Major Munster: Plus sized, tatted up model Tess Holliday (Munster) has been snatched up and signed by UK-based modeling agency, MiLK Model Management. This history making move is huge simply because Holliday is the first model of her size (22) and height (5'5) to be signed to a major modeling contract. She has been spreading body acceptance on her Instagram account since early 2013 with the hashtag #effyourbeautystandards which encouraged women of all shapes and sizes to post positive images of themselves online.

Iggy Mad: Iggy Azalea stay beefin'... This time the Aussie rapper took issue with a set of photos from her collaboration with shoe designer Steve Madden, with whom she designed her first shoe collection (a deal which Irv Gotti may have set up for her). Apparently Azalea felt like a few of the images that appeared on a now deleted Tumblr page were not up to her liking and she went to Twitter to rant:
            "Steve madden did the most disgusting photo shoot ever and never even told me about it, I'm just now seeing as its      uploaded on some random tumblr page and iam [sic] livid."

Iggy quickly deleted the inflammatory tweets, and followed up with this love letter:

            "I love Steve and he gets it! Artists clash sometimes, it doesn't mean I dislike the brand. I love Steve Madden as an individual and as a company. I have 3 more seasons I'm making with these guys and I'm going to enjoy it.
