Models are dumb

Russell Simmons and model Julie Henderson in Miami last year

The saddest thing about this story isn't that Russell Simmons had a priceless piece of artwork destroyed -- it's that he throws parties and freaking supermodels show up. I don't care how rich he is. The dude looks like E.T.'s retarded cousin. From the New York Post:

Russell Simmons had to cordon off his art collection after a guest during a party packed with Victoria's Secret models erased part of a $100,000 chalk drawing by Gary Simmons (no relation to Russell). A rep for the hip-hop impresario told us, "One woman, who shall not be named, rubbed up against a chalk drawing. She didn't realize it had been intentionally smudged by the artist, so she took a cloth to wipe it, rubbing off a part of the artwork." The destruction took place at Russell Simmons' downtown apartment May 26 during a charity bash hosted by Selita Ebanks.

If I had a nickel for every time one of the supermodels who partied at my multimillion dollar apartment destroyed a piece of my one-of-a-kind artwork, I'd have just as much money as I do now -- none. Besides, if Russell wanted to make sure the models didn't get anywhere near his art collection, he didn't need to cordon it off. He just needed to put a textbook in front of it. OMG, MATH!!! RUN!!!

Russell does a lot of charity work for children and is a nice guy. He does date a lot of white women less than half his age, but he also dates minorities. Realistically, his wealth does give him a lot of opportunities to date models that he would not otherwise have. But that is usually the case with extremely wealthy men. I don't think Hefner is as wealthy as Russell, but he is over 30 years older and dates teen centerfolds, which is kind of sick. Tiger obviously had an obsesssion only with white women, but it's not like that with Russell. At the aggregate level, there is a pattern of black men who prefer white women, especially blondes. That is due to the legacy of racism in colonial slavery when the plantation owner's daughter was considered the "trophy", especially a blue-eyed blonde. That harsh racism has persisted in modern times in more subtle, complicated forms in the media and society. So there are black men who prefer blondes exclusively. I see that at the gym a lot. But I don't think Russell is at that extreme like Tiger or OJ. Russell also dates minority models. As for Julie, she claims she is not a gold digger but probably wouldn't have been with Russell if he made minimum wage and qualified for Medicaid. Money talks for women like that, but eventually they will get old and lose that leverage of beauty. As for me, I am Native American. Interracial dating is old news for us. Most modern Native Americans are part white. It's rare to find a "4/4" Native American. Heather Locklear is actually part Lumbee. Most Cherokees actually look more Scottish or Irish rather than indigenous.

Wow, it's the tall, well-built 7-Up spokesman from the late-1970's/early-1980's. The dude w/ the deeeep voice who appeared in the movie version of 'Annie'. I always wondered what happened to him! DAMN, he looks gooooooooood!!! (:

We (((love))) you identifiable-yet-unnamed-Black-dude!

You forgot Obama, he is the most successful black man in the world and his woman is black. Just goes to show black men can go further with black women beside them.

Who is really the idiot? The person who cleaned a smudge of his "art"? Or the person who paid $300K for art with a smudge of chalk on it. Those models get lightheaded easily. She probably hadn't eaten in days...

Beautiful women are interested in a man's soul, not his looks. Russell looks very sensative.
