They may be big name A-listers in America, but Victoria's Secret models Karolina Kurkova and Alessandra Ambrosio, and even Jessica Simpson are merely women of the night -- in Russia!
In the naughty section of the Moscow Times are ads for escorts, complete with photos -- of these three stars! According to the ad, Kurkova's working name is Kristina, Ambrosio's is Masha and both are available 24 hours a day. Hot damn! If it's really Jessica, that would explain why her name is Lena; it has only two syllables -- something she'd be able to remember.

Fashion-forward pop icon Madonna is used to performing in front a well-dressed crowd. But her gig in Moscow on Tuesday brought a whole new look from her fans -- sort of.
Madonna played her first-ever concert in Russia on Tuesday evening at Moscow's Luzhniki stadium in front of thousands of fans and 10,000 soldiers and riot police. Amid mafia kidnap fears and warnings of Chechen terrorist attacks, the soldiers were decked out in full gear and "armed to the teeth," according to The Daily Mirror.
One fan told the paper, "I was at the G8 summit and the security was comparable. Everywhere you looked there was a ring of security guards. It did make it hard to dance when you're standing beside a guy in a uniform."
Reports say the concert venue was only two-thirds full, no doubt because ticket prices were nearly two and a half times a monthly Muscovite wage.

Madonna's tour finally makes its highly anticipated stop at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium. Russia, which just happens to be the largest country in the world, also happens to have one of the lowest monthly costs of living. In fact, the legal minimum monthly wage for Russians is 1,100 rubles, which equals $41. That being said, the cheapest tickets for Madonna's concert in Russia went for $96 American bucks, more than double a month's income. Since Madge's shows are sold out, that means people had to save lots of rubles in order to afford their very own glimpse of the Material Girl.
On another note, the designer of the Luzhniki Stadium, Nodar Kancheli, tells the Moscow News he does not exclude the possibility of the stadium collapsing during Madonna's concert. The architect is notorious for his work on the Transvaal Water Park, which collapsed in February of 2004, killing 28 people and injuring countless others.
So when we say we hope that Madonna raises the roof, we don't mean that literally.
