Carolyn Giles, a model with a decade long career, is suing Volvo, Hertz and her modeling agency, Ford Models for $23 million, after her image was licensed out out to other companies for use — like an escort service in down under!
According to Giles, the photo was exclusively taken for the advertising of Volvo's S40 model car, but then turned up in an ad for an Australian dating website, that labeled her as a "Swedish escort." Naturally, Giles has been going bananas since.
The soon-to-be ex Mr. Kardashian's sister Kaela Humphries recently shot the campaign for The Limited's plus-size line eloquii, making it her first major gig since signing with Ford Models' plus-size division last month.
After seeing these two shots, we think it's pretty obvious the camera likes her.
Despite the whirlwind of negative publicity Kris Humphries garnered through his reality divorce with Kim Kardashian, his sister made it through with a modeling contract!
Yes, Kaela Humphries has signed with Ford Models in their Ford + division.
The agency announced the news in a press release:
The division that brought you Crystal Renn, Ashley Graham, Candice Huffine, and Marquita Pring among others is excited at the prospect of bringing this beautiful, engaging young woman to markets worldwide. A true size 16-18, Kaela will be in a league of her own.
Kaela earned attention in the modeling industry at the Richie Rich fashion show when she walked their catwalk during New York Fashion Week. She was also on the semi-reality show Remodeled.
VMAN magazine is once again looking for the next big name in male modeling (sorry ladies!) and the prizes are pretty sweet.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:
"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."
That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:
"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."
She added:
"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."
Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...
As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
