from gawker stalker:

My favorite celeb sightings are the weird ones, so I was so excited to see "noted photographer" and "America's Top Model" judge Nigel (Last name?) out for a Spring stroll with runner-up April. Both were looking very Manhattan in sunglasses and Diesel jeans as they strolled down 18th Street towards 8th Avenue on Saturday. I think April may be growing her bangs out. Please note: they are both taller than they appear on television.

did nigel and april get together? remember the sexual TENSION? well, i remember nigel saying he liked her ass at one point, and april got nervous around him during the nude photoshoot cause she thought he was hot. ah, another reality-tv romance. awesome.

playboy conducts casting call at uva.

apparently they're doing another conferenced-themed issue, girls of the atlantic coast conference. how catchy. last year they did girls of the big ten. which has its own nice ring to it.

some choice quotes:

"We started off with bikini photos, then did a few with a thong," Timmons said. "The last few were nude ones."

Orfanos said she now will meet with the magazine's photographer to choose which students will be featured in the magazine's spreads and determine the ways in which they will be depicted.

Based on the models' preferences, the women could pose for photos in a variety of locations, Playboy spokesperson Theresa Hennessey said.

"It could be a local bar, it could be a local bed and breakfast, an outdoor area somewhere -- they are going to scout for locations," she said.

hmm. if i were to pose for playboy as a representative of uva (hypothetically, folks), i would definitely choose the dome room of the rotunda. thomas jefferson would totally love that. or the option of local bed and breakfast is appealing. i'm sure the owners of some quaint two-story brick b&b would be happy to welcome playboy into their mahogany four-poster beds.

Timmons said she would like to use this opportunity as a launching pad for future related careers.

"I would like to pursue my modeling career afterwards, I put it on hold when I got here," she said. "I'd also like to try acting -- my ex-boyfriend always told me to be in a soap opera."

uva girls. representing the world over.

one week to go:

lots of work this week for me (and i think tommy), that's why posting's been light, and probably will be so for a while.
