Madison Michele TV Appearance and Modeling Assignments - Requests

I'd like to make a list of Madison appearances and photos I don't have, and just put the call out there for anyone who's willing to help me.  Any help is appreciated, and I'll gladly grant you a plug for your own site if you'd like.

Okay...

TV

Madison had a role in the 1997 FOX TV movie "Steel Chariots".  This does not seem to exist online, nor is there a DVD.  It involves NASCAR, so maybe a NASCAR fan somewhere has it archived?

"Model Homes" - This was a 1998 special on HGTV.  It featured models giving tours of their homes.  This is one I'd love to see, as it's one of the very few candid Madison moments on film.  Seems to be lost forever.

"ABC in Concert" - Madison hosted this show in the late '90s.  Several "ABC in Concert" clips are on Youtube, but it's hard to find ones that feature Madison.  If you can find any, please send me the links.

Madison apparently hosted various shows for HGTV circa 2004.  I don't know their names, but would love to see them.

Perhaps her only TV interview was on Conan O'Brien.  She appeared on the Aug. 13, 1997 episode of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien".  The other guests were Wayne Newton and Southside Johnny.

"The Larry Sanders Show" - I've seen references to her being on the set of this in 1997, but have no confirmation that she's actually on any episode.

"Halloween Jam VII (1999)" - From ABC's late night music programming.  Can't find any clips online, even though popular acts like Smashing Pumpkins were there.

"King of the Jungle" - From around 2005 on Animal Planet.  Surprisingly, her season can't be found online.

"Entertainment Tonight" - ET did a few stories on the 1995 Wonderbra competition.  They covered the announcement of her win, and even interviewed her with her mom.  Sometime around October 1995.

Her original Wonderbra bio said she had already made appearances on TV shows and commercials, so who knows what else is out there.

Public Appearances
 Madison appeared at the 1999 Maxim Sub-Zero party.  I can find NO photos of this event at all online.  She also appeared at the 1999 and 2000 VH1 Divas Live concert, and the 1998-2000 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards on the red carpet.

Magazines
Madison's most famous pictorials were in Stuff and Gear magazine.  Those scans are online, but if anyone knows of how to find any outtakes, let me know.  The Stuff photographer was Dominick Guillemot, and I don't know the name of the Gear photographer. 

Madison also appeared in a magazine called "Supermodels Unlimited" in 2008.  No scans of this are online.  The photographer of this shoot was Christina Villaflor.

In March 1997 she appeared in Thailand's 'Cleo' magazine.

Women's Wear Daily;10/16/1995, Vol. 170 Issue 71, p20 - Found a summary online, but not the actual article or any photos.  It's a story from the day Madison was announced as the winner in the Wonderbra contest.

Modeling
Her most famous modeling work is for Wonderbra.  She's also modeled for Bali's, Hanes, Triumph, OHP Pajamas and a few other companies.  There are several archives of Triumph International advertisements online, but they rarely list the models names.  Madison modeled for Triumph around 1994 to 1998.
Triumph International and Wonderbra ads show up regularly on eBay  if you search under Collectibles.  There are numerous eBay sites, and most of Madison's Triumph modeling was in Asia, so Asian eBay sites might be the best bet.  If you find any scans with Madison, please let me know.
