Is X Factor star Tulisa’s sex tape just a publicity stunt?

IN her new video pop singer and UK X Factor judge Tulisa sings “Forgive me for what I have done”.

It’s an unfortunate lyric, especially when coupled with images of the singer suggestively licking ice cream and posing in various stages of undress.

Because it comes just days after Tulisa accused her ex-boyfriend of leaking a sex tape of the two onto the internet.

Fans are now questioning whether the sex tape was just a publicity stunt to boost her profile ahead of the video release.

One wrote on Twitter: “Tulisa Contostavlos releases new single about being young and making mistakes, what a huge coincidence.”

Another posted: “Waitttt, tulisa’s clip gets leaked 2 days before she releases her first single #publicitystunt.”

The lyrics to We Are Young do seem strange in light of the sex tape:

Forgive me for what I have done cos I’m young, yeah I’m young.

I don’t mean to frighten you off, it’s just fun, its just fun.

I’ll make mistake that I learn from cos I’m young, yeah I’m young.

I’m sorry I’m not even done, cos I’m young, yeah I’m young.

Don’t worry bout what I’ll become, it’s just fun, it’s just fun.

Tulisa, 23, has also posted a video on YouTube in which she says she confronted her ex, Justin Edwards, over the sex tape.

“This is someone that I loved, that I trusted, that meant the world to me, that I feel deeply betrayed by. I am sure that everyone at home has had intimate moments with someone they cared about and never expected at any point that they would go and share it with the rest of the world,” she says in the video.

Why this star WA model’s body was called ‘cheap’.

WA MODEL Tiah Delaney speaks candidly about the “warped” nature of the fashion industry and how she was told her curves made her look “cheap” and “tarty”.

As a standard size-eight woman who also has a D-cup chest size, the stunning 26-year-old from WA said she often received criticism for her natural curves.

She spoke to The Sunday Times after posing in the limited-edition Muse collection by international burlesque star Dita Von Teese. The range features feminine, vintage-inspired dresses and caters to women sized from 8-20.

“In an industry of girls with boyish figures, I’ve been told having boobs make me look fat, makes the clothes look cheap or tarty,” Delaney said. “I find this hilarious because you’re selling clothes to women but telling them they’ll be chastised if they dare look like women. It’s a very strange mentality.”

Delaney signed with Vivien’s as a teenager, and has posed for Dazed and Confused magazine, Vanity Fair and French Playboy.

“I always had a lot of confidence growing up, but I did go through a phase early in my career before I started to do well where I was really insecure because I was different,” Delaney said. “Once I realised you just have to own it, your shape and your quirks. These things worked more in my favour than against.

“Sure, there might be more commercial or men’s magazine models out there with my size and shape, but you’ve got to understand in fashion I’m an anomaly.”

After having a baby in 2009, Delaney said she felt the pressure to slim down quickly.

“I worked really hard to get back in shape after having a baby, and quite quickly,” she said. Initially it wasn’t my plan to, but I was offered a couple of really great campaigns quite soon after giving birth and I chose to take them. So I had to work at looking as good as I could.

“Saying that, I don’t think that’s a pressure that most women should have on them it’s just what’s required of my job.”

Von Teese, who was recently in Australia for the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, said it was essential that the collection catered to all sizes.

“That was one of my primary goals and it’s always been really important to me,” she said. “It was amazing to see in the fittings that some of these dresses look better on a plus-size model than the standard-size models.

“I had so many beautiful dresses in my collection that I wear year after year after year, and they never look dated. I wanted to bring these lost designs to people who love vintage, but don’t want to look like they are starring in a costume drama.”

Israel Bans Underweight Fashion Models — So Who’s Hiring Them Now?

On Monday, lawmakers in Israel voted to ban models with a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 18.5 from working in the country’s fashion market. Although the BMI scale is frequently maligned as an inaccurate and abstract health measurement tool, the World Health Organization deems a BMI below 18.5 (which translates to 119 pounds on a 5 foot 8 inch woman) to be a sign of malnourishment and in the fashion industry, it’s often a hallmark of excessive dieting and anorexia.

Banning the use of such models in advertisements is an important step towards broadening the definition of beauty we see represented in the media, which otherwise circles relentlessly around one ever-shrinking ideal. It could help prevent the glamorization of extreme thinness and disordered eating behaviors known as “thinspiration,” or “thinspo,” which currently runs rampant on places like Pinterest, Tumblr and “pro-ana” websites. The Israeli law also requires advertisers to post a disclaimer on images that have been edited to make models appear even thinner, so consumers (especially young girls and women) will know they’re looking at a distorted photo, not an attainable weight loss goal. A disclaimer like that would have come in handy when H&M decided to computer generate the torsos of its lingerie models last December, for example.

But after my review of Girl Model on Monday, I’m also worrying about where laws like these leave the underweight models who are now out of a job — for the moment just in Tel Aviv, but similar legislation has passed or is pending in Europe, and Israeli Knesset Member Danny Danon says he “has been approached by members of U.S .Congress who are interested in drafting a similar law for American modeling agencies.” As Girl Model reveals, the average girl model isn’t refusing to get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day like Linda Evangelista once claimed — she’s trooping around strange cities to humiliating go-sees, getting hit on and told to lose weight if she wants to work.

Of course, there are many more girls having their body image gently skewed every time they see yet another Victoria’s Secret commercial than there are working in the international modeling industry. But I’m not sure we should have to rank the needs of the many against the few here. The real culprits are the modeling agencies who wield incredible control over their young charges — just this week, the agency that represents Girl Model’s protagonist, now-17 Nadya Vall, seems to be goading her into rejecting the way she’s portrayed as a victim in the film. Also to blame are magazine editors, fashion designers, and advertising directors who book underweight models, or don’t. Legislation that penalized these parties would do more to change the system and benefit girls everywhere. Danon describes the new Israeli law as a “knockout in the war against anorexia.” But in our thirst for battle, we should make sure this is a war on an unhealthy cultural ideal and the diseases it can involve — not a war on people with anorexia.
