    I looked at Chrissy’s genealogy and her paternal grandmother was an ethnic German. Ruth’s maiden surname is Schafer. She was the daughter of Richard John Schafer and Minnie Augusta Heller. Minnie was a German immigrant, from Flatow, Brandenburg.

    She looks like an ethnic version of Khloe Kardashian.

    BTW, I thought she was half black when I first saw her.

    I think Hans I. Teigen’ middle name may be patronymic.

  4. Manila says:

    Ida Helmin’s maiden surname is Dahl.

    She must have screwed a bunch of casting directors to get to where she is. She is hideous, the only thing she has going for her is her body and her height. Typical famewhore, John Legend is too good for her.
