Irina Shayk Language Russia Tom Brady

TOM BRADY: SMARTER THAN HE LOOKS

Tom Brady’s romance with model Irina Shayk is heating up SO fast that he’s already learning Russian! Although she’s bilingual and fluent in English, Russian is Irina’s first language because she was born there before moving to Paris to model. A friend says that Tom was playing the field and dating a few other models but now he’s focused all his attention on Irina. He hired a tutor to teach him Russian, which makes perfect sense because he learned to speak Portuguese when he was married to his Brazilian wife Gisele Bundchen.

Basketball Brittney Griner Prison Russia

BRITTNEY GRINER’S LIPS ARE SEALED- FOR NOW

Been wondering why you haven’t heard a word from 6’9″ WNBA superstar, Brittney Griner since she was recently released from that Russian penal colony? It so happens, she’s being offered big bucks for her first tell-all interview, but she needs to get PERMISSION before she can reveal anything. According to an insider, Brittney promised the US government NOT to say a word about her time in Russia until other American prisoners have returned home. Although she’s been courted by every morning show as well as TV journalists like Oprah Winfrey, Brittney is respecting the wishes of the government and keeping quiet.

Art Booze Ron Wood Russia The Rolling Stones

ROLLING STONE RONNIE WOOD SUCCESSFULLY COMBINES DRINKING AND PAINTING

We knew Ronnie Wood was a boozehound, but we didn’t realize he is an accomplished artist! The Rolling Stones musician is seen above, bringing some of his paintings (mostly of women!) to a South London gallery for an upcoming show. Wood has long had a talent for art – he won an award for his drawings as a child and his work has become collectible. Lately he’s been getting lots of negative publicity for leaving his wife for a Russian teenager and other liquor fueled antics. How this affects the value of his art remains to be seen.

"Salt" Angelina Jolie Anna Chapman Moscow Russia Spy

ANGELINA JOLIE WANTS TO MEET RUSSIAN SPY ANNA CHAPMAN

Angelina Jolie has personally requested that sexy Russian spy Anna Chapman be invited to the Moscow premier of her movie “Salt,” because she hopes to meet her. The NY Post says that the movie’s local promoters are trying to locate Anna who is presumably being interrogated by her superiors along with the nine other deported agents. Her exact location is not known. Moscow film promoters aim to please Angelina so they’ve sent an invitation to Anna’s last home address in Russia and hope for the best. Angelina plays a CIA Agent suspected of being a double agent in the movie and Anna’s presence at the premier would bring an avalanche of publicity for “Salt.” There’s always the chance also, that Angelina would like to bring Anna’s story to the big screen.

Ana Makarenko Engaged Mickey Rourke Models Russia

MICKEY ROURKE INVOLVED IN MARITAL ESPIONAGE

We have to admit we were relieved to hear that Mickey Rourke, 57, is NOT engaged to marry his young Russian girlfriend Elena Kuletskaya. They did look awfully domestic when they picked out a dog together. Mickey’s spokesperson said the entire “engagement” story printed in the New York Post was NOT true and, in fact, Mickey’s girlfriend’s name is Ana Makarenko. We can’t tell the difference between the two lanky blonde models and we wonder how Mickey got tangled up with them. (Presumably that is Ana, above) Marrying a Russian model around 35 years younger may SOUND like a good idea, but it isn’t, Mickey.

We didn’t realize that Mickey Rourke is a huge star in Russia. The Russians LOVE his bad-boy, womanizing villainous image, and Mickey has started hanging out in Russian clubs and restaurants in LA where he gets loads of attention. For the past six months, Mickey has been studying Russian because he plays a Russian character in “Iron Man 2,” and now that he speaks the language, he’s even MORE popular. According to an insider, Russians treat Mickey “like Michael Jackson” – whatever that means.
