Today's Blind Items - Kindness

#1 - This A+ list aging, but still gorgeous supermodel has donated every penny she has made in the past 20 years to charity. It amounts to nearly $10M.

#2 - This model is A+ list and surprisingly young for the amount of time she has been in the public eye. A great name and a great giver. She paid for an apartment building and had it remodeled and converted it into a shelter for battered women which can house 20 women and their kids.

#3 - This almost A list foreign born male singer from a very famous family has spent almost $1M in the past year financing a job training center where teenagers who have been forced to work the streets as hookers or been homeless can learn skills to get them jobs and a way out.

  1. #1 makes no sense. What kind of A-list supermodel only makes $10m over 20 years?

  11. I was thinking Iman for #1 since she is married to David Bowe and doesn't need the extra money.

  16. I thought Christie Brinkley for #1 (because of her endorsement for that home gym thingy with Walker Texas Ranger), but could it be Kathy Ireland with the $ coming from her home furnishings line? She makes a TON from that

    I thought Enrique for number 3 as well

    And yea for kindness blinds. Definitely needed that today

    ReplyDelete
  17. Although it doesn't seem like Christie Brinkley needs needs the money either, I actually love the Iman guess better

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yeah for kindness blinds!

    I was thinking Christie Brinkley for #1.

    ReplyDelete
  19. #1 Iman
    #2 Gisele
    #3 Enrique

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think it is Iman for #1. Is she not involved in alot of African charities of various kinds? And being married to Bowie would allow her freedom to give as much money as she wants.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh lordy, I badly needed a kindness blind today. I love them.

    I thought Iman for #1 and Enrique Iglesias for #3, but don't have a darn clue for #2.

    Yay for these people! =)

    ReplyDelete
  22. No way #1 is Kathy Ireland. She has gone from millionairess to BILLIONaire in the last 10 years because of her furnishings lines.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Jessica - you're right! I change my #1 guess to Lauren Hutton. Good guess CDAN Luvah

    ReplyDelete
  24. My first thought for #1 was also Iman.
    #2 Christy Turlington
    #3 Iglesias

    @Hollywood Dime..Why did you think Seal? Does he come from a famous family though? Just curious if you had some inside scoop.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'd say #1 *is* Christie Brinkley. According to her wiki, all she does pretty much is charity work.

    Awards and achievements

  26. #1 would have to be someone married or with a partner that makes a good living to support them if she is giving a penny away.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Iman makes sense for #1. She married Bowie 21 years ago, and she'd already aged out of most modelling by then. She started her cosmetics line in 1994, and she could well donate the net profits from that to charity.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love kindness blinds!

    I agree with Iman, Gisele and Enrique.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nice BI! I think the first is Christie Brinkley, Iman has a makeup line I believe so I think she would make more than 10 million.

    Number 2, can it be Petra Nemcova?

    Enrique Iglesias is a good guess for the last one.

  30. @sherry, I thought seal because i confused him with dijmon honsou, who was homeless when he was discovered, not a singer and seal isn't from a famous family...I'm an idiot who hasn't had her coffee as i recover from surgery. ignore me lol

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hey - thank you for this post. I have no idea but I do know that I needed this today.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think it's Yolanda Foster.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Isabella rosselini for #1?

    ReplyDelete
  34. My first thought for #1 is Iman.

    I think #2 is Adriana Lima. Definitely A-list material and according to Wiki, is very charitable:

    Charity

    Lima does charitable work helping with an orphanage, "Caminhos da Luz" (Ways of Light), located in Salvador. She helps with construction to expand the orphanage, and buys clothes for poor children in Salvador, Bahia.[85] She appeared on Var mısın? Yok musun?, the Turkish version of Deal or No Deal, where her prize money went to a hospital in Istanbul for children fighting leukemia.

  36. #2 - I'm totally on board with the Christy Turlington guess. She seems like such a caring soul. The only think Gisele cares about is herself and her babies.

    ReplyDelete
  37. These need to be revealed!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I want these revealed, but I also freakin' love that there are people in this world who do charity for charity's sake, not to bring glory to themselves. Yay yay yay! I love these!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I distinctly recall now that Christy Turlington has mentioned domestic violence as an issue close to her heart. Pre-internet print interviews.

    I'll go for CT-B for #2.

    ReplyDelete
  40. #1 Iman
    #2 Eva Herzigová (her name means 'to give')
    #3 I dunno. Iglesias?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Again what does it mean to be an A+ model? Does it mean high fashion or that Victoria's Secret crap?

    I'll go with Gisele for #2 because of the "surprisingly young for the amount of time she has been in the public eye" part. I know she donates a lot for environmental causes so maybe this is her as well.

    #3 could be Enrique.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think #1 is Iman. It makes sense that she's 'only' made $10M over the last 20 years, as she doesn't work all that often, she's certainly permanently A+, and being married to David Bowie means you wouldn't miss it! :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. My answer for every one of these is Janice Dickenson.
    Explains why she is broke ass and looks like a man these days.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Iman makes sense. It's just over 20 years that she has been married to Bowie.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Kindness blinds are the BEST blinds. THANK YOU.

    ReplyDelete
  46. These are the best kind of blinds!

    ReplyDelete
  47. #3 sounds like something Ricky Martin would do, but I don't think he comes from a famous family, does he? In that case, I agree with Enrique. Whoever these people are, thank god for them.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Iman and Lauren Hutton both have product lines: Iman with makeup and fashion accessories; Hutton with makeup. They both hawk stuff on HSN.

    My guess would be Hutton because on her shows she talks about going to the Rainforest and places like that, really getting into the place.

    (I'm not sure if Hutton still sells makeup, it's been 2 years since I watched HSN. Iman still has her stuff, though.)

  54. I'm going to agree with the guess of Christy Turlington for #1. She's very active in women's issues and after she married Ed Burns has been devoting more time to parenting their kids than working, in the past 10 years, as far as I can tell. I think she's wonderful!
