Twiggy has been
named as the U.K. face of Olay Definity. Twenty-five years ago, Twiggy appears in an ad campaign for Oil of Olay, the company's first skincare product. Now she's back and ready to sell more skincare products to a demographic that loves anti-aging products.
Twiggy, who turns 60 in September, last fronted a TV ad campaign for the Procter & Gamble-owned beauty brand in 1985. At the time the range was known as Oil of Ulay.
P&G has signed Twiggy, who most recently appeared in a TV campaign celebrating Marks & Spencer's 125th anniversary, in a one-year deal to promote the Olay Definity range that "goes beyond fighting the appearance of wrinkles".

"Some of our consumers will remember Twiggy's first campaign," said Carla Berry, P&G beauty and grooming spokeswoman. "But what is most important is that she is a relevant role model for mature modern women today."
Twiggy has had a very long modeling career and she still looks fabulous, although we don't the photographer did her justice in this ad.

Debbie Rowe has broken her silence and in an new interview today says that she wants custody of her and Michael Jackson's children. Debbie says she will take DNA tests to prove she is the biological mother of Paris and Prince Michael I, and will submit to psychological testing as well. She says it is time for her to "step up" and be there for the children now that Michael is gone. Debbie said that she has visitation rights under their agreement, but that it was made very difficult for her to see the children or to reschedule a date, saying "We had an agreement... he didn't keep his end. It hasn't been easy. It's been painful." Debbie testified for Michael at his trial on child molestation charges and apparently expected to have more time with the children afterwards. But that didn't happen.
"I want my children," Rowe said during a 90-minute phone conversation Thursday morning with Chuck Henry of KNBC in Los Angeles.
Rowe said she was willing to submit to any testing, including DNA, to prove that she is the children's true biological mother. Rowe also said she would submit to psychological testing.
She also said she would seek a restraining order to keep Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, away from the children.
The agreement does allow for visitation, but Rowe said it's a very difficult process.
"I am stepping up," Rowe said. "I have to."
Rowe said she was still grieving. She said she decided she had to seek custody after Jackson's death.
*****
Rowe said she was concerned about splitting up the children. She said she did not expect the court to grant custody of the third child, but added that she would be willing to accept custody.
This is a huge development in the case. The fact that she is willing to submit to whatever tests the court wants her to have is a good sign. We also think it's an excellent idea that she get a restraining order denying Joe Jackson the right to see the children. Michael spoke many times of the horrifying verbal and physical abuse he received from his father; Joe Jackson shouldn't be allowed anywhere near those kids. No doubt Michael told Debbie many things about his childhood. After all, they were close friends for years in addition to being married.
David and Victoria look smoking hot in their new ads for the Fall/Winter campaign for Emporio Armani underwear. The husband and wife team will appear on giant billboards in many major cities, and will no doubt attract quite a bit of attention.
Jermaine Jackson came to Neverland Ranch to talk with Matt Lauer about his brother Michael's death. In a very emotional interview, Jermaine discusses the loss of his little brother, how he always believed in his innocence of the charges against him, and how much he loved Michael and even wished that he had died in his brother's place. Jermaine said that a therapist recommended that the family allow Michael's three children to see his body after he died. Jermaine was opposed to it at first, but relented. Take a look:

There was some nervous laughter as Kendra said her vows. Take a look:
One Jonas Brother down, two more to go: Kevin Jonas is engaged to be married.
Kevin is engaged to Danielle Deleasa, 21, who he has been dating for two years.
Deleasa, 22, met Kevin—the JoBro who has managed to have a private life—in May 2007 while their families were vacationing in the Bahamas.
"Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage," parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. said in a statement. "Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date."
A rep for Kevin confirmed that he showed up at Deleasa's New Jersey home this morning with a ring he codesigned with Jacob & Co., and popped the question at her doorstep.
But while thousands of girls would love to be in Deleasa's shoes—or at least also in a position to attend a wedding where Joe and Nick Jonas will be—the former hairdresser tells People she didn't know who Kevin was when she first met him.
Way to play coy, honey.
This definitely has a Hanson vibe about it. Why get married so young? In any event, we wish them all the best.

Sarah Palin is featured in the latest issue of Runner's World. Sarah Palin is a dedicated runner. She's dedicated enough that she runs in temperatures of 20 to 30 below zero. Sarah Palin tells Runners World, "Winter isn't as much fun, but even when it's 20 or 30 below and pitch black, I still try to get out."
In the interview Sarah Palin also says she could beat President Obama in a long distance race. When asked if she could beat the President, Sarah Palin said, "I betcha I'd have more endurance. My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four marathon."
She would challenge the President in basketball but it would have to be H-O-R-S-E instead of one-on-one because she is worried about President Obama's height advantage.
Our President, I'm told, is a runner. Would you ever run with him?
I would, absolutely. I would and people have asked if I'd ever challenge him to one-on-one because we both love basketball. But look, he towers over me and I wouldn't be complaining about an unfair advantage there, but maybe I'd do better playing H-O-R-S-E with him than one-on-one.
What about in a race? Could you beat the president?
I betcha I'd have more endurance. My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four marathon. It wasn't necessarily a good running time, but it proves I have the endurance within me to at least gut it out and that is something, if you ever talk to my old coaches they'd tell you, too. What I lacked in physical strength or skill I made up for in determination and endurance. So if were a long race that required a lot of endurance I'd win.

The New York Postreports that Christian book publisher Zondervan has delayed a book called Love is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories. The book, originally set for an October release, has lost some of its appeal now that the Gosselins have filed for divorce.
The star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is in the middle of a painfully public divorce from husband Jon Gosselin.
Suddenly, the book jacket promise -- "an inside look at one of America's most close-knit families" -- doesn't have the same ring it used to.
The book features Kate's recipes, tips on eating organically and "meaningful mealtime blessings," according the publisher's site.
There were already reports that the book might get delayed.
This book may have been delayed but Kate Gosselin shouldn't have any trouble getting future book contracts. She certainly has no trouble keeping her name in the news and gossip blogs.
