Iman, Korto Momolu Celebrate Sam Fine DVD Launch

June 21, 2009

Legendary makeup artist Sam Fine has dolled up some of the world’s most beautiful women: Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and Vanessa Williams to name a few.

So when we heard that Fine was hosting a party at the Plaza Thursday night to celebrate his new “The Basics of Beauty” DVD, hosted by supermodel Iman (top photo, with Poison Ivy), we had to check it out.

And we were quick to learn we’re not Fine’s only fan!!

Taraji Henson, Wendy Williams, Deborah Cox, RuPaul and Project Runway season five runner-up Korto Momolu (bottom photo) were just a handful of big names in the room.

Momolu chatted with us for a minute about what she’s been up to, post-PR.

“I’m designing,” said Momolu, who sported an animal-print bag with a bullhorn handle. “You know me, with my African.”

Momolu’s line is set to debut this fall, she says, and if it’s anything like her bag, we cannot wait to see more!

In the meantime, you check out her fantastic jewelry collection for sale here.

Riot Erupts at America’s Next Top Model Auditions

March 15, 2009

Three people were arrested during the New York auditions for the CW’s America’s Next Top Model in New York Saturday, after a fight broke out, which reportedly led to a bomb scare.
Thousands of girls, some who had lined up the night before, heard someone in the crowd yelling, “There’s a bomb!” and started stampeding their way out.
So scary!
Two women were hospitalized and at least half a dozen were injured.
“We all fell on top of each other,” said Rose, of Scranton, Pa. “People were squished against the wall, screaming, ‘I can’t breathe! I can’t ‘breathe!'”

Check out a video of the chaos here.
