Kate Moss is Branded as "Irresponsible" for Skinny Comments
When Kate Moss gave an interview to WWD about her new fragrance, I was pretty shocked to hear her reveal one of her mottoes – "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". It seems to have been a bit of a slow burner in the news, but today it has landed the model in trouble as eating disorder charity Beat described the comments as "dangerous" and "very unhelpful".
Storm models released a statement saying that Kate's comments had "been taken out of context and completely misrepresented."

Germany's most popular womens' magazine Brigitte has today announced controversial plans to ban professional models from its pages.

MySpace Credit Card Encourages Paying on Time
There's a new credit card on the borrowing scene, and this one is backed by a surprising, social-networking sponsor. MySpace has teamed up with Citi in launching a card with its logo as part of a "Generation Forward" campaign. The card is being marketed as "the credit card that rewards you for doing the right thing," offering perks like a .25 percent APR reduction after three months to active users who stay under their credit line and pay on time.
High-Fructose Corn Syrup vs. Sugar
You've probably seen those commercials boasting that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) isn't as bad for you as you think, since it's made from all-natural corn. It's misleading though because just like refined white sugar, HFCS is a highly processed sweetener. Both sugar and HFCS provide zero nutrition and loads of empty calories.
Does Calling Obama a Socialist Cross the Line?
In 2001 John McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts, part of which Barack Obama now wants to let expire (while keeping some in place). In 2000, McCain shared a take on the progressive tax system, which deviates from the one he has now. He confronted a question from the daughter of "Joe the Doctor" who asked McCain at a 2000 townhall: "Why is it that someone like my father, who goes to school for 13 years, gets penalized in a huge tax bracket because he's a doctor?"
Breaking News: Mayor Encouraged to Cut Funding for LFW
Earlier in the month we announced a change in plans by the British Fashion Council to tackle the problem of size zero models at London Fashion Week. The BFC had previously announced plans for the models to have health checks before appearing on the catwalk but could not get support from the three other major fashion weeks (Milan, Paris and New York) so were forced to scrap the plans amidst fears of scaring off models.
Today the week faced another blow as the mayor of London Boris Johnson is being asked to pull funding from the fashion week.
Fab Flash: BFC Change Plans to Tackle Size Zero Models
The use of size zero models on the catwalk is a long, disputed subject that reappears every season. The British Fashion Council (BFC) headed by Hilary Riva have been trying desperately hard to tackle the problem. Last season, they ruled that every model should provide a doctor's certificate proving they are in good health before appearing in a show.
