As Perezcious readers know, the Maestro star has been getting close to Gigi Hadid. From dinner dates to weekend getaways, the two seem to be enjoying their time together. And it sounds like it was all made possible by one unlikely person: Bradley’s ex, Irina Shayk!

In a Wednesday report by The Messenger, a source shared it was BCoop’s baby momma who introduced him and the 28-year-old:

“Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina and their mutual friends in the industry. Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings. Gigi and Bradley were in touch recently, and were bonding over their daughters, when Bradley asked her out.”

Oof, that’s gotta sting for Irina a little… if she still sees herself ultimately settling down with the guy, despite her romance with Tom Brady. But because of her, he’s now found someone who’s “exactly his type.” Ouch.

The insider shared more details about his relationship with the younger Next in Fashion host:

“He pursued her and she was definitely interested and excited. They have been casually seeing each other but it is extremely new.”

However, despite Bradley’s excitement to commit to something serious, “Gigi has expressed she does not want a serious relationship.” Awkward! As previous sources have shared, though, it’s definitely “possible” for that to change.

The insider also revealed:

“They have a lot in common, and both relate to being parents in the industry. She wants to get into acting and is intrigued by Bradley’s perspective and guidance. It is very casual at this point.”

We know one of the biggest things they have in common are their children. Gigi shares 3-year-old daughter Khai with ex Zayn Malik, while The Hangover star is father to 6-year-old Lea De Seine with Irina.

Late on Sunday night, the duo was in New York City for the Luis Miguel concert. And the show was held at the iconic Madison Square Garden, so both Kenny and her Puerto Rican love showed out in fine fashion at the most famous venue on earth!

Pics and videos from the aftermath of the event late on Sunday night showed the 27-year-old KUWTK alum rocking a black tank top, black trousers, and a bright red sweater tastefully wrapped around her neck and shoulders. Wanting to match his love interest, Bad Bunny (whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) also showed out in black! He had a dark leather jacket, leather pants, and a black-and-white baseball cap to (literally) top things off. Post-show, they rushed back to their hotel together — but not before they were spotted by cameras!

What a fun date night!!

And that wasn’t all… after Sunday night’s NYC concert outing and quick scurry back to the hotel, Kenny and Bad Bunny actually showed up in Miami, too! The pair had already been on South Beach earlier in the week to celebrate the Puerto Rican star taking home seven Billboard Latin Music Awards wins. But fresh, brand-new paparazzi pics proved they returned there on Monday for some fun in the sun, as well!

Kim Kardashian has partnered with the luxury fashion brand again months after supposedly cutting ties amid their controversial ad campaign featuring kids and BDSM teddy bears!

During Paris Fashion Week, the reality star modeled for the fashion house’s new summer 2024 collection. In the brand’s new lookbook, Kim was seen posing in front of a bright red curtain while wearing a black form-fitting latex dress with an asymmetrical hemline — and the glossy finish made the whole thing look like it was drenched in water. To match the vibes, her hair was wet and she went with a natural look for her makeup.

Hawt!

But of course, this is a big 180 from her position almost a year ago. The company became a lightning rod for controversy with that BDSM teddy bear thing that weirded out parents — and then the coincidence of props on their shoot being related to child porn laws. It was a weird time. Kim made a big show of re-evaluating her relationship with Balenciaga, noting she was “shaken by those disturbing images.” The Kardashians star said she would only consider working with the company again if they showed a real “willingness to accept accountability.” They did apologize — we suppose she was satisfied with their response to the drama after all?

While Kim reportedly attended an early, private viewing of the brand’s new collection and supported them via the photoshoot for the lookbook, she did not show up to the brand’s show during Fashion Week, per Page Six. That said, the outlet noted Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble did watch the runway last Sunday. Thoughts?! Sound OFF (below)!

As we previously reported, the 31-year-old’s family called the police to perform a welfare check at her apartment in Los Angeles last month after communication from her suddenly stopped. When law enforcement arrived at the residence, they found her dead inside. So, so sad. Mysteriously, fellow model Nichole Coats was also found dead in her apartment in downtown El Lay — two days before Maleesa’s body was discovered!

However, police do not believe these two cases are related!

But nearly a month later, the cause of death for Maleesa finally has been revealed – and it’s disturbing. According to E! News, the LA County Department of Medical Examiner determined the victim died from “homicidal violence”. Innerestingly we now know why the cases of the two models, despite the proximity of time and place, are being treated as unrelated. Nichole’s death is NOT being investigated as a homicide.

Of note, Maleesa’s cause of death had initially been listed simply as “deferred”, but now the results are more conclusive. It sounds like she was murdered. Her case file also noted under her cause of death that there were “other significant conditions.” We may have a good idea what one condition was…

Maleesa’s sister, Jourdin Pauline, told KTLA on Wednesday that Maleesa had been two months pregnant when she died! What a heartbreaking update! Jourdin said her sis had wanted to be a mom so bad:

“I can’t imagine what my sister went through, and it pains me to even think about it.”

Our heart breaks for Maleesa’s family and the other victim’s loved ones. This must be hard for them, especially since there are still so many questions about her death.

Jourdin also told KTLA she believes she knows the reason Maleesa’s cause of death was initially deferred. She says her sister was beaten so brutally that the exact cause couldn’t be identified. We suppose the exact cause still hasn’t — but they wanted to make clear it was violence committed by another person. Horrible.

No arrests have been made in the case at this time. While the investigation continues, cops have asked anyone with information on the murder to reach out to LAPD detectives Pierce or Marcinek at 213-996-4150 or to submit an anonymous tip online to LA crime stoppers or call 1-800-222-8477.

The former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch is under fire after some serious allegations have been made against him!

Mike Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith have been accused of sexual exploitation after eight men claimed the two facilitated their recruitment for sex events they hosted between 1992 and 2014 — the year he resigned. Buckle up, Perezcious readers, because the details of their operation are pretty horrific.

According to a new bombshell report from BBC, Jeffries and Smith ran a “well-oiled machine” in which they used “recruiters” to bring young men, many of whom were aspiring models, to sex events in London, Paris, Venice, and Marrakesh. The “middleman” or “casting agent” involved in the scheme was Jim Jacobson, who allegedly found all of the young men — and was paid as much as $1,000 for every referral.

Half of the guys said they were recruited by Jacobson — but were misled about the nature of the parties or were not informed that sex was involved. Others said they knew what was going on at these parties but were unaware of what was expected of them. All of them were paid to attend and hoped by doing so that they would get a modeling gig with Abercrombie & Fitch.

But even before the event, the victims allege Jacobson often sexually “auditioned” them by either asking or offering to perform oral sex — only afterward, he would introduce them to Jeffries and Smith. Some of the young men were then sent to a personal “groomer” and had their body hair shaved off before going to the party – an experience some of them said was “dehumanizing.” All of them were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements, stating that they would be sued if they ever spoke out about what happened. They also were not allowed to keep copies of that document.

Despite signing NDAs, many are bravely coming forward with their stories now. David Bradberry recalled being introduced to Jacobson in 2010 by an agent who said he was “the gatekeeper to the owners” of the fashion brand. David, who was just 23 years old at the time, told the BBC that during the meeting Jacobson suggested he get his picture taken by Abercrombie & Fitch’s official photographer Bruce Weber.

Per BBC, Weber often photographed the aspiring models Jacobson would later introduce to Jeffries — but first he would allegedly have a “test run” with them. David said he had been made to think “this is where everybody gets their start,” adding:

“Jim made it clear to me that unless I let him perform oral sex on me, that I would not be meeting with A&F or Mike Jeffries. I was paralyzed. It was like he was selling fame. And the price was compliance.”

David went through with it — and ended up being paid $500 afterward. Looking back, he recognizes the meeting was “a red flag,” but he believed Jim “was just a creepy old dude that I wouldn’t have to see again.” That was not the case. David ran into him after accepting an invite to a daytime event at Mike’s home in the Hamptons. Before the event, Jacobson allegedly gave him an A&F gift card to buy an outfit — which made the whole thing feel “legitimate” and “official” to him.

While at the mansion, David told both Mike and Matthew about his dream to become an Abercrombie & Fitch model. That’s when, he says, things took a turn and Jeffries took “poppers” before having sex with him. During the incident, David told the BBC he “didn’t feel safe to say ‘no’ or ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this’” due to the home’s “secluded” location and the presence of Jeffries’ staff members, who handed the victims envelopes with thousands of dollars of cash when they left.

This doesn’t sound like legitimate fashion industry practice — it sounds like sex trafficking.

David wasn’t the only one who spoke out. Barrett Pall shared with the BBC he was recruited for these events in 2011 at the age of 22 and was told by a recruiter, who was an older A&F model, that he would be a “replacement” for “some sort of sexual experience with the couple.” Although Barrett didn’t want any part of this, he felt he had to since the recruiter had been helping him out financially.

When Barrett accepted, the recruiter informed him that “the further you go, the better” — alluding to the fact that he would receive some career opportunities for having sex. He recalled one of the other guys recruited for the event performed oral sex on him while Mike and Matthew watched. When the pair began to hook up with two other men, Barrett claimed Jeffries groped him from behind:

“This experience, I think it broke me. I think that this stole any ounce of innocence that I had left. It mentally messed me up. But with the language I now have today, I can sit here and tell you that I was taken advantage of.”

So, so awful. At this time, neither Jeffries nor Smith have spoken out about the allegations. However, a spokesperson for Abercrombie & Fitch stated to The Post:

“We are appalled and disgusted by the behavior described in the allegations against Mr. Jeffries, whose employment with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ended in 2014, nearly ten years ago. Speaking up and coming forward is not easy, and our thoughts are with those who bravely raised their voices.”

They continued revealing that the brand has “engaged an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation into the issues raised,” adding:

“The company’s current executive leadership team and board of directors were not aware of the allegations of sexual misconduct by Mr. Jeffries. We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.”

Meanwhile, two former prosecutors in the US have called for an investigation to be launched in order to determine whether sex trafficking charges should be made against them.

This time around, it was a stunning crystal Gucci bralette which was juuquuuuust barely hiding away her sexy curves. Kim stared into the camera with a sultry look in her eyes and rocked a tasteful, smart unbuttoned Gucci jacket around her shoulders to complete the look just perfectly.

It’s hard to believe the 42-year-old is, well, 42 when you see these snaps! Her body is banging, her abs are on point, and the dazzling, sparkly bra shows off some of her best physical features while leaving us wanting SO much more! Appropriately, she even captioned the pic like this (below):

Some fans were decidedly less impressed, tho. Referencing the massive fight Kim and big sis Kourtney Kardashian had on the season premiere episode of The Kardashians last week on Hulu, they wrote in the comments (below):

“So kourtney was right…she has to make everything about her…”

“She can’t let her siblings have any spotlight”

“Team kourtney over here.”

“Cmon Kim let Kendal have her moment”

“proving kourt right”

“kourtney you where right!!!!!”

Well damn! Some people are always gonna hate, we suppose.

The post Kim Kardashian Stuns In Barely-There Gucci Bra For New Photoshoot! OMG! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Former Nickelodeon star Madisyn Shipman, who is best known for her role as Kenzie Bell in Game Shakers, is now a model for Playboy and makes a living off their OnlyFans-style platform. She credits this career move to feeling “repressed in terms of sexuality and showing her body” after all those years of being forced to look like a “little girl” on the kid’s network!

Taking to Fox News, the 20-year-old said her NSFW job has helped her “reclaim her power” and introduced her to “like-minded people,” explaining on Friday:

“I’m going to be completely honest with you, I have always felt a sense of repression in terms of my sexuality and showing my body. And I think a lot of that is because I grew up on a Nickelodeon show. You’re taught that you can’t wear crop tops… you can’t show too much skin. You’ve got to be presented as a little girl constantly. And whenever that ends… I had a little bit of an identity crisis because I didn’t know who I was.”

She’s certainly not the only child actress to struggle with this!

Interestingly, after a fellow Nick alum turned Playboy star (whom she didn’t name) encouraged her to join the platform, she’s found success sharing content in her bikini or lingerie. However, she won’t pose nude. She noted:

“That’s the great thing about Playboy. If you want to show everything, you’re more than welcome to, but you don’t have to. I’m reclaiming my power. I’m reclaiming my sexuality. I’m doing what makes me happy. I have no issues posing in a bikini or a lingerie set. It’s just me. I think it’s so empowering to be able to pose like that and feel great in my skin. I love my body, so being able to do this in such a respected area and get so much love and support from it is so rewarding.”

That said, she does get the occasional “fetish” request that she isn’t comfortable completing. But for the most part, she thinks her clients are mostly fans who are “seeking a connection” with her. Thanks to all this, she’s made enough money to buy a house and self-fund her music career. That’s pretty good!!

As for how her Game Shakers cast members feel? She dished:

“I was always pushing the boundaries back then. I would always get in trouble for posing in a crop top or wearing a bikini that was showing a little too much… So I think [my former costars] expected it. They fully support me. They know what I’m doing makes me happy. And if other people don’t agree with it, then so be it. I don’t need the negativity or the drama in my life. I’m so focused on just having a positive outlook.”

To each their own! Plenty of other child stars have gone down this route, including Wizards of Waverly Place‘s Dan Benson, and it seems like they’ve seen a ton of success, too.

However, people couldn’t focus on the stunning outfit from Schiaparelli at all. Nope! Instead, social media users could not get over what they deemed was a horrible walk from Kendall! With Charli XCX’s song Good Ones in the background, The Kardashians star slowly strutted on the runway with both hands on her hips. Swipe to check it out (below):

Viewers were not impressed by the walk whatsoever — and weren’t afraid to voice that opinion on social media! X (Twitter) users savagely blasted Kendall’s inability to “serve” while decked out in couture! See some of the harshest comments (below):

“She is an example of how a door would move if it had legs.”

“How does she manage to make Schiaparelli look boring. They literally gave her the least interesting piece because they knew she wouldn’t serve. Kendall cannot be trusted with the vision and it shows”

“It just doesn’t GIVE for some reason.”

“She’s a beautiful girl but it’s not serving.”

“omg kendall giving us nothing”

“will she ever serve”

“Sorry but how does her own sister eat her up… and shes just a guest sitting on the side.”

Brutal!

On Instagram Tuesday, famed tattoo artist Matteo Nangeroni posted snaps of some recent art he did on the supermodel’s arm. The 31-year-old casually went topless for the pics to make sure the work could be seen. But fans only had eyes for… a spelling error?

Cara’s new tats feature an abstract piece of a woman’s face on her tricep, and below it a definition of the word “dormiveglia” — which, in case you didn’t know, is an Italian word that means a “semi-conscious state” — half-asleep and half-awake. Ch-ch-check her new ink (below):

Wow!

A seriously cool word and an amazing piece of art. The only problem? One little typo in the typography. The intended definition of the word is “the space that stretches between sleeping and waking,” but the Paper Towns actress’ tattoo reads “the space that stretches between sleeping and walking“. Oops! Fans ran to the comments to point out the spelling error, with some writing:

“Also is that supposed to say “between sleeping and waking”? Because it says “walking”?”

“Nooo….you spelled it wrong it’s supposed to be “waking” not WALKING ”

“The explanation seems wrong, isn’t it “between sleeping and waking”?”

“I find it more offensive that waking is spelled incorrectly “

Oof!

Can’t use white-out to fix that one. Ouch! Those things are permanent, people! Always triple check your spelling! You don’t want to end up with tattoo ragrets!

At least it’s still gorgeous… What do U think, Perezcious readers? Let us know (below).

“Natalia, I’m so proud of you! You did it mama!!!! I love you so much and I’m so happy for you @nataliabryant ! Bellísima! Versace! “

After the show, the late NBA star’s daughter told Vogue that she was invited by Donatella Versace herself:

“She was just so welcoming and sweet and made me feel so comfortable, especially with it being my first runway. Meeting her definitely helped settle any nerves.”

She added that she took inspiration from Naomi Campbell, as well as other supermodels, when perfecting her walk:

“I’ve always loved watching videos of Naomi walking down the runway along with videos of other iconic supermodels I look up to. My mom says, ‘Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself, put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.'”

Aww!

She did such an incredible job! Reactions, Perezcious readers?
