On the heels of winter storm Nemo several celebrities have braved the cold weather (and their cushy warm homes on the west coast) to brave Mercedes Benz fashion week in New York City.

Vanessa Hudgens stepped out in a colorful wrap dress for the Herve Leger by Max Azria fashion show on Sunday. She wore a black peacoat and dark sunglasses on her way into the event.

Over the weekend Ashlee Simpson attended the Nicole Miller Fall/Winter 2013 Fashion show at the Studio in the Lincoln Center. She wore a patterned frock, black tights and leather strapped boots.

Victoria Beckham launched her fal...

Petra Nemcova attended "The Impossible" Los Angeles premiere on Monday looking gorgeous in a strapless pink gown.

The film centers on the 2004 Thailand tsunami, detailing one family's incredible fight for survival. Nemcova was trapped in the country during the storm and her fiance, photographer Simon Atlee, was killed in the disaster.

Ever since the tragedy the model has worked to help fellow survivors of natural disasters. When she watched a screening of the film she was overwhelmed by its realism.

She told Entertainment Tonight, "It definitely had a huge impact on me... The first half ...

Petra Nemcova showed off her stunning model figure at Milan Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2013 Pin Up Stars Catwalk.

The Czech-born model wore an orange string bikini with bear faces on the top as well as a dainty floral yellow bikini.

Nemcova has been unlucky in love. In 2004, her fiance, Simon Atlee, died during the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. Nemcova survived by hanging on to a tree for eight hours. In 2010 she got engaged to British actor Jamie Belman, but their relationship fizzled out two years later. This past spring she was linked to actor Sean Penn.

She has been active in several ...

Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova have fueled rumors they are a couple after they were spotted enjoying a date at U2 rocker Bono's birthday party in New York on Thursday night.

Nemcova and Penn were originally linked in 2008, but reportedly rekindled their romance after the model broke off her engagement to British actor Jamie Belman in April.

And they refused to hide their affection for each other at a party for Bono's 52nd birthday at The Spotted Pig in the Big Apple.

According to New York Post gossip column Page Six, the two were "very much" together as they partied with Jay-Z, Anna Wintour...

Model Petra Nemcova is bouncing back from her broken engagement to British actor Jamie Belman by seeking solace in the arms of Sean Penn, according to a report.

The Czech beauty was due to exchange vows with Belman this summer, but the couple called off its wedding and split in early April.

The runway stunner has since reportedly turned to Oscar winner and fellow humanitarian Penn for comfort - and the pair, which was first romantically linked in 2008, was spotted enjoying a cozy dinner date in New York just days after the news of her break up from Belman hit the headlines.

An eyewitn...

Model and humanitarian Petra Nemcova has split from her British actor fiancé Jamie Belman.

The pair was set to wed this year after announcing their engagement last January, but a representative for Nemcova has confirmed the sad split news.

Her spokesperson tells People.com, "Petra Nemcova and Jamie Belman confirm their separation. They remain close friends and thank their families for their continued support during this time."

Nemcova was previously engaged to photographer Simon Atlee, who died during the 2004 tsunami disaster in Thailand.

Lindsay Lohan's little sister Ali has landed a modelling contract with the agency representatives responsible for turning Petra Nemcova into a runway star.

Ali Lohan, 17, has signed a multi-year deal with bosses at NEXT Model Management.

Alexis Borges, NEXT Los Angeles Director, tells JustJared.com, "We are very excited to be representing Aliana Lohan. She represents the future face of fashion and will be a photographer's dream with her chameleon-like beauty."

The teenager has previously fronted a promotional campaign for Lindsay's 6126 fashion range.

Us audience members were officially cut off Tuesday morning. No more voting for "Dancing With The Stars." But the judges still had another set of scores to give on Tuesday’s finale, and we got three hours of show to sit through. Three hours. They had to make up for Monday’s show only being an hour long, I guess.

Luckily the first hour was a repeat, so I don’t have to write five million extra words for a third of the show. Then the opening sequence and voice over for the real show kicked in, and were especially dramatic. That is saying a lot when talking about this show. I a...

American Week performances were hit and miss, so I’m glad we’re putting that behind us, and I’m looking forward to next week’s “guilty pleasures” theme. But of course there is the business of who has to go home to deal with before we can move on. Let’s take a look at where Monday’s judges’ scores left us:

1. Hines and Kym - 27
2. Chris and Cheryl - 26
2. Chelsea and Mark - 26
2. Romeo and Chelsie - 26
3. Kirstie and Maks - 23
4. Ralph and Karina - 22
4. Petra and Dmitry - 22
4. Kendra and Louis - 22

We started out this results show with the fates of the top scorer, Hines, and Kirstie, w...

It’s American Week on ‘Dancing With The Stars’, and Monday was a night of odd music choices mixed with dances that didn’t fit them. As a result, there were a lot of awkward performances, and mixed reviews. I think they may have started out with a good idea for a theme, but didn’t carry it out very well. After last week’s classical theme, it was a definite step down. But the show must go on, and ‘Dancing’ has always got to have a gimmick, right?

Ralph Macchio (Actor) and Karina Smirnoff
Dance: Samba
Scores: 8, 7, 7
Len said that he was disappointed in Ralph’s inconsistency. He said it w...

Classical Week performances are over and done, but ‘Dancing With The Stars’ still had last night’s results show to milk the orchestra. It wasn’t quite as effective with Jennifer Hudson taking Katherine Jenkins’ spot at center stage, but that wasn’t really what mattered. What mattered is who the heck was going to go home. This was one of those weeks that it seemed like it could have been anyone.

In fact, the first couple declared to be in jeopardy was sort of a shock based on judge scores, but even then I still wondered if it really could have been their time. I’m getting ahead of mys...

Tchaikovsky, Rota, Bocelli, Williams... It’s Classical Week on ‘Dancing With The Stars’, and the band has gone and multiplied into a 46 member orchestra. On top of that, we had some amazing guest stars, like violinist David Garrett and singer Katherine Jenkins. I’m not a huge fan of classical music, but I enjoy it enough, and this was one of the best theme nights I can remember in recent seasons.

The stage was really quite amazing to see, and it brought a whole new element to the show. Last season they did Acoustic Week, and that was uneventful in my eyes, but this was a game changer. ...

Monday night we laughed and cried, and oohed and aahed, among other cliche reactions, over the emotional stories our stars told with their dances. We collectively cringed over Kirstie and Maks’ fall, then talked about it all day long. We discussed how the scores have been all over the place this season... and then talked about Kirstie and Maks some more.

Look, you fall down on ‘Dancing’, and you’re going to have to talk about it and hear about it until you have a nervous breakdown. It’s just the way it is.

Here’s a run down of where we stood after Monday’s performances:

1. Hines and K...

Model Petra Nemcova's performance on Dancing With The Stars was filled with emotion on Monday night - she danced to the song that helped her fight back to health after her ordeal in the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004.

Nemkova was vacationing with her fiance Simon Atlee when the giant waves hit Indonesia on the day after Christmas.

Atlee was killed and Nemkova was left stranded on a treetop with a shattered pelvis and other life-threatening injuries for eight hours.

She has always credited Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" as the song that helped her through the recovery process and on Monday...

With Mike and Lacey gone, we now have ten stars standing, some good, some bad, some ridiculous. Some of them are all of those things at the same time, and this week they get to tell us their personal stories. Each star picked a song that they had an emotional connection to, and had to express it in their dance.

It wasn’t as silly as I thought it was going to be.

The outcomes were a little surprising, most especially because they gave us a brand new pecking order at the end of the night. Again. This season is shaping up to be unpredictable. Don’t these people realize that they’re toyi...

It's inevitable. One by one, all the contestants on 'Dancing With The Stars' will go home until there is only one left standing. It's no fun for anyone, but for the very first to go, it downright stinks.

Of course, before we kick someone off the dance floor crying (maybe), the first hour of 'Dancing' is the recap hour. I actually really like to rewatch the dances without all the extraneous stuff. And I have to admit that on second watch, yes, I was a little harsh in my criticism of Petra this week. Did I think she had any better a chance going into the elimination show after a rewatch...

It's week two of 'Dancing With The Stars', and expectations are high. For some. Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley came out on fire last week, and we wanted to see if they can keep up the high standard. Was it luck? A product of the opening night high? I was especially interested in seeing Kirstie, considering I expected utter clumsiness last week. She shocked a lot of people. Can she do it again?

The rest of our stars are... not so heavily anticipated. In fact, Mike Catherwood couldn't get worse. Well, I shouldn't say that. He could fall down this week, or have a nervous bre...

On the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars, we were treated to a handful of surprises. Karate Kid Ralph Macchio started at the top of the competition, and right behind him was... Kirstie Alley!

Meanwhile, fan favorites Kendra Wilkinson and Wendy Williams were on the bottom half - lucky for them, radio personality Mike Catherwood had the worst performance of the night. But let's start at the top:

Ralph Macchio stunned the judges with his foxtrot with partner Karina Smirnoff, set to "Kick in the Head." Judge Len Goodman said the obvious: "You've got great potential... best foxtrot of ...

Tsunami survivor Petra Nemcova almost pulled out of an upcoming stint on TV show Dancing With The Stars to help disaster victims in Japan.

The supermodel was vacationing in Thailand when the 2004 tsunami struck, claiming the life of her boyfriend Simon Atlee and leaving her trapped in a tree with multiple injuries. She has since founded the Happy Hearts charity organization, and dedicates much of her spare time to helping children and their families get back on their feet after natural disasters.

Nemcova was left shaken by the news of the massive tsunami, which engulfed Japan's east coa...

Tsunami survivor Petra Nemcova has offered her advice to the survivors of the Japanese disaster, urging citizens caught up in the disaster to stay "calm and focused."

The catwalk beauty was left devastated when her photographer fiancé Simon Atlee was killed while holidaying in Thailand in 2004 when the tsunami of 2004 hit. Nemcova suffered a broken pelvis in the natural disaster after clinging on to a palm tree to survive the huge tidal wave.

Now, Nemcova has spoken out following the devastating earthquake and tsunami which struck Japan on Friday, urging those caught up in the chaos to t...

The twelfth season of "Dancing With The Stars" begins March 21, and reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson is an early favorite to win. She'll be competing against hip hop star Romeo, boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard, Disney star Chelsea Kane, "Karate Kid" Ralph Macchio, supermodel Petra Nemcova, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, talk show hostess Wendy Williams, WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, former "Cheers" star Kirstie Alley, radio personality Mike Catherwood.

Take a look back at the previous 11 seasons and see who won the coveted mirror ball tropy. There were four athletes, six w...

Last week’s hometown visits helped “The Bachelor” eliminate professional embalmer and future head of the funeral home, Shawntel N. Did anyone ever doubt that Brad would follow in the footsteps of previous “Bachelor (ette) s” (Jason Meznick and Ali Fedotowsky) who quickly ended their relationship with a contestant whose hometown visit included a brush with death (pet cemetery and taxidermy)? Cool as Shawntel was, she wasn’t making it out of the subsequent rose ceremony alive.

This week was a bit trickier to determine. We’ve seen Brad have his ups and downs with all three potential brides-t...

Upcoming "Dancing With The Stars" contestant Petra Nemcova attended the 19th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party in a form-fitting metallic gown. What do you think of her look?

During last night's episode of The Bachelor, DWTS hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke revealed the new cast, which also includes: rapper Romeo, boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, Disney star Chelsea Kane, actor Ralph Macchio, reality show star Kendra Wilkinson, football star Hines Ward, talk show host Wendy Williams, WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, actress Kirstie Alley and radio personality Mike Cathe...

Dancing With The Stars is set for its big 12th season return in just a few weeks, and the new cast is official!

During Monday night's episode of The Bachelor, DWTS hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke revealed the new cast, most of whom came as no surprise as a partial list was leaked earlier in the day.

One standout is rapper Romeo, who was supposed to have been on the show for Season 2 but had to drop out after a basketball injury left him sidelined. His father, rapper Master P, took over for him and was quick to exit the show after dismal performances.

The perennial judges panel of Len...

In Hollywood it seems that marriages, engagements and divorces happen too often in a very short amount of time. There are a few lucky couples that can make a celebrity marriage work and some that can’t even make it through the honeymoon stage. Let’s hope these couples who plan on tying the knot this year can prove us wrong.

Nick Lachey – Nick and longtime girlfriend aka rebound girl, Vanessa Minnillo are finally making their relationship official by tying the knot. The 36 year old former boy band star popped the question to the 29 year old beauty queen and confessed, “She’s the love of ...

Czech model Petra Nemcova is set to wed British actor Jamie Belman after just eight months of dating.

The couple met last year after being introduced by mutual friends and the stars spent the holidays together with both of their families.

British Vogue magazine now reports the pair is set to become husband and wife after Belman recently proposed.

In the past, Nemcova, 31, has been romantically linked to Oscar winner Sean Penn and singer James Blunt. She lost her previous fiance, Simon Atlee, in December 2004 when he was killed in the catastrophic Asian tsunami. The model was a survivor o...

Not only is Doug Reinhardt one of LA's most sought after bachelors, but this TV star is all about using this stardom for a cause. On December 10th in NYC, Doug will take part in the "Fight for Humanity Gala" benefiting the Somaly Mam Foundation. By stepping into the boxing ring, all of the money raised at this star studded event will help this charity's powerful mission: to bring an end to human trafficking. Other celebs like Emmanuelle Chriqui, Petra Nemcova, and even Susan Sarandon support the works of Somaly Mam so Starpulse caught up with Doug for an exclusive check in before his big fi...

Gay movie star and TV personality Rosie O'Donnell missed the chance to date a supermodel after failing to pick up love signals from Petra Nemcova when the stunner was a guest on her talk show.

The A League of Their Own star, who recently split from her wife Kelli Carpenter, insists she'd never date another celebrity - but she could have hooked up with the Czech beauty.

O'Donnell tells radio host Howard Stern her staff members made it clear that Nemcova, who has never confessed to being gay, was hitting on her - but the host was too focused on interviewing her to notice.

She says...

Singer James Blunt is single again after his girlfriend reportedly dumped him. The "You're Beautiful" star had been dating model Natasha Archdale since January, but the brunette is said to have called off the relationship because Blunt has been spending too much time in the recording studio.

A source tells Britain's News of the World, "James and Natasha were such a good couple it just fizzled out. It became very clear that they wanted different things. She wanted long mornings in bed in each other's arms. But he preferred to sit at his piano and write songs."

The star was previously l...

Sean Penn's mystery London date was Sports Illustrated model Jessica White, an ex-girlfriend of football star Terrell Owens.

The pair had gossips in a frenzy earlier this month when they were spotted enjoying two nights out together in the British capital - just a month after Penn's wife Robin Wright Penn handed him divorce papers. Penn and White were seen laughing and joking and the Oscar-winner even fed the model food from his own plate.

Besides dating Buffalo Bills wide receiver Owens, 25-year-old White has appeared in Jay-Z and John Legend music videos and modeled for Ralph Lauren...
