funkyflamingo Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Simmons on gem of a tripRussell Simmons and Petra Nemcova (not pictured) are jetting off to Africa, where they plan to tour diamond mines.Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons is heading to Africa on a fact-finding mission. Besides informing his bling-wearing buddies about the plight of diamond workers, the trip might just bring Simmons closer to his new best friend, supermodel Petra Nemcova.Simmons and Nemcova are due to depart later this month for South Africa and Botswana, where they plan to tour diamond mines and factories."I'm making a lot of money by selling diamonds," says Simmons, who works with De Beers on his line of jewelry. "I want to give my money back to the people in Africa. We're starting the Diamond Empowerment Fund to teach Africans how to cut and polish diamonds on the continent, instead of taking the diamonds out. We want more of black Africans to become executives. The diamond industry should be the leader of African empowerment."Some veteran industry observers are skeptical about whether De Beers or other companies would trust their cutting to anyone but the pros in Belgium and Israel. But Simmons' trip is bound to help the image of the firms, which are currently on the defensive as they await next month's release of the Leo DiCaprio film "Blood Diamond," which shows how gems financed Sierra Leone's bloody civil war in the 1990s.Simmons believes that the industry has made strides since then in resisting "conflict diamonds," but "the business can always get better."v The fact that Simmons is bringing Nemcova is raising some eyebrows. The tsunami-surviving model says in December's Harper's Bazaar that she's "definitely, definitely in love" with singer James Blunt. But some suspect that she's also a jewel that Simmons would love to possess. And what better way to strengthen their bond than on a humanitarian mission?While Blunt won't be accompanying them, Simmons insists that they're "just friends," and a partner in various charity project. Nemcova's also the face of Fortunoff.Simmons hopes that "Americans will know that, when they buy a diamond, it doesn't make you an a Quote

rumorhasit Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Russell Simmons Lands In South Africa, Issues StatementBy Nolan StrongDate: 11/27/2006 12:21 pm Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons landed in South Africa today (Nov. 27) on a fact-finding mission to learn how the diamond industry can positively affect the lives of black Africans living amongst high poverty, HIV and lack of quality education.Simmons will visit Botswana and South Africa during the fact-finding mission to learn more about the diamond trade. Today, the 49-year-old mogul visited the Jwaneng diamond mine in Botswana."I am here because the most important and powerful Muslim preacher and the most important and powerful Jewish Rabbi I have met in my lifetime - The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and Rabbi Marc Schnier - both, individually, told me to come here," Simmons told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "I am sending this out because I sincerely believe that the more people I can mobilize to support this mission, the greater chance we Quote
rumorhasit Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Petra Nemcova & James Blunt: 'Very Much in Love'Ignore those rumblings that Petra Nemcova and "You're Beautiful" singer James Blunt are on the rocks. The model, 27, tells PEOPLE, "We're very much in love." Nemcova and Blunt, 32, who showed a united front when they hit L.A.'s Hyde Lounge together hand-in-hand last week, met in December 2005 and started dating early this year. Rumors circulated recently that they'd split Quote
rumorhasit Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 The most honest pitch of the week came from a press release about Supermodel, a one-sentence, 179-page "epic poem" loosely inspired by the story of tsunami survivor PETRA NEMCOVA. (Stop with the triple takes and frenetic eyeball rolling. You heard me.) "This book can be fairly daunting," admitted the release, "and in fact it may also tug on your last nerve." Enough said Quote
