JARED LETO HAS A SECRET

In case you haven’t noticed, Jared Leto, 50, is obsessed with fashion. He looks young for his age, and always shows up at red carpet events and premiers extravagantly attired – and without a date. (He’s not above sporting an occasional skirt.) Through it all, he has maintained this unattractive beard, but the fact is, he doesn’t have to attract women. Leto’s little secret is the 27 year old Russian model girlfriend, Valery Kaufman, that he keeps under wraps! They were first seen together shopping for groceries in NY seven years ago. Since then they’ve been spotted hiking or rock climbing- but NOT at Hollywood or public events. This photo shows Jared enjoying St Tropez this weekend and odds are, Valery is there SOMEWHERE , lurking in the background…

SECOND GENERATION SUPERMODEL: GRACE BURNS

Christy Turlington’s daughter Grace Burns is now following in the footsteps of Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber as a cover girl. Remember, Christy and Cindy have been friends for years – they were both among the top Supermodels of the 90’s. (Both supermodels passed on their good looks to their lucky daughters.) Kaia, 20, started modeling at 14, when she appeared on the cover of UK’s Pop Magazine. She’s gone on to become a hugely successful model. Christy didn’t want her daughter Grace to model until she turned 18 – as soon as she did, she landed a Pop cover herself. The family was celebrating her first success in this photo.

PETE DAVIDSON IS NOW A MODEL

We can’t help but wonder how much Kim Kardashian had to do with the fact that Pete Davidson is now the face of H&M’s menswear. No SNL comic that we know of as ever gone on to become a fashion icon. Since Pete was pulled into the limelight with Kim he has been bombarded with offers – seems like guys his age all want to be like him. H&M explains that young men “can relate to Pete – they buy vintage and mix in a few pieces from H&M.” Pete has also worked with Calvin Klein selling their briefs and a couple of other menswear lines. Pete Davidson is now making serious money as a model!

LUCKY LOURDES LEON DID NOT INHERIT HER MOTHER’S HEIGHT

Lourdes León’s modeling career is still booming – her latest conquest is Calvin Klein, who wants to show that he’s not as classic as he used to be. Lourdes looks good here because she’s not wearing the heavy makeup and false eyelashes she usually sports. She looks her age- 25- and like her mother Madonna, she does not shave her underarms. Note that she’s wearing MEN’S CK boxer shorts – Calvin wants his customers to wear whatever underwear is comfortable for them – no matter their gender. Lourdes is lucky to be around 5’7,” that’s 5 or 6 inches taller than her mother…

IS DAMIAN HURLEY GAY OR STRAIGHT?

We have never seen a SON so closely resemble his mother. In fact, Damian Hurley, 19, is the image of his famously beautiful mother Elizabeth Hurley, and bears no resemblance to his wealthy father Steve Bing, who committed suicide by jumping out of the window of his Century City apartment on the 27th floor. Steve cut Damian OUT of his will, so the handsome teen is making money as a model. This is a photo from his Free People campaign and it does raise the question: gay or straight? Or somewhere in between? Damian and his mother insist “straight,” but he’s certainly not the average male model…

ELIZABETH HURLEY’S MODEL SON DAMIAN CAN STRIKE A POSE

We find the relationship between Elizabeth Hurley and her son actor/model Damian, 19, weirdly fascinating. Not only do they look almost exactly alike, but they have the SAME haircut. (Damian looks nothing like his wealthy father Steve Bing, who killed himself last year by jumping out the window of his 27th floor Century City apartment.) Elizabeth and Damian turned up at the Versace show in Milan – both showing some skin- but at least Damian had the sense not to wear a Versace gold print. Note that Damian is not above striking some open-mouth model poses for paparazzi. Elizabeth says Damian is an A student and she hopes he will continue with his education and just do modeling on the side, but that seems improbable…

KARLIE KLOSS DOES IT HER WAY

At 6’2,” supermodel Karlie Kloss, 28, towers over her mother-in-law Seryl Kushner as they take a walk with Karlie’s new baby Levi. Karlie and her husband Josh Kushner (Jared Kushner’s brother) started dating in 2012, but sources say his family had no interest in meeting her because she wasn’t Jewish. In 2018, she converted to Judaism and they married soon after. But Karlie has not converted to Republicanism and has remained not only a feminist, but a Democrat. (Josh is also a Democrat.) Naturally she has a convoluted relationship with her in-laws. She and Josh have marched for gun control and she was seen wearing a Biden/Harris hat before the last election. Whether Karlie and Ivanka ever become close as sisters-in-law, remains to be seen.

ANYA TAYLOR-JOY’S GAMBIT

Anya Taylor-Joy is constantly being “discovered.” At 16, the was discovered by a modeling agent while shopping, and started a career on the runway. A talent agent spotted her modeling, and introduced her to acting. Now she’s 24 and has appeared in a lot of films (she played Barack Obama’s college girlfriend in the film Barry) but in America, WE discovered her during the pandemic. She played the chess prodigy in the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, and had everybody talking about her. She turned up at The Golden Globes, The SAG Awards and The Critics Choice Awards – looking impossibly glamorous – and she won. Today she was back to modeling in the streets of New York- filming segments for Tiffany ads with a male model – and no doubt earning a LOT more than she did when she started her career…

UNDERCOVER MODEL ON THE SUBWAY

You never know who’s going to sit next to you on the subway to Brooklyn. In this case, it’s a successful model in a colorful outfit slumped next to the exit. (We like that she’s obediently wearing her mask.) Lourdes Leon’s new ad campaign for Stella McCartney x Adidas just came out and she looks much different in the ad photos with all those braids. Her mother Madonna is only 5’2” (she claims 5’4,” but we’ve seen her close up) but lucky Lourdes got a little height from her 6’2” father Carlos, and she’s 5’7”.

WHATEVER LOLA WANTS

Madonna’s daughter Lourdes (professional name Lola Leon) is cashing in on her famous mom and landing lucrative modeling jobs. The companies advertising LOVE all the attention their ads get when Lola, 24, is featured. Most recently, the aspiring actress/model modeled for the new Parade X JuicyCouture underwear collection, and the company is thrilled by the positive response. At most, Lola is 5’7”, but she doesn’t hesitate to take her clothes off or flaunt underarm and leg hair, so designers consider her to be a typical modern and ultra-hip girl. At least she spent four years studying at the University of Michigan (don’t know if she got a degree) before she started her theatrical career.
