Teen Vogue November Cover: Chanel Iman & Jourdan Dunn
Written by Violet on October 6, 2009 – 7:11 am -For the November issue of Teen Vogue, models Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn were chosen to be the beautiful faces on the cover. What’s particularly unique about this? The two teens are the most successful black models going right now and in a time when fashion editorials, photo shoots and runways are almost entirely white, it says something that these two young ladies grab a cover. In the accompanying article, the teenagers do admit to struggling to get along with each other.
“It’s competition,” Jourdan told Teen Vogue. “There aren’t a lot of us, but instead of sticking together, we’re pitted against each other. People will say things in Chanel’s ear like, ‘Jourdan is taking your spot’, and then they’ll say to me, ‘Don’t trust Chanel’.”
The problem they face? There’s there’s only room for one black girl – apparently. “You’re being told, ‘So and so is only booking one black girl. It’s either you or Jourdan’,” said Chanel.
For now they have other projects: Chanel is working with Victoria’s Secret and Jourdan is pregnant but still doing the catwalk for designers like Jean Paul Gautlier. Check out more of the interview with the two teen stars here.

Taylor Swift “Not Actively Looking For A Boyfriend”
Written by Violet on October 4, 2009 – 8:25 pm -Taylor Swift is used to the single life but don’t pity her – she doesn’t feel sorry for herself. The teen star says:
“I wasn’t really popular at high school. I’ve never really been sought-after by guys, but I don’t wallow in it. It’s my comfort zone, being single.” An optimistic Swift adds: “I feel that a lot happens to you when you’re not looking for it so I’m not actively looking for a boyfriend.”
She is bright, talented, young and beautiful. Many guys dream about her. It’s only a matter of time before she’s off the market again.

Taylor Lautner Trying To Get ‘Twilight’ Werewolf Role Again
Written by Violet on December 18, 2008 – 11:02 pm -
Nothing in Hollywood is guaranteed and it seems being a part of the super successful film ‘Twilight’ doesn’t mean you will be granted that same role in the next film, as hottie Taylor Lautner is finding out. For the sequel, ‘New Moon’ Lautner has to beef up his body to play the part of Jacob Black the werewolf and the actor is currently meeting with new director, Chris Weitz, to prove his abilities.
“I have been working out. I’ve been working out since the day we finished filming Twilight. I just weighed myself today; I’ve put on 19 lbs.,” Lautner told MTV on Wednesday night at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Salute to Young Hollywood.
Lautner is currently in competition for the part with actor Michael Copon of ‘Scorpion King 2′.
