GIGI AND BELLA HADID TAKE AFTER THEIR MOTHER

How can you NOT enjoy looking at the Hadid sisters – Gigi and Bella are all dressed up for a NY event called the Prince’s Trust Gala. Their glamorous presence at any event is an asset. The charity was founded by Prince Charles in 1976 specifically to create opportunities for at-risk 11 to 30 years olds who are struggling in school or unemployed – around the world. A worthy cause. Besides looking adorable, models Gigi and Bella have nice reputations – no divas there. That’s more than you can say about their father Mohamed Hadid and his real estate hijinks…

GOOD LOOKS RUN IN THE HADID FAMILY, NO THANKS TO MOHAMED

If you think the Kardashians are a good looking family, take a close look at the Hadids. Bella Hadid posted this photo of herself, her mother Yolanda, and her sister Gigi from the late 90’s to celebrate Yolanda’s birthday. Born in Holland, Yolanda was a successful model before she married questionable real estate developer Mohamed Hadid back in 1994. They split after six years, but had three children (Bella, Gigi, and Anwar) who were good looking enough to all become models. Fortunately, they take after their mother…

MOHAMED HADID’S ACTIONS ARE AS BAD AS HIS CHOICE OF WORDS

Gigi and Bella Hadid’s notorious real estate tycoon father Mohamed Hadid has really put his foot in his mouth this time. For six years, Hadid has been battling the city of Los Angeles over his illegally constructed fifty million dollar Bel Air mansion. A few weeks ago he lost his last ditch appeal, and finally he must demolish the dangerously perched oversized hillside home. Hadid popped up with a claim that the city’s decision is the result of RACISM – based on his celebrity, race and religion. He also blames a complaining neighbor for making him look like a criminal. The neighbor’s lawyer says everyone involved- Hadid’s own contractors, his own structural experts, and city officials, have admitted that the mansion was built on lies and bribes – it has NOTHING to do with racism. Hadid should be aware that this is not a good time to throw around “racism” claims frivolously…

MOHAMED HADID MAKES IT EASY TO HATE RICH PEOPLE

He seems like a nice enough guy in person, but Bella and Gigi Hadid’s father Mohamed Hadid’s behavior gives wealthy people a BAD name. Real estate developer Hadid built a massive 60,000 sq ft mega-mansion in Bel Air and ignored Los Angeles construction laws to stop building because the precariously balanced house threatened neighbors below. He planned to sell the place for a hundred million dollars, but has been ordered to demolish it. Not only has the supposed multimillionaire tried to declare bankruptcy and failed, but he owes over a million in back taxes and the house is still there – in worse condition than ever. He claims he doesn’t have the 5 million needed to tear it down! The judge declared his conduct as “despicable” and hinted that the endangered neighbors suing him will win their cases (if they’re not crushed in a landslide.)

MOHAMED HADID’S NEIGHBORS ARE RUNNING FOR COVER

Models Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella have to be a little embarrassed by their father Mohamed Hadid, whose company declared bankruptcy this week to avoid the huge expense of tearing down this unfinished illegal mega-mansion Hadid constructed (and hoped to sell for 100 million) in Bel Air. Neighbors filed a lawsuit claiming it was unstable and illegally built (which it is) – they fear the house will slide down the hill on them. It adds up to corruption all around – Hadid should not have gotten permits. Rain is falling and neighbors are more worried than ever…

GUESS JEANS: LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!

Kate Upton couldn’t be happier as she walks into the Sports Illustrated party in New York. After she accused Moroccan-born Guess co-founder Paul Marciano of sexually aggressive behavior, he not only called her a LIAR, but said she should be grateful because HE made her famous. (Actually her Sports Illustrated modeling made her famous.) Her charges were validated when another model, Miranda Vee, 23, also accused him of sexual assault (in cahoots with Mohamed Hadid) and filed charges today with LA police.

MOHAMED HADID KNOWS HOW TO SPEND HIS MONEY

We weren’t particularly fond of Mohamed Hadid until we saw him driving this amazing car. He’s been having enormous problems with the city – he built a 30,000 sq ft Bel-Air megamansion without getting city approval and now he’s facing the music. It’s a setback, but he can afford it. We confess his likeability factor went up a notch when we saw this car. He beautifully restored this vintage Packard Caribbean convertible and it looks like a million bucks. It’s a magnificent tri-color example of a mid-century flashy American car. (Swoon) All is forgiven.

MOHAMED HADID’S BEAUTY SECRET

It appears that Mohamed Hadid has learned a thing or two from his successful model daughters Gigi and Bella. The girls have more than a passing acquaintance with hair extensions, and their dad figured “Why not me too?” His hair started thinning a few years ago and instead of having surgery or getting a toupee, he got extensions of his own. They work out well for him. We ARE somewhat taken aback by the outfit Bella wore (above) while having lunch with her dad in Beverly Hills. It’s funny, you rarely see the Hadid sisters carrying a purse – only a phone…

BELLA HADID: FATHER DOESN’T ALWAYS KNOW BEST

Real estate developer Mohamed Hadid might not be the nice guy you thought he was. Being the father of two of the most spectacular models – Bella Hadid (above) and Gigi Hadid – has brought him considerable notoriety. But now he’s had criminal charges filed against him for repeatedly ignoring LA’s zoning and planning rules while building a gargantuan mega-mansion in Bel-Air that has the neighbors furious. The house is too big and too tall and hangs over the edge of a hill, threatening the houses below. Wealthy developers have been flaunting the rules and using teams of lawyers to stall court proceedings for the past decade or so. We suspect there’s plenty of payola going on too. Right now the fate of the 100 million dollar-plus mansion is up in the air, as is Hadid’s freedom.

THIS IS HOW THE BEVERLY HILLS HOUSEWIVES STAY IN SHAPE

IMG_20150129_2gymcut

You’ve seen gorgeous Shiva Safai (left) on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – she’s engaged to the billionaire real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, who used to be married to Yolanda Foster. Model Gigi Hadid is his daughter. (It’s a tangled web those housewives weave.) Shiva’s hot brother (right) Shahin is a personal trainer who keeps his sister in amazing shape along with several other Housewives. (In fact, he likes to take full credit for her good looks.) Shahin opened his own gym called Royal Personal Training in Beverly Hills this weekend (great party!) and it’s already crawling with celebrities…
