Bar’s Birthday Bikini; Lohan as Liz
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
A couple of fabulous photos making the rounds on gossip sites caught the Shmooze’s eye this morning.
The first is a birthday gift — from Bar Refaeli to the world. On June 4, her 27th birthday, the model and No. 1 “Maxim” hottie tweeted a playful picture of herself on the beach. In a bikini. With a rainbow. Talk about giving the people what they want!
The second is an on-set photo of Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor that was leaked to TMZ.com. Against all odds, Lohan actually does a pretty good job of channeling Liz at the height of Hollywood glamour. With her legal troubles behind her (we hope), the self-destructive onetime child star will portray Taylor — actress, fashion icon and Jewish convert — in a Lifetime made-for-TV biopic called “Liz and Dick.”
Lifetime has also released a stunning promotional shot.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
