Mario Testino has hit modeling gold. Catherine McNeil is on the lips of every power player in the fashion world. The barely legal babe is expected to be "the next Kate Moss or Gisele Bundchen." Catherine has already secured a six month contract and she will also be staring in a Versace campaign next to Kate Moss this August. That is just an addition to opening the Givenchy show in Paris. McNeil also sports a tongue ring and loves her tomboy side.

The Australian native is more of a classic beauty and even boasts (gasp) curves. The new kid on the block already has over 34 shows under her belt as she walked the runways of Paris, Milan and New York last February. Testino couldn't be happier with his rare find.

"I think Catherine has got what it takes to be an amazing model. That's why I've put her on an exclusive contract. It's one thing to spot someone early in their career--I'm never afraid to take risks on a new girl--but it's a great luxury to be able to develop what starts as an instinct and turns into a rich working relationship. It means we'll have time to make some fantastic photographs together." Mario gushes.

Lets all just hope she keeps her nose out of trouble. (Lame pun intended.)

For all you Famester fans that can't get enough of Lilo giving Kate Moss' coke habit a run for it's money, there is a lively discussion on all thing Lindsay in the Gossip Forums.
