Greed is Good
Supermodel Petra Nemcova threw a fund raising event recently, benefiting her charity Happy Hearts Fund. The Happy Hearts Fund supports underprivileged children in Asian countries who have survived disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis. Nemcova herself is a survivor of a disaster, having been through the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. Beautiful AND philanthropic. Way to go, Petra! This concludes the “Bucket of Awesome” section of today’s entry.
In attendance at the fund raiser were Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones. Aw! you might be thinking. How nice of them to do a little something to support the kids! But I’m afraid that begins the Douche of the Week portion of our entry. Apparently Douglas and Zeta-Jones made a quick tour through the party, posed for a picture with the above-praised Nemcova, and left, all within five minutes and without making a donation.
What the F, Mike and Cathy? Didja have a mini-film festival earlier in the day featuring Wall Street and Chicago? Maybe a few minutes of Romancing the Stone thrown in for good measure? Get a little too caught up in the memories of playing those selfish, greedy characters?
According to Douglas’ rep, the couple didn’t know the event was a fund raiser. Really, Mike and Cathy? Despite the buckets of money people donated? The video screens advertising the charity? The fricking invitation? Perhaps you’d better have a word with your rep. Apparently he or she would rather you look stupid than greedy.
