Naomi Reveals She’s Been Secretly Dating a Russian Billionaire

Naomi Campbell is secretly dating a billionaire regarded as one of Russia’s most eligible bachelors.

The supermodel introduced Vladislav Doronin, a property tycoon, to 12 of her most trusted friends at a rowdy dinner party last week on a yacht off St Tropez in the South of France.

With an estimated ?1.5billion fortune, 46-year-old Doronin has a penchant for high-living and beautiful women that has earned him the nickname of Moscow’s Donald Trump.

His property projects include Moscow City, a spectacular Canary Wharf-style development that is helping transform the once-poor city into a glamorous destination.
Naomi, 38, met him at the Cannes Film Festival in May, shortly after the outburst on a British Airways flight that led to her arrest, and they have been inseparable ever since.

During the all-night party on the yacht, the pair were seen dancing closely to the music of a gipsy band.

One of Naomi’s guests, Brazilian writer Bruno Astuto, said: ‘They danced and kissed tenderly the whole night.

‘She said it was love at first sight and he is completely in love with her. Watching them look deeply into each other’s eyes, it was obvious that this is a very serious affair.

‘He thinks she is a goddess and Naomi believes she finally has found the right man. She is now planning a really big party for Vlad, where we hope they will announce their engagement.

‘Vlad is like Naomi in that he likes to have fun. But he is also a very gentle, very calm person and that makes Naomi calm. She is in a good phase of her life now because she is living a big love story.’

The group on the yacht included Gordon Brown’s multi-millionaire environmental adviser, Johann Eliasch, and one of Naomi’s ex-suitors, Dubai playboy Badr Jafar.

Her tempestuous love life has also included a romance with motor-racing tycoon Flavio Briatore and one engagement, to U2 bassist Adam Clayton.

According to one Russian acquaintance of Doronin:

‘Vladislav has dated beautiful women before, but to embark on such a high-profile relationship with an icon such as Naomi Campbell shows he has reached a stage in life where, having made money through astute property deals, he is ready to have some fun.’

The secretive oligarch – previously wrongly identified as Brazilian Marcus Elias – attended the recent London dinner for Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday, where Naomi was also a guest.

Astuto revealed: ‘Vlad started to bid for a bronze mould of Mandela’s hand in the auction conducted by Will Smith.

‘He wanted to give it to Naomi, but she quietly told him to stop when the bidding reached ?1.7million. She told him she would prefer him to give the money directly to Mandela’s charity.’

Doronin’s spokeswoman said she could not comment on his private life.

Madonna: ‘Not Planning on Getting a Divorce’

Madonna has released an exclusive statement to people, denying that she is divorcing Guy Ritchie or having an affair with Yankee star Alex Rodriguez.

In it, she says: “My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study.”

Alex Rodriguez’s wife Cynthia blamed the rumored affair for the demise of her marriage to the slugger, sources say.

Amid growing buzz of divorce, the singer’s rep had earlier issued a denial that the singer and her husband of over seven years, Guy Ritchie, were splitting.

The singer, who is no stranger to rumors, also says: “I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously. I also appreciate how fiction and fact seem to be perceived as one and the same by people who read both newspapers and the Internet.”

Jessica Alba Shows Off The Return of Her Fantastic Figure

Jessica Alba once again proudly showed off her fantastic figure – just a month after giving birth to her first child.

The star of Sin City and Fantastic Four looked the picture of health as she glowed in the California sunshine during a shopping trip to Beverley Hills with husband Cash Warren.

Alba, 27, who was voted sexiest woman in the world by FHM magazine last year, gave birth to daughter, Honor Marie Warren, at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles at the beginning of the month.

And stepping out for an Independence day shopping trip in a summery pink dress, the actress was clearly enjoying being back to her original figure.

Jessica and Cash married three weeks ago after the pair met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004.

The couple enjoyed a quiet ceremony at the Beverly Hills courthouse on May 19.

After her daughter’s arrival, Alba vowed to be a tough mother.

She said: ‘I don’t want to be my child’s best friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.’

Keith Urban: Nicole Kidman Is ‘Very, VERY Pregnant’

Keith Urban joined pal Kenny Chesney for a hometown concert in Nashville Saturday, and hinted to the crowd of nearly 50,000 that he expects to be a dad soon – very, very soon.

“I’m going to dedicate a song to my very, very, very, very, VERY pregnant wife!” Urban said with a laugh, before singing his hit, “Better Half.”

His real-life better half, Nicole Kidman, wasn’t far away. Kidman, dressed in a brown crinkled silk dress with her hair worn loose and curly, slipped backstage at Nashville’s LP Field just after Urban began his hour-long set.

“Well, we’re home, Nashville,” a buoyant Urban yelled to the screaming crowd during the concert, before wishing them a happy Fourth of July, telling them, “We were blowing things up last night!”

Urban and Kidman spent the previous evening at pal Ronnie Dunn’s house for the Brooks & Dunn singer’s annual July 4 party that features a homemade fireworks show.

There was speculation that Urban might join headliner Kenny Chesney. Instead, the singer left the stage after his set to join his wife. The two walked hand-in-hand, pausing briefly to wave to the crowd, to a waiting golf cart that whisked them away.
