JUSTIN BIEBER: INSPIRED BY GEORGE MICHAEL

Justin Bieber is hoping to make his musical comeback and he’s relying on his wife Hailey and her famous girlfriends to help propel him back to the top. Justin released his last album in 2021 and postponed his accompanying tour in 2022. He’s taken a self imposed hiatus since then, but now he’s getting ready to drop a new album and wants Hailey and some of her fellow model friends like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid to appear in the video. Justin hopes to mimic George Michael‘s Freedom! music video which featured supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. He’s hoping lightning strikes twice and a sexy video with Hailey and her model friends will hit number one, just like it did for George over 30 years ago.

HELENA CHRISTENSEN GAVE BIRTH TO ANOTHER MODEL

Another supermodel offspring is working his way into show business. Danish model Helena Christensen and her son Mingus Reedus, 22, were seen in NYC doing a photoshoot together. Mingus is already following in his mother’s footsteps- he has modeled for Calvin Klein in both New York and London, he’s appeared in Tommy Hilfiger ad campaigns, and graced the cover of Vogue Hommes. Mingus is the result of a five year relationship his mom had with The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus. (Norman is now with Diane Kruger and they have a daughter.) Mingus also hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps- he’s taking film and scriptwriting classes at NYU.

LUKA SABBAT: THE TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE

“Influential fashion model” and occasional actor on the sitcom Grown-ish, Luka Sabbat, 24, is seen here arriving at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica for dinner. (You probably remember him best because of his fling with Kourtney Kardashian a few years back.) He’s with Jasmine Daniels, a gorgeous model he’s been seen with off and on since last year. It’s complicated. In 2019, Jasmine was dating Luka’s good friend A$AP Rocky, who is now about to become a father with Rihanna. Jasmine has modeled with both Rocky and Sabbat for Calvin Klein. Although Luka has been seen in the company of other women, Jasmine MUST be special because she’s wearing a big diamond LUKA necklace tonight.

THYLANE BLONDEAU WAS BORN LUCKY AND JUST GOT LUCKIER

We’ve all seen beautiful children who grew up to be average adults, and plain children who grew up to be supermodels. French model Thylane Blondeau, 20, is the exception. She started modeling early, and at the age of 6 (!) was dubbed The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. Where do you go after THAT? Fortunately, Thylane never hit an “awkward stage” and at 17 she got the Most Beautiful title again. Although she’s only 5’6”, she’s a very successful model, has a No Smile clothing brand, and has 4 million Instagram followers.

PETE DAVIDSON AND MALUMA HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON – AND IT’S NOT SOCKS

You never know who you’re going to be sitting next to in the front row at a NY Knicks game. Notoriously single SNL comic Pete Davidson was seated next to Colombian heartthrob/singer Maluma (Madonna is a big fan) – we’re not sure if they knew each other before the game, but they attracted lots of paparazzi. Both guys are currently single and have a preference for models. Pete has been keeping company with Kaia Gerber. Maluma looks like he doesn’t like the smell of whatever Pete is eating. Maluma’s handsome looks are somewhat spoiled by the no-socks look he favors…

IRINA SHAYK IS ENJOYING BEING SINGLE

It didn’t take long for Irina Shayk, 33, to adjust to the single life. She’s turning heads in New York just walking down the street in her single-girl style and combat boots. She and her boyfriend of four years, Bradley Cooper, 44, split at the beginning of this month and he is still back in LA. The Sports Illustrated model is probably tired of being a Brentwood housewife, and no doubt eager to resume her modeling career and have some fun. She and Bradley will share custody of their two year old daughter Lea.

PETE DAVIDSON IS LIVING A DREAM

As if appearing on SNL and getting the brush-off from Ariana Grande wasn’t enough, now Pete Davidson is officially a model. Obviously Alexander Wang has a playful sense of fun – he booked Pete along with the usuals –Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, etc – for his NY runway show at Rockefeller Center. Pete, 25, sheepishly slouched along the runway in leather and denim pants to the delight of the surprised fashion crowd.

IRELAND BALDWIN IS DRUMMING UP BUSINESS FOR THE ALDI DISCOUNT STORES

This photo of Ireland Baldwin modeling in Germany has been circulating and it introduced us to a huge chain of stores we never heard of. Ireland is presenting the new beachwear collection for the German based grocery outlet/bargain market Aldi (it’s similar to Costco.) Aldi has 10,000 stores in 20 countries – 1600 in the US – mostly back east. And we NEVER heard of it! Ireland is formidable on the catwalk – she’s 6’2” in sneakers so we imagine a lot of discount clothing doesn’t fit her. But she’s doing a great job of publicizing Aldi.

BOB DYLAN’S GRANDSON LEVI DYLAN: BORN LUCKY?

Yes, another Hollywood kid who’s good looking enough to fall helplessly into a lucrative modeling career. Levi Dylan, 22, actually comes from several generations of music royalty – his grandfather is Bob Dylan and his father is Wallflowers lead singer/songwriter Jakob Dylan. Levi started out playing music, but soon learned he could make more money as a model…

DENNIS QUAID IS KEEPING UP WITH GIRLFRIEND HALF HIS AGE

Dennis Quaid, 64, and his French-Canadian model girlfriend Santa Auzina, 32, are still going strong after two years. Dennis and Santa met in 2016 when he was filming in Canada, and they were both married to other people. Coincidentally or not, both their marriages ended shortly after, and Santa was accused of “abandoning” her husband and kids. Two weeks after Dennis’s divorce was final, they went public with their romance. Both Dennis and Santa have a set of twins with their exes, and they’re planning to spend Christmas vacationing with all their kids.
