Get The Look: Bar Refaeli

ISRAELI-born model Bar Refaeli began modelling before she could even walk.

At eight months old she was appearing in her first commercials and at a mere fifteen her modelling career took off.

Winning the prestigious title of Model of the Year in 2001 followed by appearances for GQ, Elle and Ralph Lauren - Bar was a force to be reckoned with.

In 2005 Bar even managed to bag herself an A-list boyfriend and is probably just as famous for being Leonardo Di Caprio's squeeze as she is a catwalk queen.

The natural beauty with olive skin and cute freckles is a breath of fresh air.

She's healthy, radiant and miles apart from skinny models we often see gracing the catwalk, which is why Garnier have chosen her as their new spokesmodel.




Celebrity Stylist Oliver Woods loves Bar's natural sandy hair colour, as do we.

He shows us below how to create her stunning 60's beehive - a look set to be seen everywhere this year.









1. Starting with damp hair, apply a mousse and volumising-booster product, such as Fructis Style’s Body and Volume Boosting Spray (RRP £3.99) from the roots to the ends and blow dry smooth.

2. Section the front of the hair and clip back. Comb the rest of the hair and spray with a strong hold hairspray.

3. Get a hair ‘doughnut’ and cut it into one big tube. Pin it into the back of the head and smooth the hair over to cover the tube. This will give it a beehive effect.

4. At the front of the hair, use medium-sized tongs. Put the hair round the tongs and brush out. Finish off with a little serum.

Just Bar-rilliant.

Japan films win top awards

HONG KONG - JAPANESE stars and moviemakers were celebrating Tuesday after blitzing the annual Asian Film Awards.

The country's films dominated the glitzy ceremony in Hong Kong, scooping best picture, best director and best actor titles, and halting South Korea's stranglehold over the event.

'Tokyo Sonata,' a portrait of the breakdown of a Japanese family, won the award for best film.

Its director, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, best known for his thrillers and suspense movies, said he believed 'Tokyo Sonata' appealed to audiences across the region because it captured the dark side of human nature.

'The story is about ordinary people living in Japan. However, it captured the social problems that confront not only Japanese people today but also people outside Japan,' Kurosawa, who also won the best screenwriter award for the film, told AFP after Monday's ceremony.

Masahiro Motoki scooped the best actor award for 'Departures", which also won the best foreign language film in the Oscars.

He played a cellist forced to take a job in the funeral business after his orchestra was dissolved.

'I am very happy. I almost fainted and my throat was dry (when I received the award) - I never thought I would get the award,' Motoki told reporters.

'The story is about accepting death, letting go, and hopes after death. I think this is the kind of theme that will appeal to people because of the economic crisis we are experiencing now,' he said.

Hirokazu Koreeda beat action film director and hometown hero John Woo to the best director award for 'Still Walking,' about how a family deals with the drowning of a relative. -- AFP

NEW YORK - SUPER model Tyra Banks, host and executive producer of 'America's Next Top Model,' says auditions for the series will continue following the chaos that erupted at a casting call over the weekend.

Panic ensued among hundreds of people waiting to audition for the show on Saturday outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan, resulting in three arrests and six injuries.





The messy scene - which can be viewed on YouTube - caused such a commotion that the street outside the hotel became littered with shoes and clothing.






Police blamed the melee on pushing and shoving that began when the line of hopefuls swelled to a throng of several thousand.
