Russell has case of the bends

Russell Simmons’ young gal pal is at his back and call.

The zen-loving hip-hop mogul’s much younger German model girlfriend, Hana Nitsche, performs a balancing act on his back yesterday as he does a yoga maneuver while on a Caribbean vacation in St. Barth in the French West Indies.

Simmons, 55, actually shows enviable form — despite his middle-aged girth — proving that while he appears to be all bent out of shape, he’s really in pretty good shape.

He flexes completely over at the waist, his chest against the sand, while sexy, 26-year-old Hana takes a stand.
