She’s the expert! Teresa Mannion just scored the most PERFECT role

Entertainment

Feb 7, 2016

The nation's sensation Teresa Mannion has just landed herself something spectacular, and frankly, it's a wonder nobody has thought about doing this before.

As we all know the presenter made herself famous following her brilliant weather report last year. She even made it on to Ellen.

"DON'T TAKE RISKS ON TREACHEROUS ROADS."

Teresa has been asked to front a new Road Safety Authority driving campaign.

“What I really love about the whole response to it is that there is an important safety message at the heart,” she told The Sun.

“The mantra is ‘don’t make unnecessary journeys and don’t take risks on treacherous roads’, and it’s a really important safety message, so much so, that the Road Safety Authority have asked me to record ads for them, for radio and online.

“They want me to be a road safety ambassador because they saw the value in it, so I was delighted about that.”

Perfect job for Teresa, don't you think?

The Biebs and Kendall are HOT AF in the new Calvin Klein campaign

Rumours about each of their love lives are rife for these two stars at the moment, but one thing's for sure, they can rock it in front of a camera.

The full spring 2016 campaign for Calvin Klein, which stars none other than Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber, has just been released.

The 21-year-old singer and 20-year-old model are both seen in three images from the campaign, while a flurry of other celebs also join in.

FKA Twigs and Kendrick Lamar are also featured in the ad, but Kendall and Justin take the biscuit.

You MUST see Calvin Harris in his latest venture- sans pants!

Well, as if we weren’t feeling a touch jealous of Tay-Tay herself already, her new love has to go and do this. We’re having a tough time concentrating after these photos caught our eye.

Not only is he the world’s highest paid DJ and boyfriend of the uber-famous Taylor Swift, now Calvin Harris has landed himself an Emporio Armani modelling campaign.

He really is the complete package! Pun absolutely intended. He is a very impressive male model.

In the brand’s 2015 Autumn campaign Calvin appears to have (dare we say it) out done former model David Beckham in the chiselled department. Just look at those abs!

The Scottish native has been making heads turn for quite a while now but he seems to have taken it to a whole new level in this latest set of photos.

The 31-year old has appeared for the brand before. Earlier this year he was featured, in all his glory, in their steamy spring campaign.

According to Giorgo Armani, "Calvin Harris is a truly cosmopolitan, dynamic young man who is capable of attracting the masses with his music and energy."

They went on to say: "He isn't a model by nature, and this creates a more sincere and engaging bond with the public."

We think that he certainly looks like he’s got the whole modelling thing down. Those close-ups , even when he is fully clothed, are certainly appealing in their own right.

Quite the talented individual he is. Shall we just admit now then? That Taylor Swift is a very lucky lady? We think so.

This ad WILL make you blubber like an absolute baby

Created for the Argentina Foundation For Liver Transplants, a moving one-and-a-half minute long video clip has now gone viral, notching up more than 2.5m views in just five days.

It depicts an older man and his loyal, canine companion who never leaves his side.

And when his owner is rushed to hospital, the hound dutifully follows, waiting for days outside as dozens of patients, visitors, and medical staff come and go.

He only responds when a young woman is wheeled out – evidently having benefited from an organ transplant: the dog's elderly master may be dead, but he lives on because of his commitment to organ donation.

Twitter was quick to respond, with one user stating: "I just watched this again. Can't deal – Rip your own heart out watching this loyal dog in this organ donation ad."

Another said: Heartbreaking organ donation ad shows that a dog's loyalty Never ends." A third stated simply: "A different take on promoting organ donation. Beautiful ad."

In Ireland, you can request an organ donation card here.

We bet Justin Bieber is very happy with himself today – the singer has shot an underwear campaign for Calvin Klein, so it looks like all that posing with his top off has finally paid off.

The shoot is said to be released later this year (probably when all the news of the trouble he’s gotten into has died down).

We wonder will Selena be offering her congratulations to the singer after he neglected to wish her happy birthday yesterday?!

You’ll never guess what Marc Jacob uses Instagram for

Nearly 70,000 Marc Jacob fans have been busy uploading selfies on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #castmemarc in an effort to be cast in the fashion designer’s latest campaign. The entrants were whittled down to 30 by Luella Bartley and Katie Hillier, the newly installed Creative Directors of Jacobs’ secondary line.

Jacobs explained why he decided to use social media to cast his campaign instead of using professional models: “It seemed like a great idea to me, as casting through Instagram seemed cool, current and strong. We wanted the ads to shout with youth and energy…to be fresh and reclaim the spirit that the collection had when we first conceived of it—to be another collection, not a second line.”

This certainly provided Jacobs with a diverse cast, with people from South Korea and Australia being flown to New York to take part.

The campaign will debut in the August issue of Teen Vogue, so watch out!

Kate Upton looks flawless in her latest campaign

Back in March, Kate Upton was announced as the new face of Bobbi Brown and the supermodel looks absolutely flawless in the campaign.

The 22-year-old, who replaces Katie Holmes, is the face of Bobbi Brown’s Surf and Sand collection and the campaign has a true California beach vibe to it.

Kate was chosen to represent the brand by its founder Bobbi Brown, who was looking for someone “confident” and “independent” and Kate certainly is both of these.

The actress admits that she likes to keep things simple when it comes to make-up and Bobbi Brown even admitted: “Kate came to the shoot without a stitch of makeup, she is the girl next door, really fresh and the epitome of all-American.”

The blonde beauty will be showcasing the brand’s new range of colours including sandy neutrals, surfy blues and sunset pinks just in time for the summer.

The campaign will be launched in July.

Style princess Alexa Chung is the new face of Nails Inc.

The 30-year-old model and TV presenter will collaborate with the UK-based brand on a six-shade collection of fabric-inspired nail polishes that are set to launch in August.

Alexa announced the news on Twitter, writing, ”This is a thing”, and attached the ad-snap of her clutching a huge bottle of varnish.

She then added, ”That’s a normal size bottle. I’m just really small…”

In June, customers will be given a sneak preview of the range when a limited-edition shade called Red Lace goes on sale at nailsinc.com.

Busy bee Alexa also plans to create her very first clothing collection later this year.

She said, ”That’s going to be the first opportunity where I haven’t had a nine-to-five job – I’ve been doing Eyeko, I wrote a book, I did Fuse every day, and various other design gigs and DJing.

”So this will be the first time to actually sort of sit down and think about it. I’m going to get it off the ground hopefully in 2014.”

Alexa admits she hasn’t gotten very far with her collection.

”For the first collection? Oh god I don’t even know… See, that’s why I need some time to think about it!”

Shoppers launch campaign against rib-showing mannequin

Lingerie label La Perla has been forced to remove a rib-showing mannequin from their New York stores after outraged shoppers started a campaign against the brand.

One Twitter user posted a picture of the emaciated-looking mannequin with the caption, “How does La Perla think visible ribs on a mannequin is OK?”

This sparked a hashtag campaign – #NotBuyingIt – which spread like wildfire.

La Perla’s PR team quickly apologised, and said that an ‘internal investigation’ was underway.

The brand also released a statement, confirming the mannequin had been removed, “and will not be used again by any La Perla boutique.”

“We are in the process of redesigning all La Perla stores with a new concept image and the mannequins that are currently displayed in our U.S. stores will no longer be used,” they said.

What were they thinking?!

Untouched images of Lady Gaga’s Versace campaign are leaked online

Untouched images of Lady Gaga’s ad campaign for Versace have been leaked online.

We all know that models and celebs are airbrushed and perfected for magazine – but it’s still an important message for women to realise this.

The campaign is for Versace’s spring 2014 collection and features a blonde Gaga surrounded by designer bags.

The untouched images are significantly different to the airbrushed, though we still think Gaga looks lovely.

Just as with the untouched images of Lena Dunham in Vogue, this proves we don’t need airbrush and the fashion industry should try to encourage natural beauty.
