A-Rod’s replacement, Jesus Luz, loves being Madonna’s newest flavor. The 21 year old male model reportedly met Madonna when her Sticky & Sweet tour swung through his native Brazil, and ever since, he’s used her name to book modeling gigs.

Brazilian spies told Glamurama.com.br, “All the modeling agencies came after him, but he chose Ford Models because [photographer and Madonna pal] Steven Klein had a talk with Katie Ford and convinced her that Jesus is, in fact, holy material.”

Sergio Mattos, the owner of 40 Graus Models and Luz’s former agent, says that after meeting Madonna, Jesus simply disappeared: “He stopped answering his phone, his mother quit her job . . . But I wish him the best. And now I have a new Jesus,” Mattos, who just signed a contract with Spanish model Jesus Perez, told the Web site. “This is a much better Jesus, and he’s not a fan of Madonna’s.”

Luz might be overestimating the value of his association with Madonna. “He was asking for some $135,000 a show. He did the same job last year for a mere $225,” said a Brazilian source. “A lot of people are contacting him but because he keeps raising his rates, they are changing their minds.”

Luz starred with Madonna in the above photoshoot for W Magazine. Despite his naysayers, we should probably expect to see quite a bit more of him in the near future.
