Ireland Baldwin, 17, is following in her mother’s footsteps. The daughter of 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin and Charlie St. Cloud actress Kim Basinger, has signed a modeling deal with IMG. The 6’2″ teen is thrilled with the opportunity, recently tweeting “Officially working for @TwoManagement and @IMGmodels! I’m blessed, happy, and ready to WEEEEERK.” Since the news broke, the natural beauty has been prepping for her big debut into the modeling community by instagramming (see above image) and keeping her body in tip-top shape. “I’ve got a ways to go, but hard work is paying off!” she wrote. “Eating clean and training hard!” Hopefully this will now make her known for something other than her father’s irate phone message that was released to the public, in which he called her a “thoughtless little pig” because she didn’t answer the phone when he called, followed by him threatening to “straighten you out” next time he saw her. ~Brittnee Fleming
