Madison Square Garden is a special place for WWE superstar Randy Orton and his wife, Kim Orton.
On the latest episode of “The Wives of Wrestling” podcast — which is hosted by Jon Alba and also featured Kim and Giovanna Angle, who is the wife of WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle — Kim recalled having sex with Orton at The Garden during the most festive time of the year, the New York Post reports.

“Big Show walked in on us in Madison Square Garden,” Kim recalled.
“He told us the room to go in. A security guard walked in on us. That’s when he had both titles. New, fresh love. There’s nothing better.”
Alba pointed out that the WWE took over MSG around Christmas time in 2013, when Orton was the WWE World Champion. The 42-year-old is currently sidelined with a back injury.
“You f***ed in Madison Square Garden at [WWE’s] Christmas shows? What is wrong with you, woman? Alba asked.
“What do you mean?” Kim asked. “We’re showing Christ our love. I’m so glad my kids don’t like me enough to listen [to the podcast] anymore.”
Kim and Orton welcomed their daughter Brooklyn Rose Orton in November 2016 — a year after the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas. She has three sons from her first marriage, Anthony, Robbie, and Michael. Orton also has a daughter, Alanna, from his first marriage to gymnast Samantha Speno.
“Why do you think my husband fell in love with me, Jon?” Kim asked. “He’s like ‘wait a minute, this chick is something else. She’s a freak.’”
Orton proposed to Kim during a romantic getaway to Bora Bora, and they tied the knot four months later on Nov. 14, 2015. The couple met at a live event in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 2012, while she was a member of his fanclub.
Kim brought up the sex story after the group discussed the cleanliness of title belts after they are won.
“People that have titles, when you first bring that title home make sure you alcohol swab that sh*t down,” said Kim.
“Me and Kurt may or may have done it with his medal… I just had them on. You heard ‘clink, clink, clink,’” Giovanna quipped of her Olympian husband.

It’s a toy that’s become synonymous with play all around the world, now the LEGO Group is celebrating 90 years as a company.
Over the decades, Lego has gone from strength-to-strength, becoming a multi-billion dollar empire.

A Current Affair has joined LEGO to take a look back at the company’s history, dating back to 1932.
Starting from humble beginnings in a Denmark workshop, a carpenter started carving and selling wooden toys.
But Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s real success wouldn’t come for another 17 years when the famous brick we all know and love were born, in 1949.
“I bet back then they wouldn’t have thought how big the Lego company would be after introducing that brick. And I guess the rest you could say, is history right?” LEGO Australia’s Angie Tutt told A Current Affair.
“I think the success really lies down to the magic of this brick, a very simple brick,” she said.
There’s an incredible 70 billion pieces of Lego sold every year.
There are also more LEGO mini figures on earth than there are humans, with 8.3 billion LEGO people in circulation.
“If you look at everything we’ve launched across time, it’s around 18-thousand products we have bought to market in our history so quite a lot going on,” she said.
Miller Keys is the only LEGO Master Builder in all of Australia, the 24-year-old says he has built many sets since he was a child.

“It’s like art, like painting but you don’t need to know how to paint. You just need to know how to click two bricks together and then you can build anything – that’s what makes it cool,” he told A Current Affair.
Keys works at Melbourne’s Legoland Discovery Center at Chadstone Shopping Centre.
“When I was four and playing around with LEGO, if I would have known it would become my full-time job it would have absolutely blown my mind,” he said.
Inside the Legoland Discovery Center is a whole world of LEGO, including a recreation of Melbourne, made up of 1.5 million bricks.
Keys says it took builders 5000 hours to assemble it all.
These days, the toy juggernaut is more than just bricks.
There are 830 Lego stores globally, dozens of blockbuster movies and TV shows about Lego and in more recent years, intricate sets designed specifically for adults.
“What everybody doesn’t really do enough these days is play. So that’s what makes Lego really awesome as well – it can bring adults back to their childhood as well,” Keys said.

So what’s next for LEGO?
While they couldn’t reveal to us exactly what was to come, Tutt says next year we can expect a few surprises.
“In 2023 you need to look out for new partnerships we’ve got coming, definitely some new products and new ideas and we really want to get back out into Australian communities and get bricks in hands,” she said.
To celebrate its 90 years, LEGO is releasing some classic LEGO sets and encouraging fans to play for 90 minutes on August 10.
Two potential buyers dropped out of the race for a Dulwich Hill house that still sold for $2.41 million at auction on Saturday, amid buyer caution ahead of yet another expected cash rate increase this week.
Five local families turned out to compete for the charming four-bedroom period home, complete with a white picket fence, but bidding for 65 Windsor Road was slow to start. Some interested parties ditched their plans to bid and watched from the sidelines.
The home was one of 537 Sydney homes scheduled for auction on Saturday. By evening, Domain Group had recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 55.7 per cent from 348 reported results, while 110 auctions were withdrawn. Withdrawn auctions are counted as unsold properties when calculating the clearance rate.
Auctioneer Clarence White, of Menck White Auctioneers, had to urge interested parties to take action before securing an opening offer of $2 million. He then called the property three times before a second bid of $2.05 million was made.
The pace picked up from there, with four of the five registered bidders pushing the price up in mostly $50,000 increments to the $2.35 million reserve, after which the bidding slowed to $10,000 jumps.

The 417-square-meter property sold to an upsizing local family. The result was $60,000 above the reserve price, and more than 13 times the $177,000 that records show it last traded for almost 30 years ago.
House prices in Dulwich Hill climbed 7.8 per cent over the year to June, reaching a median of $1.91 million, Domain data shows.
Seller Robert Drake was pleased with the result. He had already purchased a property in East Kurrajong to retire to with his wife from him and had some concern about selling in a cooler market, but he noted the pair had realistic expectations.
“We bought first and then sold, which becomes a bit nerve-wracking in a falling market, but it worked out alright,” he said. “It’s really nice to hand over our home to another family with kids.”
Sales agent William Pereira, of Adrian William, had been expecting seven buyers, but two dropped out at the last minute, deciding to watch the auction from the sidelines.

Pereira said news about rising interest rates and cooling prices had made buyers a bit more cautious in their approach, but noted there was still good buyer demand.
White expected it would be his strongest auction of the day, with only one to two bidders expected at the three other auctions he was calling on Saturday.
“It’s really nice to have strong bidding… that’s a rarity at the moment,” he said.
While rising interest rates were putting downward pressure on prices, as they were affecting buyers’ borrowing power, he felt the pullback in buyer confidence was having a larger effect.
“Buyers move in flocks, so the fact that everybody knows the market is going down, and the fact that they’re anticipating it is going to go down further, is making everybody far less confident… it’s driven by fear.”

In Wahroonga, a six-bedroom house with a tennis court sold for $13.03 million, setting a new suburb record and trading for more than $2 million above the reserve price.
Eight buyers registered to bid on 27 Braeside Street, which had a price guide of $10 million.
The bidding opened at $9 million, and climbed in six-figure increments, with three of the parties making offers. An expat family returning from Hong Kong won.
Records show the 2484-square-meter block last traded for $4,045,000 in 2017, when it was purchased by anesthetist David Woods and Alexandra Woods. The pair rebuilt on the block in 2020.
Selling agents Tim Fraser of Di Jones and Adam McKay of Ray White Upper North Shore said the result was well above their expectations.
READMORE: Top ten suburbs where property has gotten cheaper
McKay said many properties at that price level sold before auction, due to fear that there would not be enough competition.
“We knew we had the interest there, so wanted to have the auction. To get eight registered bidders on a property with a guide of $10 million shows… there’s a lot of depth in the market for buyers at that price level,” McKay said.
Fraser added that buyers of high-end homes had not been as affected by rising interest rates as other purchasers, and many had built up a lot of equity in their existing homes throughout the property boom.
Down south, a four-bedroom house at Taren Point sold for $1.85 million, well above the $1.35 million the home last traded for less than two years ago before an extensive renovation.
Of the six buyers who registered to bid on 34 Curtis Avenue, three made offers, with bidding kicking off at $1.6 million and initially increasing in $25,000 jumps.
Bidding stalled at $1.83 million, the highest bidder then increased their offer to the $1.85 million reserve price, following negotiations on the auction floor.
The 645-square-meter block sold through Trent Tarbey, of McGrath Sans Souci, to an upsizing family from Dolls Point. The sellers were also upsizing, to a home just down the road.
In Alexandria, a two-bedroom townhouse at 14/18-20 Newton Street sold for $1.14 million through Brad Gillespie of The Agency Eastern Suburbs.
First home buyers, upsizers and investors competed for the keys. Bidding opened at $900,000, and quickly passed the $950,000 price guide, with four of the seven registered buyers making offers. A northern beaches investor outbid locals to buy the 139-square-meter block.
The result was $90,000 above the reserve price, and well above the $640,000 the property last sold for in 2013.

‘I don’t know myself anymore, everything is about her. Ella she is the best thing that has ever happened to me, ‘she said.
She added although she had to make some necessary adjustments to provide for Starr it was well worth it.
‘Finding time to do anything by myself is almost unheard of, but she is everything to me,’ she explained.
Brynne said she feels blessed to have a perfect daughter to care for
American-born socialite Brynne welcomed her ‘miracle baby’ on April 21.
She recently told New Idea that she’d chosen to give her baby girl the surname Gordon – her maiden name – so she would ‘feel connected’ to her family in the US
The identity of Starr’s father has not been made public. However, Brynne confirmed to the publication the man had met his daughter twice.

‘I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since Starr arrived,’ Brynne said of motherhood.
‘But I wouldn’t trade being a mum for anything – I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.’
The pregnancy was delightful news for Brynne, who discovered during her high-profile marriage to Geoffrey Eldesten that it was unlikely she could ever conceive naturally.

Their marriage, however, was short-lived and the pair divorced in 2014 after Brynne alleged her husband had been unfaithful to her.
The socialite recently made headlines after making bombshell claims her ex-husband Geoffrey Edelston tried to choke her with her own headband after she caught him sending large sums of money to young women on ‘sugar daddy’ dating apps.
The reality star is suing Edelsten’s estate for maintenance and support after his death last year.
She claimed Edelsten caught her contacting the women through her phone on one occasion and ‘punched her in the chest’ at their Melbourne CBD penthouse.

Smith posted a video to his verified Instagram account and on YouTube on Friday that began with the words on screen, “It’s been a minute.”
“Over the last few months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and personal work…,” the statement reads.

“You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer.”
Smith can then be heard sighing, he enters the screen and addresses to camera why he didn’t apologize to Rock during his Oscars acceptance speech following his win for best actor for his role in king richard.
“I was fogged out by that point,” Smith says.
“It’s all fuzzy. I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you are ready to talk.”
CNN has reached out to representatives for Rock for comment.
Smith also apologizes to Rock’s mother, family and his brother, Tony Rock, who had starred in the 2007 sitcom All of Uswhich was created by Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
“We had a great relationship,” Smith says. “Tony Rock was my man and this is probably irreparable.”
Smith walked on stage at the Oscars and slapped Chris Rock, who was presenting at the time, after he made a joke about Smith’s wife’s shaved head.

In his video, Smith also answers the question as to whether or not his wife, after rolling her eyes at Rock’s joke, had asked him to do something in that moment by saying she did not.
He also apologizes to her, their children, and his fellow Academy Award nominees in the post.
Smith says he “spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuance and the complexities of what happened in that moment.”

“I’m not going to try to unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment,” he says.
“There’s no part of me that thinks that is the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”
Smith adds that it hurts him to know that he didn’t live up to the image people had of him.

“Disappointing people is my central trauma,” he says.” I hate when I let people down so it hurts.”
Smith directs a message to his supporters, saying he’s committed “to putting light and love and joy into the world.”
“If you hang on I promise we’ll be able to be friends again,” he concludes.
Neighbors star Ryan Moloney has revealed that he is again eyeing acting roles after switching his focus to a career in construction.
In an interview with Mark Dolan on GB News last night, Ryan, 42, who has played Jarrod ‘Toadfish’ Rebecchi on the soap since 1995, said that after the success of this week’s finale, he was again considering work on the big and small screens.
‘I’d love to do more acting and more TV and film. I’d love to come over to the UK and have a crack at one of your dramas. That would be absolutely special’ he said.

Ryan explained: ‘I’m just not saying no to anything and then in the meantime I’m doing civil construction.
‘I’m about to start doing civil construction and have to do what every little boy dreams of and learn how to drive trucks and excavators and dig big holes, so it’s all one big adventure.’
Asked how much contact he has had with cast members such as Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, Ryan joked: ‘Well, it’s very limited because that’s what the court order says that I’m allowed to.’

When it comes to regrets, Ryan insists he doesn’t have many.
‘I wouldn’t change anything. Probably the biggest downside is just trying to manage, like all of that kind of fame and attention,’ he said.
‘That’s one thing for me to deal with but then when you realize that your family has to deal with it as well and they haven’t been brought up with it and they’re not trained in it and having kids – kids don’t want to have all that attention on them.

‘I’d love to do more acting and more TV and film. I’d love to come over to the UK and have a crack at one of your dramas. That would be absolutely special’ Ryan said
‘I was at the gym with my daughter and before you know it, we’ve got a whole exercise group wanting to take photos with me and she’s just like, “oh my god”.
‘It’s things like that that you kind of go ‘I’m thankful that I am leaving’ at that point in that perhaps my kids can just kind of go under the radar a bit more and just enjoy having dad a bit more instead of the famous guy off TV.’
Ryan previously told The Daily Telegraph of his new career: ‘I’m not ruling anything out. I’m doing a civil construction course which is about driving excavators and building roads.
When it comes to regrets, Ryan insists he doesn’t have many. ‘I wouldn’t change anything. Probably the biggest downside is just trying to manage, like all of that kind of fame and attention,’ he said
‘I like playing with those kinds of machines. I like doing earthworks, all that kind of manual labor stuff. That’s where I’m at, but who knows where it’s all going to end up.’
Ryan also revealed he has a commercial pilots license and said he ‘might come back to flying when the time’s right’.

‘I have done so and I enjoyed it very much. I was born there, I’ve got my family there, aunties and cousins,’ he said.
‘I went back in 2000 and went back in 1999, it’s a great place.
‘The Brits, the UK – it’s a wonderful place to be, they embrace Neighbors like big, big warm cuddle. It’s beautiful.’

Asked why he thought the series was so popular in the UK, Benjamin said: ‘I think it’s because we bounce along and it’s jovial and it’s fun and it’s larrikinism.
‘It’s things you probably wouldn’t normally see and you’re hoping to see a kangaroo bounce pass in front of the camera one day.’
The all-star series finale of Neighbors saw the soap win the Australian television ratings for the first time in more than a decade.
The long-running Australian soap came to an end after 37 years this week. Pictured: Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue in the final episode
The episode, which was simulcast on Channel 10 and 10 Peach, drew 873,000 metro viewers across both stations, largely thanks to the cast of returning favorites such as Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.
Neighbours’ final ever episode also ended on a high in the UK this week, as a peak of almost 3 million viewers tuned in to Channel 5 on Friday afternoon.
Neighbors was axed after the UK’s Channel 5 decided in March not to renew its contract with production company Fremantle to finance and broadcast the series.

In just a few weeks, Olivia Wilde and boyfriend Harry Styles will step on the red carpet at the prestigious Venice Film Festival for the world premiere of their new movie, Don’t Worry Darlingwhich she directed.
They will be joined by Styles’ co-star Florence Pugh, one of Hollywood’s brightest young things. But Hollywood is buzzing that the 26-year-old actress has fallen out with Wilde, 38, over the director hooking up with Styles.
“I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry,” one insider told The New York Post’s Page Sixreferring to Wilde’s ex, ted lasso star Jason Sudeikis.
The former couple — who got engaged in 2012 and share kids Otis, 8, and Daisy, 5 — announced the end of their seven-year romance in November 2020.
At the time, sources cited Wilde’s relationship with Harry as the main reason for the split, with one insider telling Page Six the affair with Styles, now 28, had been ongoing for a month, leaving Sudeikis distraught.
“Jason and the kids visited Olivia on set at the beginning a few times, so I think this all made people feel a little uncomfortable,” the insider said this week.
Internet sleuths certainly think something is up — finding it strange that, in an industry where stars live and die by Instagram, Pugh failed to “like” a post in which Wilde included the full official trailer for Don’t Worry Darling last week.
Wilde followed that up by posting a photo of Pugh with the comment: “Watching this woman work was such af***ing thrill! Can’t wait to show you more. @florencepugh@dontworrydarling.”
Pugh, again, was conspicuous by her silence — and the fact that, on the same day, she posted a teaser trailer for another new project, Oppenheimerabout J. Robert Oppenheimer, the so-called father of the atomic bomb.
It’s a subject of hot debate on social media, with one fan tweeting: “The way Florence Pugh has yet to post about Don’t Worry Darling even though there are two trailers out for it and yet she’ll post about every single other project that she’s doing right now – like what did Olivia Wilde do????”
“I think it’s so funny how Florence Pugh had said NOTHING about Don’t Worry Darling and Olivia Wilde keeps trying to hype her up,” tweeted another.
And noted a third Twitter user: “I need to know what Olivia Wilde did to my baby Florence Pugh on the set of DWD because my girl has been SILENT on movie updates.”
But, a source told Page Six, “I heard she was already scheduled to post (about Oppenheimer) that day for some specific reason, it had nothing to do with a response to Olivia.”
Don’t Worry Darling is described as a tale of an unhappy 1950s housewife, played by Pugh, who discovers a disturbing truth about her idyllic life, while her loving husband, played by Styles, hides a dark secret.
On the blue carpet in support of a Tiffany and Co. opening in London this week, Pugh was asked about working with Styles. She said he was “a total professional and it was a great experience working together”.
She then spoke about the cinematography and styling — “It was a joy to walk into the hair and makeup trailer every day,” Pugh said, noting, “the way that everything looks delicious and golden” — but had nothing to say about her director , Wilde.
It’s Wilde’s second film, following the success of 2019’s book smart, for which she won an Independent Spirit Award. She hired former One Direction heart-throb Styles on Don’t Worry Darling to replace actor Shia LaBeouf, who was caught up in a lawsuit by his former girlfriend FKA Twigs over allegations of sexual assault and “relentless” abuse. (LaBeouf has denied the claims, and the case will go in front of a judge next April.) Wilde famously said she had a “No Assholes” policy on set.
Wilde has further been in the headlines after being served custody papers by Sudeikis while promoting Don’t Worry Darling in Las Vegas at CinemaCon in April, for which he later apologized.
Pugh is currently filming Dunes 2 playing Princess Irulan, and another Hollywood insider told Page Six: “Florence is shooting dunes right now and out of pocket. I’m sure she will be front and center for the (Don’t Worry Darling) promo. Once the promo starts in late August, early September, I’m sure she’ll be visible.”
Reps for Styles, Wilde and Pugh were unavailable for comment.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter made her on-screen debut.
Holmes, 43, stars in the newly released movie “Alone Together,” and her daughter Suri Cruise, 16, joined her on the big screen, Fox News Digital has reported.
“I always want the highest level of talent,” Holmes said in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. “So, I asked her. She’s very, very talented. She said she would do it, and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing about her. That’s the way I direct in general. It’s like, ‘This is what I think we all want – go do your thing.’”
In the movie, Suri sings a cover of “Blue Moon,” which plays during the opening credits of the film. Holmes told the outlet this will not be her daughter’s only on-screen singing gig.
“She actually did sing in ‘Rare Objects,’ which is the film we did last fall,” Holmes explained. “Other than that, she she’s a 16-year-old kid doing high school.”
Cruise and Holmes were married from 2006 to 2012. Suri is their only child together, and Suri’s parents opted to keep her out of the public eye for a majority of her childhood.
Holmes directed, wrote and stars in “Alone Together.” She stars alongside Jim Sturgess in the romantic comedy set during the coronavirus pandemic. The film follows a man and woman fleeing New York City during the first wave of the pandemic in 2020.
The pair end up booking the same Airbnb and ultimately decide to stay at the upstate property together.
Sturgess praised Holmes’ directing style and shared that she gives actors wide latitude when they are in front of the camera.
“She gives you this incredible space between action and cut,” Sturgess said of his co-star.
“She very rarely shouted, ‘Cut!’ actually. You’d think the scene had ended and she just kind of left it hanging. I love that she was always searching for those little nuggets of authenticity.”
The movie is in theaters and will move to video on demand on Friday.

I have equally limited knowledge about any of the multitude of Kardashian franchises, which I know I will NEVER watch. And, for a while, it was the same with Game of Thrones.
But just as I know who the Kardashians are, for years I knew all about Jon Snow, that there was a lot of blood, gore, incestuous sex and devious plotting going on in GOT. Oh, and that winter was coming.
Peter Dinklage in a scene from Game of Thrones.
Once, I even pretended to have a favorite “House” after turning up at the launch of a GOT-themed whiskey.
“Starks!” I confidently declared, as the leather-clad, bare-chested bartender poured me the tipple to sample.
I have lost count of the number of times friends, some of them truly committed fanatics of the show, would launch into long-winded, seemingly endless conversations about major moments in the series, like when Ned Stark lost his head – literally. Or the bloody Red Wedding scene.
Each time I would feign interest, smiling, nodding in agreement. But, in fact, I had absolutely no clue about any of it, until many years later when I binge-watched the entire series during lockdown and COVID isolation. It was a daunting task, one I had put off for years because of the sheer volume of episodes to get through.
It proved to be a revelation; I was completely hooked. hurtling down the thrones hole for days on end, I found myself utterly transfixed by those same storylines that once had my eyes glazing over.
As I got deeper into the show, I started sending messages in the middle of the night, sharing my new-found conversion with all the enthusiasm those fans had evangelised the show’s virtues to me years before. Sadly, for them, those major plot moments had well and truly passed.
I received many bemused emoji faces in response, though that was much more polite than the comments I received after admitting on a friend’s Facebook thread I had still not seen top gun as she was espousing the greatness of the sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
And it is, top gun was launched back in 1986. It has been on television too many times to count, and in the era of streaming it is constantly available. I figured the horse had well and truly bolted, so why bother?

My admission prompted a deluge of disbelief from people who have known me for decades. People I consider intimate and dear friends. People I regard very highly.
Suddenly, I was a complete stranger to them. We no longer spoke in a common tongue.
And there are many more “water cooler” shows that have passed me by like house of cards, The Sopranos, ozarks- all of which sound appealing but have so far evaded my remote control.
And again, I ask myself, do I REALLY need to watch the show when I can simply fake it, at least until the next pandemic comes along?

McNeil’s portable life story is on display in the latest campaign for Australian denim brand Ksubi, marking her latest comeback. “It’s a part of me that a lot of people are intrigued by, and I’m happy about that,” McNeil, 33, says. “I’m very proud of the work. Back when I started tattoos were taboo.”
That start was nearly 20 years ago in 2003, when a 13-year-old McNeil won the girlfriend magazine model search, beating fellow contestant Ruby Rose, who she would go on to become briefly engaged to in 2010. Following an exclusive contract with controversial photographer Mario Testino and cover appearances on French fashion and v magazine in 2007, McNeil was catapulted to supermodel status, becoming a regular catwalk at Chanel, Prada and Jean Paul Gaultier.
French fashion named McNeil one of the top 30 models of the 00s, along with Gemma Ward and Gisele Bundchen. Like her de ella peers de ella, McNeil’s career de ella has been marked by periods of flashbulb bright exposure, followed by seasons spent avoiding the lens. The Ksubi campaign marks the end of one of the model’s longest retreats from fame.
“It was good to be back and working with a team I knew,” McNeil says. “It was shot at my home and it’s very reflective of me. I remember saving up for a pair of Ksubi jeans when I was young, and it’s still my style.”
In the three years that McNeil has been away from the industry, modeling has changed, with greater size and gender diversity, as well as increased visibility of mature models such as Kristen McMenamy, 57, Shalom Harlow, 48 and Linda Evangelista, 57.
“Don’t forget Kate Moss, Mariacarla Boscono and Stephanie Seymour,” McNeil adds. “It’s definitely nice to see that there’s no expiration date anymore.”
