Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Gets Political

Claudia Schiffer (pictured) helped advance the cause against breast cancer at a recent fund raiser. New York's perennial charity patrons assembled at the Hotel Pierre on March 3 to bestow a corporate leadership award on Revlon's Ron Perelman . When Claudia stepped up to the podium, she entreated all in attendance to sign a Breast Cancer Coalition petition. Destined for the White House, the written appeal seeks to encourage the government to be more forthcoming with funding for breast c ancer research. Always philanthropic, Claudia actively supports a number of charitable causes. She is donating all of her share of the proceeds from the sale one of her calendars to the Pediatric Aids Foundation.

Tyra and Michael Johnson May Be an Item

We brought you coverage of Tyra Banks and Michael Johnson opening a new Swatch store last December. At the time, it looked like the handsome couple was nothing more than good friends. We just learne d that Tyra and Michael were seen very much together recently in Atlanta. They were there because Michael was competing in the U.S. Championships. They were seen together at a Planet Hollywood party after the competition and were still together as they de parted -- a good sign in celebrity circles that love may be in the air.
