In her Porter Magazine interview, Bella speaks about her faith, her sexuality and her love life. Earlier this year both Bella and her sister Gigi protested in New York at the #NoBanNoWall protests in New York, and she told Porter: "My dad was a refugee when he first came to America, so it’s actually very close to home for my sister and brother and me. He was always religious, and he always prayed with us. I am proud to be a Muslim.”
With a Dutch mother, Bella's comfort level with her body and nudity follow the country's norms. “My mom is very European, so our whole life we were very open about that stuff. It was just more casual.”
One can't help wondering if the seemingly sensible Bella would have fallen down the same rabbit hole as her buddy Kendall Jenner did in making the now pulled Pepsi commercial. The big Supermodels -- rather than the newly-crowned social media ones -- were known for sharing an opinion about almost everything. One wonders if they would have gone sheepishly into the night of the Pepsi mess. I think not. Even if it was a quiet "Are you sure you really want to do this?" I think Naomi and Christy and Linda would have spoken their minds. None of these girls can just say "I don't like the script. I'm outta here." After all, a contract was signed, and I doubt it gives the girls that kind of leverage. But the Supers would have raised their eyebrows big-time over the insipid, totally tone-deaf commercial that Jenner produced for Pepsi. Why does she only feel anguish now? Was she as tone-deaf as the folks at Pepsi?

After Greece's refusal to allow Gucci to use the Parthenon for a June 2017 runway how -- in exchange for a large donation for restoration of the site, the Italian luxury brand has turned to the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy to stage the event at its Galleria Palantina on May 29.
The $2.13 million allocated for the event space will be used now to restore the Boboli Gardens at the Uffizi Gallery. In announcing the agreement, Gucci CEO Marco Bizzarri said sarcastically: "I guess that Greece's fiscal situation is in better shape than Italy's." Both economies are under siege, but Italy has very successfully turned to Italy's finest luxury brands to restore its most historic sites, with the full understanding that tourism is imperative to Italy's financial future.
Currently, less than 20 of the 33 acres comprising the gardens are accessible to the public. The Gucci funds will open the entire green space.
Of the agreement, Italy’s culture minister, Dario Franceschini, commented:
“Fashion is also part of our cultural heritage and our history. In our country, taste, elegance, and education in what is beautiful are part of our day-to-day lives.”
“The connection between fashion and art has always been a close one, and it has been often conducive to striking and unique occasions, like this one, where a prestigious Italian fashion brand has decided to invest in an important cultural landmark, while appreciating its mission,” he added.

Advertisers Fleeing Bill O'Reilly Top 50, In Spite Of Trump Rallying Boys Club Behind FOX Anchor
America's President Donald Trump made it clear to the New York Times Wednesday that he stands with his friend Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, under fire over an expose about previously unknown Fox settlements over sexual harassment and sexual assault claims.
“I think he’s a person I know well — he is a good person,” said Mr. Trump, who during the interview was surrounded at his desk by a half-dozen of his highest-ranking aides, including the economic adviser Gary Cohn and the chief of staff, Reince Priebus, along with Vice President Mike Pence.
“I think he shouldn’t have settled; personally I think he shouldn’t have settled,” said Mr. Trump. “Because you should have taken it all the way. I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.”
Erin Gloria Ryan responds gloriously for The Daily Beast: "In a life characterized by ideological, financial, and even marital inconsistency, there’s one thing President Donald Trump has remained fairly consistent on: defending men accused of sexual assault or harassment."

R. ANNIE SPARROW AND DR. ROLA HALLAM AT THE 2017 WOMEN IN THE WORLD SUMMIT IN NEW YORK CITY.
Dr. Annie Sparrow & Dr. Rola Hallam Speak For Syria At 2017 Women In The World Summit
Two women doctors -- Dr. Annie Sparrow and Dr. Rola Hallam -- shared their Syria experiences in a moving discussion from last night's April 5, 2017 Women in the World Summit in New York. Dr. Hallam tells a gut-wrenching story about a severely burned child whose flesh was so singed that she knew he would not live, although he said he was doing okay. She gave him a drug -- "so he would slip away."
My heart stopped when she said that -- for fear that the Trump administration would stop all her funding, as they are to all the women's health clinics around the world, even if they have nothing to do with abortion. The pro-life contingent believes that Dr. Hallam is a murderer . . . that she should have let the child suffer until he died naturally -- the flesh singed off his precious body. It's a very sad world on multiple fronts that we are living in, that this thought would pop into my mind. ~ Anne

Watching the new Pepsi ad featuring Kendall Jenner in an act of pseudo street activism involving protest and then making nice to a row of cops by offering them a can of Pepsi left me stupefied. And I believe that America is way too pc and am never silent in telling people to get a grip. But I simply cannot believe that such a high-level brand as Pepsi was ignorant as to how our young people and all people of conscience would respond, watching the commercial. If you want to understand why #BlackLivesMatter gets their backs up, this marketing travesty just confirms every stereotype about empathy-lacking whites that I can think of.
All over America black men of every age are dying in the streets because they 'looked ominous'; all over America millions of women are watching our rights being stripped away by the Trump administration, all over the world the Trump administration has further restricted funding for contraception and maternal health, all over America undocumented workers are afraid of the dreaded knock at the door that will lead to deportation . . . Pepsi takes this reality that is front and center in the nation's consciousness and they reduce it to Kendall Jenner (who didn't join the Women's March, unlike Gigi Hadid) giving a can of Pepsi to good cops. If only the issues of the mass incarceration of young black men and Ferguson were this simple.
Thankfully, the brand came to its senses and issued this statement: "Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding. Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologize. We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are removing the content and halting any further rollout. We also apologize for putting Kendall Jenner in this position." ~ Anne
