ISRAELI BOMBSHELLS

E! Online, not an unimpeachable
source, reports that Israeli super-
model Bar Refaeli, 30, and Israeli
businessman Adi Ezra, 40, will be
married this coming September,
following the High
Holidays. Ezra is
a member of the
family that owns
the huge Israeli
food-importing
company Neto ME
holdings. Refaeli
Ezra and
was
married (2003-
Refaeli
2005) to Israeli
Arik Weinstein and dated actor
David Charvet, 43, and Leonardo
DiCaprio.
Creepy is the word that some
critics are applying to the first big
modeling gig of Sofia Mechetner,
a 14-year-old Israeli girl who the
Christian Dior fashion house recent-
ly signed to a $265,000 contract.
Her first Paris fashion show fea-
tured her walking down the catwalk
wearing only a see-through gown.

While this is pretty outrageous, I
can understand why her agent and
Sofia dismissed objections, describ-
ing high-fashion
modeling, includ-
ing quasi-nudity,
as "art." I don't
know if they really
believe this — but
one thing is clear:
The money must
Mechetner
be an enormous
help to Sofia and
her family. Her divorced parents are
poor immigrants from Russia and
she grew up in a run-down suburb
of Tel Aviv. Her mother, who works
as a seamstress and masseuse,
slept in the living room and Sofia
and her two younger siblings slept
in the one bedroom — her brother
and sister in a bunk bed and she on
a mattress on the floor. When an
Israeli modeling agent discovered
Sofia and paid for a trip to France, a
major fashion house signed her, as
he had hoped. ❑
