Licensed to be really really good looking

December 4, 2008 - 10:52 AM by

Ha’aretz usually gets kudos for catering to a common denominator that’s slightly higher than its primary daily newspaper competitors, the Yediot and Ma’ariv tabloids. But in the case of this schlockily-headlined item on their website, it seems that Ha’aretz is just trying to piggyback on the formidable wave of hotness that is Bar Refaeli buzz.

Aparently P Diddy spent 500,000 British pounds on the long-form, James Bond-themed promo video for his new I Am King perfume a video that stars Refaeli, but hardly as prominently as she deserves:

Let’s not forget, hotness as striking as Refaeli’s is rare and deserves as much publicity as possible. Her hotness even got French President Nicolas Sarkozy in trouble on live TV, when the politician, himself married to a model, couldn’t help but check Refaeli’s body out. And other publications are even taking note of her babe-itude as well, despite rumors that the fame is going to her head, and despite the controversies caused by her alleged anti-Israel talk.

And the photo shoot contracts don’t seem to be waning for her either, as she recently modeled for the Hurley International Young Contemporary Spring 2009 apparel and swim collection ads.

Hey – as far as we’re concerned, it doesn’t matter to what extent Ha’aretz is lowering its brow. Any Refaeli content is worthy of publication, by definition.

    2. Oh come on!!

    Bar Rafaeli is not the most amazing woman ever. This kind of crap sounds a PR fix to me.

    And it is so pathetic when will my fellow Israelis stop trying to claim that everything from Israel is so special and unique. To most people in the world Israel is a tiny country and most take no notice what happens there unless it is presented IN LARGE in the media.

    A little reality check: unless one looks in the specialist press magazines or the emptyheaded glitterati, the name Bar Rafaeli in New York City is pretty much NOT known.

    3. David-Joe,

    Nevertheless, I am entertained– and isn’t that the point?
