Howard recalls, "He lets me come in and talk to him and was like, 'What's on your mind?' and I said, 'I watched the show last night... It was good but y'all cut me out.' "He was like, 'Well, that happens,' and I said, 'I told everybody in my school that I was on the show and I was embarrassed.' "He said, 'Well you don't tell nobody that you're on the show, you let people call you and say they saw you.'" The teenage Howard then offered his one-time boss a parting slight: "(I said), 'It's been nice working with you, I'd like to do it again but if this is how it is I don't want to be in this business.'" Elizabeth Hurley 'too Mumsy' For Boho Label.... British fashion label Monsoon is reportedly searching for a new spokeswoman after a £1 million ($1.95 million) modelling contract with Elizabeth Hurley failed to increase profits for the design house.

Hurley, who recently married businessman Arun Nayar in a number of ceremonies in the UK and India, is apparently "too mumsy" (mother-like) for the label who normally target a younger, more bohemian market.

A source tells British newspaper The Sunday Mirror, "The label has started investigating possible replacements for Liz.

"We had a disappointing period before Christmas and hoped that signing Liz would improve the figures. While the disappointing profits aren't Liz's fault, the company wants to shake things up and get back to its core market.

"People have suggested that Liz's image is too mumsy. She's also a bit too refined for Monsoon, which sells boho-chic clothes rather than tight jeans and low-cut tops."
