Want to know what's happening in the world of glitz and glamour? Here's the latest on supermodels, style, designers and everything in-between!

We start out with supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady who have reportedly decided to sell their LA home.

The mansion, which is situated in the Brentwood neighbourhood of LA, has been listed by the couple at $50 million, reported Ace Showbiz.

The 14,000-square-foot house has many facilities like six bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a library, gym, infinity pool, waterfall and a moat.

The duo had invested USD 20 million to build the eco-friendly estate.

The couple has reportedly decided to relocate to Boston, where they will live in an equally stunning home.

"Bundchen had taken the lead on designing her family's home in Brookline. She knows how every room will look," said a source.

The 33-year-old model plans to speak to an architect via video-calling software FaceTime to talk about the design.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says she began to take a more systematic care of her skin after turning 41.

The Oscar-winner said in her efforts to keep her skin spotless, she carefully removes her make-up, reported People magazine.

"I try to always cleanse my skin and moisturise at night. I've gotten a lot better at it. I used to just wash my face with a wash cloth and water. But now I'm 41, so I need to be a girl and deal with products and put them on and stuff," Paltrow said.

"I still think a hot wash cloth is a really good exfoliator, and I still use it. But I put a cleanser on first. Exfoliation is super important," she added.

Nicole Faria has said that the reason why Indian beauties are not making it to the top at international beauty pageants is because winners are not being picked up on merit.

She said that a more deserving contestant loses to a mediocre contestant as the latter is organisers' favourite, FHM India magazine reported.

Faria said that how can such people be sent to international pageants and expected to win, asserting that they are not even trained properly.

She added that the level of competition is completely different at international platforms and a lot of skills are needed to crack them.

Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington has been roped in to be the face of Jimmy Choo's 2014 men's collection.

Jimmy Choo's creative director, Sandra Choi said she thinks that the 27-year-old will fit the role perfectly as the new face of the famous brand for this year's autumn winter campaign, reported E!Online.

"Kit perfectly embodies the Jimmy Choo man. He has a natural and alluring masculinity and an effortless sense of style. His cool attitude and smoldering sensuality belie a true British gentleman," Sandra said.

The Pompeii star is equally thrilled about landing his first major fashion campaign.

"I was very excited to be chosen as the face for such a highly regarded brand and to play a role in defining who the Jimmy Choo man is," Harington said.

The actor will model the range, which features shoes, bags and sunglasses, as well as the label's first men's fragrance Jimmy Choo Man, which will be released in September.

Apart from the men's line, the face for the women's line is Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, who appeared in the campaign in January this year.

Actress Lily Collins says finds waxing more painful than getting tattoos.

The 25-year-old Mirror Mirror star, who is a fan of body art said she ever minds the pain it takes to have a design etched onto her skin, reported E!Online.

"Look, women go through worse things. Waxing hurts more than tattoos. And tattoos are permanent, so if it takes a little pain to get there, that's okay," Collins said.

"I've always loved body art I remember being with my mom on Venice Beach when I was really young, and we walked by this guy on a Harley who was covered in tattoos.

"I was this little British girl, and I went up to him and said, 'Your tattoos are so pretty'," she added.

Collins said she still feels like a little girl dressing up for a big party whenever a red carpet invitation comes her way.

"The Met Ball? Being invited to something like that? Incredible! I still think, Why am I on the list? I still feel like a little girl dressing up and getting to go to a pretty party," she said.

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, who is considered as a fashion icon by many people, says her style is often influenced by women she spots on the streets.

However, the 48-year-old actress said she does not even know the names of these women, reported Contactmusic.

"It's been so cold in New York that bare legs seemed almost undoable... So I started wearing tights, then I saw a woman in Seattle wearing stirrups with a pump and thought, 'Maybe I'll start wearing them with a strap shoe'," Parker said.

"I am often inspired by women on the street whose names I'll never know," she added.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell says quitting her smoking habit has been harder than she thought it would be.

The 43-year-old supermodel said in her struggle to end smoking, she found out that it was easier to quit alcohol than cigarettes, reported Daily Mirror.

"People told me that cigarettes are harder to quit than alcohol. I didn't believe it, but you know what? It is harder," Campbell said.

"I'm not someone who wants to light up inside people's homes, including my own, and I don't want to stand outside on street corners anymore," she added.

The supermodel said even though she is determined to quit her habit, the thought of smoking still makes her desperate for a cigarette.

"It's still a struggle. In fact, just talking about it makes me crave one, so let's stop, please! But I am really trying. I choose not to drink today in my life because I find that I'm allergic to alcohol," she said.

"I have more energy and I have more fun than when I was drinking and I can hang out really late and get up early in the morning with no hangovers and still smile," she added.
