LIVING Why men are coming to blows over this Victoria’s Secret model
Sometimes, it seems Shanina Shaik’s life is straight out of “Zoolander.”
Take the over-the-top scene two months ago when male model Tyson Beckford hopped on his Ducati and chased celebrity spinner DJ Ruckus from the Meatpacking District nightclub Up&Down, starting a heated on-the-street confrontation — all over Shaik.
The Victoria’s Secret model, 25, had dated Beckford on and off from 2008 until last year, but perhaps he wasn’t quite ready to admit defeat to Ruckus, who proposed to Shaik in December. The stunner says she was blissfully unaware of the hostility until it was about tomake its way into Page Six, as she was working in London at the time.
“I didn’t know anything was going on. Then I got a call from my fiancé . . . idays prior to him notifying me,” Shaik tells The Post. “He didn’t want to get me off-track [from work]. Yeah, it was a very weird situation.”
So who is this feud-fueling beauty?
A self-proclaimed “shy” girl, Shaik was born in Melbourne, Australia, and got her big break at the age of 17, when she was a runner-up on the 2005 Aussie reality show “Make Me a Supermodel.” A year later, she was strutting runways in New York. Looking at the exotic model, whose father is of Pakistani and Saudi Arabian descent, you’d never guess that her mother is a prison guard.
“It’s pretty much ‘Orange Is the New Black.’ I’m obsessed with the show. My mom watched some and said, ‘I don’t want to watch it any more. It reminds me of work,’ ” she says with a laugh.
It also reminds Shaik of work, but in a good way. Next year, she’ll make her big-screen debut in “The Mummy” with Tom Cruise.
“I didn’t think I had the confidence for acting,” says Shaik, who previously turned Speaking of Cooper — no, she is not related to the actor’s hot model girlfriend, Irina Shayk.
“People always think we’re sisters. We have a similar complexion and have so much in common it’s weird,” Shaik says. “I take it as a compliment.”
Her own high-profile romance with Ruckus — born Gregory Andrews — started at the Coachella music festival, where they met in April of last year. The pair have a long-distance relationship: He lives in Los Angeles and she lives in Midtown West with her French bulldog, Choppa. And even though she’s dating a DJ known for celeb-studded gigs at Marquee and Hakkasan in Las Vegas, Shaik is no social butterfly.
“I’m a little bit shy, so people might judge me, saying I’m snobby,” she says. “Some of my girlfriends are very out there [and friendly]. I wish I could be that way, and socialize a bit more.”
In between launching her acting career and globe-trotting for modeling gigs and romance, Shaik is busy planning the couple’s beach wedding.
“It was love at first sight. Eight months later, he proposed to me in the Bahamas,” Shaik says.
Ruckus proposed to her on a private beach owned by his cousin, singer Lenny Kravitz. The DJ’s family friend Denzel Washington brought the rings from LA to ensure they arrived on time, because FedEx doesn’t deliver on Christmas.
“When he proposed, there were two rings for me to choose from. It was really beautiful,” says Shaik, batting her insanely long eyelashes.
In June, a month after the original fight, Ruckus challenged Shaik’s former beau Beckford to a rematch — “in a controlled environment, away from police [and] cameras.” But Shaik is ready to move on.
“At the end of the day, I always wish my ex the very best,” she says. “And I hope he does find happiness the same way my fiancé and I did.”

The Rock's feud with Vin Diesel is still ongoing as it causes conflict amongst cast and crew members of Fast 8
The supposed overdue feud between both actors is reportedly causing conflict amongst cast and crew members of the movie.
Some of the crew members are said to have sided with The Rock after he spoke out against Vin, as Vin's antics have upset a number of people who work on the set of the action franchise.
Production sources told TMZ The Rock had been upset with Vin's work ethic for "a long time", with the actor frequently 30- 60 minutes late to shoot scenes, and it wasn't because he was late to the set, he was simply in his trailer and wouldn't come out until he was ready to.
It was also claimed the start time on Mondays was shifted to 10am to accommodate Vin as he didn't like to start the week with a 7am call.
The crew felt Vin's arrogance was out of control, especially because he had a producer title, he wouldn't listen to anyone and would goad people, including The Rock, by criticizing their acting.
In contrast, the same insider praised The Rock as the "ultimate professional", who was always on time, easy to work with, and always nailed his scenes.
Vin and Rock have been clashing for a long time and it became more serious when The Rock made a post on Instagram in which he called Vin a 'Candy A**' man, Vin confronted Rock in his trailer, but their issues still remains unresolved.

The Ultimate List Of 40 High-Protein Foood
Pump up your protein intake, aisle by aisle, at the supermarket with Bodybuilding.com's top 40 ultimate protein picks!
Let us count the reasons we're obsessed with protein. For one, you need enough of this benevolent macronutrient to build and repair muscle. It also plays a role in revving fat-burning metabolism and reducing the hunger pangs that can lead to an attack on the vending machine. Additionally, protein works to slow the release of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, which can prevent the sudden spikes in blood sugar that are thought to encourage fat storage and sagging energy levels.
Physique-minded individuals should seek out at least 1 g of protein for each pound of body weight to maintain and build muscle. To reach this lofty amount, however, you'll need to make sure your grocery cart is filled with a variety of high-protein fare. Unfortunately, today's supermarkets are flooded with processed foods that can quickly threaten your fitness gains.
That's why we thought it was about time to roll our editorial cart through the major supermarket sections to help you find the biggest protein wallop for your buck. That way you can load your trunk with the necessary building blocks for a body more chiselled than a Roman sculpture.
Check out our top 40 items to put on your protein-friendly grocery list!
High-Protein Dairy
1. Greek Yogurt
Protein Power: 23 g per 8 oz. serving
Made by straining away the liquid, deliciously thick Greek-style yogurts contain about twice as much protein as regular versions. You'll also reap the rewards of gut-friendly probiotic bacteria and bone-building calcium.
Need to Know: Plain Greek yogurt can contain up to three times less sugar than flavored types.
2. Cottage Cheese
Protein Power: 14 g per 1/2 cup serving
This curd-riddled cheese product is laced with casein protein—a slow-digesting protein that supplies your growing muscles with a steady supply of vital amino acids. Think of it as the MVP of snack time, especially before bedtime.
Need to Know: Cottage cheese is notoriously high in sodium, but you can now compare nutrition labels to find brands that contain less.
3. Swiss Cheese
Protein Power: 8 g per 1 oz. serving
Ounce for ounce, Swiss cheese provides more protein than other commonly available varieties in the supermarket, making it a muscle-friendly option for your sandwiches and burgers.
Need to Know: If you're concerned about the calorie density of full-fat Swiss, low-fat versions have a protein-to-fat ratio of around 8-to-1, while still providing good flavor.
4. Eggs
Protein Power: 6 g per 1 large egg
These white orbs are near-perfect muscle food. That's because the biological value—a measure of how much protein from the food can be incorporated into proteins in the body—of an egg is higher than that of nearly any other item in the grocery store. The biological value is largely dictated by the amount of essential amino acids a food possesses, and the humble egg has these in spades.
Need to Know: Keep an eye out for cartons containing eggs with beefed-up omega-3 levels to make your morning scramble work even harder for you.
5. Milk, 2%
Protein Power: 8 g per 1 cup serving
Moo juice remains a reliable source of top-notch protein with a biological value just shy of that found in an egg. But why try to chug watery, flavorless skim milk when you can still enjoy the richer taste of 2 percent without breaking the fat bank. Besides, the extra fat will help you absorb the fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin D present in the great white.
Need to Know: Studies show that cows raised using organic farming methods produce milk richer in a range of nutrients, including body-friendly omega fats.
6. Whey Protein
Protein Power: 24 g per scoop, on average
Whey protein is one of the cleanest, fastest-digesting proteins on the market. It’s the pefect addition to any fat-loss or muscle-building diet. Whey protein is low-calorie, fast-digesting, and perfect to take immediately after a workout, first thing in the morning, or even alongside low-protein meals!
Need to Know: Whey protein is extremely anabolic, or good for building muscle, because it’s a particularly rich source of branched chain amino acids, or BCAAs.
High-Protein Meat
7. Steak (Top Or Bottom Round)
Protein Power: 23 g per 3 oz. serving
These leaner cuts of steak provide a fantastic 1 g of protein for every 7 calories; rib eye, on the other hand, delivers roughly 1 g of protein for every 11 calories. Plus, round steak is considered one of the more economical cuts.
Need to Know: Leaner cuts of steak like round and loin will become drier than the Sahara with overcooking, so prepare them quickly over high heat to just medium-rare.
8. Ground Beef (95% Lean)
Protein Power: 18 g per 3 oz. serving
Using 90 percent ground beef provides just the right amount of fat so your burgers and meatloaf won't taste like cardboard. Beyond a payload of protein, this red meat is also a good source of the almighty creatine.
Need to Know: If you've got some extra cash in your wallet, opt for grass-fed beef, which is more nutrient-dense than its factory-farm counterparts.
9. Pork Chops (Boneless)
Protein Power: 26 g per 3 oz. serving
The bounty of muscle-sculpting protein in easy-to-prepare pork chops gives you more than enough of an excuse to pig out on them.
Need to Know: By helping to break down muscle tissue, soaking your chops in brine can bring more tender meat to the dinner table. Simply cover the pork chops in a brine made with 1/4 cup salt for each 4 cups of water (use enough liquid so that the meat is completely submerged). Cover and chill for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
10. Chicken Breast (Boneless And Skinless)
Protein Power: 24 g per 3 oz. serving
This bodybuilding staple delivers more protein than other poultry cuts, which is why it should remain a constant presence in your shopping cart.
Need to Know: To keep more greenbacks in your wallet, get chummy with the meat guy at your supermarket, who can give you a heads-up when the poultry is likely to be marked down for quick sale
