Lydia Hearst is out at Page Six. The lingerie model is out as a columnist amidst all sorts of charges and counter charges about her column. Only in New York. Let’s look at Lydia in another way and go back just a bit to when it was announced that she was the new face and body for Myla’s vintage-inspired fall and winter collection.
Bitten and Bound writes, “Looking every bit the 40’s pinup girl, one has to wonder if boyfriend Matt Rains, a Black Hawk fighter pilot deployed to Iraq, keeps her pictures pinned to his barracks wall.”
Lydia Hearst is the heiress to the Hearst publishing fortune, and daughter of Patty Hearst and B & B notes that she “caused quite a stir on the season finale of Gossip Girls, and now she’s at it again as the model for a steamy new ad campaign for Myla lingerie.”
“I’m pretty comfortable posing in my underwear. You may have seen my new campaign for British lingerie company Myla, which has spawned a bit of mudslinging on the Internet about how I’m Paris Hilton. (Remember: I am a supermodel and have the award to prove it, and she is a celebrity. There’s no comparison.” Indeed.

Elle Macpherson’s new boyfriend is a convicted cocaine smuggler.
The 44-year-old supermodel began dating British-born Brian Burgess, 56, after his removals firm Aussie Man and Van helped her move house earlier this year.
It has been revealed Burgess spent four years in an Australian jail after he was convicted of attempting to smuggle 2kg of cocaine into the country from America in 1996.
Aussie Man and Van manager John Hess confirmed Burgess’ drug conviction, but insists he has now put the episode behind him.
Hess said: “That’s all in the past. This guy spends most of his time counselling people with drug and alcohol addictions.”
Burgess was deported back to England after he had served his sentence, leaving behind his wife Jennifer and their three young children.
Speaking at the time, Jennifer said: “He was always a good dad. Unfortunately he lost the plot for a long time.”
Burgess emigrated to Australia aged 17 and quickly found work as an airline sales manager.
However, his life spiralled out of control when he lost his job. He started drinking alcohol heavily, using cocaine and developed eating disorder bulimia.
He eventually lost his ?600,000 home and racked up drug debts of almost ?20,000.
During his trial, Burgess told the court he had been a regular cocaine user in the seven months prior to his arrest.

Kate Moss could be starring in the next Oliver Stone movie – after the American filmmaker spent the weekend trying to hook up with the British supermodel.
Stone is in London promoting his new movie, W, which stars Josh Brolin as George W. Bush.
And the 62-year-old “spent the entire evening on his phone attempting to get Kate to come along and join up with them,” a source told British newspaper The London Paper.
“He’s in his 60s but Oliver certainly has stamina, starting off at The Dorchester, and then going to Paper with Cameron and ending up at Bungalow 8.
“Oliver kept texting Kate and leaving her messages trying to persuade her to meet up.
“His pleas were starting to become a bit desperate and he was obviously having no luck.”
