Porn star Stormy Daniels to appear in shoot for American Vogue
STORMY Daniels is getting glossy.
The porn star is expected to appear in either the September or October issue of Vogue, according to the Huffington Post. Iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz is reportedly the photographer for the shoot, New York Post reports.
Earlier this week it was revealed that Daniels will appear in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother, which goes to air on August 17.
Beyoncé will appear on the cover of the September issue of Vogue, which could also be Anna Wintour’s final issue as editor-in-chief after helming the magazine for three decades.
A rep for Vogue said the magazine doesn’t comment on future editorial decisions or speculations.
Beyoncé previously appeared on the September issue in 2015 and has been on the cover of other Vogue issues in 2009 and 2013.
She famously didn’t give an interview for her 2015 cover.
News of Stormy’s possible Vogue appearance came as a federal judge rejected a request for a gag order that would’ve prohibited the porn star’s lawyer from discussing her lawsuit against President Donald Trump with reporters and the public.
US District Judge S. James Otero’s order came after an lawyer for Michael Cohen, Trump’s former longtime personal lawyer, alleged that Daniels’ lawyer had been running a “smear campaign” against the president.
Cohen’s lawyer, Brent Blakely, argued Michael Avenatti’s frequent TV appearances and near-daily tweets about Trump and Cohen could taint future jurors.
The judge said last week he had some concerns about statements that Avenatti has made about Cohen, but the standard for a gag order was high and it didn’t seem as though Cohen had met that burden.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has said she had sex with Trump in 2006, when he was married, a claim he denies.
Days before the 2016 presidential election, she was paid $130,000 for her silence in a deal handled by Cohen.
She’s suing to invalidate the nondisclosure agreement. Otero also agreed to continue delaying the case for another 45 days because of a federal investigation into Cohen’s business practices in New York.
Cohen argued that the criminal investigation overlapped with issues in the lawsuit and his right against self-incrimination would be adversely affected because he won’t be able to respond and defend himself.
For more than a decade, Cohen was Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer, and he has long been a key power player in the Trump Organisation and a fixture in Trump’s political life.
But last month, Trump said he hadn’t spoken with Cohen “in a long time” and that Cohen is “not my lawyer anymore.”
