I’ve never really thought of Jerry Hall as a “natural” woman since she often sports gaudy makeup and extravagantly tacky clothing, plus she was married to Mick Jagger for quite a stint there, which seems to add to the generally sleazy vibe that I’ve always caught from her. In these photos, however, Jerry is very clearly a 56-year-old woman and (underneath the questionable makeup) seems to be a quite beautiful one at that.

Anyway, Jerry claims to have never had plastic surgery (although she never says a word about injectables such as botox), and I believe her. She also goes on to describe those who have had work done as being “like monsters.” She sort of has a point even if she has a fairly abrasive way of speaking on the subject:

Former supermodel Jerry Hall has criticised women who have plastic surgery, branding them “monsters.” The 6ft Texan, who was married to Mick Jagger for nine years, spoke out on an American TV documentary last night.

Ms Hall, 56, said: “I think it is bad that we have as role models people who are scary to small children. I’m definitely not going to have plastic surgery. I think it’s a sickness. I see people who have had work done and I don’t even recognise them. They’re like monsters, scary!”

The 90-minute programme, which will be screened in the UK this autumn, features veteran supermodels such as Hall, Christie Brinkley and Christy Turlington talking about the dangers of drugs, eating disorders and the pressures to stay young-looking in an industry obsessed by youth.

Ms Hall denounced women who go under the knife, saying: “They are cutting up their faces. They are doing all these strange things. They take fat from their bottoms and put it in their lips so that when you kiss them you are kissing their bottom — that is so disgusting. If a man asks you to have plastic surgery, he doesn’t want you, he wants a trophy.”

At first, I found that Jerry’s word selection to describe her reaction to plastic surgery to be a bit overdone and slightly cruel, but she does have a point. When certain celebrities — Marie Osmond, Cindy Crawford, Megan Fox, and Kim Kardashian among them — begin to look completely different than their former selves, things have obviously gone way too far. Then there are really sad cases — including Lara Flynn Boyle and Lindsay Lohan (the latter of whom has added years of drugs and alcohol to the mix) — who are even worse off.

All of the above examples speak to a deluded sense of physical self, for most of these ladies looked so much better before they went under the knife, and they just don’t realize it. Maybe that’s what Jerry is referring to by her use of the word “monster.”

At this point, Jerry Hall doesn’t really care. She doesn’t care who she alienates, who she bashes, who she criticizes, and she definitely doesn’t care about keeping up “cougar” appearances. I hate the word “cougar”. For the record, Jerry hates cougars.

By most accounts, Jerry still has a good relationship with her ex, Mick Jagger. After their split ten years ago, Jerry says she was approached by many younger men, hoping that she would be down for some cougar action. But Jerry’s not that kind of girl. She tells V Magazine (quotes via The Daily Mail): “I personally find having a sexual relationship with people in their twenties incredibly boring. I much prefer older people… [people in their 20s] haven’t the same references… And I find it a bit creepy if you’re having sex with people the same age as your children.” Funny. So is she bashing “cougars” like Madonna, or is she criticizing her ex Mick Jagger and his string of young girlfriends? You decide:

Since her high-profile split from Mick Jagger 10 years ago, Jerry Hall has been approached by a string of young men hoping to become her toyboy. While the ‘cougar’ formula appears to be working for Madonna, who has married and dated several younger men, the Texan supermodel, 52, is sticking to her age group.

Despite starring in the new Chanel advertisements alongside a handsome 19-year-old model, Jerry is adamant she won’t be giving up middle-aged boyfriends anytime soon.

In the stunning new ads for the Chanel accessories collection, designer Karl Lagerfeld shot a series of photographs in a Paris studio featuring Jerry in a clinch with Italian model Baptiste Giabiconi. In the shoot, age-defying Jerry is seen lying on silk sheets with Baptiste surrounded by Chanel accessories.

The sexy shoot is inspired by Cheri, the romantic novel by French author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. Cheri tells the tale of an old retired prostitute who is pursued by a young man who is in madly in love with her.

When asked if she would consider a young man, Jerry insisted she would find it comfortable, especially because she has children in their Twenties. Jerry has four children from her marriage to Rolling Stone Mick, including model Lizzie, 25; actor James, 23; Georgia, 17; and Gabriel, 11.

She told the new issue of American magazine V: ‘I personally find having a sexual relationship with people in their twenties incredibly boring. I much prefer older people.
‘(People in their Twenties) listen to such horrible music. They haven’t the same references… And I find it a bit creepy if you’re having sex with people the same age as your children.’

Some readers might take that as an oblique reference to Mick, who at 65 is seeing the American designer L’Wren Scott, 41.

Or course, the eldest of his seven children – by four women – is 38-year-old daughter Karis, born to Marsha Hunt. The Rolling Stone famously had an affair with Brazilian model Luciana Morad which prompted the end of his marriage to Jerry. Luciana was 28 when she gave birth to Mick’s youngest child Lucas in 1999.

Mick has also been romantically linked to a string of younger women over the decades, including France’s now First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Sophie Dahl, a model 34 years his junior.

While Jerry enjoyed playing ‘cougar’ to her model co-star, she insisted she would never fall for a younger man in real-life.

Referring to Baptiste, Jerry enthused: ”He was just so beautiful, an amazing looking boy.’

After being asked to play such a controversial role in the shoot, Jerry said: ‘I’m thrilled about it and surprised that they keep asking me to model and do things because I never imagined I’d be asked to do it for so long… I’m not having any kind of plastic surgery or trying to look any way younger or stay younger. I’m very happy in my skin.’

Meanwhile, in between raising her children and modelling, Jerry is busy writing her autobiography. The book promises to tell all about her early modelling days in the Seventies, sharing a Paris flat with Grace Jones as well as revelations from her relationships with Mick and Bryan Ferry.

She said tellingly: ‘I’m sure it’s going to upset some people.’

Now, I have a confession. I love trashy autobiographies, especially involving the film and music world. For a good read, I suggest Patty Boyd’s autobiography Wonderful Tonight, about her relationships with George Harrison and Eric Clapton. It’s really interesting, and Patty’s a pretty good writer. I hope Jerry finishes her book soon, because I would love to read the inside the story on Mick.

Note by Celebitchy: Jerry Hall did that reality show “Kept” in which she was looking for a younger guy, so maybe she’s speaking from experience.

51 year-old former supermodel Jerry Hall isn’t above resorting to cheap tactics used by younger tarts to get attention. She ran into her ex common law husband, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, at a party earlier this month and pulled up her dress to show him that she wasn’t wearing underwear. For his part Mick, 64, was said to be initially shocked, but then laughed off the incident. He has a younger, but still age-appropriate, girlfriend and he knew that Hall was just messing around. Hall and Jagger have four grown children together and probably have a friendly relationship.

Even though Jerry agreed to annul her marriage to the rock star nine years ago, the former supermodel, 51, still is hot for 64-year-old Mick, pals say.

And when the couple -who have four children together – both showed up at a party at London’s Nobu restaurant in early February, 6-foot-tall Jerry flashed her famously long legs to reveal she’d “gone commando!”

“Jerry was wearing a black below-the-knee dress and black stockings,” said an insider. When she flashed Mick, at first he was shocked, but then he laughed it off.”

Texas-born Jerry is aware the wrinkly rock has been romantically involved with 43-year-old designer L’Wren Scott – who stands a towering 6-foot-4 – for the past six years, says the insider.

I remember seeing Jerry Hall in a 2005 reality show on VH1, “Kept,” in which younger guys competed for a chance to be her boy toy. The winner said that he never saw Jerry again after the show and claimed that he didn’t even kiss her and that “She was a little too old for me.”

Hall is currently the spokesperson for erectile dysfunction drug Levitra, and manufacturer Bayer released a press release saying that she will “encourage men and women globally to ‘Strike Up A Conversation’ and openly discuss erectile dysfunction with each other and their healthcare professionals.”

Hall is known for the quote “My mother said it was simple to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I said I’d hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit.” She still seems to be working that angle in both her personal and professional life, to mixed results.
