Rumors are swirling that the Israeli supermodel has come in between Shakira and her longtime beau, Barcelona soccer player Gerard Piqué. No one’s naming sources just yet, but several media reports state Bar and Gerard are already heating up their love affair. Reps for the model deny the rumors, and Shakira recently told reporters her relationship with Gerard is in great shape. Still, Bar did little to dispel …More

Stars Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin are currently in Israel, shooting scenes for the Showtime series, “Homeland.” The filming caused quite the commotion Tuesday, but not because of the celebrity gravitas brought by Danes and Patinkin. Gilad Shalit made a surprise appearance, creating a storm of media attention. The similarities between Shalit’s story and the “Homeland” plot are easy to see. The show is based off an Israeli series called “Hatufim,” which literally means …More

The concert will take place at Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv on October 6, as part of Lenny’s “Black and White in America” tour, named after his latest album. Sounds more like “Black and White in Israel.” Anyone else wondering if Kravitz can work some of that gold eyeliner into his …More

Lena Dunham has taken plenty of flak for the all-white cast of new HBO series, “Girls.” Now, the writer/director/actress has defended her work, during an interview with NPR: “I am a half-Jew, half-WASP, and I wrote two Jews and two WASPs.” The 25-year-old went on to say she wanted to avoid “tokenism,” adding: “Not that the experience of an African-American girl and a white girl are drastically different, but there has to be specificity to that experience [that] I wasn't …More

David Beckham was at the White House yesterday with his teammates from the LA Galaxy soccer team. He brought along what appears to be the club’s new mascot: a fresh new mustache. The new lip ‘do was on display as President Barack Obama honored the Galaxy’s 2011 Major League Soccer Cup title. Jspace staff had a difficult time finding the right adjective to describe the handlebar mustache, so we’ll settle on: “different.” Beckham’s ‘stache did not go unnoticed by …More

Sacha Baron Cohen sure has been busy. In the character of General Aladeen, the funnyman embarked on a promotion frenzy for his film, “The Dictator.” He’s hooked Martin Scorsese up to an electrical box on SNL, checked out Jon Stewart’s genitalia, dumped a body in the French Riviera, fell off a camel in Cannes, spilled ashes on Ryan Seacrest and held a gun up to former Harrods owner, Mohamed Al Fayed. With the official US launch of the movie today, we’re hoping Sacha can finally get …More

Orthodox Jewish rapper Y-Love has announced that he is gay. The rapper, who records with the Jewish label Shemspeed, made the announcement in an Out magazine article published Tuesday. “I feel like I’ve wasted years of my life worrying that it would alienate the community I dedicated my life to as an artist and as a man,” the 34-year-old rapper, whose name is Yitz Jordan, told Out. “But my hope is that it will open their eyes--and hearts.” Y-Love, who was born to a Puerto Rican …More

We were really hoping to get through this week without having to write about “Battleship.” First of all, how is this a movie? It’s barely a board game. Second, there doesn’t appear to be anything remotely Jewish about the film, unless the whole alien invasion thing is some religious metaphor we missed. Basically, we thought we could get a pass on this one. It would seem not, thanks to “Battleship” director Peter Berg, who decided to go crazy on an unsuspecting Israeli …More

Last week, Melissa Gilbert said a tearful goodbye to “Dancing With the Stars,” and Team Melissa and Maks cried with her. Everyone else, though, looked forward to last night’s final four performance, featuring the always hunky William Levy. The “Cuban Brad Pitt” has made quite a splash on “DWTS,” causing even the obligatory British judge to get all hot and bothered. His second week, he earned the first nines of the season, from Carrie Ann and Bruno, for his quickstep to …More

Alona Tal isn’t done being “Supernatural.” The Israeli model slash actress has joined the cast of CW’s new crime pilot “Cult.” As imagined by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the oh-so brilliant minds behind “Gossip Girl,” “Cult” focuses on a string of mysterious crimes that imitate those depicted in a television show, also titled “Cult.” Anyone’s mind blown? No? Fine, go back to freeze-framing “Lost” episodes and find …More

In the latest appalling “Glee” news, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson have been signed for multi-episode runs in the next season. Fox announced Monday that Carrie Bradshaw and Penny Lane would be joining the band of misfits in trying desperately to solve deep-seated plot and tonal problems with famous faces and lots of money. Remember when “Glee” involved low-budget musical numbers and jokes at the expense of the shop teacher who accidentally cut off his thumbs? No matter. Ryan …More
