“IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE”

Kylie Minogue is just the latest female celebrity to be honoured with a moniker that is usually reserved for men: as a serial romancer of paid-for posers, she’s a “modeliser”. Kylie’s new Spanish squeeze, Andres Velencoso, is the face of high-street chains H&M and Banana Republic, and was recently voted German GQ’s Model of the Year. She also used to step out with the French actor Olivier Martinez, who has modelled for Yves Saint Laurent, and before that fellow-mannequin James Gooding. Both Jennifer Aniston and, currently, Cameron Diaz have fallen for the charms of the Essex-born brickie-turned-model Paul Sculfor, while Halle Berry has a baby with Gabriel Aubry, one-time face of Versace and Calvin Klein (they met on the set of a Versace ad campaign).Kelly Osbourne is rumoured to be engaged to the blue-eyed face of Topman, Luke Worrall, while Keira Knightley dated the Dior model Jamie Dornan for three years.
