Brooke Shields Lends Helping ‘Hands’

Billy Bush wasn?t being disrespectful when he called attention to Brooke Shields? chest as they spoke at a recent ?Hands of Change? party held in Los Angeles – he was doing it for a good cause. In fact, Brooke was glad he did it, and told Billy, ?You’re never rude when you zero in on my chest, really. It’s always done with respect.?

In this case, Billy was making sure people noticed the beautiful necklace Brooke was wearing, which was part of the ?Hands of Change? collection, a jewelry line crafted by young women from at-risk environments. The money raised through the sale of the jewelry at parties like the one Billy and Brooke were at goes to improve the lives of other women in third world countries. It?s an enterprise Brooke calls ?a pure example of committing to something and actually making it happen.?

?When you see the girls here learning a beautiful trade,? she told Billy, ?and then to be in a position where you also know that you are responsible for helping women abroad, it’s just empowering for them.”

“Hands of Change” is the brainchild of Brooke?s friend Brenda Battista, who has seen first-hand how much it means to have a celebrity attached to a great cause.

“Brooke has really put us on the map,? she confessed to Billy. ?She’s a wonderful friend. I love her – she’s so great. She’s done so much for us.?
