A mighty shift has taken place in the fashion industry: 90s supermodels are taking away all of the major high paying jobs from the new blood. All of them.

Argentinian supermodel and mom of four Valeria Mazza may be doing some hard time as a result of alleged tax-evasion which may explain why she's dressed as Al Capone.

In days when cougars run rampant, there may not be a hotter kitty than Helena Christensen. To prove her point, Helena recently told TMZ paparazzi that she looks better half naked now than she did 17 years ago in Chris Issac's iconic "Wicked Games" video.

What do you think? Is Helena more smokin' rolling around the beach in her skivvies at 22 or strutting the streets of NYC at 39?

One would imagine that choosing an outfit would be difficult for Kate Moss. Not that she wouldn't look pretty fabulous in absolutely anything, because she would, of course. But, can you imagine her closet? It would take us all day to choose from all those choices, but not Kate.

Claudia Schiffer resurfaces out of nowhere looking as fabulous as ever! We are now fully convinced that no one works it like the supermodels of the 90's.

After a couple of stints in rehab, courting a few rebel boyfriends, and gracing the cover of thousands of fashion magazines, someone wants to make a film about the life fashion's ultimate bad girl, of supermodel Kate Moss.

The movie team behind Forgetting Sarah Marshall are rumored to be whipping up a script about the fashion wild child as I type, which means they're probably doing a lot of research for the fashion flick on sites like Perez Hilton and other gossip blogs since the Queen B rarely ever gives interviews.

No word when the movie will see the light of day, but we're almost certain it's going to be all sorts of amazing when it does. Our fingers are crossed!

According to NY Mag, the superest supermodel Gisele Bundchen will be putting her bling up for sale at the infamous Christie's on October 15.

Reports state that some of the gems come from the ex-factor. That's right, she's giving away some of the loot that Leo gave her including a colored diamond ring worth about $20,000 and a diamond pendant necklace worth a whopping $150,000. Alongside these precious gifts, Gisele will also be auctioning two giant diamonds that, together, will reportedly go for as much as $4 million.

And in her true giving spirit, Gisele will be donating all proceeds to a nonprofit that aids African diamond mining countries. Touché Leo, touché.

As punishment for hocking that infamous loogie on a cop at Heathrow Airport, Naomi Campbell was sentenced to 200 hours of community service at a local soup kitchen. And like the very humble and agreeable supermodel that she is, Naomi showed up -- 10 minutes late. According to reports, she then proceeded to get the soup kitchen's best attempt at VIP treatment which, while we're sure it isn't up to Campbell's standards, kinda undermines the whole reason behind why Campbell was sent there.

Oh well, people can't help but be a little starstruck when they encounter a celebrity -- much less a true supermodel -- it's pretty natural. Still, the fact that Naomi gets the cushy job filing paperwork doesn't say much for the equality of celebrities in the British justice system. One of her fellow soup kitchen workers said Naomi was treated "like a princess" and that the work at the kitchen is "usually pretty gruelling work but not for her." Guess it pays to be fashion royalty.

How do you know when you're a genuine 'supermodel' versus one of those self-proclaimed upstarts? Maybe it's when you become the subject of a $1.5M sculpture entitled "Siren" -- not that there's any doubt surrounding Kate Moss' supermodel status. In what is thought to be the largest gold statue since the days of the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, Kate Moss has been immortalized in the form of a 50kg (110lbs) solid gold statue at the British Museum in London.

The artist, Marc Quinn, has used Kate Moss as inspiration in some of his past works. In 2006, Quinn featured Moss in a sculpture he named Sphinx, in which he contorted the supermodel into a freaky yoga position. Apparently, he sees her as a representation of "the ideal beauty of the moment" -- and we're pretty sure he's not alone. The golden statue will was first unveiled yesterday and will be featured in the Statuephilia exhibition from October 4th thru January 25th.

What we can't seem to figure out is: is the Kate Moss statue nude? If so, a lot of tickets will be sold.

If anyone knows about underwear, it's Elle "the Body" Macpherson. Both lingerie model and mogul, her Intimates line has some of the sexiest bra and panty pairings out there.

Perhaps it's been around for a while, but we just came across the intriguing website for Intimates which features Elle's online "magazine." The current "issue" has provocative photo spreads, like the voyeristic "What the Butler Saw" and "Rear Window" both of which feature faceless figures captured in suggestive poses, and yes, include plenty of shots of behinds, with and without panties. Not to mention the title spread, "In the Boudoir" which relies on some artful blurring that just barely keeps it from being too revealing.

Right around this time each year, rumors begin to run rampant about key fashion week faces, so we're going to take this latest bit of news about a certain IMG catwalker with a grain of salt:

Apparently, former Prada campaign girl, Gemma Ward, will soon be officially retiring from modeling -- opting instead to pursue a career in Hollywood as an actress. Earlier this year, Gemma stared in two films: The Strangers, where she played an evil killer who hides behind a mask and The Black Balloon, a feel good film where Gemma plays the girlfriend of boy trying to cope with his brother's mental disability.

One time in an interview, Gemma said she only began modeling because people told her it would help her acting career. So the jump to become a full-time actress isn't that big of stretch. Plus, with acting, no one will probably care as much when the already thin 6'0 beauty decides to eat hamburger or some other food no one should be freaking out about.

There really has been a revival of the true supermodel. The woman who doesn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day, the one and only Linda Evangelista has been signed to be the new face of Prada.

Kate Moss. We <3 this old broad. First of all she's well into her 30's but totally parties like a rockstar... err, a supermodel. And her fashion sense is off the charts. We can admit we will probably never be as cool as her.

Here she is at the Glastonbury Festival in Someset England, a three day extravaganza that is a must see if you ever cross the pond.

Anywho, Kate is walking to go see the Kills play on stage in her cool khaki coat, Siwy jeans, and Hunter wellies. *sigh* We only wish we could look so good in our wellies.

Sure, she has her faults just like everybody else, but we love Naomi Campbell. We especially love watching her hot body in a swimsuit. But as we watched Tuesday night's All-Star Game, this annoying yet remarkable commercial kept appearing that somehow managed to show Naomi in a swimsuit and then totally turn us off to SoBe Life Water forever in the same 30 seconds. Congratulations, that's not an easy to do.

Naomi Campbell has made a name for herself by looking gorgeous. Well, by looking gorgeous and throwing phones and tantrums, anyway. But here, at the photocall to promote Thisdays' third annual "Africa Rising" music and fashion festival, Naomi looks absolutely radiant.

She does a modern take on classic look, which is something anyone can pull off. Check out the gallery to see how you can make her look work for you!
