Miranda Kerr Models Qantas' New Uniforms

Thursday, 18 April 2013




Kerr walks the runway in Australia as she is hired to model new uniforms for Qantas' cabin crew.
Miranda Kerr unveiled Qantas' new uniforms on Monday, April 15, in Sydney. In the uniform-launching bash, Kerr walked the runway in a black outfit with orange and pink stripe on shoulder and chest area. In addition, a black belt perched on her waist. She had red lipstick on and her hair was arranged in a simple updo. Kerr also posed in a black trench coat and a fedora.

Before the launching, Orlando Bloom's wife confirmed that she was leaving Victoria's Secret in an interview with Sydney Morning Herald. She denied rumor saying that she was dropped by the lingerie company because she had "difficult reputation." Kerr said, "I'm sure anyone that has worked with me would agree that it's not true."

The mother of 2-year-old Flynn said that she wanted to be entrepreneur since she gave birth to her son. She expected that she could achieve her goal before she turns 30, which happens on Saturday, April 20. "This is a natural evolution," she said from her home in Los Angeles.

"The thing is, I've been modeling since I was 13. I'm now entering a new phase in my life. I have felt this coming since my son was born and, after I became a mother, I realized I needed to prioritize my time. It's really important I give 100 per cent to my clients and I have to be careful to make strategic long-term decisions with my personal and business interests. I've reached a point in my career where I'm developing my own opportunities that are really reflective of my passions," Kerr said.

Kerr is "grateful to" the lingerie company for launching her career in the U.S., but she could not commit to a full contract. "I'm just not in a position to commit to a full contract at this time. It's three months at a bare minimum," she revealed. Kerr accepted the company's invitation to walk on this year's show.

Liam Hemsworth Returns to Australia to 'Have a Break' From Miley Cyrus

Saturday, 9 March 2013



Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus are indeed having a break, a source claims. The Aussie actor reportedly is back home Down Under, while his singer/actress fiancee is in the United States out and about still without her engagement ring.

Miley was first spotted ditching the ring when leaving a recording studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 6. She was once again seen leaving the diamond ring at home when going out with her male friend Paul Khoury who was initially reported as "mystery man" by many media outlets.

"Miley is still upset with Liam," the source tells PEOPLE, without specifying the reason why she's so angry at her fiance. "She took the ring off to make him mad." Though so, "It doesn't mean that they have split. Miley says they are still together."

"Miley is crazy about Liam, but sometimes doesn't treat him great," the source adds, hinting at what could possibly draw them apart. "She likes things her way and tends to play games. Liam is also a strong person and that's why they often butt heads."

The problem between the couple became apparent when they partied separately during the Oscar weekend. They were rumored breaking up after he was spotted overly friendly with actress January Jones at an Oscar after-party and leaving the bash in the same car.

"January was clinging to Liam," a guest at the private party claimed to Life & Style. "He kept saying, 'We can't do this here.' Then they left holding hands and went out in the hallway and were making out. She was wasted. It wasn't good."

While "The Hunger Games" actor and the "Unknown (2011)" actress remained mum about their hookup report, a different source insisted they're just friends. "[They] used to go clubbing together in L.A. They have been friends for a while," said the insider.

Miley herself took to Twitter to deny mounting rumor that she called off her wedding, "I am so sick of La. And sick of the lies that come with it. I didn't call off my wedding," announcing her break from Twitter, "Taking a break from social media. #draining."

Miley Cyrus Spotted Without Engagement Ring Amid Split Rumors

Friday, 8 March 2013



Though Miley Cyrus denied splitting from fiancé Liam Hemsworth on Wednesday, she was spotted later that night without her engagement ring.

Seen leaving an L.A. recording studio late that night, Cyrus was photographed with two rings on her engagement finger, but neither were the one Hemsworth gave to her when he proposed last May.
This is not the first time Cyrus has been spotted without the bauble — she was previously photographed without it last month — and according to People, a source close to Cyrus maintains the wedding is still on.

The source does acknowledge that the couple "have had some problems that they are working through," including recent rumors of infidelity on Hemsworth's part.

"I am so sick of LA. And sick of the lies that come with it," Cyrus tweeted Wednesday. "I didn't call off my wedding. Taking a break from social media. #draining"

"my new music is gonna shut everyone up," she added, before saying she would only discuss her music from there on out.

Hemworth is currently in Australia with no planned return date. But according to the source, his trip to his home country was already planned and not a result of relationship issues.
