Stephanie Seymour and Peter Brant Muddle Through Messy Divorce

Victoria's Secret model Stephanie Seymour and her billionaire husband, publishing mogul and art lover, Peter Brant are in the midst of an increasingly acrimonious divorce. The NY Post has all the dishy details of their recent custody hearing in Stamford, Connecticut. The pair are battling over custody of their three children. Brant has accused Seymour of being an unfit mother and Seymour was ordered to appear before the judge after missing a mandatory drug test in March, opting instead for a vacation in St. Barth with two of her children. Brant and Seymour had each agreed to submit to tests per the terms of their split.

Seymour says Brant has used a nanny in Seymour's Greenwich home to spy on her after the couple separated. The nanny quit working for Seymour last year only to pop up in Brant's employ later. A hearing on Seymour's alleged drinking and drug use is scheduled for August 6.

Seymour has been a model since she was 16, appearing in Sports Illustrated and in Guns N' Roses videos as well as being a Victoria's Secret angel and a muse for artists and working at Brant's Interview magazine. Brant's life recently became art in an installation, "Abstract Slavery" by Swiss artist Urs Fischer at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center. The piece includes a library and sitting room based on Brant's mansion and a a wax statue of Brant, lit like a candle, melts away in each room.

Kate Moss Builds Her Brand

On the heels of Kate Moss' already impressive fall ad campaign successes comes news of more coups scored by the eternally gorgeous supermodel: two more major contracts and some serious magazine exposure. On the ad campaign front, her latest big bucks gigs come courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent's beauty line (above) and renowned jeweler Bulgari, both shot in classic black-and-white.

In addition, she appears on the covers of the latest issues of both Vogue and Interview; in the latter she poses totally nude, and she also appears topless (yet again) in a stunning spread for the September issue of W magazine. All this comes as she launches her new clothing line for British retailer Topshop, to great fanfare. We predict the Kate Moss brand will develop into an extremely profitable luxury goods enterprise, with many more product lines to come.
