Come on VOGUE! Apparently being the child of Madonna means you grow up around a lot of really interesting characters who can either teach you how to Zoolander or body board with the best of them. Oh and nannies with nice fannies are a bonus. Rocco hung out with mom’s boytoy Brahim and a friend at the hotel pool in Sao Paulo while his sister Mercy and brother David Banda had a blast body boarding at Ipanema Beach with a nanny and security guard.

Hey, despite his shoutouts to the Olsen twins, Kanye’s not exactly a maverick in this department. It’s not the 1950′s anymore and 2011 saw a whole lot of love across the races, so with the end drawing near, lets have a look at some of the hottest swirl hookups from the last 365 days.
Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher’s divorce has been a surprise to some, but an inevitable outcome to others. When the two married 6 years ago, all anybody could talk about was their 16-year age difference, but after chronicling their coupledom on Twitter for all their fans to see with cutesy messages back and forth, we all ate our words, assuming that they were solid. However, when rumors of Ashton’s infidelity hit the net in October, it was clear that everything that glittered on the red carpet wasn’t gold. Sure enough, less than month after the reports surfaced, Demi decided to file for divorce this week. Could their age difference have had something to do with it, too? Here are 5 other “cougar” relationships that have failed! Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry (10-year age difference) The Oscar-wining actress and French-Canadian model met in November 2005 while shooting an ad for Versace and were inseparable from then on, even welcoming a daughter, Nahla, in March 2008. However, just two years later in April 2010, the couple split and have been engaged in a nasty custody battle ever since. Vivica A. Fox & Omar “Slimm” White (20-year age difference) The actress and her club promoter boyfriend dated for over year before he proposed to her with an 8-carat diamond ring the day after Christmas 2010. She bragged about their love on camera, but less than a year after their happy announcement, Slimm confirmed their split, blaming “negativity.” Madonna & Jesus Luz (28-year age difference) The iconic artist and Brazilian model caught each others’ eyes while shooting a spread for W magazine in December 2008 – the same year she split from her (10-years-younger) husband Guy Ritchie. They traveled the world together and were photographed showing passionate PDA everywhere from Italy to Brazil to London. But in February 2010, Luz reportedly dumped Madge; though she wasted no time scooping up another boytoy later that year, French dancer Brahim Zaibat – also 28 years her junior. Tameka Foster & Usher (7-year age difference) The singer and his stylist got hitched in August 2007, much to the chagrin of his loyal (and mostly female) fans. Just 3 months later, their son Usher Raymond V (aka “Cinco”) was born and in December 2008, their second son Naviyd arrived. But the kids couldn’t keep them together; in June 2009, Usher filed for divorce from Foster after claiming they lived separately for nearly a year. Following the announcement, Tameka made sure to stay in headlines through magazine interviews and Twitter rants. Eva Longoria & Tony Parker (7-year age difference) The actress and French basketball player met in the San Antonio Spurs locker room in 2003 and tied the knot on the (not so) lucky date of 7/7/2007. Just three years later, in November 2010, the couple announced their divorce following Tony Parker’s sexting scandal with a teammate’s wife. Eva quickly rebounded, however, with actress Penelope Cruz’s brother Eduardo – 10 years younger – and is now rumored to be dating another NBA baller, Matt Barnes , the ex-fiance of “Basketball Wives” cast mate Gloria Govan. 9 Shortest Celebrity Marriages Of All Time Mariah Carey Slams Kim Kardashian’s Marriage

Bristol Palin says that despite the terrible decision she made when she gave it up to Levi Johnston while drunk in a tent, it was consensual all the way. The topic came up on Good Morning America , with Bristol standing by the statement she makes in her book … that Levi “stole” her virginity. The eldest daughter of Sarah Palin gave it up when she was just 15. She says she used the word “stolen” because “that’s what it felt like.” The book, entitled Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far , describes the big night. Bristol, after getting plowed on wine coolers , got … y’know. “I’m not accusing Levi of date rape, or rape at all,” Bristol clarified. “But I am just looking back on this with the adult eyes I have now.” Now, she says, she’s thinking “that was a foolish decision.” Ditto the rest of the times they slept together. While they said they wouldn’t do it again until they got married, the boning continued and son Tripp was spawned, after which Bristol hilariously became an abstinence advocate. [Photo: Fame Pictures]
On Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last Sunday, Vicki Gunvalson fired back against charges that she’s in love with a man who neglects his kids. Asked about Brook Ayers – the man this Real Housewife of Orange County has been allegedly dating before she even split with husband Donn and who was arrested twice in 2010 for not paying child support – Vicki said the media “doesn’t tell the whole truth.” “I knew everything. There wasn’t any secrets and lies,” Gunvalson told host Andy Cohen of reports she was duped by her boyfriend. Vicki even penned a letter to the judge after one of Ayers’ arrests, asking her man get released from custody. Is that because she is in love with Brook, Cohen asked? “Yes, Vicki replied, who must have been lying when she said she felt guilty talking about her divorce and her relationships on the show.
