Paris Hilton Almost Arrested In Dubai


We just talked last week about how Paris was in Dubai filming for the Dubai version of "My New BFF". Right after the much publicized press conference, Paris found herself in major trouble with Dubai officials after she was seen in her bikini on the beach enjoying herself and posing sexually.

It actually got so bad that she had to hire a team of experts to avoid getting arrested during her stay in Dubai. According to sources, Paris was terrified that she would get into trouble and her bosses warned her that an arrest is likely and has happened to many tourist.

The rules are strict in Muslim countries, and celebrity or not you have to respect those rules!

Brazilian Fashion Week Sets "Black Model Quota"



Unfortunate as it is, seems the black models and high fashion are still a long way from being on the same page. According to the organizers of Sao Paulo Fashion Week, this year the government is forcing 1 out of every 10 of their models be black.

You'd think in Brazil this wouldn't be an issue, but prosecutors are actually forcing Sao Paulo FW to get it right this year. Last year only eight of the 344 models in the 2008 show were non-white. And if they don't, they will be fined 120,00 dollars.

Unfortunately, being such a diverse place to live, black models actually believe its easier to get work abroad than there.
