Elite Models' New Signing: Arsenal's Aaron

Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal and Wales footballer, has signed for Elite Model Management London. The 23-year-old midfielder - famous for his prodigious playmaking talent, and for an eye-watering leg-break (if you didn't see it, do not google it) which saw him out for nine months in 2010 - has been enlisted for the agency's new celebrity division, alongside talents including actress Rose Byrne and singer/songwriter Lianne La Havas.

"I was approached by Elite and it was perfect timing - and a great opportunity for me, as I had been thinking about doing some other things outside of my football career," Ramsey explained. "Obviously football is my main focus and always will be; I would never jeopardise that for anything. So I will have to manage my time well so that I can also take advantage of all the amazing opportunities that Elite can offer me."

Used to taking direction from some of the game's best-known managers - from Arsene Wenger, his Arsenal boss, to Wales manager Chris Coleman - Ramsey is not intimidated by fashion's biggest names. Working with a certain London-based Texan is appealing, he reveals, although one of the designer's risqué fragrance campaigns may be a long way off.

"I'd love to work with Tom Ford, his label is a real favourite of mine," he told us. "At this moment in time I wouldn't want to do any shoots with my kit off… I don't think my fiancée would be too happy about that! I still have to get used to pulling poses for the camera - it doesn't come naturally to me - I feel lost without a football close by!"

A New CEO For Harvey Nichols?!!??

FORMER Burberry chief financial officer Stacey Cartwright is tipped to be Harvey Nichols's new CEO. She would replace Joseph Wan, who is expected to retire later this year or in early 2014. Harvey Nichols said today that it "has no comment to make, but we can confirm that no appointment has been made".

Cartwright left Burberry in July this year in order to do "a consumer-facing chief executive role in 2014".  

Wan joined Harvey Nichols as CEO in 1992, and helped to build its presence on an international scale. He is also responsible for the brand's catering category, and launched the Oxo Tower restaurant on London's Southbank, as well as the fifth floor restaurant in its Knightsbridge store.

One Direction Victoria's Secret Show Truth

WE hate to be the bearer of sad tidings, but it seems that the rumors about One Direction performing at the Victoria's Secret show were just that; rumors. Yesterday's "can't confirm" has turned into a statement that is definite in the negative.

"The recent reports regarding One Direction appearing in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are untrue," the brand said in a statement last night. "The band is not performing in this year's show. We will announce our artists in early October."

No statement has been forthcoming from the band as yet, but we can't help but imagine Harry Styles and co shedding a little tear at the thought of the fun they might've had with Karlie, Candice, Miranda and the girls. Although Harry at least might be relieved at escaping a run in with another rumoured famous ex in Cara Delevingne, if she takes to the catwalk again. Taylor Swift might be enough for this week.

Sienna's Audition Advice To Poppy

POPPY DELEVINGNE has revealed that Sienna Miller gave her invaluable insider advice about breaking into acting. 

"She gave me good advice on casting, saying, 'Just remember they really want you to get this role and they want you to be there'. With that, I just became a lot more open."

But despite that, she hasn't found it to be a walk in the park. "I'd go to castings with 20 other girls, who look identical, and leave with another 20 behind me," she told The Telegraph.

It seems like the acting ambition runs in the Delevingne blood, with Poppy's model sister Cara also about to make her acting debut in the forthcoming film Kids In Love.

Model Meets Gamer

CARA DELEVINGNE is set to follow in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld by appearing as a DJ in the world famous Grand Theft Auto V video game. The designer appeared in the game's previous incarnation, providing a soundtrack as gamers drive around the virtual landscape - and, by the look of the Instagram picture she posted this afternoon, Cara could not be more excited about taking up the mantle.

"I am so happy to announce that I will be a radio DJ in @rockstargames new GTA V coming soon! Tune in! Woop woop," she posted. In the accompanying image, Delevingne wears a baseball cap bearing the words "Los Santos" - a fictional city from the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

The game is released tomorrow, and until then we will have our fingers crossed that its creators, Rock Star Games, keep her virtual persona true to the cool tomboy we all know and love; no typical game babe looks for her please.
