Nemcova: "I've Not Profitted from Tsunami Injuries" Supermodel Petra Nemcova has hit out at reports she was paid $1.5 million by an American magazine to pose for pictures while laying injured in a Thai hospital. The Czech catwalk queen broke a pelvis and suffered internal injuries in the tsunami that struck south east Asia on December 26. Nemcova, who was last week flown home to hospital in the Czech capital Prague, was snapped by Us Weekly magazine while still in Thailand. But she insists she refused to be paid for the shots, instead asking the publicat ion to donate all money raised from the photos to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), who are helping children affected by the deadly wave. Nemcova is, meanwhile, recovering slowly and is still bedridden and unable to walk. The 25-year-old was holidaying with her photographer boyfriend Simon Atlee in the Thai resort of Phuket over Christmas. She survived by clinging onto a tree for hours after her cabin was destroyed and she was swept away by a wave, but 33-year-old Englishman Atlee is missing presumed dead. ^ that was on imdb right now and i read that somewhere too iris...i dont know what to believe...i hope not.
