Allie Crandell Banned From Fashion Web Site

Allie Crandell has been told she can no longer model for fashion retail Web site Revolve until she puts on weight.

After Crandell appeared on the site modelling clothes by BCBG Max Azria, complaints poured in. "As a normal, healthy woman with a healthy body type," wrote one shopper, "how can I possibly imagine what this dress would look like on me when it is shown on an emaciated frame?"

Crandell's arms look bony and sinewy in the pictures, and her waist is impossibly small.

Revolve said they won't feature Crandell until she gains weight. The site issued a statement saying, "We are working closely with both the model and her agent to get her to a healthier size. She won't be appearing in any of our new product batches or in any of our fashion editorial photos moving forward until the issue is adequately addressed. We have been attempting to respect the privacy of the model in question while dealing with the issue on our end."

The painfully thin model also appeared on MTV reality show "The City," a spin-off of "The Hills," in which Whitney Port works for fashion designer Diane von Furstenburg and a PR company. Fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone told Crandell she was too thin, and Crandell claimed she ate healthily.

It does appear that Crandell is unhealthily underweight - her head looks too large for her body, and her arms are like sticks. If this really is the state of her body when she eats normally, perhaps she should try eating a diet that's richer in healthy fats and protein, just to put on a few more pounds. The commenter above was right - it's impossible for a normal-sized woman to see what a dress will look like on her when someone so thin is modelling it. And it almost goes without saying that featuring such an emaciated model means promoting distorted body images for women.

Whitney Port Is Sad That "The City" Is Over

First The Hills ended, and now The City.

The MTV reality show, which followed California Girl Whitney Port as she broke into world of New York's fashion industry, won't be back for a third season, its star confirms.

"It's always sad when one major chapter in your life comes to a close, but for me, this is the beginning of an entirely new one," Whitney wrote on her official blog. "I loved filming The City. It was just such an adventure and I'm so grateful for every opportunity it gave me."

The show, which was a spin-off of The Hills (itself a spin-off of Laguna Beach), also starred Olivia Palermo as Whitney's fashionable nemesis, Roxy Olin as a friend and roommate and People's Revolution's Kelly Cutrone as her no-nonsense mentor in the fashion PR world, among others.

Unlike The Hills, which came to a close with an elaborate series finale, fans of The City will have to settle with the season 2 finale, which had Whitney facing Kelly after taking a meeting with a competing PR firm.

"I'm so excited for whatever is next for me," Port's blog continues. "There are definitely a few things in the works, but right now I'm primarily focusing on my clothing line Whitney Eve. After all, it is my baby. I'm just so happy to be back home, I can finally spend unlimited time with those I love."

'The Hills' Was 'Not Scripted,' Kelly Cutrone Says

Was it real or fake? That's the question many fans seem to be considering since credits rolled on "The Hills" for the last time on Tuesday night. The show's creator, Adam DiVello, revealed on Thursday (July 15) that the final moment between Brody and Kristin was staged. But a onetime castmember of the hit reality series, PR maven Kelly Cutrone — now on MTV's "The City" — insists that everything else on the show is for real.

"Well, not really, because the show's not scripted," Cutrone told MTV News when asked whether fans should now re-think the show given the finale episode. "It's just not. I've been on the show, it's not scripted. I think it's a whole piss-take on everybody going, 'Is the show scripted? Is it not scripted?' "

Plus, Cutrone said, it was the best possible way to end a show that is, in fact, a reality show.

"I mean the show's got to end somehow, and if the show's based in reality, how do you end something that's real? I mean, what do you do? So the whole [thing] was a flip," she concluded. "I thought it was funny that it ended with Brody!"

The City (Season 2) Ep 7 'The British Are Coming'

Olivia puts her job on the line when she fails to interview Marc Jacobs backstage as promised and then has Louise step in for her when she's late to the Badgley Mischka show. Meanwhile, Roxy impresses Kelly at work when she helps run a fashion show and Whitney pursues new business opportunities with Maybelline, who is interested in showing her line at Miami Fashion Week.

Roxy's nerves are on edge when assigns her to help run a fashion and threatens to fire her if she messes it up.

Whitney listens to Kelly's fashion show etiquette advice and agrees to go for inspiration.

Olivia promises Joe she can get a backstage interview with Marc Jacobs at his show. At the same meeting, Erin suggest using Louise Roe as an ELLE.com contributor, in front of Olivia. 

Whitney attends the Charlotte Ronson show with Samantha but the girls are distracted when they see Louise - who is rumored to be Freddie Fackelmayer's (Whitney's ex) girlfriend. Whitney and Samantha meet Louise back stage and confirm she used to date Freddie.

Whitney meets with Maybelline and the cosmetics giant suggests a possible joint fashion show in Miami.

Joe and Olivia attend the Marc Jacobs show where Joe puts the pressure on Olivia to deliver an interview.

Joe and Erin aren't pleased when Olivia is late to the Badgley Mischka show after failing to interview Marc Jacobs.

With Olivia a no-show, Joe asks Louise to pinch hit for ELLE.com and interview Badgley Mischka in her place.

Louise is a hit, and the camera loves her, as do Joe and Erin.

Olivia shows up late (she overslept) and watches Louise shine from the sidelines.

Kelly congratulates Roxy on a job well done and tells Whitney that Maybelline selected Whitney Eve to show at Miami Fashion Week.

Roxy and Whitney are elated to hear the news but are surprised to hear Kelly won't be going with them.

Erin meets with ELLE's Editor-In-Chief, Robbie Myers, to tell her about Olivia's Marc Jacobs debacle and push Louise as a replacement.

Robbie seems to be on board with Erin's plan and promises to "make a call."
