Video of the Day: Jennifer Connelly Collects City Water
As some remind us of the possibility of a New York City underwater, Charity:Water asks us to imagine a New York City with dry taps. Not only that, but imagine Brooklynite and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly having to walk to Central Park to gather dirty water for her family (though Prospect Park would have been a lot closer to her house). Where is Paul Bettany during all of this?
The PSA is to show how Connelly, and the rest of us, might "get dirty water for her family as millions of mothers in Africa do every day." Go here for more info.

JCB - That would be the party with the two-headed dildo. Burned into my mind forever.

I think those are Jennifer Connelly's real kids in the PSA! They are all very cute.

Would that be the scene where she has no pants on standing in front of the mirror, the one where she goes down on the guy for a bag of heroin or the party with the two-headed dildo?

She is definitely the hottest woman on the planet sporting two caterpillars on her face. But everytime I see her, all I can think of is THE scene in Requiem for a Dream...

Jennifer Connelly is still hot after all these years.

OMG, my dream girl hauling water in a miniskirt. Let me get that for you Jennifer!

If Jennifer Connelly gave me a glass of poison I would drink it. Still, effective ad. Good for her to highlight one of the largest public health problems in the world, if not the largest.
