Would you trade places with supermodel Marie?
POSING in an exquisitely skimpy hot pink thong and bra, ageless former supermodel Marie Helvin, pictured right, asks defiantly: ‘Who says a woman can’t model lingerie in her 70s?’ To which most women over 40 after a couple of kids would reply: ‘Me!’
Marie attributes her ageless figure to choosing not to have children and staying single. But I’m betting mere mortal mums her age, surrounded by kids, grandkids and a messy husband, wouldn’t trade places with her for a nanosecond.
Well, okay then, maybe they would... just for a few minutes.
PERHAPS the reason the apocalyptic movie Oppenheimer is scooping all the awards over the relentlessly cheerful Barbie is that it taps into not a pink world but a dark one we are beginning to fear – with the possibility of a Third World War when everyone actually has nukes.
WHAT’S not to love about Kate Moss’s €115,000 50th birthday party? She took over Paris’s Laurent Restaurant and partied with daughter Lila, girlfriends from decades ago, boyfriend Nikolai von Bismarck, 37, and her mates from the fashion world. Huge admiration that she has a hot younger lover, pictured above, looks as fabulous as ever and, even after becoming a wellness guru, is only teetotal when she wants to be and chain-smokes throughout her party. My kind of girl.
HEARTENING to learn that the real reason comedian Sandi Toksvig quit The Great British Bake Off was because it ‘atrophied my brain watching meringues dry’. The show has always divided opinion. Millions love it, but I’d rather swim to Alaska naked than make a baked one.
GOOD news for men with trouser troubles as it is proved popping a Viagra tablet in a vase of flowers stops them from drooping for two weeks. Saves blokes from embarrassment at the chemist’s counter. They can now say: ‘Not for me, I need them to stiffen up the wife’s gladioli.’
EX-footballers crying foul over the rise of female pundits will be spluttering into their beer after learning first-class presenter Laura Woods is a millionaire. Woods pocketed €290,000 at TalkSport but her earnings shot up by €700,000 even before her transfer last year to TNT Sports. It’s enough to make an old misogynist weep.
