At Models & Moguls, we are very sad and almost in disbelief of the news of Michael Jackson’s passing.

Even though he was so much a part of our lives and his songs were the soundtracks of many of our childhoods and other deep personal moments…we really know so little about who he really was.

We lost the light of two brilliant burning stars in the world of Models & Moguls.

MTV has released a sneak peak at M. Night Shyamalan’s “Last Airbender” trailer. Watch and savor. This little morsel is going to have to tide you over until next July. (I wonder if Devon Aoki will be in it?)

So Fox News, has reported that Supermodel Devon Aoki (Miho in Sin City) was forced to run around with a 30 pound prop Gun while filming the movie “Mutant Chronicles”.

Paul Harris of The Observer reports on the precarious situation the Weinstein brothers, of Miramax fame, have found themselves in.

According to Forbes, there are plenty of billionaires who are good at sports. But there are none who became billionaires through sports.
