Janice weighs in on underage models

How young is too young for girls to model?
World’s first supermodel worries what could befall 13-year-old Australian

Janice Dickinson was the world’s first supermodel, and she doesn’t care how adult and graceful Australian model Maddison Gabriel looks on a fashion runway. At barely 13 years of age, she’s just too young, Dickinson said.

“There’s lots of drugs, there’s lots of alcohol, there’s lots of photographers preying on these girls,” Dickinson said Tuesday on TODAY. “Thirteen is way too young.”

Maddison turned 13 on Sunday; she was still 12 when she was chosen as the “face” and official ambassador of the Gold Coast Fashion Week in Australia. At 5 feet 7 inches, the blue-eyed girl has the looks and the moves to model clothing — some of it provocative — designed for women two and three times her age.

“It doesn’t matter about the age,” she says with adolescent insouciance. “It matters that you can do the job. I can fit into women’s clothes. I can model women’s clothes, so I should be able to do it.”

“Well, there’s babies on TV, isn’t there, doing commercials,” says her mother, Michelle Gabriel, who has been wildly criticized in Australia for allowing her daughter to start modeling at such a young age. “You tell me. What is too young?”

The Gabriels were in London when they made those statements recently. Maddison can not work as a fashion model in Europe, though; the age limit for runway work there is 16.

And Dickinson said that she will not allow any girls under 18 to model for her agency.

“I have about 32 girls who are dying to break that 18-year-old mark,” she told TODAY co-host Matt Lauer. “Get your high school diploma and then come and see me.”

Dickinson knows what she’s talking about. Born in 1955 in Brooklyn to parents she’s described as dysfunctional at best, she went to Europe to become a model in the 1970s and catapulted to stardom.

She also leaped into the world of Studio 54, alcohol, drugs and indiscriminate sex, once telling Howard Stern that she had slept with at least 1,000 men.

Dickinson, who still looks spectacular at 52, is sober now, the owner of her own modeling agency and a judge on “America’s Next Top Model.” She also appears on “The Surreal Life.”

Janice Dickinson: "Tyra Banks Is Fat"

Janice Dickinson Defends Hewitt In A Bikini As Healthy: "Tyra Banks Is Fat"

The Today Show is not one to miss an opportunity to show off the Jennifer Love Hewitt bikini pictures.

They continued the streak today by inviting Janice Dickinson, the self-described first supermodel, and discussed whether a size 2 is fat. Janice defended Hewitt, called her "healthy" and "not emaciated." She continued, "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat." Banks used to be Dickinson's boss in the early seasons of "America's Next Top Model" and has herself been the subject of unflattering bathing suit photos.

After she was confronted by Al Roker about the remark, she sort of backed off, but it's unclear is she was being genuine.

Janice 2nd on "I'm a Celebrity..."

Janice is runner up

“Oh maaaaaaaan!” Janice was pipped to the podium by Jungle King Biggins.

Branded a “big, bold and beautiful lunatic” by Katie, Janice Dickinson is one contestant that we won’t forget in a hurry.

And with a rat bite and record 10 Bushtucker Trials under her belt, we have a feeling that the experience made a bit of a mark on the lady herself too.

“I thought it was a holiday,” the former supermodel barked as she bounded back from the jungle. “I thought it was a spa, and I thought I was going to get a shot at him!” she added, pointing at Dec.

“I’m sort of a room service kind of girl, or so I thought. I feel like I’ve really conquered some fears.” And she couldn’t have done it without the support of our hosts with the most.

Yes, after cracking on to Dec, nicknaming Ant “Junior”, and finally conquering those cockroaches in her final stunning Trial, Stake Out, was Janice really that terrified as she shrieked, “I can’t eat croc d**k, are you insane?”

“I meant it,” she insisted. “There was no acting about it, otherwise I would be in Hollywood."

And did The Dickinson think that she’d romp all the way to the final?

“Noo!” she hollered at the boys. “I’m elated. I got this far, I’m grateful to the people of the United Kingdom… A rat came onto my bed and took a chomp. I got beaten up, knocked over, bowled over and bitten.

“I didn’t think I’d make it through anything. I equate this to the delivery of my two children – the most difficult thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.

“It’s been the biggest, most extraordinary experience in my life and I’m so grateful for everything I’m A Celebrity has given me.

“God save the King!” she bawled, as her interview wrapped and she leapt towards the bridge.

'Here here!' we holler, and bottoms up to the both of you.

I'm A Celeb's Janice attacks Cerys for romance with Marc

I'm a Celeb contestant Janice Dickinson spoke out in camp last night, suggesting Marc Bannerman's eviction was due to his budding romance with fellow mate Cerys Matthews.

The supermodel left Catatonia front-woman Cerys speechless as she claimed she would never have behaved in the same way with any member of camp and that she would be devastated to see her own boyfriend developing feelings for someone on screen.

Janice's attacks came in response to Cerys's confusion as to why Marc was voted off the show, advising her that she should be careful about how she behaves on television.

Janice said: "He's like a really handsome guy but every time he hugged me I had to break away because if my boyfriend saw me hugging that guy in the jungle...

"If I was watching my boyfriend hug you in the jungle I would cut his f***in' d**k off," She added.

Contestant Rodney Marsh added: "So what's so hard to understand from that point of view then?"

Cerys was left worried and blank faced as the weight of her actions started to dawn on her but a loyal Anna Ryder Richardson jumped to her defence, saying: "Yes but he did hug everybody."

However, an adamant Janice insisted: "No, he didn't hug me," later adding in the Bush Telegraph: "There's a whole lot of reachy-reachy touchy-touchy that can take place in a hammock and they were in the hammock every night."

Bannerman's eviction has changed the dynamic in camp and added to the already unsettling tension caused by arguments between the older members of the camp, mainly Lynne Franks and Rodney Marsh.

Anna said: “Marc has left a massive hole in all of us actually, in every single one of us and we were all gobsmacked is the only word I can say.”

Meanwhile, serial Bushtucker Trial participants Janice and Lynne breathed a sigh of relief when Cerys and Gemma Atkinson were chosen to perform Thursday's task.

Cerys performed her first ever trial, in contrast to the former supermodel, who took part in her eighth trial during Wednesday's episode.

The trial came as a pleasant distraction to Cerys as she claimed the trial would help keep her mind busy after Marc's eviction.

Ex-Hollyoaks babe Gemma and Cerys greeted presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who declared they were pleased to see new faces taking part in the tasks, instead of the usual participants Janice and Lynne.

Welsh singer Cerys said: "That's right, virgin trialists."

Dec went on to explain the Bat Out Of Hell task, which involved the girls being strapped into a reverse bungee.

Cerys and Gemma would then be flung into the air and would attempt to throw paint-covered tennis balls at an inflatable cone suspended in the air.

For every ball which hits the cone, the camp would win one meal.

As Ultimo underwear model Gemma realised she would be travelling at 50 miles-per-hour, she laughed: "It's a good job we haven't eaten or else we'd be puking."

After two misses, Gemma finally succeeded on her third attempt and won a meal from camp.

The thrilled 23-year-old shouted: "About frigging time, isn't it?"

After Gemma's turn, it was Cerys' time to try, who made no attempt to hide her fear as she screamed during her first ascent.

After scoring two meals during her first two attempts, lucky Cerys managed to hit the bonus black and white section, which meant she had won an extra three meals for her hungry camp-mates.

Ant told a triumphant Cerys: "You could turn into an adrenaline junkie after that – extreme sports and everything."

Cerys admitted: "That's what I'm scared about, this is nuts. It was horrible. I'm absolutely still shaking it was good but when you realise you've got to fall it's just not right."

Gemma agreed: "I hated it... not a nice feeling."

The two girls happily returned to camp with a total of six meals.

Janice Dickinson gets even more bitchy in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

Bitchy supermodel Janice Dickinson told her jungle rival to wear an ostrich food suit during a trial because there was more of her to eat.

The snide comment was made during the ‘Nip Pluck’ bushtucker trial, which saw Janice operating a giant claw that moved Lynne around an ostrich pen.

PR guru Lynne Franks, dressed in a yellow suit covered in bird food, had to pick up stars with her feet for reality show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

“I’ll operate,” said Janice after the challenge was explained.

“Why doesn’t that surprise me,” moaned Lynne.

“There’s more on you to pluck. There’s nothing to pluck on me. They’re going to love you,” gushed Janice.

But despite getting off on the wrong foot, the bickering pair managed to work as a team and secure seven out of eleven stars.

And there was no rest for the wicked. Janice faced her sixth trial, crawling along a 200ft high rope collecting flags and dropping them to ex-footballer Rodney Marsh on a cable below.

After falling off seven times, he moaned: “I am absolutely knackered. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything as physically demanding as that.” They returned to the camp with just two stars.

“It was 100 per cent my fault so I’m not going to join in the food tonight,” said Rodney.

Lynne is next up for the bushtucker trial - the Tunnel of Terror. She will be forced to retrieve stars from a tunnel full of rats and spiders.

Janice Dickinson: ‘I’m going to have sex with wombats’

‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ star Janice Dickinson has revealed her cunning plan to be crowned queen of the jungle.

‘I’m going to have sex with wombats,’ she screams. ‘I dated Mick Jagger – you don’t think I could have sex with wombats? I’m also going to get naked. They asked me to wear a modesty suit – as if you limeys don’t take your clothes off.’

52-year-old Janice, says that she always knew jungle life would be a challenge for someone as high-maintenance as she is.

‘I’m a room service kinda girl,’ she says. ‘I wanted to wear 9in Manolos, but they say they’re not good for the outback. I’ve got my Vivienne Westwood corset, though. If I’m strapped into that I don’t think a snake will have the bottle to climb down my cleavage.’

Janice also hatched a plan to smuggle some contraband into the jungle, she said: ‘I’ll try anything I can get into any open hole,’ she boasts. ‘There’s 27ft of colon in your body, so God knows what you can jam up there. I’ll be like Midnight Express. Pounds of illicit devices will fall out of my ass.’

Janice Dickinson tells Gemma Atkinson to roll about in chocolate

Gemma Atkinson Former supermodel Janice Dickinson, who claims to have had 1,000 lovers - has been giving glamor model Gemma Atkinson advice on how to spice-up her sex life.

Dickinson, 52, claims that a bar of chocolate is a very erotic thing to rub all over your body.

“Janice was on about using melted chocolate,” Gemma told jungle pal Jason ‘J’ Brown, reports Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.

“She said I should roll about in it. It sounds amazing. But to be quite honest, I’d probably be far too busy eating it.”

Atkinson, 23 - who has been romantically linked to footballer Cristiano Ronaldo - is now rumored to be dating Wigan Athletic footballer Marcus Bent.

Jungle Janice: I'm a CeLESBrity!

By Gemma Calvert
JUNGLE wildcat Janice Dickinson cheetah-ed on Mick Jagger to get her claws into a blonde for some hot lesbian love.

The former supermodel was meant to be CONSOLING her best pal—a "gorgeous platinum beauty" called Pia—after she split from Mick's fellow Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood.

But Janice revealed: "One thing led to another and before long I was crossing the line.

"Pia and I ended up spending an awesome evening together—having the best sex ever. Maybe it was her grief at losing one of the greatest rock guitarists in history.

"Or maybe she was just horny.

"Whatever. As girl-on-girl interludes go, it was hot, steamy and wild."

Loudmouth Janice, who boasts a "perfect" 36C-24-34 figure, also claims to have bedded actress Kelly LeBrock and singer Grace Jones as well as a string of Hollywood males including Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson, and Bruce Willis.

And though she is now dating cameraman Tommy Fry, she says she prefers women.

"You get to have sex, swap shoes and that toilet seat stays down at all times," she explained.

Now unsuspecting female campers, including stunning Gemma Atkinson, 23, and Apprentice bitch Katie Hopkins, 32, could find themselves being hunted down by sex-mad Janice in the Australian jungle.

The botoxed beauty, now 52, had her best-friend fling in the mid-80s, at the height of her affair with Jagger.But though she claims to have had hundreds of lovers since, she can't forget it.

"My night with Pia remains an awesome memory." she sighed.

Janice Dickinson warns Katie Hopkins: 'I'm reigning queen of bitches'

Fireworks were expected to fly on I'm A Celebrity after self-confessed man-eater Katie Hopkins was flown into the jungle to join an already warring camp.

Contestants Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks have been at loggerheads in the reality TV show with name-calling and threats of violence all within 24 hours.

Now Miss Hopkins - who became the most reviled contestant in The Apprentice when she boasted of her affairs with married men - has been sent in to set the cat among the pigeons and is tipped to ignite tensions still further.

A show insider said: "It was thought that putting another alpha-female into the camp would be sure to create fireworks. She is another strong character to add to an already headstrong mix."

Miss Hopkins, who described herself as "Simon Cowell in female form", is predicted to vie for the position of least popular camp member amongst her team mates - two of whom have already fallen out in spectacular fashion.

The team, which is made up nearly entirely of women, features self-proclaimed supermodel Miss Dickinson, 52, and PR guru Miss Franks, 59, who were locked in a feud less than 24 hours after being thrown together in the Australian Outback.



Queen Bees: Katie joined fellow alpha females Janice Dickinson (left) and Lynne Franks

Within hours of meeting the former Apprentice Miss Dickinson threw down the gauntlet and declared she was the "reigning queen" of bitches in the camp.

Despite her insults Miss Dickinson redeemed herself last night in her second jungle task.

The camp went hungry after she lost the first trial when she refused to put her head in a tank full of eels.

But yesterday she won nine stars which she threw from a sinking Land Rover submerged in a swamp, beating football pundit Rodney Marsh for the Croc Creek team.

Rumours of romance were also rife as Catatonia singer Cerys Matthews was seen getting cosy with former Eastenders actor Marc Bannerman.

The pair hugged and tickled each other as they flirted in the Croc Creek camp.

Speaking from her five star hotel before her entry into the jungle Miss Hopkins warned: "I do say things as I see them and I do create tensions because I am outrageously honest and therefore rude in many cases to other people's sensitivities.

"But for people who don't know me well I am a breath of fresh air, I am a sort of Simon Cowell in female form without perhaps the witty one-liners that he's got.

"I say things as they are and normally it's not something you see in a woman."

She added: "Men particularly can do it, women aren't allowed to but I say b*******s to that and you know, I think it's a good thing."

Hopkins is a replacement for former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren who dramatically quit the show before even entering the camp.

The mother of two's inclusion means that Jason "J" Brown is the lone male in the tempestuous group.

She surprised Snake Rock camper Gemma Atkinson by appearing from the jungle fauna after the glamour girl was sent to bring a treasure chest back to camp.

The former Met Office employee, who was fired following negative publicity in the Apprentice, admitted that she tends to be impatient.

She said: "I don't like moaners, I don't like people that drip, I don't like lazy people, I don't like doom and gloom people and I don't like people who are very 'me'. I would have to take the p*** out of them."

Miss Hopkins established her reputation as a homewrecker after naked pictures of the 32 year-old man-eater romping in a field with married colleague Mark Cross, 43, were published this year.

The couple now live together and plan to marry after Mr Cross' divorce is finalised.

Both Miss Hopkins and former supermodel Miss Dickinson, 53, pride themselves on speaking their mind which is sure to result in explosive catfights.

Miss Dickinson has already boasted she "grew up in a swamp" with outdoors survival skills while Hopkins is a graduate of Sandhurst military academy.

Friendships have been slow to form in the first 24 hours of jungle life.

Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks had an immediate personality clash with Dickinson branding Franks a "shrew" while the PR guru retaliated and called her "brash" and "aggressive".

Before even making it into camp Miss Dickinson - who had a tummy tuck and neck lift in preparation for camp life - warned Franks: "You don't want me as an enemy - say nice things about me."

The Crocs have proved themselves the more harmonious team made up of interior design presenter Anna Ryder Richardson, ex-Eastenders actor Mark Bannerman, pop singer Cerys Matthews and Michelin-starred chef John Burton Race.

While the Snakes canoed into camp the Crocs made a 1000 foot bungee jump from a helicopter, a feat which made both Cerys Matthews and Ryder Richardson cry with fear.

Janice’s New Hire Has Gay Porn Past

Will Model Mama Feel "Deceived"?


Rodrigo De Carli’s gonna have a lot of ’splainin’ to do! Janice Dickinson’s newest model has dealt with other dicks in his career. De Carli once worked for Chi Chi LaRue under the porn name Claudio Martin.

In addition to appearing in Deceived, the young buck got his fuck on in Raw Footage, Tyler Riggs: Shot for Shot, and some other titilating titles. Those features, of course, didn’t quite make it on De Carli’s resume for Dickinson’s Oxygen-sponsored reality show. A nameless homo tells LA Rag Mag:

Rodrigo wasn’t up front about his “film work” with production and still hasn’t told Janice. People close to him are worried what Janice’s reaction will be since he tried to keep it from her and production.

Bullshit! We bet Dickinson knew, pretended not to know and now hopes this will grab her show - which we honestly forget about, like, weekly - in the gossip columns.
