Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid date amid an A-list network of past lovers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:19:51 GMT

There are many ways to think about the news that Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are reportedly getting “serious” in a relationship that suddenly blossomed about a month ago.For one thing, it shows that the 48-year-old Academy Award winner has a thing for supermodels. It also shows that the “Maestro” actor-director may see himself as a great artist, but his romantic choices are a bit cliche, in that he’s like a lot of powerful male stars who date significantly younger women.

Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.Protect the recallsystem from abuseDon’t believe a word from people asking for your signatures. They’re not paid to tell you the truth. They’re paid to get you to sign, by any means necessary.I’m frustrated because this is a corruption of our democracy. Gathering signatures should represent grassroots support and put a check on the powers that be. Instead, it’s being co-opted by those powers, which are paying to re-roll votes and legislation that don’t go their way. Though I am disgusted by how Gov. Newsom has let PG&E get away with murder, the recall campaign against him didn’t do any good and cost California taxpayers $200 million.I will be calling my California legislators. It’s past time they improved the recall system, to make it less exploitable. You can also contact your Alameda County supervisors and urge them to modernize our county’s recall procedures.Alan MarlingLivermoreTell CPUC noon new...
