Anyone care to explain this to me?

I did not know who they are, so I ran a few searches. What stunned me is that she is called "stunning". She has a standard model's body (elongated everything) and reasonably attractive facial features which look much better with less makeup than with a lot of makeup, and with a lot of makeup her face looks ridiculous.
This is not a propos of your query, though. It was just weird to me - it seems that because she is dating a celebrity, the press would feel obligated to call her stunning, even though she is somewhat above average tops, in terms of her looks.
But then maybe this IS a propos of what you asked. Maybe it goes like this: if a celeb is dating a model, she HAS to be called stunning no matter her actual appearance and he HAS to be called a douchebag, and some other things HAVE to be said. Just a protocol of sorts, maybe?
