Hot new couple alert: Full speed ahead for Lewis Hamilton and Gigi Hadid
Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton found the perfect way to celebrate landing a new £100million contract with Mercedes – by partying with top model Gigi Hadid.
The Pirelli model clearly had Lewis’s full attention at the Cinema Against AIDS gala for amfAR at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Thursday by wearing an almost-there Tom Ford creation.
The budding romance between the pair soon became the talk of Cannes.

Hot new couple alert: Gigi Hadid and Lewis Hamilton have been on 'a couple of dates' a source has said
Budding romance: Gigi clearly had Lewis’s full attention at the Cinema Against AIDS gala for amfAR at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Thursday
As one source told me: ‘They’ve been on a couple of dates. It’s on!’ And I’m sure Gigi will be cheering Lewis on in today’s Monaco Grand Prix – which he is starting in pole position.
Gigi is just 20, so this liaison may tug hard at the heartstrings of Lewis’s former girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, 36 – the pop star reportedly broke up with the racer because he wouldn’t settle down.
Language barrier: Cheryl struggles with her French
Zut alors – Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is getting herself in a muddle.
Since meeting her French husband Jean Bernard at Cannes last year, she has revealed how she is learning his language.
But even the basics seem to be causing her trouble – on a Twitter video Cheryl, says ‘Ciao’ to greet wellwishers as she walks along the red carpet at Woody Allen’s film Irrational Man.
Never mind, Cheryl… you’ll be OK at the Venice Film Festival
You won’t spot handsome Antonio Banderas flashing the cash in the boutiques of Cannes.
I had a glass of bubbly with the Zorro star – who faces a £30 million bill after splitting from wife Melanie Griffith – at the AmfAR party, where he quipped: ‘I can’t afford anything. I’m going through a tough divorce.’
As if Idris Elba didn’t give us girls enough reasons to swoon, he’s now training as a singer.
I hear that Idris, 42, is about to record some Gershwin with conductor and producer Fabio D’Andrea.
‘He will lay down his contributions in the next few weeks,’ Fabio told me.
‘He wants young people to be more interested in classical music.’
