Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova was unveiled as the new spokesperson for German mail order house Otto at the company’s HQ in Hamburg, Germany earlier today.
Not more than a week ago, Nemcova, 29, had donated more than 150 computers – along with other educational equipment – to The Andrew H. Wilson Charter Elementary School in New Orleans.
“While the Happy Hearts Fund has provided children and schools in disaster-stricken, underprivileged communities with computers around the globe, the Andrew H. Wilson Charter School is the first recipient in New Orleans, and in the U.S.,” said Nemcova. “It’s evident that after disaster strikes, once the cameras disappear, so does much of the help. Each and every one of these students is a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, and we hope that by supporting them, not only will their lives and educational opportunities improve, but also those of future Wilson School students.”
The sizzling hottie posed for photographers generously at the event. Some pics from the event along with other modeling images of Petra here:

The ad featuring Hollywood actor Josh Hartnett for Giorgio Armani Diamonds for Men is out.
Hartnett was signed last month as the face of Armani’s new fragrance Diamonds for men. The scent was unveiled last week at the Spring Summer 2009 Men’s Fashion Week in Milan and will be on sale worldwide starting in August.
“The Emporio Armani generation is inspired by film and music,” Armani told WWD. “I felt that for the men’s Diamonds fragrance it would therefore be appropriate to involve one of today’s most inspiring young actors.
Diamonds for Men was created for urban, young men, Jacques Cavallier of Firmenich. It contains gourmet-woody aromatic juicy, with sparkling, sweet aromas of bergamot, with Guaiac, cocoa and ambroxan.
The square-shaped bottle like a cut diamond was designed by Giorgio Armani himself.

R&B singer Ciara is serious–she’s now a professional model with modeling agency Wilhemia while also planning a signature fashion line with Steve & Barry’s.
In a bid to diversify her appeal as well as advance her career, the ‘Promise’ singer will likely be posing for clothing and perfumes and design her own fashion apparel via Steve & Barry’s.
“Modeling has always been one of my aspirations,” says Ciara. “But I was insecure about my height. I thought I was 5 foot 7 inches but I just found out that I’m 5 foot 8 inches so I’m really excited about that.” Ciara is currently engaged in print campaigns for Jay Z’s Rocawear line.
The “1, 2 Step” singer has also unveiled plans to launch her own fashion line in the footsteps of actress Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bitten range.
“I have a couple of cool things that I’m working on,” she said about her fashion line. “The coolest thing about Steve & Barry’s is they cater to everyday people. I won’t say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable.”
Ciara, 22, whose “Fantasy Ride” breaks this September, is also appearing in the film “Mama I Want To Sing,” co-starring Lynn Whitfield and Patti LaBelle, due for a release this year.

The celebrity circuit is rife with highly plausible rumors that Kevin Federline will be the new face of Los Angeles-based Christopher Brian denim collection.
Britney Spears’ rapper-model-TV star-professional wrestler ex-husband Kevin Federline, 30, has apparently been offered a seven-figure deal to promote the Chris Brian line by music producer Chris Stokes.
“We feel Kevin would be a great model for the line,” the brand co-owner told the In Touch magazine.
Yeah, right. Then again, isn’t he actually a ‘great model’ for a lot of other things as well? Who won the model ‘Father of the Year’ lately? Huh?

US actress Mamie Gummer is replacing French singer and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg as the face of French fashion brand Gérard Darel.
Mary Willa “Mamie” Gummer, the 24-year-old daughter of Academy Award-winning Meryl Streep and sculptor Don Gummer, has completed her first campaign, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in New York. Darel’s collections, including bags and accessories, are apparently patronized by Eva Longoria and Jessica Alba.
Gummer has two movies due out this year — ‘All Saints Day’ and ‘The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond’, as well as the HBO miniseries ‘John Adams’ which details the life of the second President of the United States.
