Behold, The World's Tallest Model

Talk about a big splash! An American model measuring 205 cm (she's about 6'9") is set to be featured on the cover of Australian magazine Zoo Weekly.




You think you've seen it all. The model, named Eve, appears on the cover of the magazine's current issue alongside a 162 cm-tall (5'3") Aussie model.

On Seinfeld, George Constanza dreamed of one day sleeping with a giant woman. But George was a short, bald fella. To him, tall meant about 5'11".

Eve is truly head and shoulders above the other models out there.

"No other magazine has put a woman who's nearly seven feel tall on the cover," editor Paul Merrill said, and he's probably correct in that assumption.

"We had ... her bikini specially made, but it was worth it."

The Jay Leno Show Ends

NBC affiliates are pleased over Jay Leno’s exit from prime-time television, and are hoping that replacement shows can draw higher ratings.

“The Jay Leno Show” had been touted by NBC as the future of television–although the program was expected to draw lower ratings than scripted shows, it cost less to produce. Now that experiment is over, clearing the way for more dramas, comedies and news programs in the time slot.

NBC affiliates had been grumbling about the low ratings of “The Jay Leno Show” at 10 p.m. and that the program was bringing down the ratings for the shows that followed it, including local news shows and “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.”

Casey Johnson Death Linked to Diabetes

Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson and Johnson fortune and Tila Tequila's fiance died yesterday evening at her LA home, and although the cause of death has not yet been determined, Casey Johnson did have a history of diabetic comas and there is some talk that this could have contributed to her death.



Casey Johnson's autopsy has now been completed but the cause of death is still pending toxicology tests. The LA County Coroner has stated that there were no signs on trauma on Casey's body and foul play is not suspected.

Insulin needles were found in Casey's home however, but there has been no official cause of death at this time.

Casey Johnson was diagnosed with diabetes at eight years old and she was involved in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in the hopes to find a cure.

Before her death on January 4th, Casey Johnson had twice fallen in to a diabetic coma and had to be taken to hospital at least once.
