Pageantry Magazine gives IMTA rave reviews!

The new issue of Pageantry magazine is out and IMTA is featured in a fantastic article! Their special coverage of IMTA's Los Angeles 2008 is available to read online on their official site!

Here's a quote from the article:
"If you have any serious Hollywood aspirations towards acting, dancing, modeling, singing or performing in the entertainment or fashion industry, this event is a must and offers an enormous opportunity that you absolutely cannot afford to pass up."

Pageantry featured IMTA alum Eva Longoria on the cover of the November 2007 issue. In the accompanying article, Eva recounted her pageant experience and how it led to her competing at an IMTA Convention. IMTA's week long conference is not a pageant but it is a showcase for aspiring models, actors, singers and dancers who want to show their potential to major market agents and scouts who are looking for new faces to represent. To read an article about crossover success (using pageant experience to launch a modeling or acting career at IMTA), please read Eve Matheson's excellent article from Pageantry's official site.

Time to barf-- People lists its 100 most beautiful people

People magazine has its annual magazine on the 100 people who are most likely to help them sell magazines. In years past, People limited it to 50, but now there's riveting fashion and beauty tidbits from 100 celebs and other dufuses. If you've ever had to the chance to read one of these write-ups about what makes Christina Applegate beautiful, you'd understand how nauseating they are. Kate Hudson offers that she never gets manicures and waxes her own legs. Wow.

Naturally we can't wait to see this issue

Mary J Blige

Jessica Alba and her baby's daddy

This is about as happy as Jessica Alba gets. She claimed in the interview that she loves being pregnant. We believe women when they say they love being pregnant. However, we do not believe Jessica Alba. She's about as sincere as Otto von Bismarck.

Isla Fisher

Jason Taylor

What the F? Rumer Willis?

She was supposed to be on the list of people who have benefited from nepotism the most.

Salma Hayek

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker

If they're still together in 5 years, we'll be shocked--- but then again Cathering Zeta Jones is still married to old-timer Michael Douglas.

Christina Applegate

Wow they airbrushed the hell out of her.

Jason Lee is having a baby with his new girlfriend

Several things we did not know about Jason:

He is a scientologist

He was married before

His is no long dating the mother of his first child named Pilot Inspektor.

A very bad photo of Leighton Meester

Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend = Clay Aiken

All three of them are starting to look alike.

We love Cynthia Nixon and Clay Aiken.

Gisele Bundchen really loves promoting her stuff

Spencer Pratt says he prays for Brody Jenner

The new way to live your life is to do absolutely nothing to make this world better and to spend all your free time telling people that you're praying for them.

Karina Smirnoff denies a break-up with scumbag Mario Lopez

They have absolutely not broken up. She says it's business as usual---she's remaining faithful and he's continuing to sleep with hundreds of women behind her back.

Scarlett Johansson's new video is more boring than reading a transcript from the WTO talks on product labeling

Someone encouraged Scarlett Johansson to have a singing career. That person was a man who was staring at her boobs the whole time. The video she made to accompany the Tom Waits' cover of "Falling Down" is very boring. It's almost as boring as the first season of The Hills.

Mindy McCready had an affair with Roger Clemens in the 1990s

We're assuming that it ended when she started living her life like a participant on the show "Cheaters".

Rodrigo Santoro and Jim Carrey film a scene for the movie "I Love You Phillip Morris" in Miami

Hilary Duff says she was forced to sing off-key for her role as a pop-star in War Inc.

She was forced to sing off-key? She was forced to sing off-key just like Paris Hilton is forced to act like a moron on the Simple Life.

Keeley Hazell has a record out

It's not as bad as Scarlett Johannson's, but then again-- that's not saying much.

Gwyneth Paltrow says that she tunes out bad rumors about her and her husband Chris Martin

Jessica Alba celebrates her birthday and is...... miserable!

What happened to our beloved Gary Dourdan?

Dear Gary,

It's sounds like you really like to get your drink on, and your hard drugs on.

We're thinking about you.

Jennifer Aniston poses for Smart Water

She's starting to look like she's had work done.

Lauren Conrad's new flavor of the month isn't bad looking

She is now dating Doug Reinhardt, the brother of Laguna Beach season 2's Casey (the one with the really bad white blonde hair extensions--- which probably doesn't narrow it down much).

Paula Abdul doesn't just see double, she also hears double

Few people in this world are higher than Jason Castro. Paula Abdul is one of those people. If you watched American Idol the other night, you know what we mean.

Ashlee Simpson is going back to reality tv

Joe is putting her back to a realm where she can annoy people by both singing and being herself.

Bar Refaeli poses for Russian Elle magazine

Most of the photos were of Bar reading a book and giggling. Possibly she was reading one of Ethan Hawke's great novels.

The Hills are on the cover of Rolling Stone

Hopefully the article is more interesting than the show.

The recap is that the feud between Lauren and Heidi is still going on.

Heidi is praying for Lauren daily.

Heidi and Lauren had to endure an awkward day for the photoshoot but never had to pose next to each other.

Riveting.
