Natalie Portman is Vogue Australia’s [IG] May 2025 cover star eager to discuss her upcoming movie ‘Fountain of Youth’, which Vogue calls a “globe-trotting extravaganza” that looks like it was fun to make. The movie opens May 23 on AppleTV.
“It was so fun. It was really a dream offer when I got it. Wait, I get to work with Guy Ritchie and John Krasinski? And all these other actors, between Domhnall [Gleeson] and Eiza [González] and Arian [Moayed] and Carmen [Ejogo], who I love so much. . . Vienna was extraordinary and Cairo was a dream. It’s so rare these days to go to the real places.”
Portman pushes back on the issue of aging in ‘The Fountain of Youth’, although she affirms that her beautiful, aging-naturally mother inspires her not to be afraid of physical aging.
Cuban-American femme fatale Eva Mendes may look coy, but she’s a very direct and articulate woman madly in love with her man Ryan Gosling, the father of their two daughters.

Today we find Kruger covering the April 25, 2025 issue of Madame Figaro [IG], where the actor has just finished filming the six episodes of ‘Merteuil’, by Jessica Palud, freely adapted from ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ [1988], which was adapted from ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’ [1959], directed by Roger Vadim.
Kruger is styled by Barbara Baumel in images by Thiemo Sander [IG].
Kruger plays Madame de Rosemonde, in the ‘Merteuil’ series, and here we share synchronicity. Just today I wrote about the ancient, global history of courtesans, inspired by a Louboutin Beauty campaign with Daphne Groeneveld.
Her character excels in the art of seduction, Kruger explains. “But she uses her beauty for the sole purpose of being the equal of men, or even their superior. She is a strategist and a manipulator determined not to be locked up in the shackles of the patriarchal society of the time.”

Evangelista’s relationship with her trauma over a CoolSculpting procedure gone rogue continues to dominate her life. One must process this reality knowing that the 90s superstar has experienced a host of health challenges. CoolSculpting aside, Linda has a 2018 double mastectomy behind her.
"I’ve had all those lung surgeries, oh my God, and my keloids and all the chest-tube scars and my C-section scar. There were a lot of surgeries. I’m cool. I’m fine with those. I won. I’m here. I won.”
This is an usually candid interview with the supermodel, who says she still can’t look at herself in the mirror but — even more important — she is grateful to be alive. Evangelista is in therapy to confront that issue of the mirror, and she also wants to be a grandmother. Just not right now.

Model Dorit Revelis covers the May 2025 issue of Vogue Netherlands [IG], dedicated to the global sisterhood.
I trust that Trump and Musk won’t ban this issue of Vogue Netherlands dedicated to sisterhood — but anything is possible in our current mess of a country.
Update on Trump, Musk and Kennedy Cancelling America’s largest and longest-running women’s healthcare research project on Wed. night: The American Women coalition beat back this billionaire boys club cancellation of our women’s health research in less than 24 hrs.
This is not a game for nice little women.
We Ballbreaker ladies are not to be messed with in trench warfare with Billionaires. And ESPECIALLY with Elon Musk, who can’t seem to run his own businesses effectively, let-alone buy the US federal government for a pittance.
Presumably, Musk expects American taxpayers to finance his alleged genius, as we already financed $38 billion of his pet projects.
Top model Lulu Tenney manifests over-the-top exuberance for her Chanel shoot in New York City. Maybe Lulu is feeling universal gratitude for the human experience.
Whatever the source of Tenney’s infectious joy, AOC is here for it. Surely some wise woman somewhere in the world said that smiles are good for our souls.
