International model and actress Rachel Hunter will present a major new reality series to find the next new supermodel. The the series follows a familiar format which involves the final twelve candidates living together for up to three weeks in a house and will culminate in a tense nailbiting live catwalk final where the final three girls will go head-to-head before the winner, is chosen by public vote. Open auditions have already taken place in key cities across Britain and a group 12 fresh-faced hopefuls are about to set off on a journey which, for one girl, will lead to the prize of a modelling contract with top UK agency Select. Alongside Rachel Hunter, a panel of experts will be on hand to mentor the girls, offering much needed guidance on the highs and lows of the modelling industry. In each programme the participants face daily assignments that will help determine who's got what it takes to become a successful model. The challenge for each of the girls will be to impress the panel to be put into the next stage of the competition, with the girl who hasn't quite made the grade eliminated. The whole day to day action, laughs, fights, tantrums, all will be recorded by fly-on-the-wall cameras as the girls grow from hopeful wannabes to confident assured cover girls. However, with 12 ambitious young women all living under one roof and so much at stake, will they be able toremain freinds whilst wishing the others to failure, the tense uncertain environment will test the girls to the limits, promising some great TV moments and a lot of high drama. The first show goes out on the 23rd during which Rachel Hunter will reveal the ultimate collection of twelve budding models, chosen after an exhaustive search around the country, where hundreds of hopefuls flocked to auditions come rain or shine. Over the following three weeks, Rachel and fellow panel members Tandy Anderson, Co-Director of Select Model Management, and top photographer Perou will mentor the girls as they embark on their rollercoaster journey of shoots and assignments on the road to fulfilling their ambition to become a supermodel. The modelling world is tough and full of surprises and now the hard work begins. But not all of them will make it through the first hurdles - so who will be the first to go? Parfums Christian Dior is also to sponsor 'Make Me a Supermodel', which will hunt for next face in modelling and their advertising campaign will include two models having a cat fight and the strapline "It's going to get ugly", and will run in magazines and posters, the catwalk is going to get tough.

Reality obsession Are there any public cruelties that can't be justified with the words, 'Sorry, this is a tough business'? If moral philosophers ever come to examine the early 21st-century's obsession with reality TV, one mantra may prove of special interest to their investigations. Are there any public cruelties, they will ask, that in the end could not be justified with the words, "Sorry, but this is a tough business." They may wonder how an expression best suited to explaining the need for detention without trial came to be deployed largely at a few teenagers with attention-seeking insecurities. And they will very likely find the tipping point in Channel Five's Make Me A Supermodel. It seems one thing to wheel out the expression in order to explain to some tone-deaf chap that his rendition of Sailing has doubled as his farewell tour, but quite another to use it to excuse telling a teenage girl "you're boring." And fat. Mainly fat. For readers who only watch television for the news and the wildlife programmes, Make Me A Supermodel is Five's latest foray into reality TV. And before I'm accused of being snobbish about the genre, I speak as someone who found the footage of David Beckham's former mistress ********** a pig on The Farm one of the most brilliantly, awfully hilarious TV moments of last year. Apologies, but there you go. In many ways, Make Me A Supermodel deviates from the standard reality formula not one jot by providing a dozen or so aspiring models with a jazzy house, three pseudo-authoritative mentors and regular eliminations. On the evidence of the first two shows, the girls are competing for the chance to have the worst eating disorder in three weeks' time. I think they get a photo spread at the back of Glamour magazine too, though one imagines the bulimia will endure longer. Providing pastoral care are three judges: model Rachel Hunter, some truly ghastly model agency crone called Tandy Anderson and photographer "Perou" (the inverted commas will stay until he takes up this challenge and produces his birth certificate. See also Vin Diesel). There is no point wasting too much time analysing what our authority figures bring to the table. Rachel has always displayed a healthy desire to discuss her emotional life with the media in exchange for product promotion, while Tandy - a woman so apparently jealous of her young charges that she seems hell bent on destabilising as many of them as possible - may well be the most poisonous cow to appear on television since the BSE crisis. Sorry, Tandy, but this is a tough business. Mentoring has thus far involved driving a wedge between twin sisters, telling the least confident and least middle-class entrant "You're tarty", making everyone cry, and describing half the contestants as "****** up". Only half to go, then. But this is the special magic of Make Me A Supermodel, or Give Me An Eating Disorder, as it may as well be known. This is where reality TV starts straying into the uncharted territory of health, and those of us who took guilty pleasure at watching dreams being crushed on Pop Idol may find it slightly less acceptable to watch the same thing happening here, only with a nudge towards anorexia thrown into the farewell package when only one can win. And so despite the horrifying self-absorption of many of the girls, each time someone pinches a millimetre of fat on their hip bones and sneeringly demands "Do you eat a lot?", you have to admire their attempts at stoicism and loathe the pathetic faux-honesty of the judges. Had any of them a single ounce of decency, each time they trotted out the words "Sorry, but this is a tough business", they would add "because it's populated by exploitative, insecure, ill-mannered people like me." How this unpleasant little game will pan out is as yet unknown, but given that right now it's playing like Rollerball with crash dieting instead of ice hockey, the omens are not great. Personally, I hope they all make the cover of Vogue and that it brings them whatever it is they're looking for. However, on the very off chance that doesn't happen, I'd like to see a kind of Jonathan E figure rise up among the ladies and shake off the shackles of being broken in for our entertainment. And while they're at it, destroy Tandy. mediagaurdian |

Quote: RACHEL HUNTER reportedly threatened to walk off the set of Richard and Judy before her interview last week when she heard that Rod Stewart had announced his engagement to Penny Lancaster. The model, who was in her dressing room waiting to talk about her new reality show, Make Me A Supermodel, apparently locked herself in and refused to come out until they guaranteed not to ask her anything about the engagement. Richard and Judy, who had not heard the news until Rachel made her stand, were stunned by her reaction. "She's never been reticent before about Rod, giving interviews left, right and centre. What was the problem now? Next morning in the newspapers we found out. That very afternoon, as she arrived at the studio, she was told Rod had announced his engagement to Penny Lancaster. Allegedly she was furious, not least because she was in the middle of promoting her first major TV programme. She felt Rod had made his announcement just to upstage her." Rod, who is due to marry Lancaster in Scotland in December, may risk losing a considerable portion of his fortune to Hunter once his divorce is finalised. She apparently signed a pre-nuptial agreement which would have ensured her $9.5 million of his $190 million when she married him in 1989. However, now incensed by his plans to remarry, she is expected to take advantage of the law in California, which could entitle her to up to half of his money.

I just noticed this. I know she's had her marching orders now but she actually comes from Aberdeen.  I'm surprised they forgot to mention she was former Miss Scotland.

| Post subject: | Supermodel schoolgirl halts studies |
An 18-year-old schoolgirl is putting her studies on hold after winning TV reality show Make Me A Supermodel. A-level student Alice Sinclair was set to take up a place studying development geography at the London School of Economics in September, but her plans changed when she was named surprise winner of the modelling contest. Her prize includes a year's contract with Select, the model agency which represents Sienna Miller, as well as a trip to the Maldives for a photo shoot with a glossy magazine. "I'm ecstatic," she told the Evening Standard. "It just hasn't sunk in yet - I keep expecting the judges to turn around and say, 'Sorry, we made a mistake, you haven't really won'." Alice, from Pinner, Middlesex, added: "I've always been a bit gangly and a bit weird looking, and a few people had said to me, 'You should try modelling'. "One day I went into the Select agency and they told me about the competition. They were having auditions the next day, so I went along after school in my uniform. Next thing I know, here I am." Alice was set to take her exams at the all-girl Henrietta Barnett School in Golders Green, north London, this summer and start university in September but said: "I think I'm going to have to go to my teachers and beg them to let me postpone until January." She beat bookies' favourite Kate Ellery, 18, from Cardiff, and Joanna Downes, 22, from Hertfordshire. Citing Catherine Zeta-Jones as her style icon she vowed not to succumb to the pressures of the modelling industry and lose weight, saying: "If you're a girl, there's always pressure to be thinner, but in this industry you've got to be happy with the person you are." The show, broadcast on Five, was judged by Rod Stewart's ex-wife Rachel Hunter, who said: "There's just so much mystery about Alice, she has a lot of presence. That's what makes her special."

Rachel to hit the dancefloor SUPERMODEL Rachel Hunter looks set to dust off her dancing shoes to take part in a US reality show based on the hit BBC1 show Strictly Come Dancing. The beauty will be joined by ex-New Kids On The Block star Joey McIntyre and boxing champ Evander Holyfield in the show - Dancing With The Stars - which will pair celebrities with professional dancers. Just like the BBC show, the contestants will be judged by a panel of experts and also by viewers at home with one couple being eliminated each week. The celebs have already embarked on intense training in preparation for the first live show which will take place in front of a studio audience. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.Sun |
