Cindy Crawford recently described herself as looking ‘pretty good’ for her age, but that seems something of an understatement given her latest bikini shoot.

The age-defying mother-of-two proved she’s still worthy of her supermodel billing at the age of 43 after peeling down to a strappy two-piece in Los Angeles this week.

Cindy looked at completely at ease as she tossed her hair and worked her killer body in front of the camera.

She is believed to have been shooting a campaign for the Australian market, and called in her hairstylist Chris McMillan and photographer James White to make sure it was truly picture perfect.

Cindy told Allure magazine last month: ‘I think I look pretty good for 43, but I don’t look the way I did when I was 23.’

But she also assured women she is human after all by admitting she has cellulite: ‘I do, and I never said I didn’t. I’ve had two kids and I’m 43, so leave me alone!’

The star, ever the professional, managed to put aside her family’s personal drama for the photoshoot following a difficult few weeks.

Her husband Rande Gerber was accused of sexual harassment earlier this month.

Two former waitresses claim they were fired from a San Diego restaurant owned by Gerber’s company for rejecting the business mogul and manager’s advances.

Gerber has called the allegations a ‘blatant lie’ and actor George Clooney has also come to his defence.

One of the women alleges that Gerber tried to kiss her three times in one night and put his hand up her dress while she worked at the Hard Rock Hotel in 2008.
‘I was with Rande the entire night – as were a lot of people,’ Clooney said.

‘They will all say the same thing that I’m saying. This event never happened. Period.’

The women are suing for unspecified damages.

Cindy and Gerber have been married for 11 years and have two children Presley, 9, and Kaia, 7.

Rande Gerber, the business mogul husband of Cindy Crawford, is being sued for sexual harassment by two women who used to work for him.

A lawsuit was filed in March in San Diego County Superior Court, Usmagazine.com confirms, by a pair of former waitresses. According to TMZ.com, which first broke the news, the women claimed they were fired from a restaurant owned by Gerber’s company for refusing to give in to the advances of Gerber and other managers where they worked.

On one occasion in 2008, while working at the Moonstone Lounge in San Diego, one of the women claims the supermodel’s husband attempted to kiss her three times during the night, then “put his hand up [her] dress in between her legs in an attempt to fondle her crotch,” TMZ reports.

The women are reportedly suing for unspecified damages.

“These allegations were previously investigated and shown to be baseless,” a Gerber Group spokesperson told Us in a statement Friday. “This lawsuit has no merit.”

Gerber, 47, owns the Midnight Oil chain of bars and lounges. He and Crawford, who have been married for 11 years, have two children, Presley, 9, and Kaia, 7.

She may be 43 and a mother-of-two, but there was no hiding her figure under a sarong for this woman.

Cindy Crawford still has the same measurements as in her modelling heyday, 20 years ago.

And her body-confidence showed as she joined husband Rande Gerber in Mexico today.

The couple, who married in 1998, chatted and lazed around, before getting up to play a game of catch with a minature rugby ball.

Their children, Presley Walker and Kaia Jordan, were nowhere to be seen as the pair enjoyed some couple time.
Cindy, who showed off her flawless body in a plum-coloured halterneck bikini, appeared completely unselfconscious as she played in the sun.

She then pulled on a loose cotton shirt to protect her skin as she joined Randy for a walk.
In a recent interview the supermodel said she had no complaints about her body.

‘I think I look pretty good for 43, but I don’t look the way I did when I was 23,’ she said.

And she also admitted she has cellulite: ‘I do, and I never said I didn’t. I’ve had two kids and I’m 43, so leave me alone!’

IF the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego wants to drop celebrity bar owner Rande Gerber, it’ll cost them. Gerber sued for breach of contract after Tarsadia Hotels, which runs the Hard Rock, shuttered Gerber’s Sweetwater Saloon & Moonstone Lounge in the hotel over claims that the security staff physically abused club patrons. At a hearing the other day, the judge said Gerber is probably entitled to be paid. The judge also ordered Tarsadia to change the names of the bars. “This was a pretty significant victory for us,” lawyer Howard Weitzman, who reps Gerber, Cindy Crawford’s husband, tells Page Six. A rep for Tarsadia says, “Removing the existing names is the first step in a long journey towards eliminating the stench created by Gerber management in their treatment of patrons and employees of the bars, and in repairing the damage to the reputation of Hard Rock Hotel San Diego.”

CELEBRITY bar operator Rande Gerber, whose dozens of glamorous nightspots include the Whiskey Bar at the W in Times Square, is locked in a bitter dispute with two West Coast hotels.

Two of Gerber’s nightclubs at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, Sweetwater Saloon and Moonstone Lounge, have been shuttered by hotel management over claims that Gerber’s security staff routinely physically and verbally abused clubgoers.

According to a press release sent out by Tarsadia Hotels, which runs the Hard Rock chain, Tarsadia has videotapes showing “extremely brutal physical abuse by Gerber Group security staff against Sweetwater patrons, including choking, blows with fists, knees and objects, and in one case, a patron handcuffed during his beating.”

As a result, Tarsadia says it was “left with no alternative but to proceed with the termination of the agreement,” which was struck in December 2007.

A spokeswoman for Tarsadia tells Page Six, “We brought to the attention of the Gerber Group a variety of areas which we felt they were deficient in. We’ve since parted ways after they failed to address those concerns.”

But Gerber told the San Diego Union-Tribune the shutdown and subsequent lockout of his staff were the result of “months of coercion” to get his company to pay more than double the agreed-upon rent.

He now tells Page Six: “They tried to jack our rent up from $400,000 to $900,000 within two months of us moving in, and we refused. This is simply their attempt to capitalize on the highly successful business we’ve built. Fortunately, our attorneys have been contacted, and we’ll resolve this in court.”

Gerber also said that while San Diego cops had been called to the Hard Rock several times over the past few months, no arrests were made. None of his many other clubs in the W Hotel group and other Starwood properties are affected by the Hard Rock dispute.

It looks as though George Clooney’s London party last week to raise funds for the victims of war-torn Dafur was one not to be forgotten — or perhaps forgotten at least for some.

The star-studded soiree was saturated with A-list celebs including Eva Mendes, Matt Damon, Guy Ritchie, Scarlett Johansson, Bono and Claudia Schiffer. But according to insiders, it was host Clooney and his good friend Cindy Crawford that closed the party down well into the wee hours.

The 42-year-old former supermodel was snapped sneaking into her hotel around 4 a.m. Friday morning, looking particularly worse for wear. (photo above)

Hmmm, one can’t help but wonder how much money was spent on beverages when it could have gone to the cause at hand…

George Clooney and Cindy Crawford’s good looks can set pulses racing wherever they are.

So it’s not surprising that gorgeous George and his sexy supermodel friend holiday where all the beautiful people go.

Cindy and her husband Rande Gerber were entertaining their actor friend, who recently split up with former cocktail waitress Sarah Larson, aboard their yacht off the south of France.

The veteran cover girl looked sensational as ever as she took a dip in the Med near the shores of St Tropez.

She spent the day swimming, jet skiing and generally looking fantastic in her skimpy, black bikini.

But George, who had initially greeted Rande with a hug after jumping aboard, preferred to have a quiet read of a newspaper while soaking up the sun.
