I swear if one more model gets their own TV show…no, just kidding. Petra Nemcova stars in A Model Life With Petra Nemcova. The show chronicles six girls from around the world as they compete for a modeling contract with Petra guiding them throughout the process. It debuts tonight on the TLC channel, 10 PM EST.

Petra survived the 2004 tsunami, in which her British photographer boyfriend Simon Atlee was killed, and says that because of that experience it has changed her priorities.

“In a great way, it made my life fuller and happier,” she says. “I live much more in the moment than I ever did before.”

She has established the Happy Hearts Fund, and has raised more than $2 million for children that were affected by the tsunami.
