I'm pretty sure the book is a "best of" collection, containing pictures from the shoots they've had over the last 7 years.

I don't think this has been posted before. The article from the May 2009 issue of Ocean Drive: http://www.oceandrive.com/hybrid/archives/...over/index.html Mass Appeal Who can deny the exquisite appeal of Heidi Klum? Since 1992, when she beat 25,000 other girls to win a German modeling contest, she has been a luminous force of nature. She has graced countless magazine covers, been the face of many top brands, made underwear look otherworldly as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, and become a bona fide entertainment juggernaut, making cameos on numerous TV shows and appearing in such films as Blow Dry, Ella Enchanted, and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. In recent years she’s become a household name as host and a producer of Project Runway, the popular fashion-design reality series. A project created by Desiree Gruber and Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Project Runway, now in its sixth season, has found a new home at Lifetime and will be airing this summer. All the while, she produces and hosts Germany’s Next Topmodel, works with the American Red Cross and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and finds success as an entrepreneur in the worlds of clothing (Jordache), books, accessories (Birkenstock), and candy (yes, she has her own candy). Let’s not forget she’s married to Seal and is the mother of three (and has recently announced she’s expecting again). We asked Klum to discuss a host of issues, including her new skincare line, In an Instant. OCEAN DRIVE: You continue to be the busiest model on the planet. Most recently you wrapped up filming Germany’s Next Topmodel, correct? HEIDI KLUM: I just finished season four. They were in LA this season, but at one point went down to Miami. Their challenge was to dance with the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders! OD: How did your contestants hold up next to the pros? HK: I had three or four girls who were okay, but most of the others couldn’t follow along at all. Those cheerleaders are very fit and can kick their legs up to their noses. My girls are not that limber. It makes for great TV, though. OD: How does it feel to be a part of the Top Model franchise? HK: I love it. It’s not my show originally, of course. It’s Tyra Banks’ show, and a German company bought the rights. But it actually has my name on it—Germany’s Next Topmodel by Heidi Klum—because I’m so involved with every aspect. I produce it, and have the final say on everything. They have a two-hour show every week and get really good ratings. Germans are hardcore into it! This month, we have our big finale and are doing it in a stadium in Cologne, in front of 18,000 people. OD: Why are people so hooked on shows like Top Model and Project Runway? HK: People have always been interested in fashion, but it was a myth. They didn’t know how it works. They’d buy an outfit or pick up a magazine, but they didn’t know what it takes to make a garment or put a shoot together. Project Runway and Top Model show what’s behind it all. OD: It was just announced that the sixth season of Project Runway will air this summer. How did you respond to the news? HK: I was ecstatic when I got the call from Andrea Wong at Lifetime—she wanted me to be one of the first to know that we’re back on. Finally, I can say to the fans of the show that we are back, and it was worth the wait! OD: What can people expect from the new season? HK: We have a great bunch of new designers, as well as interesting and very famous guest judges on the show. So, without giving too much away, just watch and enjoy this season. Also, for all of the fans of our models, we have Models of the Runway, our new half-hour show following Project Runway. OD: Beyond modeling and working as a TV personality, you’ve found great success as a businesswoman. Tell us about In an Instant, your new beauty line. HK: I developed it with Guthy-Renker [the company behind ProActiv]. When I first met with them, I knew right away we would make great partners. They have the best resources to make the most amazing products that people can buy at a great price. Just because there’s a beautiful glass jar and fancy stuff on the label, that doesn’t mean you have a great product. OD: Who would find In an Instant ideal? HK: Women my age and up. I’m going to be 36 in June, and I just want something that works, is very simple, and delivers results. Honestly, I’ve never looked this good, and I feel great. Most people go to the doctor and do Botox, Restylane, and silicone. I’ve never done anything to my body or face. I want to grow old; I don’t want to change my appearance. Everyone has the right to do whatever they wish, but personally, I would rather use good products. OD: Mother’s Day is coming up. Will you do anything special with the kids to celebrate? HK: I’m going to be home with the children. Usually they make something for me, and I have to cry because they’re the cutest. I’m a tough woman, but when it comes to my kids, forget about it; I’m always in tears. Last year they made little pots, and they painted them and glued things on them. But that’s how we are; we’re a very arts-and-craftsy family. We include the kids in all the holidays and when Papa comes back from a concert we make signs that say welcome home. He’s always coming and going, and the kids understand it and know that when he comes back it will be something special. OD: Since we’ve been discussing the subject of beauty, Miami is home to some of the most beautiful people in the world. How did you enjoy this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the Fontainebleau? HK: I loved it! The Fontainebleau is a beautiful place and it was a big to-do. It was funny, every Angel had a bodyguard, and I like to go running in the morning on the boardwalk. The one who got me probably thought, Oh, phew, I’m with Heidi and she’s the oldest in the bunch. But I said, ‘Great, I’ll see you tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. to go running on the beach.’ All the other guys were so glad they didn’t get me. We ran all the way from the Fontainebleau to News Cafe on Ocean Drive and back. It was not fun for him. OD: Well that seems to be your MO: Never stop running. HK: There’s never a dull moment. Sometimes I can complain and say, ‘I’m so busy and need a day off,’ but I’m so thankful to be working a lot. OD

Entertainment Tonight was also at the LA Confidential pre-Emmy party: http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/09/78791/

From E! Pregnant Heidi Klum Still Wearing 7-inch Heels Emmy nominee Heidi Klum may only be a few weeks away from having a baby girl, but she refuses to give up her high heels. Last night, the hot mama hit Los Angeles Confidential's pre-Emmy party wearing 7-inch leopard-print heels and a tight black dress to show off her baby bump. "Even at the Emmy's, I'm gonna wear high heels all night, and when I can't do it anymore, then it's time to go home," she said of her plans for Sunday. One major event she might not make it to this year? The Victoria's Secret fashion show. The supermodel says she doesn't think she can bounce back in time to strut her stuff... "The last time [i gave birth], I had two months, and I don't know if I have that much time this time," she confessed on the carpet. "It was pushing it the last time. But if I don't make it, I'm sure I'll be very sad." As for baby names, Heidi said she and hubby Seal have four or five ideas, but are waiting to see their little girl before deciding on one. Inside the bash at a private estate in Bel-Air, Heidi mingled with guests sipping Stoli cocktails and Sapporo beer. Her friend Debra Messing came to toast her Confidential cover, as did Twilight's Rachelle Lefevere. You can watch video of the red carpet interview here: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/hwood_part...ll_wearing.html

From Access Hollywood: http://www.accesshollywood.com/glam-slam-m...m_article_23127 Glam Slam: My Night With Heidi Klum LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- “I don’t know… do I really wanna be in a photo with Heidi Klum? Am I crazy?” I asked the gorgeous model last night, as we took some photos together at an event in her honor. She laughed and said “Don’t be silly, get over here!” making me feel comfortable (if not entirely confident!) about being in the same frame as one of the most beautiful people on the planet. I must be one brave chick! Ha ha! It’s a cliché, but what can I say, Heidi is truly radiant. She’s due in October and I give her props for not only being out at night, but also looking pretty fabulous doing it. She rocked sky high Christian Louboutin heels and a sexy black formfitting gown by L’Agence, accessorized with sparkly earrings. The last time I saw Heidi was at a dinner party in January the night before I was due with my baby girl. We share the same pediatrician and we mostly talked about kids and babies and being a mom and having more children. (Heidi is expecting her fourth!) She was the guest of honor at a party celebrating both her cover for Los Angeles Confidential Magazine and the Emmys this weekend. She’s nominated for host of “Project Runway” and the show is nominated for Best Reality Competition Program as well. Heidi is also an Executive Producer on the show, as is Desiree Gruber who was at the event with Heidi. The event was held at an estate overlooking the Bel-Air Country Club golf course. The tennis court was turned into a mobile “Pure” Nightclub complete with DJ and bar serving sour apple martinis. Spring rolls, oysters and lamb chops were served. Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier and BCBG’s Max Azria were also at the party and I heard that Debra Messing was there… but I never saw her. We were escorted to “Heidi’s VIP Gazebo,” which was an outdoor pavilion loaded with Sprinkles Cupcakes all done in pink. The “Sprinkles Truck” was also on location and we got cupcakes to go when we hit the valet to leave. Sweet!

Rebecca Romijn will appear on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien next Tuesday (22 September). She will also be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday (30 September). I assume both appearances are to promote her new show, Eastwick.

Looks like the birth is getting close: Pregnant Klum Skips New York Fashion Week Pregnant Heidi Klum has pulled out of an appearance at designer Ann Taylor's collection preview at New York Fashion Week on Thursday night because she could go into labor at any moment. The German supermodel was recently unveiled as the new face of Taylor's clothing label, but she will be putting her feet up in Los Angeles, awaiting the imminent arrival of her third child with singer husband Seal, instead of attending the Big Apple fashion show. A representative for Taylor tells the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, "(Klum) won't be able to make it to the show because she is due any day now." The baby will be Klum's fourth. She is mom to daughter Leni, 5, from a previous relationship, in addition to sons Henry, 4, and Johan 2. Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...6#ixzz0RPeZj3RS

From The Sudbury Star (Canada): http://www.thesudburystar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1757253 In this space, we tell you how to get the look of someone on TV. It could be where a host shops for those snazzy ties, or what brand of must-have boots a character in a cop drama struts around in. This week, Heidi Klum discusses her style. Let's be honest: Not too many people can look like her. Most of us shouldn't leave the changing room in what she wears. With that caveat in mind, this is about how to achieve Klum's overall effect, but even she says the style she has on Lifetime's "Project Runway," Thursdays, takes a lot of work. "I do like to be fashionable and go with the trend and wear the newest, coolest fun things that are still within my style," Klum says. "I go from color to print to sophisticated. I tend to wear a lot of short minidresses. I have a great stylist who helps me find great things. She comes to my house, and we do five hours of fittings. It is quite a production. It takes some time to figure out a whole season." Klum keeps some of the fabulous clothes she wears, then has to contend with storing them. "I have one big walk-in closet and I also have a closet of things I can't part with," she says. "All of my shoes and beautiful handbags and evening bags and coats." Klum's best advice as to how to look like a model is, "People should feel comfortable -not in terms of sweats comfortable," she says. "I feel like a lot of people tend to buy the same thing, over and over in different colors. Try to really step outside of your comfort zone."

Good luck. It is "Austria's biggest magazine for women," but I don't think that helps us get a hold of it.

Heidi is in yet another magazine I can't get my hands on, and this one sounds really great: Austrian MADONNA, 12 September 2009 I've also translated this article: http://www.oe24.at/madonna/society/Heidi-K...NNA-0533168.ece In a few weeks comes baby number four into the world and Heidi Klum (36) is pleased that "this time we get another girl. For Leni also wishes for a sister." Before that, the village beauty from Bergisch Gladbach - who moved out into the world and made of the greatest model careers - gives herself (and us) a gift: the magnificent volume of pictures, "Heidilicious", in which the soon-to-be four-time mother shows for the first time her unknown side. For her favorite photographer, Rankin, the beauty with residence in L.A. undressed repeatedly. The naked facts - Heidi completely without clothes, as a leather vamp, as a bunny or as a disreputable vamp - all presented beforehand in MADONNA. Exclusive Heidi Klum only allows initial pre-publication of her picture book including management to selected media. In Austria the topmodel selected MADONNA. Intimate Heidi Also in the interview with Rankin, Heidi gives intimate insights. The successful host of "Germany's Next Top Model" divulges how her husband Seal is "turned on" by her erotic nude photos, why she is "good" but "indecent" and when she will stop. See the exclusive pictures and read the interview on Saturday in your MADONNA!

Here is the article from Page Six: http://www.nypost.com/pagesixmag/issues/20...+Project+Runway Heidi Klum Talks Seal, Karl Lagerfeld, and Project Runway In June, fashionistas everywhere dropped their jaws when Karl Lagerfeld, creative designer for Chanel, Fendi and his own label, slammed supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband Seal, hissing, seemingly out of the blue, "I don't know her. Claudia [schiffer] doesn't know her. She was never in Paris. We don't know her." As for Seal, Karl sniffed, "I am no dermatologist, but I wouldn't want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters." Considering that Heidi is well-behaved, well-liked and infinitely less scandal-prone than scads of her industry peers (from Kate to Naomi), most people were floored, wondering, "What's up Lagerfeld's bony ass? What did she ever do to him?" Heidi has never publicly discussed the drama—until now. Sitting in the lavish drawing room of Tribeca's hip Greenwich Hotel, riding high on the success of the sixth season of Project Runway, which drew a record-breaking 4.2 million viewers with its premiere episode, she looks puzzled and a bit hurt. "I don't know why he said that," she says. "Maybe he wanted to be in the paper? Maybe he doesn't understand what I do? It's bizarre to me that he says he doesn't know who I am because he's dressed me in the past. I've worn Karl Lagerfeld. Not even Chanel—his line. Lagerfeld doesn't just send random things everywhere, so it was a big thing for me [to wear his label] to the CFDA Awards a few years ago. I don't know how he missed that, when he dressed me that time. But you know, it's cool. People can say whatever they want to say. You can't please everybody, and you can't live your life wanting to please everybody either." Lounging in an armchair on this sunny, Saturday morning, Heidi is a living example of the who-cares-what-people-think mantra. For one, she is not wearing a lick of makeup. Not. One. Lick. Her lips, sans gloss, are slightly chapped. Her blonde hair is sopping wet and parted down the middle. Lastly, she's talking about her cankles. Wait a sec—Heidi Klum, the German sensation whose stems are insured for $2.2 million, has cankles!? That catty bitch Lagerfeld would have a field day with this juicy revelation. "Look!" Heidi says, pointing to her leg. "I've got a spider vein! It's probably from the weight, right?" Heidi is pregnant with her fourth child, a second girl due in October, and she's half-lamenting, half-joking about the changes her body has endured. "It's hard when you don't fit in your things anymore," she continues. "The last month is unbelievable, how rapidly your stomach goes. It's huge. The thighs, the butt—everything explodes in the end. But it's bizarre. Just as it's a miracle that you can grow a human being in your belly, it's a miracle that your body goes back to normal again. I don't think you ever get back to exactly the way you were, but you do get close. And I'm happy with that. Especially when you see your kid for the first time." (And she probably won't have trouble losing the baby weight: In 2005, she notably donned the Victoria's Secret angel wings less than two months after giving birth to her second child.) Still, Heidi, 36, is no stranger to disappointment. She has fought for her success every step of the way—armed with an unwavering opinion of how her career should play out. Although she has been hosting Runway since 2004, her fashion career began in 1992, when at the age of 18, she beat out nearly 25,000 girls to win a German modeling contest called Model '92. Her prize: a $300,000 modeling contract. "After that, I thought, 'Now I'm in the industry. This is my ticket, things will happen.' But they didn't. In the beginning, I could never book a job." It may be hard to believe, but even after winning the contest, Heidi was forced to pound the pavement in Paris, Milan, England and Miami for a few years. "I stayed in Miami for three months. There were like 500 girls but only a few jobs, so it was hard. You'd go to a casting and put your name on a list, but they had no time to look at anybody. It was next, next, next." She lived in a model apartment with "a zillion" other girls and watched how they dressed, behaved and did their hair and makeup. Her English was still choppy, so she became a cultural sponge. "I come from a very small place [in Bergisch Gladbach, a city outside of Cologne] so I was soaking it up," she says. "I never got into the party scene—I was a hermit." Later that year, she moved to New York, but she was still struggling to book jobs, living in a cramped, four-bedroom apartment with three other models above a laundromat on 18th Street. "It was always smelling of fresh clothes," she recalls with a laugh, "which was nice at first but later annoying. We never had hot water because they were always doing the wash downstairs. It was a dump, but it cost a lot. They charged each girl $800! I'm sure someone made some money on the side." Considering that she was a healthy-looking woman during an era that celebrated bony models and grunge, times were tough. But she refused to give up. "I was walking around New York for three or four years [before booking any major gigs]," she says. "Sports Illustrated and Victoria's Secret took a while. But I was determined to make it work. I wanted to get a job." In Italy, she had landed a Swatch campaign, which set her on a commercial (as opposed to high-fashion) career trajectory that has endured to this day. "Swatch is a world brand, so it was OK to have a smile on my face. I didn't have to be supercool." As her status grew, Heidi became known as one of the industry's few shapely models, suited to hawk mass-market underwear and host mainstream shows like MTV's Fashionably Loud. "I was never in the high, high fashion industry. I was never one of those superskinny, supertall waif girls who goes from show to show. When you do more commercial things, your weight is allowed to fluctuate a bit. Not every inch counts." (Heidi is five-foot-nine and weighs around 130 pounds.) In 1998, she became a household name by appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Since then, she has represented major commercial brands from McDonald's to H&M to Jordache, and was estimated by Forbes this past May to pull in an annual income of $16 million. When asked about modeling's look du jour—emaciated girls—a troubled look falls across her face. "It's hard for the girls. How old are they? Fifteen, 16? Some girls are naturally thin and can eat whatever they want. When I was 15, 16, there was not one ounce of fat on me, but some other girls have to work hard to stay like that. But the rules are not made by the models. To be part of this, they have to be the size the designer wants them to be. I'm not that skinny, and I never was, but I can pretty much eat whatever I want." When it comes to love, however, Heidi struggled to find lasting happiness. In the past, she's been linked to Red Hot Chili Pepper's frontman Anthony Kiedis, hairdresser Ric Pipino (they divorced after a five-year marriage) and millionaire Formula One boss Flavio Briatore, with whom she has a daughter, Leni, 5. Heidi and Seal met in the lobby of New York's Mercer hotel in 2003—she has famously said of the bicycle shorts he was wearing, "I saw everything—the whole package"—and they were married on a Mexican beach in 2005. She breaks into a huge smile when asked how she knew Seal was "the one." "Aside from his sexy stature? He's a gentle giant. [seal is six-foot-three-and-a-half.] We're very into family values. If you come to our house in L.A., you'll see that it's not a big, museum-like house where you can't touch anything or sit anywhere. It's a family house, where three children [Leni, Henry, 4; and Johann, 3] are living. We have toys all over the place." Every year, Heidi and Seal renew their vows with an outrageous costume party. This year's theme? "The tabloids called it white trash, but it was actually '80s," Heidi says. "I wore this ridiculous white suit that I bought in Vegas, and I had the same one made for Leni." Seal wore a mullet wig, and they were "remarried" by an Elvis impersonator. "This was our fifth wedding, and I already have a good idea for next year," she says, laughing. "I think it's wonderful for our children to remember how crazy mom and dad were that they f***ing did this party every year." Heidi and her brood have been living in the Greenwich Hotel for the past five weeks while she finishes filming the seventh season of Project Runway. (It will air in January.) Right now, however, she's gushing about the long-delayed sixth season, which only made it on the air after a messy legal battle, which was resolved when the Weinstein Co. agreed to pay NBC Universal for the right to move the show to Lifetime. (Heidi is also hosting Models of the Runway, a behind-the-scenes look at the catwalkers.) "In season six, the girl designers are catty but very strong," she says, no doubt to the delight of contestants like Shirin Askari, 24, from Richardson, Texas, Irina Shabayeva, a 27-year-old New Yorker, and Carol Hannah Whitfield, a 24-year-old native of Charleston, S.C. "We've had great celebrities: Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan…" Although she sometimes comes across as cold and removed on the show, apparently reveling in telling the designers they've been "Auf'd," Heidi says the façade is essential in order to remain objective. "Otherwise, I'd get too attached, and I'd take their life story into consideration, which I don't want to do. Either I like the clothes or I don't. I don't want to know that you live with your sick mother. I don't want to feel badly because they have a sad story, like, 'Poor thing, let's keep him on.' " Her favorite all-time contestant? Season four winner Christian Siriano. "Christian is the total package," she says. "He's very talented and a go-getter, which you have to be. He took the great opportunities afterwards—Ugly Betty, the Ellen show—but he was still designing. Contestants sometimes think, 'I'm a celebrity now,' but it's like, 'No, you're not a celebrity. You're a designer. Don't forget what got you here to begin with.' " Suddenly, Heidi's young sons bound into the room, flanked by three nannies (Leni is upstairs sick with another adult). Henry jumps into Mom's lap. As the group tries to decide between spending the day at a water park or at Citibabes, a members-only kids club, Heidi kisses Henry and says, "I'm working, my love, but I'll be able to play with you soon." Clearly she's comfortable with the multifaceted life she's built, critics (Lagerfeld and otherwise) be damned: "You have to just do your thing," she says, taking a last sip of coffee. "As long as you don't hurt anybody along the way."

David Kirsch demonstrates Heidi Klum's butt workout:

9 min interview with Ryan Seacrest: http://www.ryanseacrest.com/audio/?MediaID=374

Not sure if this is true (I read it on a blog somewhere) but, if it is, it's sad news for the VSFS: One Angel that won’t be able to make it is Heidi Klum, whose pregnancy will prevent her participation. Klum told press, “The birth will be very, very close to when the show is. I don’t know if I’ll be able to walk in my underwear quite that fast!”

I've "reverse photoshopped" the Page Six pictures to remove the tag and to give Heidi her legs back:

Here is the FLV video file from Page Six: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DROHYQCV

Thanks MjAtaura

Also, I found these tagged pictures from Page Six: Forgive me, but isn't that second pic one of the most ridiculously photoshopped pictures of her ever? :yuckky: She has always said she is proud of her curves. So why did they remove her hips and give her the figure of a pencil?

There's only one picture in that magazine? Then why am I going crazy trying to find that issue?

Ah, yes! The ones with the money dress were used by Forbes. But these are clearly the same outfits as what is posted on L.A. Confidential's website: Plus, she has the same hairstyle throughout, so I assumed all the pics came from the same photo shoot. I also assumed that L.A. Confidential would stick more than one picture (besides the cover) in their magazine, and jal718 is in a position to prove that wrong.

I found these on another website attributed to Heidi, but I'm not sure it's her:
