Miranda Kerr Confirms She’s No Longer a Victoria’s Secret Angel
By Hallie Stephens | omg!
Miranda Kerr is officially a fallen Angel! Last week, rumors swirled that Victoria’s Secret had decided not to renew the brunette bombshell’s contract because she was “difficult” to work with and didn’t draw in as many sales as her fellow Angels.
But now the gorgeous model is clearing up the rumors and sharing her side of the story. In a recent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Miranda confirmed that she is no longer committed to the lingerie company. The Victoria’s Secret veteran revealed that her Angel duties were too time-consuming and were taking precious time away from her 2-year-old son, Flynn, and her hunky Hollywood hubby, Orlando Bloom. She explained, “The thing is, I’ve been modeling since I was 13. I’m now entering a new phase in my life. I have felt this coming since my son was born and, after I became a mother, I realized I needed to prioritize my time.” She added, “I’m just not in a position to commit to a full contract at this time … It’s three months at a bare minimum.”
Still, the company's president and chief marketing officer Ed Razek told omg! last week that she will always be an Angel to him, and that he's "already invited her to walk the runway in this year's fashion show and, happily, she's agreed."
For now, we'll assume that Miranda is hanging up her Angel wings, but is she making a huge career misstep? Check out the vid to see how other Victoria's Secret Angel alums have found success after the catwalk!

Tom Cruise Divorce Quotes False, Actor Did Not Speak About Personal Life, Says Rep
By Taryn Ryder | omg!
Contrary to original reports, Tom Cruise has yet to talk about his divorce from Katie Holmes.
An interview Cruise did on German TV network ProSieben was picked up by the German tabloid Bunte, which then mixed "some real and some made up" quotes and attributed the answers to personal questions, a rep for Cruise tells omg!.
"The entire interview was about his career. He was not asked any personal questions," continues Cruise's rep.
The 50-year-old actor, who is currently promoting "Oblivion" (out April 19), was more than happy to discuss his film and some great memories he had while shooting in Iceland.
"For my 50th birthday [the director] Joe and the studio gave me a bubble bike," Cruise said on ProSieben. "It was so amazing ... I was allowed to ride it in areas where you are no longer allowed to drive. [Iceland] is a beautiful country."
A few things initially reported, Cruise actually did say, including: "It's great to be 50 … I enjoy it." The actor also revealed he would be OK if kids Suri, Connor, or Isabella expressed interest in acting since they have grown up around movie sets.
However, the quote that got the most pickup on Tuesday was when Cruise allegedly opened up about his divorce for the first time.
"I did not expect that," the actor was quoted as saying, along with: "Life is a challenge…To be 50 and have experiences and think you have everything under control, and then it hits you — that's what life is … Life is tragicomic. You need a certain sense of humor."
These false quotes made headlines, not only on omg!, but also on E!, USA Today, The Huffington Post, Extra, and The Hollywood Reporter (just to name a few).
The ProSieben interviewer, Steven Gaetjen, backs up Cruise's rep, telling People that he never asked Cruise about Holmes or the divorce.
