Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is to appear naked in a new ad campaign for a Brazilian eco-charity.

Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the richest supermodel on the planet, the 28-year-old is well known for her support of charities that protect the Amazon rainforest – such as Nascentes do Brasil, ISA, Y Ikatu Xingu, and De Olho nos Mananciais – as well as her work with breast cancer charities, Bono’s (PRODUCT) RED campaign, and the Zero Hunger campaign in her native Brazil.

Now Bundchen has posed – clad only in leaves – on the cover of US magazine American Photo to promote her Forests of the Future project for the reforestation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The initiative, which was set up with SOS Mata Atlantica in 2004, has planted over 1 million new trees in Bundchen’s name to start reforestation of the Brazilian rainforests.

Elton John is putting his famous red piano up for auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

The piano has been with John through many tours, and he will play it for the last time on March 5 at the Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Dinner. After that it will be put up for auction on eBay with an opening bidding price of $85,000.

While on tour in Brazil, Bono encouraged concert-goers to work together towards ending poverty, and has donated one of his guitars in support of the Brazilian government’s Zero Hunger program.

Lenny Kravitz donated a guitar to the Zero Hunger program last year, raising about $132,000 at an auction.
