What A Shame

PETRA Nemcova is finally going to talk about her tsunami horror. ABC's Diane Sawyer flew into Prague Friday morning to interview the Sports Illustrated supermodel, who lost her love, Simon Atlee, in the disaster. "Petra wanted to tell her story," said a pal. "She will eventually go back into modeling, it is what she does." Meanwhile, Nemcova is also entertaining seven-figure offers from both Simon & Schuster and Judith Regan to tell her tale of survival in a book.


---Glad Petra is "finally" going to talk. Guess she needed some money since she isn't working at the moment. Why don't the book publishers offer up some money to the people who actually LIVE where the tsunami happened, instead of some stupid model who just happened to be vacationing over there? I hate stuff like this.... the model is making money off the tragedy and the networks are looking to exploit it and then the book people.... it just never ends. Yuck.

whatever. You can be sure that the book is going to be filled with info about how to donate. At the worst, it'll contain no donation instructions but will at least keep the tsunami victims on people's minds, which will garner several more donations.

Why doesn't the book company offer money to someone who lives there to write a book? Mainly because it won't sell. You need some celebrity factor involved if you want people interested in the book. Find someone over there who is a US-known celeb and then maybe you could have a successful book by a native.
