EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: ‘Sexiest woman in the world’ Madalina Ghenea yearns for a ‘real man’ after stealing the hearts of Leonardo DiCaprio, Gerard Butler and Michael Fassbender
Called the sexiest woman in the world and beyond, she has won the hearts of Leonardo DiCaprio, Gerard Butler and Michael Fassbender – yet model and actress Madalina Ghenea continues to search for a ‘real man’.
It seemed the Romanian beauty and mother of one, 36, had met her match in Bulgarian tennis ace Grigor Dimitrov, who previously dated singer Nicole Scherzinger, but sadly I hear they have split.
“It seems I’ve made the wrong choices,” she tells me at the West End premiere of her new film, Deep Fear, in which she appears alongside former Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick. “I chose children instead of men, and I’m not talking about age,” she gushes about her former flames.
She has been called the sexiest woman in the world and beyond and has captured the hearts of Leonardo DiCaprio, Gerard Butler and Michael Fassbender.

‘If I want to find a partner, I need someone who accepts that I work first and foremost as a mother, and as a producer, actress and model. I’m not talking about being a feminist and women’s power and all that, but it’s hard to find a man who can share the power.”
The actress played a young Sophia Loren in the 2021 film House Of Gucci after catching the attention of director Ridley Scott, who noted her striking resemblance to the Italian icon.

The Princess of Wales’ brother James Middleton has shared his joy at fatherhood as he shared his first glimpse of his newborn son Inigo.
The baby, whose mother is James’ French wife Alizée Thevenet, is pictured above, wrapped in a blanket and surrounded by the entrepreneur’s beloved dogs, and, appropriately enough, in a papoose.
“He’s only been in our lives for a few weeks, but it’s been the most special of my life,” James says.
Inigo is a cousin of Prince George, Princess Charlotte.
Why money can’t buy happiness for artistic Daphne
I hope friends will stimulate the minds of the inimitable fashion icon and ceaselessly inventive soul, Daphne Guinness
She has always been and always will be my favorite Guinness. So I hope friends will stimulate the minds of the inimitable fashion icon and ceaselessly inventive soul, Daphne Guinness.
The platinum-haired musician has revealed to fans that she is facing ‘serious issues’ with her ‘physical health’. Without revealing further details, Daphne, who received a £30million divorce settlement from Greek shipping heir Spyros Niarchos, with whom she had three children, said: ‘I hope I survive to see the release of my file.’
Daphne then poignantly references her late friends, stylist Isabella ‘Issie’ Blow and designer Alexander McQueen.
“I’m starting to agree with my friends Alexander and Issie: the culture is dead and I’ve been fighting a losing battle,” Daphne, 55, said on social media site X.
“Well, music is a good fight to fight. And if I die on this hill, so be it.”
Cara’s ecological crusade costs the earth
Top Model’s Initiative Earth, the company she founded to help save the world, is still finding its way
While it seems trendy for celebrities to join the fight against climate change, it’s proving costly for Cara Delevingne so far.
I can tell you that Top Model Initiative Earth, the company she founded to help save the world, is still finding its feet.
Last year its income of £271,844 was overshadowed by expenditure of £309,098, some of which went to educational workshops.
Camilla’s niece picks up the pumpkins for him and her
Ayesha Shand, Queen Camilla’s niece, enjoys the more pagan atmosphere of Halloween
Her uncle, King Charles, may be the head of the Church of England, but Ayesha Shand, Queen Camilla’s niece, enjoys the more pagan atmosphere of Halloween.
To mark the spooky season, she and her businessman boyfriend Luigi Ambrosi carved his-and-her pumpkins. The couple was seen at a market holding their pair of pumpkins, which they named “Marv and Marsha.”
Ayesha, 28, is the daughter of Her Majesty’s brother, the late conservationist Mark Shand. She works with Princess Eugenie at the art gallery Hauser & Wirth as an associate director and moved to New York to work from their office in the Big Apple.

This happily married blueblood who works in London’s hospitality industry enlivens his workday – and that of his subordinates – by lining up beautiful young women under his command, closing his eyes and identifying them by feeling their breasts. “They’re all for it, they love it,” one of his comrades assures me.
(Very) modern manners
Just as Dumfries House – saved by the King for the nation – prepares to host a ceilidh next month, the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society is issuing new guidelines.
Dancers are encouraged to ‘explore both sides of dance’ – male and female – regardless of gender, where previously they would have been segregated to either side of the room based on gender.
“Brings out the anarchist in me,” says my husband north of the border, advising ladies and gals to breeze away to “the local nine-to-ninety-year-old dance or the Royal Caledonian Ball.”
Will bartender reveal Mick’s secrets?
Mixologist Salvatore Calabrese shook martinis for King Charles
Mixologist Salvatore Calabrese has shaken martinis for King Charles and mixed drinks for stars like Madonna and Mick Jagger, but he now plans to reveal the secrets of the rich and famous in his autobiography.
“I’ve wanted to do this for years,” Salvatore tells me at the La Hechicera rum party at Corinthia’s Velvet Bar. “It might ruffle some feathers,” he warns, but adds: “It seems a shame to let these anecdotes die. It was hard because I didn’t want to upset my famous friends while I was still serving them.”
I hope not. He charges his punters up to £5,550 for a cocktail.
Turning 75 next month is nothing to write home about, says Sixties star Lulu.
“I’m not going to celebrate, it’s just a number and it’s just another day,” she tells me.
“The only thing that makes me feel old is when I wake up in the morning with pain, but my spirit keeps me young.”
She adds: ‘I’m very happy that I’m getting older and feel better about myself.’
I hear that Sir Paul McCartney and his daughter Stella are among the guests who have quietly made a donation to The Felix Project at Los Mochis restaurant in Notting Hill.
The pair have raised £25,000 each, which will help provide gourmet meals to 135,000 Londoners hardest hit by the cost of living.
“By donating they have given something back to a group of people who are having a hard time,” Los Mochis owner Markus Thesleff told me.
