Petra Nemcova goes to Haiti! November 18, 2007
Not for a modeling gig or print ad shoot, but for charity purposes. Ain't that super nice of Petra Nemcova? The gorgeous model went with Wyclef Jean, who is well-known for helping out his native land Haiti, an impoverished Caribbean island. The two celebrity philanthropists were there to work on a restaurant project being initiated by Wyclef's charity group Yele Haiti. The restaurant will be a boost to the local economy as it will employ fifteen women, and will give the townies a wholesome place to hang out. The singer also toured Petra Nemcova in his former play grounds, and the site of a computer lab that had been set up by his charity too. Says Wyclef, "If you want to change a country, unfortunately you're not going to be able to help eight million people at one time. But if you can get one or two or three and start to make that change, that will make the difference." Below is the picture of Petra Nemcova and Wyclef in the aforementioned computer lab spending time with the local kids.
Petra Nemcova attends Clinton Global Initiative October 2, 2007
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were all over the news when they attended the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. But do you know that they’re not the only celebrities there? Jessica Biel, Mary Louise Parker and the gorgeous Petra Nemcova also attended the same event in New York from September 26 to 28, albeit with lesser media coverage. Below is the photo (left) of the exquisite Petra Nemcova during her arrival in the opening night reception of the conference at the Museum of Modern Art.
In other Petra Nemcova news, the stunning model was last seen promoting a champagne. Not just any champagne, mind you, but a classy one that regular guys can’t afford. So sorry to mention that, lol! The said drink is the new gold bottle of champagne of Moet & Chandon, and of course, James Blunt’s ex-lover wore a sparkling gold and silver dress at the drink’s launch in Madrid. Here she is (right photo) looking glamorous while offering you a drink of the pricey gold champagne. Mmm good!
