Madonna: Jesus Cashes In
After being spotted with Madonna in his home country of Brazil, has male model Jesus Luz let his chumminess with the Material Girl go to his head?
According to online reports, that's true. "All the modeling agencies came after him, but he chose Ford Models because [Madge pal and shutterbug] Steven Klein had a talk with Katie Ford and convinced her that Jesus is, in fact, holy material," a source revealed to Galurama.com.br, as reported by the NY Post.
The 21-year-old is also allegedly demanding higher wages due to his association with the queen of pop. "He was asking for some $135,000 a show. He did the same job last year for a mere $225," dished a Brazilian source. "A lot of people are contacting him, but because he keeps raising his rates, they are changing their minds."
Luz will supposedly fly to London tomorrow to party with Madonna in celebration of his 22nd birthday.
