Bar Rafaeli – Replaces Gisele Bundchen in Campaign

Ever since Bar Refaeli stepped into the Hollywood scene as Leonardo Dicaprio’s love interest, I became a fan.  This Jewish model is gorgeous and best of all, isn’t a walking skeleton. She’s got curves and isn’t afraid to use them as seen in her Sport’s Illustrated ads.  This 24-year-old beauty hails from Israel and is signed with Storm Models in London and One Management in New York.   She’s been modeling since she was 8-years-old, so she’s no stranger to the fashion industry.  She’s still modeling, but has added something new to her resumé: acting. 

Now for the juicy, but sad news. It appears her relationship with Mr. Dicaprio has ended. They were together about 4 years.  Apparently, Ms. Refaeli was ready to settle down and commit, but Leo wasn’t having any of that. He loves his single life and wasn’t ready to be tied down.  I don’t get that guy, honestly.  Yes, he’s a fine actor and fairly good looking, but seriously, when is he going to settle down – maybe start a family or something.  He’s one lucky guy though. He can thank his fame, money and talent for being able to snag such gorgeous models because I doubt these women would look twice if he was a cashier at McDonalds.  He’s real into global warming, which is a joke in my opinion, but that’s a whole other ball game. 

Now that one chapter has closed in Bar’s life, one new one has opened. A boy is it a slap in the face for supermodel Gisele Bundchen.  Bar has been hired to replace Gisele in a new ad campaign for fashion house Rampage. I’m guessing the company’s profits were plummeting and needed help pronto. What better way to spark some publicity then hire another model who dated the same guy, Leo Dicaprio.  I wonder what Gisele, 29-years-old, thinks, although she’s doing splendid with football hunk, Tom Brady. Guess they wanted someone younger and of course blonder. 

Seems like the modeling industry loves Bar Rafaeli and of course they should, she’s extraordinarily beautiful and the public is probably getting tired of seeing the Brazilian’s face everywhere. It must suck though to be replaced by the woman who snagged the guy you loved.  Victoria’s Secret even recruited Bar as one of their “Angels” in 2007, prompting Giselle to step down after 5 years with them.   Brazilian sources said that Gisele requested never to be on the runway at the same time as Bar.  

The photo above is part of the Rampage campaign and I must add that the purple bag is shockingly cute.  

Now Bar has replaced her as the face as Rampage, saying:‘The Rampage line is comfortable and the cuts are very feminine. It always fits perfectly to the curves of a woman’s body – I have curves and I feel really good in it!’

Dari Marder, Chief Marketing Officer, Rampage, said they were looking for someone ‘fresh and new’ to replace Gisele, who starred in this year’s Spring/Summer campaign.

 

‘We were looking for a fresh new face to follow our spring campaign with Gisele Bundchen and when we met Bar we instantly fell in love with her,’ he said. ‘Bar is sweet, young, sexy and beautiful just like our Rampage customer.’

Anyway, I doubt Gisele cares because she’s now going to be a mommy with hunk, Tom Brady.  Now Mr. Tom Brady will be a father of two. His first child is the offspring of actress Bridget Moynahan.  She’s also a stunner. I kinda felt bad for her after he left her because she was expecting his baby.   Below are some pictures of Bridget Moynahan during happier times. 

Gisele has finally come clean – after denying her pregnancy to the media – and the baby is due February 2010.   Leonardo will sink his fangs with another beautiful model soon – I’m sure.  He’s just got some serious commitment issues he’s gotta fix before he’s left alone. What good is it to have so much money, but not have a lover to spend it with.
