Ford and some other dude Domenico De Sole who nobody cares about but is the money side of the famous fashion house are leaving because the shareholders, the Louis Vuitton mafia and the dynamic duo cannot come to...

  • Rich supermodels
    Supermodels seem to be up there on the rich list this year. Quite surprised about Erin O’Connor.. ..lets hope she doesn’t lose alot of it after this story. I would have thought though that Kate Moss would have earned more than her as she’s just about everywhere at the moment.
