London’s Corinthia Hotel is partnering up with Trafalgar Studios and its new play, The Leisure Society starring Ed Stoppard and featuring a model performance from Agyness Deyn. The Corinthia’s The Leisure Society package features a luxurious overnight stay, pre-theatre dining and breakfast at the hotel’s celebrated Northall restaurant and of course tickets for two to see the play itself. You’ll dine on executive chef, Garry Hollihead’s seasonal British menu where highlights include Severn and Wye salmon gravlax, Cumbrian sirloin steak and classics such as the Jam roly poly before trotting round the corner to watch the show. The Corinthia hosted the play’s first night party last week where Deyn declared “I’m used to flying solo with modelling, so I’m loving the sense of team work. We just feed off each other and have fun!” Good food and fun. Sounds like a great combination.

Package available through 31March, from £359, call 0808 129 5550 to book.

Can this be happening, Simon Fuller taking over the world?

He certainly is trying. After taking over the music industry in both the UK and America Simon Fuller is now taking control of the fashion world. His company 19 Entertainment has just acquired 51% (a controlling stake) in the world famous Storm Model Agency that represents models and starts including Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, Lily Cole and Emma Watson.

19 Entertainment is the company behind brands American Idol and Victoria and David Beckhams luxury label as well as designer Roland Mouret, singer Kelly Clarkson and Scottish tennis player Andy Murray. This makes 19 Entertainment one the largest management firms in the world covering fashion, music and sport.

Simon Fuller founded 19 in 1985 and named it after his first client, Paul Hardcastles hit record about the Vietnam was. In 2005 CKX bought the agency for an estimated $195 million. 19's strategy and aim has always been to form strong relationships and partnerships with 'high-value entertainment companies or individuals.'

'Storm Models is one of those special companies with a unique sense of style and integrity,' said Simon Fuller. 'With 19 moving more into the world of fashion and style, the opportunity to join forces with Storm and its incredible heritage and dynamic approach to the future, was irresistible. Together we can push the boundaries, blur the lines and redefine what a model agency should be in this fast moving world where fashion is playing an increasingly important role in setting and reflecting culture and tastes'

Sarah Doukas founded Storm Model Agency nearly 22 years ago with a mission to discovering new modeling talent. 'Storm has exceeded my expectations and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved to date,' commented Sarah Doukas. 'We are a London-based business and it has long been my plan to develop and broaden the agency to benefit our incredible talent, and to work directly with my own teams in other influential areas. Working with Simon Fuller and 19 will provide Storm with the opportunity to work competitively, creatively and on an international level'.

The annual Forbes Celebrity 100 Power List has been unleashed, and pushing us all into insignificance is Mrs Jolie-Pitt herself, Angelina - Queen of the Celebs.

Judged on a mix of annual earnings and media visibility,  the Forbes list determines those public figures whose influence has spread globally into the very material of our everyday lives. Jolie has pushed Oprah Winfrey from her top spot, despite earning less than a tenth of her wage, showing just how powerful the Jolie brand has become. Interestingly more so than her husband's profile (he ranked ninth...one place behind Jennifer Aniston, that is). Indeed it was a great year for women generally, with the highest male, Tiger Woods, coming in fifth. Forbes spokeswoman Lacey Rose called it the "year of the woman. What we see at the top of the list is tabloid-targeted people who command a big attraction through their artistic work and at the news stands".

In terms of nationality, Britain ranked fairly poorly with Coldplay coming in top at fifteenth, and the list allowed no praise for this year's golden girl actress Kate Winslet, or the nation's favourite foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay. Elsewhere, Barack Obama charged forward with his plight to change history by becoming the first sitting president to feature on the list, thanks to the sales of his books and obviously the intense press coverage surrounding him during the election.
