    Here is my translation of the main article on the German Vogue website: I, Heidi Purposeful, generous and fantastically humorous. A visit with the most beautiful and successful personal-corporation in the world. Sunshine, a warm, light breeze breathes through the city. 10:30 in the Los Angeles morning. It promises to become a beautiful day. "Good Morning everyone," whistles Heidi Klum in her best mood as she rips open the door with cheerful momentum. She looks fantastic, totally without makeup, so casual only wearing a t-shirt and black leggings, without an entourage. She looks around at the hairstylist, makeup artist and wardrobe specialist and gives everyone her million-dollar smile. "When I came home last night, I had to put makeup on my children for the first time. They found my makeup so wild and wanted to look just like me," she blurts out. NICE GIRL We are on the grounds of an old power plant in a roomy trailer, in which Heidi Klum is preparing for the photo shoot. She glides into the hairstyling chair, striking her long legs valued at 1.6 million euros together and checks her Blackberry for the last time. "Today, I'm not supposed to laugh on set," she giggles informally. "The photographer wants me to look straight ahead and seriously into the camera." Heidi should not show her trademark laughter? "What else is there?" asks the willing Klum critic. "That is okay. I don't make make anything of criticism and certain commentary does not interest me. There are certain things I just don't talk about." Clear answer. That is exactly what is so refreshingly sympathetic about Heidi Klum: always friendly, in a good mood, never hard, annoying or cold, not even regarding paparazzi. To be sure, she demarcates the boundaries clearly. "Take part and surpass your partner," her motto reads. A woman who wears her heart on her tongue knows what she wants and has no angst about saying "no". Every bit as purposeful today at 35 years as she was in 1992 when she beat out more than 25000 rivals on Thomas Gottschalks late-night show. Her best friend even today, Karin, had persuaded her to join in at that time. With her newly established Heidi Klum, PLC ("You never know how good that is") and with a $300,000, three-year modeling contract in her pocket, Klum went first to Miami in 1993 and then to New York. Diligently, far away from home and without support, she fought for one casting after another. "The beginning was bad. I got many refusals and often felt alone, homesick," she reveals. "But I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it." She instructed her agent to open doors for her. She already felt she could handle the rest. THE BREAKTHROUGH In the spring of 1997, she ascended to the peak of U.S. modeling - she walked the runway for Victoria's Secret - the beginning of her now more than 10-year collaboration with the lingerie cult-label. Also, her private life could not have run better. In the same year, she married her fiancee, celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino (the marriage held for six years during her steep career, but is no longer standing and they are separated). Soon after that Heidi's star was illuminated in the sky over Hollywood, as she occupied different roles in films and TV shows. One of the memorable early appearances was a scene in bed with Michael J. Fox in the successful series Spin City, in which Heidi played herself yodeling. A simple irony that she can again and again have a marvelous time with that. Also, her international breakthrough did not wait long. In 1998 she became the first German on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and released a true "Heidimania" with that. So far, that success story is incomparable. How the beautiful German further went to her breakthrough, read the current issue of Vogue 06/09.

    http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/hwood_part..._tell_seal.html Heidi Klum has a big secret to keep from hubby Seal: whether their baby will be a boy or a girl. While hosting LG’s Rumorous Night Launch party last night, the expectant supermodel told E!’s Debbie Matenopolous that Seal doesn’t want to know the sex of their latest addition. “I won’t tell my husband,” Heidi said. “He doesn’t want to know, so therefore I can’t tell anyone because people chat.” But one thing Seal's kept from Heidi? That he wants seven kids! “I’m going to have to talk to my husband later!" she said, when Debbie told her about his recent interview. "With four, I think we’ve reached our family to the fullest, to the max.” Only time will tell…

  12. I had a problem trying to upload attachments today. I was able to upload a picture that was 86K in size, but the larger pics ~800K would not upload (all jpg). It would say "uploading file" after I selected the file, but when it stopped, the "manage current attachments" list showed 0 attachments and the "upload" and "browse..." buttons disappeared. Is there a new size limit I wasn't aware of? It says "Max. single upload size: 32MB" as I'm typing this...

    Thanks! If my online Hungarian translator is accurate, she wrote a blog post about spending two months in Hong Kong under contract with IMG starting last October. She may be trying to go the conventional modeling route. This may explain why there seems to be a drop-off in the amount of "adult" modeling in recent months. Or, I'm just looking in the wrong places.

    MF_Doom: Chocolate is right. You need HJSplit to join the two parts. Then it works just fine.

    :trout: You should be ashamed. (Kidding) Moving on, Heidi is in the current issue of US Weekly. Here is a preview of the interview: http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/...strict-mom.html Supermodel Heidi Klum (35) is going to have a fourth child later this year - and she has revealed for the first time what a strict mom she is! She also spoke out about her pregnancy and how she and her husband Seal (46) raise their children. There are plenty of rules, and their kids certainly stick to them! They certainly wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of this yummy mummy... Her fourth baby: “We always wanted another. At the dinner table it always felt like there was one more seat left to fill. We all hope that it will be a little girl, especially Leni. She would love a little sister.” Pregnancy: “It is the most amazing thing that the body can do. It’s completely different every time, I love it. The birth is such an overwhelming experience but I am always worried about losing all the pregnancy weight!” Bringing up the children: “We want our children to be well behaved. When we sit down with our little ones on an airplane, from LA to Germany, most people roll their eyes. But then they always end up congratulating them on being so well behaved on the 12 hour flight.” Childcare: “We have three nannies and two are always there. They are part of the family. We eat together and watch TV together.” TV: “TV can be dangerous. There is a lot of violence. I don’t like them to watch too much TV. We like it when the children can be creative, when they play and paint.” Eating: “Our children eat well. They eat what is put on the table. If they don’t like it, tough, there is nothing else! When they are well behaved, they get ice cream!

    Are you sure these are Heidi? Its her. You spotted the differences so well with the pic I posted last week, Yellowstar but compare to the commercial: MjAtauras pics have different socks; different guitar; shorter, stubbier fingers (Heidi's fingers are longer and more slender); almost a double chin in the last pic, and I don't think that's Heidi's nose either. I think it's an imposter.

    http://sev.prnewswire.com/telecommunicatio...23042009-1.html SAN DIEGO, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc. (LG Mobile Phones) today announced an exclusive partnership with fashion icon Heidi Klum to promote the LG Rumor2 phone and the idea that mobile phones have become an expression of personal style. As part of the partnership, LG is unveiling personalized back plates for their recently released LG Rumor2, which is available exclusively through Sprint PCS. Heidi Klum, in her role as LG's Ambassador of Style, lent her expertise to design five back plates and skins that express her personal style. Like Heidi, consumers can express their individual style and unique personalities by customizing their LG Rumor2 phones. The partnership includes an advertising campaign, online webisodes, and a consumer promotion. The eight webisodes will be hosted by Heidi Klum and will live on http://www.lgrumor2.com. Here, aspiring fashionistas will have the opportunity to win a seat at Heidi's Style Council where they will design the next LG Rumor2 back plate. They will be judged on their creativity and design execution. The winner will have their design featured in the exclusive collection, alongside Heidi Klum's creations. "Our partnership with Heidi Klum is an indication of LG's leadership in style and self expression," said Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and marketing for LG Mobile Phones. "We are delighted to have Heidi share her vision and creative input. The Rumor2 is not about a one-style-fits-all approach, but about individual style." Consumers can win Heidi Klum's limited edition butterfly design back plate by logging onto http://www.lgrumor2.com. Additional Heidi Klum back plate skin designs are available for $9.95. For many consumers, mobile phones have become an extension of their personal expression. For those individuals, LG is offering an online interactive canvas to engage and inspire consumers to create their own Rumor2 skins to purchase. The LG Rumor2 print ad will launch on April 24th nationally. The ad features Heidi Klum painted with butterflies to match her own created black plate demonstrating how the phone is an extension of her personality. The ad will be featured in weekly magazines as well as fashion driven monthlies. Banner ads will also feature the image. To celebrate the partnership, Heidi will host an LG exclusive party later this month in Hollywood, CA to promote personal style and the LG Rumor2. Guests of the party will include stylists, fashionistas and celebrities who embody the essence of style and personal expression. The Rumor2 was launched in March of 2009 and available through Sprint network carriers. LG is proud to offer consumers the Rumor2, which is an updated version of one our most popular messaging devices, the Rumor.
