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 makes no sense. What kind of A-list supermodel only makes $10m over 20 years?
ReplyDeleteShe donated 10 million over a 20 year period

DeleteIt makes sense that an aging model would be making that.
Delete#1 - Christie Brinkley?
ReplyDelete#2 - Gisele
#3 - I have no clue, but wish I did
Enrique Iglesias for 3?
ReplyDelete#3 Enrique Iglesias?
ReplyDeleteI think #1 is Christy Turlington.
ReplyDelete1. Cindy Crawford. Gives to charity for illness that killed her baby brother.
ReplyDeleteThis is nice to hear about.
ReplyDeleteChristie Brinkley LOL you have got to be kidding...
ReplyDelete3.Julio lglesias Jr.
not sure on 2
more of these, please Enty.
ReplyDeleteWell, God bless all three of them, whoever they are.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Iman for #1 since she is married to David Bowe and doesn't need the extra money.
ReplyDeleteThese are my favorites. How awesome they are...
ReplyDeletethanks Enty. these are wonderful. I have no guesses, but they made my day.
ReplyDelete#1 kathy ireland
ReplyDelete#1 Nikki Taylor
ReplyDelete#2 Coco Rocha
#3 ?
1. cindy crawford
ReplyDelete3. seal
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
ReplyDeleteI thought Enrique for number 3 as well
And yea for kindness blinds. Definitely needed that today
Although it doesn't seem like Christie Brinkley needs needs the money either, I actually love the Iman guess better
ReplyDelete#1 Lauren Hutton
ReplyDeleteYeah for kindness blinds!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Christie Brinkley for #1.
#1 Iman
ReplyDelete#2 Gisele
#3 Enrique
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.
ReplyDeleteOh lordy, I badly needed a kindness blind today. I love them.
ReplyDeleteI thought Iman for #1 and Enrique Iglesias for #3, but don't have a darn clue for #2.
Yay for these people! =)
No way #1 is Kathy Ireland. She has gone from millionairess to BILLIONaire in the last 10 years because of her furnishings lines.
ReplyDeleteJessica - you're right! I change my #1 guess to Lauren Hutton. Good guess CDAN Luvah
ReplyDeleteMy first thought for #1 was also Iman.
ReplyDelete#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.
I'd say #1 *is* Christie Brinkley. According to her wiki, all she does pretty much is charity work.

#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.
ReplyDeleteIman 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.
ReplyDeleteI love kindness blinds!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Iman, Gisele and Enrique.
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.
ReplyDeleteNumber 2, can it be Petra Nemcova?
Enrique Iglesias is a good guess for the last one.
@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
ReplyDeleteHey - thank you for this post. I have no idea but I do know that I needed this today.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Yolanda Foster.
ReplyDeleteIsabella rosselini for #1?
ReplyDeleteMy first thought for #1 is Iman.
ReplyDeleteI think #2 is Adriana Lima. Definitely A-list material and according to Wiki, is very charitable:
ReplyDeleteCharity
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.
#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.
ReplyDeleteThese need to be revealed!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks H'wd.
ReplyDeleteNo way, Gisele.
ReplyDeleteI distinctly recall now that Christy Turlington has mentioned domestic violence as an issue close to her heart. Pre-internet print interviews.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for CT-B for #2.
#1 Iman
ReplyDelete#2 Eva Herzigová (her name means 'to give')
#3 I dunno. Iglesias?
Again what does it mean to be an A+ model? Does it mean high fashion or that Victoria's Secret crap?
ReplyDeleteI'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.
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! :)
ReplyDeleteMy answer for every one of these is Janice Dickenson.
ReplyDeleteExplains why she is broke ass and looks like a man these days.
Iman makes sense. It's just over 20 years that she has been married to Bowie.
ReplyDeleteKindness blinds are the BEST blinds. THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteThese are the best kind of blinds!
ReplyDelete#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.
ReplyDeleteIman and Lauren Hutton both have product lines: Iman with makeup and fashion accessories; Hutton with makeup. They both hawk stuff on HSN.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.)
Nice to see a kindness blind (3x) been a while
ReplyDeleteLauren Hutton
ReplyDeleteGisele

#2 - Miss Tyra Banks

ReplyDelete1. Iman
ReplyDelete2. Mila Jovovich?
3. Enrique
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!

ReplyDeleteThe kindness blinds are always nice to read.
