Dollar not a model currency.

Dollar not a model currency.
Gisele Bündchen is the world’s highest paid model, and “to stay that way she is insisting that she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.” PatrÃcia Bündchen, the model’s twin sister and manager, said in September: “Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don’t know what will happen to the dollar.” The dollar has fallen 34 percent since 2001, but forecasters say it will weaken even more as U.S. home sales fall and the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates.
UPDATE: CNBC reports that Anne Nelson, another one of Gisele’s managers, says the story is false. “Some idiot in Brazil reported something just to make news,” she said.

November 6th, 2007 at 11:07 am“CNBC reports that Anne Nelson, another one of Gisele’s managers, says the story is false. “Some idiot in Brazil reported something just to make news…”
- – In another shocker, Patricia, Gisele’s twin sister, is hideous looking.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:09 amseems like there are a whole lot of people dropping the dollar…. looks like telling iran they cant use the dollar is a gift…
November 6th, 2007 at 11:09 amHmmmm. Perhaps Gisele ought to consider it. With the dollar falling – it makes good sense.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:10 am3rd world ‘r us, coming to a nation near you soon~!
November 6th, 2007 at 11:10 amNews? Nuze? or Snooze?

November 6th, 2007 at 11:13 amafter the reichstag fire, hitler devalued the german currency in order to destabilize the economy and install himself as chancellor.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:17 amWho is she? What exactly does a “model” do? Stand or walk around?

Did you even bother to check the link, Einstein? Or is the BBC now in on the ‘vast left-wing conspiracy’?
November 6th, 2007 at 11:22 amWell, when oil producing countries drop the dollar as a reserve currency and start accepting only the Euro and the Yen….
November 6th, 2007 at 11:28 amYet another false story with a false headline being circulated by TP.
Comment by TCDon — November 6, 2007 @ 11:20 am
yet you keep coming back like the right wing crack ho that you are.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:46 amcan’t get enough of it, eh?
Gee, finally TP has served us up a picture of a babe who is not the current mouthpiece for the Bush crime family. Thank you. Back in the days of yore (the late 1960s), the radical alternative newspaper from New York City, the East Village Other, would have a nice picture of their “Slum Goddess” of the month. A nice touch that none of the other lib/rad “alternative” newspapers would touch with a ten foot pole…
November 6th, 2007 at 12:03 pmTCDon is back to whine and cry about how mean we are to the shitstains that he worshps. too bad, don, you’re on the wrong side of history.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:04 pmTCDON,
I thought the rightwing hated people who claimed to be victims?
That is all I hear from the uptight, white, right crowd these days. Poor me, boo-hooism.
You man Bush has ruined America.
Pat him on his hunched back next time you see him.

November 6th, 2007 at 12:13 pmno one I know that lives outside the US (consultants, small companies) does business in the USD anymore. If they do, they get a clause that protects them from all or most loss. If that supermodel did get paid in USD and hasn’t switched to euro or GBP, she likely soon will. No I know how it feels to be Canadian ;) (pre 2001)
November 6th, 2007 at 1:10 pmDo you think gisele would take dana purina’s job once she snaps? It would keep the press corp from asking those pesky questions for a while.
November 6th, 2007 at 2:50 pmThis has to be one of the stupidest stories I’ve ever seen posted on TP. You guys can do better than this shallow crap.
