Tom Cruise, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Their Nipples Get Wild in W
File this beneath “things that make us really feel weird inside”: Tom Cruise’s crazyass W spread has just been released in its entirety. Photographed by Mario Sorrenti, the shoot sees Cruise, in character as an aging rock god for his upcoming function in the huge screen adaptation of Rock of Ages, acquiring wasted in a dingy hotel space. Along for the raunchy ride are requisite model band-aids Abbey Lee Kershaw and Edita Vilkeviciute, each and every searching equally roughed up and competing with Cruise for most nip-slips per shot.
Relating to the nearly 50-year-old Cruise’s Rock of Ages get-up, W‘s Lynn Herschberg writes, “if he didn’t approach the function with sincerity and intensity, Cruise could effortlessly appear like a joke.” Guess we’ll have to see the movie to judge Cruises’s believability for ourselves, since although we admit Suri’s dad genuinely looks insanely fit for his age, it is been a great ten years because he’s been regarded as a lot of a sex symbol. And that nipple tattoo? We’ll just say, we’re glad it’s temporary.
Abbey Lee Kershaw Sings Loudly at the Gym, Apparently
There is been some speculation about model Abbey Lee Kershaw’s whereabouts this month, as she hasn’t walked in any style shows since New York. We do know one particular thing for certain: Final weekend, she was at Green Fitness Studio in Bushwick, singing loudly with her headphones on. According to a fellow gymgoer (a New York staffer, who shall remain anonymous), Kershaw then mounted an elliptical machine and continued singing tonelessly as she worked out, occasionally bobbing her head and flailing her arms as nicely. “I gave her some dirty looks to see if she’d cease, since I could hear her over my own music,” explains our source. “But I believe she saw me staring and just sang louder. It was like a moaning sound, almost.” Properly, you’ve got to give her at least some credit for combining band practice and cardio.

I began using their moisturizer, cleanser, and toner. They also have this spot cream that I really like.”

15 years ago, all a model had to do was show up and appear quite. But in today’s social media-saturated world, a excellent pair of legs and killer cheekbones do not a supermodel make. More and far more, a model’s earning power is derived not only by how a lot of shows she walked or magazines she covered, but how many Twitter followers she has, according to the AP.
Name recognition has usually been a strong asset in a model’s career, but whereas in the past the public mainly got to know the industry’s biggest players by way of numerous covers, campaigns, gossip columns and paparazzi photos, today’s social media has enabled models to make names for themselves. Now, any company-savvy model can get her name out there–and control her brand–through Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.
The new crop of social media friendly models–like Coco Rocha, Doutzen Kroes, and Karlie Kloss–may even see the return of models to the covers of magazines–or at least generating some headway on the celeb covers that are de rigueur–said Wilhelmina president Sean Patterson. “With fan sites, blogs and Facebook, all of a sudden you can adhere to a model and know who she is,” Patterson told the AP. Plus, it does not hurt that having a huge social media fanbase can bring instant buzz to any brand that hires the model. “I imagine, for example, that Victoria’s Secret likes that Doutzen (Kroes) has so many Twitter followers and that she tells them, ‘Watch the Victoria’s Secret show I’m in at 9 p.m.,” Patterson told the paper.
