It’s been over a decade, but Derek Zoolander and Hansel McDonald are so hot right now!
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week’s Valentino show as their characters from the 2001 movie “Zoolander,” the fan-favorite comedy about, well, really really ridiculously good-looking male models. The two had a dramatic walk off on the Paris runway and proved that they’ve still got it going on. Did you catch a glint of that Blue Steel?

They used to glorious runway stunt to promote the upcoming release of a “Zoolander” sequel! “Zoolander 2” will be in theaters near you on February 12, 2016. We CAN’T WAIT. Will Ferrel’s nefarious Mugatu will also be making a comeback, and we’re hoping for a cameo by our favorite Jewish acting dad, Jerry Stiller!
The two even snuck a selfie backstage with — dare we say it — another fashion villain. Anna Wintour makes Jacobim Mugatu look like, well, Jacob Moogberg.

And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over.
