Miranda Kerr, Australian supermodel, posed nude on the cover of Rolling Stone. Others that have stripped for the magazine are: Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston and Lady GaGa. That’s some good naked company to be in.
The 26 year old is mostly known for her work as a Victoria’s Secret model and for banging Orlando Bloom (aka Legolas, that elf from that movie). She decided to take it all off to raise awareness of the environment, and to save the endangered koalas. (link)

A former male model who ran a successful business selling illegally obtained human growth hormones and steroids has been jailed.

Rhys Uhlich defends sexy pics
Teacher Rhys Uhlich says he has been hurt by comments made by family groups who criticised him for appearing semi-naked on the reality show Make Me a Supermodel.
Uhlich, a finalist in the TV competition, works as a physical education teacher at Sacred Heart Primary School in Melbourne.
“I find it funny that all of these people are commenting on me, saying I’m a terrible role model, and yet none of them have ever been into my classroom and watched me teach and see how I interact with the kids,” Uhlich, 24, said.
“I certainly understand my responsibilities as a teacher and I think people are getting a bit carried away. The kids know me for who I am, and they are the ones who are with me everyday, not these people who have arced up. I wish they would come into the classroom and sit with me.” (news)
Caroline Byrne jury discharged after misconduct
A jury has been discharged at the murder trial of Gordon Wood, who is accused of throwing his model girlfriend off a cliff.
In discharging the seven women and five men today, Justice Graham Barr said the evidence showed there had been “misconduct” from one or more of the jurors.
He concluded one juror had telephoned a journalist last Thursday to say some jury members planned to have a private night inspection of the death scene of model Caroline Byrne.
The judge added such a visit would be contrary to his specific instructions given at the start of the New South Wales Supreme Court trial last week.
Wood, 45, has pleaded not guilty to murdering 24-year-old Ms Byrne in June 1995 by throwing her over the cliff at The Gap, in Sydney’s east. (news)
