Chanel Iman's 21st-birthday celebrations (playing out tomorrow) are taking place on a private island off the shore of Jamaica. The supermodel rented  it just three days ago, as you would, and is throwing a reggae-themed party. Asked about her first legal drinks, she said: “I’m pretty sure in Jamaica you don’t have to be 21. But my first, um, American legal drink … I guess like rum. I’m a rum girl. Maybe a Pina Colada.”
