New Moon star Kellan Lutz has reportedly signed a new deal to model for designer Calvin Klein.

The 24-year-old actor plays the role of Emmett Cullen in the hit Twilight Saga and it is claimed he will be featured in a famous campaign for the brand.

A source said: “He’s going to be their new Mark Wahlberg. Kellan has been signed to Calvin Klein for a huge campaign that will feature him in his skivvies all over billboards and in magazines.”

The source added: “The executives have a plan to mode the ads very similar to the famous Mark Wahlberg campaign in the 90s.

“They want to recreate the look of the hugely successful ads, and who is better than Kellan Lutz to fill out little underwear?”

A rep for Calvin Klein was not immediately available for comment.

The Beautiful Life lives again – on web

The Beautiful Life – dumped after just two episodes – has been revived on the web.

A TV ratings failure, it will now be seen on YouTube from Thursday. Six episodes were produced before it was cancelled in September.

Executive producer Ashton Kutcher made the announcement on YouTube, along with a woman named “iJustine”.

He said: “Nobody knew it was on and so the rating on the TV wasn’t happening. I was like listen, there’s no way, if you put this thing on the web more than half a million people will watch it on the web. So my feeling is, I want this to be the first show ever that gets more viewers on the web than what it got on terrestrial television.”

He also tweeted:”thanks to HP (@hpnews) & @youtube The Beautiful Life is back http://bit.ly/8CtA7O watch TBL at www.youtube.com/tbl – 13 minutes ago from web.”

The show, which centred on the lives of a group of male and female models sharing a home in NYC, drew most attention for its inclusion of Mischa Barton, the troubled starlet whose summer saw her briefly in a hospital under a psychiatric order.

Scarlett Johansson and Liev – ‘we’re both really hairy’

Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schreiber have joked they have a lot in common – including the fact they are both ‘really, really hairy’.

The actors – who will appear on Broadway in A View From The Bridge beginning in January 2010 – posed together in their Christmas best.

“We’re both really, really hairy,” Schreiber, 42, said.

“That’s true,” agreed Johansson, 25. They’re also both half-Jewish, they said.

Schreiber plays Eddie Carbone in the play, a Brooklyn longshoreman obsessed with his 17-year-old niece Catherine, played by Johansson.

Johansson also admitted she would rather stay at home for New Year’s Eve.

She said: “Going from one party to the next and surfing to find the right thing, and being in a taxi cab when the clock strikes – I’m so over that stuff. At the ripe old age of 25.

“I have the most fun when I’m surrounded by people I love in one place that’s comfortable and we can hear each other. You can play card games, watch movies. I’m happy.”

Joking, she added: “So, you can find me at da club with a bottle full of bub is what I’m trying to say.”
