her crazy work schedule has taken its toll on her romance with Nick Cohen.
The Aussie star, who has been busy with her partnership with CottonOn and the upcoming release of her lingerie line, told The Sunday Telegraph, “Nick and I have been close friends beyond our romantic relationship ad will continue to be always. Unfortunately the distance got the better of us but my schedule for work will surely keep me busy.”
Nick is a New York DJ who once dated Keith Richards daughter Alexandra and has been seeing Lara Bingle for the past few months. The pair called it quits a few weeks ago after one last fling in Paris.
We have little doubt the gorgeous Bingle will find the right man at the right time, but for now we’re just looking forward to checking out her swimwear range for CottonOn and her own lingerie line – onwards and upwards Lara!
Lea Michele’s Emotional Speech
The Gibson Amphitheatre in LA was overrun with some of the hottest names in Young Hollywood today as the Teen Choice Awards kicked off.
There were plenty of major names on the red carpet including Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and Lucy Hale who hosted the event with Glee star Darren Criss.
Glee actress Lea Michele was also in attendance for her first public appearance since boyfriend Cory Monteith’s tragic passing. The gorgeous star won an award for Choice TV Actress and took her moment on stage as an opportunity to thank her fans for their support.
She said, “I promised, that with your love, we’re going to get through this together. He was very special to me, and also to the world, and we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile, and his beautiful, beautiful heart.”
Earlier in the night, the cast of Glee took the stage to accept the award for Choice TV Show: Comedy and said that they will always remember their ‘brother’ Cory.
