KELLAN Lutz has a new lady in his life.
The actor, 26, has hooked up with actress Sharni Vinson.
“I’m very happily with someone,” Lutz said.
“She’s a happy person, which really just clicks with me. It’s just great to have someone you can smile with all the time. It’s really special.
Vinson, 28, was equally effusive when she spoke to Australia’s Herald Sun at the Immortals premiere on Monday.
“We met in a chemistry reading for Step Up 3D. We kind of were doing our own thing and not in touch, and then he got in touch and I was like, ‘Hey,’” the actress recalled.
This interview was done by Patinya Boonto for HommeEssential. It was done last summer but I think it is still hot. Marcel Has that face which is angelic and sexy at the same time. His look is sincere and the features are manly in a different way. In a different way because one observer might say feminine but when you really look at his face features I find them delicate manly. Enjoy. adamfoxie*

Canadian-born Marcel Jacques Castenmiller is one of the most occupied models in the industry. His angelic face and delicate frame effortlessly mesmerise clients and everyone he meets. He’s truly a muse and a source of inspiration for the major fashion houses’ designers as well as notorious photographers which has led to relentlessly bookings. His success in modelling career is attributed to not only his eye-catching appearance but also his charming personality and unique character. He’s starred in several international campaigns including Tommy Hilfiger SS 11 & FW 11, OVS & Costume National SS 11, Versace FW 10, Gucci Eyewear SS10 and Kenzo SS 09 & FW 09. And he’s also featured in numerous editorials such as Slurp Magazine, GQ Japan, Crash Magazine, GQ Italia, Numero Tokyo, Vogue Italia, Dazed & Confused, Vogue Hommes Japan and many more to take the newsstands by storm.
He shares with us his personal life and views on modelling business.
Versace FW10 by Mario Testino
Patinya: To kick off the interview please tell us a little bit background of yourself.
Marcel: My Parents were born in the Netherlands. My Father came from a Dutch background and my Mother with a mix of Indonesian and South American background. After Marriage they moved to the Canadian Province of Alberta. I was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1986. My younger Brother was born in 1988 and my parents decided to move to British Columbia, where I was raised to the age of 18. I studied at a High school in Coquitlam and after graduation applied and was accepted at the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in Vancouver. Patinya: How did you get discovered?
Marcel: In 2007. I was arranged an appointment to visit DNA through the photographer Ryan McGinley.

Patinya: How do you balance your personal life and modelling career?
Marcel: There isn't a real need to balance anything. Modelling is very easy career. My personal life consists of 80% of each year and only several weeks are devoted to shows or shoots. Patinya: What do your family and friends think about you being a model? Do they treat you differently?
Marcel: My Family is very happy I get to have an opportunity to travel & network. I'm not treated differently, they are happy I managed leaving my hometown for New York City and I believe my family & friends understand how this temporary career helps to me eventually achieve certain goals.
Patinya: What do you have to sacrifice to become a model?
Marcel: Not very much. Dating is the hardest. When you travel 1 to 3 months straight and occasionally on-call then having a girlfriend in New York City can be difficult. It's even harder if they live in a different City than your home base. Not to mention if they are also a model who does the same.

Patinya: A stereotype of a ‘male model’ is that they’re dumb, what’s your view on this?
Marcel: Sometimes it's true. It's the worst stereotype. I can easily find myself avoiding the words "Male Model" when I am asked what I do. Patinya: What do you think about fashion industry nowadays? What’s the best part? And the worst?
Marcel: I don't really follow fashion so I don't really have an opinion.
Patinya: What’s your opinion about designer's obsession with skinny models?
Marcel: I understand why models are skinny and tall, most designers worry about sizes after the work they do in the drawing room. It's easy for them to work on their art and design when they stick to the same measurements. Although discrimination towards people who are different proportions is not acceptable, I try not to let most of fashion industries requirements bother me. It's like how in the past the rich were known to be very well fed and larger than what now seems to be an average weight and size. But I'm sure it was difficult then for weak, tall or skinny people during the middle ages. I feel lucky my parents have passed on genes where I am the size I am but it's just the way it is. I would be just the same if it were different only maybe not being interviewed by you haha.
Interview Magazine by Craig McDean
Patinya: Do you prefer runway or shoot?
Marcel: I would say runway because it's very simple, although it can take a lot of downtime. The week of running around for castings before shows start become the difficult part of runway. Shoot can be fun on and off depending on how the photographer works. If they don't know what they want it can take a long annoying time.
Patinya: What’s your most memorable modelling job?
Marcel: Going to Tokyo for a 2-month contract.
Patinya: What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever done on set?
Marcel: I've jumped onto a wild horse while completely naked and rode it for a couple seconds before falling off.
Patinya: Are you comfortable being naked in front of the camera?
Marcel: Yep. (Prefer nude outdoors than in a studio)
Patinya: Since you’re in a competitive industry, how do you handle rejection? What’s the worst comment you’ve ever had from the clients?
Marcel: It isn't my goal to succeed as a model. I do this for financial gain but not for personal enjoyment. Being rejected by Gucci vs. Prada has no difference and almost no impact on me. Especially since jobs come and go every day.Clients don't ever comment badly and if they had I can't remember it happening.
Patinya: Has anyone asked you to cut your hair? Would you do it?
Marcel: Not at all. Yes I would.
Patinya: What’s your definition of beauty?
Marcel: I can find a dirty, hot summer day in Brooklyn a beautiful sight. But also appreciate being in the woods on a rainy day in British Columbia. If it seems real it is beautiful. Although I've been in a suburb that seemed very unnatural and it also struck a chord. Life is beautiful and so is Death and all that come in between.
Slurp Magazine by Saverio Cardia
Patinya: What’s your most marked characteristic?
Marcel: I'm very easy going and kind, I don't really have much to get angry about and even if I do I almost never let it out. Patinya: What is your personal style?
Marcel: Discrete
Patinya: How do you kill time during the shoots or the shows?
Marcel: Reading.
Patinya: Please name things that you can’t miss when you’re travelling.
Marcel: There is not much I need to bring except essentials and my camera. I can always find an English book when I'm in a major city and film is still easy to find for my camera. When I am traveling I try to send a postcard, that’s very important to me. Patinya: You’re currently in a relationship, how do you guys deal with the long distance while you have to travel a lot?
Marcel: With traveling the situation always seems to be worse for the person not traveling. But New York City is a fun city and we basically have to keep ourselves entertained by friends while one another are away.
Patinya: Any bad habits? And what’s your guilty pleasure?
Marcel: I'm working on my bad habits such as smoking. My guilty pleasure is whiskey.
Patinya: What would you be, if you weren’t a model?
Marcel: A student.
Patinya: People would be surprised to know that you……..?
Marcel: I have to wear prescription glasses.
Patinya: Why did you deactivate your twitter account?
Marcel: There was nothing much to say and I would like to spend less time looking at screens.
Patinya: If you could be an animal, what would you be? And why?
Marcel: A Fox, because I adore wolves but they are too tough and I'm more of a sneaky creature anyway. Patinya: What would you like to find in a FedEx parcel if you got castaway?
Marcel: If I was stranded on an island the best thing to find in a FedEx parcel would be a towel haha.
Patinya: Please describe yourself in three words?
Marcel: Emotional, Passionate & Patient

Patinya: What is a successful life? What makes you happy?
Marcel: A successful Life is one where you are happy. You can set goals but always whatever the outcome you are satisfied. Always know where you want to live and who you want to be around. And adjustment is very important, if financially I cannot continue my life style I have now I will adjust to whatever I will be doing or wherever I am. Patinya: How do you see yourself in 5 years from now? What’s your future plan?
Marcel: I will be living in either New York, Amsterdam, Berlin or Tokyo. I will either have gotten my masters or not but would ultimately have a career that has some kind of connection to visual Art.
Although Marcel’s career is inexorable and with all the attention he’s still very down to earth and can enjoy simple pleasure. He’s strongly passionate about visual arts and photography. In his leisure time he likes to experiment some art projects with his friends and lately his collection of photographs have been published and exhibited at some galleries. Apparently modelling is not his ultimate goal to achieve however we would expect to see him having a career related to that in the future.

Now that even more accusations have been voiced against former IMF Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, it’s not a huge shocker that his wife, journalist Anne Sinclair is getting a tad irritated with her husband.
Earlier this month, word emerged that Strauss-Kahn had allegedly brought call girls to IMF headquarters in D.C. and, horrifyingly, may have (had?) ties to an underage prostitution ring. Police are in the process of investigating his possible connection to the network — allegations that would send any spouse running.
When these new accusations cropped up 10 or so days ago, Sinclair still seemed unlikely to depart. If anyone had seen it all before — and put up with his indiscretions in the past — it’s Sinclair, she of bullet-proof skin, apparently.
When the initial rape allegations were made against DSK this past spring, the incident created a tidal wave of speculation about how it all would turn “misogynistic reflexes” (as the Guardian described them) in France on their head. The prevailing thought was that Strauss-Kahn embodied the purported hedonism and sexism rampant in France — and that his downfall was a kind of precursor to a rapid dismantling of untenable gender relations there. His scandal had bought to light “the culture that allows French men to see female colleagues as fair game,” one Guardian columnist explained.
And yet shockingly little seemed to change within his own marriage. Even before the rape case against him was dropped, Strauss-Kahn and his wife were spotted vacationing in the Berkshires this summer, seemingly unconcerned with the glare of the public eye. The pair has seemingly carried on like a normal (albeit wildly wealthy) married couple.
So what happened now? A 180? At least according to one report from French paper Le Figaro (as related by the Daily Mail). The report, which is based on allegedly anonymous “friends” (so take that for what it’s worth), claims that Sinclair has had enough. According to this version of events, she’s demanded that Strauss-Kahn pay her for the hundreds of thousands that she shelled out for his defense. And, although it doesn’t specifically name divorce, it does claim that she’s reached the end of her rope.
Is this to be believed? After a couple decades with him, we’d be surprised if she weren’t tiring of the “misogynistic reflexes” at this point.
The previous day, the SP Times duo had introduced us to Hy Levy, a fomerly successful "registrar" who brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars to Scientology each and every week by convincing church members to max out their credit cards, pull from their 401Ks, and draw from equity on their houses.
Today, we meet some of those church members who gave and gave and gave, particularly after Scientology leader David Miscavige put out new versions of L. Ron Hubbard's books in 2007.
One of the most frequent questions we get about Scientology from people we meet is some variation of this: "You've written that the church is actually pretty small and losing people every day. So where is all this money coming from for new buildings?"
We have to admit, we never really had a very good answer for that. Until now.
The SP Times series, with most of it still to come, has already made us much more aware of how the "regging" process works, and how Scientologists constantly endure a hard-sell approach not only to pay for auditing services, but to make outright donations for new buildings, for memberships, and for books they already have copies of.
(I still can't decide which of Hy Levy's revelations hit me the hardest -- that in 16 years of 12-hour days pressuring fellow church members to fork over huge amounts of money he'd taken a total of five days off work; that after raising about $200 million for Scientology over his career while making only $50 a week, he was sent off with a severance check for $500; or that he was so dedicated to his job he considered his dying mother a "distraction.")
Tobin and Childs once again reach deep to bring us the facts and hard-to-get numbers:
Scientology rings up astonishing sums: $100 million a year just from services sold in Clearwater, a minimum of $250 million since 2006 for the International Association of Scientologists, tens of millions for new church buildings called Ideal Orgs, and untold millions more from selling new volumes of church scripture.
When you're paying workers only $50 a week, those kinds of sums really go far.
In today's installment, the SP Times duo flip the coin and look at some church members who were the subject of Scientology's high-pressure sales pitches.
Watching his video, I couldn't help liking Orange County, California Scientologist Luis Garcia. He finally got fed up when a Scientology VP named Bob Adams tried to pressure him into buying 32 sets of the "Basics," the newly remastered set of books and lecture CDs that Miscavige announced in 2007. (The books alone cost about $450 a set, with the lectures, sets cost $3,000.)
On the other hand, Garcia apparently was a pretty easy mark over the years:
Through their climb in Scientology -- Rocio Garcia reached the second highest level, OT VII -- they contributed $510,000 to help build a new church in Orange County. They donated $340,000 to the Super Power construction project in Clearwater and $65,000 to an initiative to preserve Hubbard's writings on titanium plates. Luis gave $50,000 to Scientology's membership group, the International Association of Scientologists.
The previous day, Tobin and Childs wrote about yoga instructor Brian Culkin, who has been mentioned here at Runnin' Scared previously, because he managed to give Scientology more than $300,000 even though he was involved in it for only about a year:
Culkin describes a nightmarish scenario, with teenagers and other church members hitting him up from the time he arrived in Clearwater with pitches for donations in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Scientology responded to the SP Times by saying that all churches ask for donations.
Sure. Of course they do. But can you imagine your neighborhood Presbyterian church announcing that it had got the commas and semicolons cleaned up in the Bible, and now asked all of its members to spend tens of thousands of dollars for new books or risk losing their eternities?
Or worse. As Lisa Hamilton, formerly a high-ranking "ethics" officer at the Clearwater base explained to Tobin and Childs, it was made clear to members that the way to make up for transgressions was to buy more copies of books.
She said one parishioner declared "suppressive" by the church bought 20 sets from a senior Sea Org officer, hoping it would return him to good standing. Similar offers were made to former Sea Org members who wanted to stay active in the church but couldn't. They had left the staff without paying their "freeloader debt" -- the bill for services they'd received for free while on staff. "That to me was pure and simple blackmail," said Hamilton, who oversaw base personnel, security, ethics and other areas.
Wow. And this thing is only beginning. We hear the duo will take tomorrow off, publish part 3 of their series on Wednesday, and then give us parts 4, 5, and 6 on Sunday, Monday, and the big finish next Tuesday.
I think I'll have to hurry up and do my own little scoop -- about an overseas Ideal Org adventure -- tomorrow, when they're not publishing another installment, if I want to get a word in edgewise.
UPDATE: Our friend and regular commenter Mark Miglio for some reason has been somewhat shy of late, sending us e-mailed responses to our stories rather than posting them in our comments section. But I thought our readers would be interested to see how Mark responded to today's story about the latest Tobin and Childs installment. So here it is:
Here's how I see today's explosive installment:
A simple amends project: "One parishioner declared 'suppressive' by the church bought 20 sets from a senior Sea Org officer, hoping it would return him to good standing". Great, thanks for your donation. Very well done. We are happy to welcome you back, but please to be more ethical in your future actions.
Other amends projects: "Similar offers were made to former Sea Org members who wanted to stay active in the church but couldn't. They had left the staff without paying their 'freeloader debt' -- the bill for services they'd received for free while on staff." Only a nut should say, "'That to me was pure and simple blackmail'."
-----------------------
My take:
There is the war of the matrix that is ongoing; but you, a Scientologist, should know that already. I simply ask that everyone make a self-sacrifice. Don't wait for us to ask for donations. Please be proactive and come to us and offer as much as you can.
We, much more than others -- and that means you too -- are responsible for the security of this whole planet. Be ever strong and ever loyal. It is going to take a whole lot of donations to make just a dent in the societal downward spiral that we are confronting.
-----------------------
Levy didn't seem to mention that he most certainly had gotten a lot of donation commissions for himself, for all the materials that he sold to the students that had regged for courses: "he was sent off with a severance check for $500".
Levy went way 'out ethics' when he said that he was so dedicated to his job that "he considered his dying mother a 'distraction'". No decent Scientologist would feel that way. Clearly, sad and counter to our doctrines.
Academic course materials are always very expensive in colleges. And our books h a d to be redone because too many people where confused by the mis-transcribed original editions (myself included): "can you imagine your neighborhood Presbyterian church announcing that it had got the commas and semicolons cleaned up in the Bible and now asked all of its members to spend tens of thousands of dollars for new books." Hey, commas are important, too. And leaving out words, like "the" can grossly skew the whole meaning of a paragraph.
No sensible Scientologist would say to another, or believe it themselves, that "...all of its members [should or must] spend tens of thousands of dollars for new books or risk losing their eternities". Give me a break, this is patently ridiculous.
What we have under consideration, here, is a voluntary amends project with the goal that every public library in the world should have at least one set of the basic books: "Lisa Hamilton, formerly a high-ranking "ethics" officer at the Clearwater base explained to Tobin and Childs, it was made clear to members that the way to make up for transgressions was to buy more copies of books". This is only one of the many ways that a grossly errant Scientologist can make up for transgressions; other ways, like doing volunteer work will also be looked upon very favorably.
Do you feel a little bit better about us, now. Questions, comments?
After donning a fan-made "Courtney Be My Bitch" T-shirt on Sunday night, Nov. 13, at the SWU Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Courtney Love jettisoned said garment and the black tube top she'd been wearing underneath, treating the crowd to an impromptu strip show.
Once topless, the 47-year-old Hole frontwoman continued singing and strumming her Rickenbacker, the Daily Mail reports.
Love has a history of such behavior, and in addition to reportedly getting naked for a New York Times reporter last year, the renowned troublemaker flashed David Letterman in 2004, copying an on-air stunt pulled by Drew Barrymore in 1995.
Love's topless rocking wasn't the only noteworthy thing about Sunday's Brazilian gig. At another point in the show, a fan held up a picture of the singer's late husband, Kurt Cobain, prompting a rather angry response.
"I don't need to see a picture of Kurt, a-----e, and I'm going to have you f---ing removed if you keep holding that up," Love said, according to the NME. "I'm not Kurt, I have to live with his s--- and his ghost and his kid every day, and throwing that up is stupid and rude and I'm going to beat the f--- out of you if you do it again."
She then stormed off the stage, and after a member of her crew urged the crowd to chant "Foo Fighters are gay!" she returned for a bit of Dave Grohl bashing.

"I don't care what you listen to at home, but if a guy takes off money off my kid's table, f--- him," she said, presumably referring to her well-publicized legal battles with the Foos frontman and former Nirvana drummer.
While the stripping and ranting likely cut into the Hole's actual performance time, it's rare for musicians to lose both their cool and their top in the same set. In that sense, Sao Paulo should consider itself lucky.

A man who claims to be reality starlet Kim Kardashian's former publicist says she only (briefly) married Kris Humphries because she was contractually obligated to get hitched. Photo: REUTERS/Danny Moloshok
Rumors that Kim Kardashian staged her 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries — a union that ended earlier this month when the reality star filed for divorce — have been given new life. Jonathan Jaxson, who claims to have worked with Kardashian in the past, alleges that her marriage and $10 million wedding were a loveless sham orchestrated to earn the star more press and fulfill contracts. But should we credit accusations from Jaxson, who is apparently shopping around a book? Here, a brief guide:
Jaxson claims to be Kardashian's former publicist. He says he was hired in 2007, just after her sex tape was leaked, and continued working with her until 2009, when the two parted ways because of "a dispute over money,"says Mack Rawden at Cinema Blend. Team Kim says that's just not true. According to Kardashian lawyer Marty Singer, Jaxson "was never Kim's publicist," and Kardashian claims that she and Jaxson worked together only once several years ago. Kardashian can supposedly "hardly remember him."
Appearing on the Elvis Duran Morning Show radio program, Jaxson alleged that Kardashian's wedding was a sham. "She knew weeks before getting married she didn't want to do it," he says. "She's never gotten over [ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush]." Then, in an appearance on Good Day L.A., Jaxson said, "It was obvious that it was staged." Though Jaxson presented no evidence — and never clarified where he got his information — he insisted the E! channel already had contracts in place to film the wedding, and that Kardashian was obligated to fulfill the contracts. Everything "was staged to a T," Jaxson claims. "Everything was written down."
She's lawyered up. Kardashian hired "legal pit bull Marty Singer to put on a muzzle on" Jaxson, TMZ reports. Singer, who has represented Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charlie Sheen, told TMZ, "Everything that he is saying if false and nonsense. This guy is in it to promote himself for his 15 minutes of fame." Kardashian claims that Jaxson has damaged her reputation and is suing him for a minimum of $200,000. She's also seeking a private arbitration to silence Jaxson immediately.
None that he's presented publicly, but his claims of having conspired with Kardashian on media stunts get fairly specific. He says he helped tip off the paparazzi in 2007, when Kardashian exited a Beverly Hills jewelry store — a bid to generate engagement buzz. "She was going shopping with her grandmother and her mom and we said, 'Let's do something to get more press for you," Jaxson alleges. "She said, 'Perfect. Let me go to a ring store and walk out as if Reggie Bush were proposing to me."
Jaxson is peddling a book that chronicles his alleged experiences working for celebrities, which casts doubt on these latest claims, says Aida Ekberg atGather. "It's sad what people will do to get their 15 minutes of fame these days." Plus, asks Rawden, how on earth could Jaxson know for sure that Kardashian's wedding was a money-making ploy if he stopped working for her two years ago?
