Last we saw Brooke Shields, she was giving the most only human, heartfelt eulogy at Michael Jackson's memorial. Yesterday, the model, eyelash lengthening pitchwoman and erstwhile orator was in Miami for a French Vogue shoot with snapper Bruce Weber and 'it' boy, model Elio Soto. According to a rep at Soto's agency, No. 23 Model Management, he and Shields got along famously and, as you can see, something did, indeed, come between her and her Calvins.
Brooke Shields, Bruce Weber and a New 'It' Boy: Just Like the Old Days

Tom and Gisele: the Tweet heard 'round the (Boston) Globe
We were at Prime Italian, across the street from Prime 112, before Tom Brady and very pregnant wife Gisele Bündchen made their very flashy exit amidst gawkers, stalkers and assorted drunk folks in Halloween costumes. We Tweeted about it the following day and had no idea how big the news really was. From Boston to Brazil, the news of the couple eating steak on South Beach created quite the buzz. After dinner, the duo headed back to the Ocean Drive penthouse of Ed Razek, Chief Marketing Officer of Victoria's Secret, where they stayed during this brief jaunt to the Beach. They left yesterday and the media storm continues and for that, we thank The Brady family as well as Mark Shanahan and Meredith Goldstein at The Boston Globe for the very nice ink. Come back again soon, y'hear?
Miami folk may not be the smartest but they sure are pretty
Finally! Miami ranks high in a poll and it has nothing to do with joblessness, foreclosures, bad drivers, or general doomsday. According to Travel + Leisure’s 2009 America’s Favorite Cities survey, America’s most attractive people are in Miami, Cleveland is the best place for an affordable getaway, Minneapolis/St. Paul ranks No. 1 for intelligent people, and Houston is home to the best airports. Miami also was ranked No. 2 for being stylish and No. 5 for being diverse--New York was number one for those two categories. For those literal naysayers who insist Miami folk are shallow, superficial and soulless, get over it (though the poll did show a decline in Miami's friendliness and intelligence, which they listed as our worst feature). They mean most attractive on the outside.
Who needs Gwyneth Paltrow when you've got Elle McPherson?
Making their official public debut as a couple at the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce gala at the Fontainebleau Saturday night Service Award recipient and hotel heir Jeff Soffer, who was once allegedly erroneously linked to a married Gwyneth Paltrow, and
trophy girlfriend Elle McPherson. Ferraris you can buy, but there's only one Elle McPherson. Nice work, Soffer.
A most delicious sighting
Jason Lewis, also in town for the Fontainebleau hootenanny, was seen working out at Equinox South Beach earlier today. Our spy says Lewis was paying special attention to his back area with some grueling exercises. More grueling than working out was the ability of our spy to exercise self restraint in not attacking him!
No bias, Nobu
Since the restaurants at the Fontainebleau aren't open yet, where else would the staaahs go to eat but Nobu, where Alex Rodriguez was spotted dining with and deep in conversation with a group of guys (his legal team?), and where Heidi Klum was also seen, separately, with a friend, eating sushi and ice cream. Ice cream! Scandalous.
Victoria's Secret models to LIV for
Miami is getting a whole lot sexier this weekend, as Victoria's Secret supermodels Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, and Alessandro Ambrosio take center stage at Miami’s Fontainebleau resort for their big Saturday night show. However the hottest ticket of the weekend is the exclusive after-party thrown by Belvedere Vodka at the never before seen LIV nightclub. Sources tell the us that LIV spared no expense in its design, and will show off some of its bigtime, breakthrough effects after the big show. That's what we call thinking outside of the bra.
A Picture Says A Thousand Words
A picture plastered all over European tabloids! Check out Miami's own Elaine Lancaster and Bono at the Vanity Fair Cannes Film Festival party.

No Fur Allowed at Love Hate Lounge
Yes, hairy dudes (and girls) are still allowed in the SoFi hot spot, Love Hate Lounge, but if you're sporting animal fur, forget about it. Miami Ink star Ami James is showing off his 40 tattoos in a new ad for PETA, appropriately titled Ink, Not Mink. James will unveil the ad at his South Beach bar, Love Hate Lounge, on Thursday, January 24 at 7 p.m., during which time he will rename the club Love Animals, Hate Fur (just for the night, thankfully) and implement a policy banning fur from the club. "If we wouldn't be wearing mink, nobody would be killing [them]," James says. We say mink murderers should refocus on, say, mullets---not the fish, of course, but the hair don't. And we guess James is only half an animal activist, because he's not banning leather. If he did, he'd probably lose at least half his clientele!
The Billionaire and the Supermodel
Supermodel Kristy Hinze was at the birthday party of her billionaire boyfriend, Netscape founder turned Miami developer Jim Clark (who pissed some people off with the end result of Blue and Marina Blue downtown), this past weekend in his Setai penthouse. Known as the Aussie angel, Hinze was at the center of Clark's $158 million divorce in 2006.
