Gwyneth Paltrow has become the public face of an upscale property project in Israel, going against a worldwide boycott campaign targeting the country over its genocide in Gaza.

Paltrow faced sharp backlash on Wednesday after featuring in a commercial for 51 Park, a 51-floor development in the seaside city of Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv, where units are said to fetch as much as $10m (£7.4m).
The campaign was commissioned by high-end developer Aviv by Melisron and produced by the Israeli agency Why Worry.

“Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust,” user Ounka posted on X. “That’s the level of tone-deaf we’re witnessing.”

Ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev left absolutely nothing to the imagination in Ken Russell‘s 1977 biopic Valentino, delivering a full-frontal and rear performance that had audiences clutching their pearls and their opera glasses simultaneously.

Playing the iconic silent film star Rudolph Valentino, Nureyev — already one of the most celebrated dancers in the world — proved he was just as fearless on screen as he was on stage.

The film was classic Ken Russell chaos: over-the-top, provocative, and unapologetic, and Nureyev matched that energy beat for beat. They don’t make em like this anymore. Check him out after the NSFW jump!
