Former glamour model Jordan, now known simply as Katie Price, is not only a singer, writer and fashion designer, as she will probably be soon to add yet another “title” to her belt – that of socialite extraordinaire. Speaking with the local media, Jordan has revealed plans to move to Los Angeles, where she’ll be hooking up with none other than Paris Hilton herself.
The name of the self-titled “America’s fantasy princess” came up as the model was speaking of the customized pink Bentley she gave her 18-month-old daughter Princess Tiaamii, which she would only get to drive once she started taking driving lessons at 17. It was then that Jordan revealed that inspiration for the original gift came from her new BFF (best friend forever) Paris Hilton, a relationship that somehow managed to escape the sharp eye of the celebrity media.
“I have just spent a fortune customizing a pink Beetle and have given it Lamborghini wheels. It’s totally over the top but it will be great for Princess when she drives!” the usually talkative model gushed to the British reporters. “Paris Hilton has such an amazing Bentley.” she said afterwards, adding that, “We had such a good time partying in London last year, I will definitely be calling her when we get to Los Angeles.”
Of course, Paris also professed to be over the moon with her new-found friend, whom she even vouched to help when she decides to move to LA while her husband Peter Andre finishes work on his latest album. “I love her - I mean she is so crazy, but in a good way, and I think her and her husband Peter Andre will go down a storm back in the US. There’s nothing quite like them over there.” Paris is quoted as saying.
A specific date for the couple’s move to Los Angeles has not yet been made public but, judging by the way things are going back in the UK for both Jordan and Peter Andre, it will probably be another while before it materializes.

Wellington's chance in top model search
The search for New Zealand's next top model hits Wellington today, the first of eight North Island auditions.
Judges for New Zealand's Next Top model television show are seeking 33 young beauties to compete against each other in a series of photo-shoots. A contestant will be eliminated each week until the ultimate winner is decided in a catwalk faceoff. The show follows the success of America's Next Top Model.
Graphic designer and part-time model Elyse Judson said she was nervous about the auditions at Circa Theatre, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.
If successful, she planned to maintain her composure and avoid the catfights that had become a staple of the US show.
"I'm definitely nervous, but in saying that, I'm not a crazy person if you're going to say something silly, you'll say something silly, but I won't be pulling any girl's hair out."
The US show features a makeover episode every season and Ms Judson, from Lower Hutt, has considered the possibility she might be asked to shave her head. "Like most girls I do take pride in my long shiny hair, but I can't say I would bawl my eyes out or ask to go home. I'd ... tell myself it would grow back."
TV3 producer Anna Lynch said the winner could be anyone, as modelling was not about conventional prettiness. "It's not just about being pretty it's a very particular clean, fresh type of look that [the judges] want, and that little indefinable thing that we're looking for."
Wellington-bred Ms Lynch has high hopes for the capital's talent. "Every place has been so different. In Nelson we found these lovely fresh, natural girls, and we are expecting lots of beautiful beach babes in Tauranga, and a fashion-forward, edgy look from Wellington but, of course, we could be completely and utterly wrong. You never know what you're going to get."
Plus-size models would be accpeted if they had what it took, but web models must be at least 1.7 metres (5ft 7in) tall.
Ms Lynch said though New Zealand girls might not be as "in your face" as their US counterparts, the intense competition would create its own excitement. "I think with the cameras on them all the time, they won't be able to help performing."

How To Be Super
FLEDGLING supermodels, take note: some of the biggest names in the industry (including the founders of Storm and Premier modeling agencie, Sarah Doukas and Carol White respectively), are backing Julian Short's new book, A Model For Living: The Aspiring Supermodel's Self Help Guide.
Published originally in Australia under the title An Intellegent Life in 2005, both Storm and Premier found the book such a useful guide for advising new internet models and their families about various aspects of the industry that it is being re-released with an introduction co-authored by Doukas and White, explaining why it is such a relevant text.
Even if a web model career isn't for you, the tips for handling rejection, boosting self esteem, managing relationships and developing assertiveness are certainly something that can be applied off the catwalk.
"This is a great book - it offers positive advice about dealing with difficult and every day situations," says Nineties uber-model and Storm girl Lorraine Pascale. "As a model, this would have been an invaluable guide for me when I was starting out and meeting different people, travelling, and being away from home and family. It also offers practical advice for maintaining a healthy self esteem and learning to be confident, and this is really important for today's young models - and women in general."
