Bar: Don’t play cool with me

Model Bar Refaeli says she’s sick of being hit on by her countrymen who pretend they don’t know who she is.

The Israeli beauty, who’s the No. 1-ranked girl on this year’s Maxim magazine “Hot 100” list, told us she is tired of men at home who try to chat her up, pretending to play it cool and approach by saying, “I’m so-and-so, what’s your name?” She said, “It’s where I come from. I don’t expect everyone to know me everywhere else — but in Israel, when a guy talks to me, it’s like, you just blew it, my friend. Just be honest,” she says of men.

Refaeli, who has dated “Baywatch” actor David Charvet, “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford and, most notably, modelizer and “Great Gatsby” lead Leonardo DiCaprio, whom she was with for four years, is currently single.

After telling Conan O’Brien earlier this week, “No one hits on me. No one flirts with me. It’s very sad, actually,” Refaeli told us during the Maxim Hot 100 party at the Dream Downtown that the ideal approach “has to be with a sense of humor. If a guy could make me laugh, it would get my attention.” She said, “A combination of being really natural and confident in your own skin and smart” is what makes someone hot — “That combination to me is sexy.”

During Thursday’s Ruffles co-hosted party, Refaeli sat with friends including Olympic champion snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White, One Management’s Scott Lipps and nightlife impresario Nur Khan. Nearby, male and female revelers posed in front of a large photo of Refaeli half-naked in bed — and her friends photographed them ogling the picture.

Jenni “JWoww” Farley was spotted dancing in a cleavage-baring top, while musician David Banner, basketball wife La La Anthony, and celebrity chef Todd English were also at the bash celebrating 2012’s hottest.

Others on the mag’s list include Pippa Middleton, rapper Nicki Minaj, and George Clooney’s girlfriend, Stacy Keibler.
