Natalie obviously had little interest in posing for the cameras at LAX the other day, but what does interest her these days is working with developing countries. As the Foundation for International Community Assistance's (FINCA) Ambassador of Hope, she's launching the Village Banking Campaign. The campaign will open over 100,000 community banks in the poorest regions of the world, allowing men and women access to loans and banking services they wouldn't otherwise have. She even shot a documentary in Mexico recently documenting the people they were able to help. As if we needed another reason to love Natalie.

    I'm glad that she's supporting a good cause. Smiling
    But I've always been iffy about Natalie...I'm not really a fan of hers.

    I love her in The Professional. She is about acting and doing humanitarian work, not partying and being stupid. If you think that's boring, too bad, at least she is doing something meaningful with her celebrity status instead of just making more and more money like some celebs such as Kate Moss.

    Natalie can be quite naughty too I bet. I think Jake and her will make a lovely couple. Though I'm rooting for Aniston and Jake also.

    A little goes a long way in some of these countries. For $10 somebody in Africa might be able to open up a business.

    I hope they are going to offer micro-loans as well. hhmmm... I can think of several other celebs who do charity work & have their motives questioned. Wonder why no-one does that w/ Natalie? (whom I LOVE so no-one jump all over me)

    I saw some article the other day of the prettiest celebs without make up! Why wasn't Natalie on the top of that list??? I mean I love Drew and she's adorable but I think Natalie is probably one of the prettiest people ever!

    Agree with everyone who thinks she rocks!!

    What a truly inspirational young woman, obscenely talented, intelligent and genuinely caring, and a real and proper role model for young girls everywhere. In a way it's a shame that she's not more high-profile so that more young girls could divert their attention and their aspirations away from the vacuous and superficial Hilton/Ritchie/Lohan/etc brigade, but I guess it's the fact that she keeps such a low profile that makes me respect her all the more.

    I really, REALLY heart Natalie.

    I like what FINCA is doing, it seems to be a great organization. It's cool that Natalie is their Ambassador of Hope, her heart is in the right place.
