Kate Moss re-signs with Topshop for three more years.

Moss’s new spring 2009 collection will go on sale in March next year and will also be available at the launch of the Topshop/Topman flagship store in New York’s Soho district, scheduled for that month. Kate Moss will be adding lingerie and accessories to her collections.

Amber Le Bon will be the new face for River Island for the new spring/summer '09 campaign



18-year-old Amber has also signed to Models1, who also look after her stunning mum, in addition to other big names such as Agyness Deyn and Twiggy.

I wonder if Simon Le Bon put his daughter to work because he stop touring and he might need money.

For our Friends in Los Angeles, CA.


See the 1974 movie called "Black Christmas" this week at Landmark Sunshine


Black Christmas is a 1974 Canadian horror film, directed by Bob Clark, which has a very large cult following. It was written by Roy Moore, and based largely on a series of real-life murders in Montreal, Quebec, around Christmas time. Black Christmas stars Olivia Hussey as a young college student who must deal with a deranged killer lurking in her sorority house. It also features Margot Kidder and Andrea Martin, before either had gained fame in the United States, John Saxon and Keir Dullea round out the cast. The film's score is by Carl Zittrer, and was marketed with the tagline
"If this picture doesn't make your skin crawl...
It's on too tight!".
