Great find Yellowstar!

sanja posted the cover, but here's the article from the September issue of Ocean Drive: (watch out - she swears! ) http://www.oceandrive.com/hybrid/features/cover/index.html The Heidi Chronicles by Laurie Brookins She strides into the West Hollywood studio looking like the quintessential California girl: blonde hair freshly washed and falling to her shoulders, her bronze skin free of any traces of makeup, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, her cell phone to her ear. This is no surfer chick, however, but rather someone who ranks high on the list of Germany’s finest exports, akin to beer and BMWs in the eyes of American males—and yet, for many reasons, Heidi Klum says she is very much an L.A. woman. “I don’t really want to travel if I don’t have to; it’s too difficult if you have kids,” Klum, a mother of three, says as she slips into the makeup chair. “But I’m very lucky in that I’m at that stage in my career when I don’t have to travel that much anymore. If someone can come to me, that’s what I would prefer. People usually don’t mind; everyone loves coming to L.A.” The crews willing to trek to Klum’s figurative doorstep indeed range in size from the half-dozen or so needed to shoot a magazine cover on up to high in the double digits, complete with trailers and generators, to shoot a live remote for Klum’s appearance on the shopping channel QVC to promote her eponymous jewelry collection, a lower-priced line similar in feel to the high-end collection she designs with fine jeweler Mouawad. “We sold 6,000 pairs of earrings in two minutes,” she reports of an appearance two weeks prior to this day’s shoot. “I love how [channels such as QVC] have changed the face of retail. Before you could only get great stuff if you lived in a major city, and people in rural areas didn’t have any exposure to designers. Now great makeup artists and designers like Michael come into your living room.” “Michael” is, of course, Michael Kors, who shares judging duties with Klum on Project Runway, the Bravo reality show that features fledgling fashion designers competing against one another for a top prize of funding and mentoring to launch their own collection. About to kick off its fourth season later this year (and up for an Emmy this month, the show’s third nomination, for Outstanding Reality Competition), Project Runway was a breakout hit for Bravo, having developed out of conversations Klum had with über- producer Harvey Weinstein, who was looking to sell a fashion-related show to the cable channel. “He didn’t know a lot about fashion at the time, so he wanted to brainstorm about ideas, and out of that we sold the concept to Bravo,” Klum explains. “All of a sudden you’re putting a vision that’s in your head into other people’s hands and they have to make it a reality, so that can be a little frightening. When it came out I was both excited and relieved, thinking, Okay, this is really good and really cool.” Now 34, Klum already was a household name, thanks to countless appearances within the catalog pages and on television commercials for lingerie megabrand Victoria’s Secret, but she says Project Runway raised her profile to another level. “It definitely broadened the awareness people had about me,” she says. “I was in a hardware store buying knobs for kitchen cabinets, and the guy in there was like, ‘Hey, you’re that girl!’ I’m sure he’d never opened a fashion magazine before. I’ve done thousands of commercials and shows like Access Hollywood, but when you’re on a show that people get really addicted to, it’s a whole other ball game.” “She has a charm that makes her beauty approachable to both men and women,” says Kors, who met Klum in the late ’90s at a casting call when he was overseeing design duties in the Paris House of Celine. I also ask him why she was ideal for Project Runway, and Kors doesn’t hesitate: “Runway experience, brains and a rocking bod make her the perfect host.” Andy Cohen, senior vice president of programming for Bravo and one of Project Runway’s executive producers, agrees. “Besides the fact that you simply can’t take your eyes off her, she’s fun and zesty,” he says. “On one hand, she’s the kind of person you see and you know you’re gonna have a good time with and you want to be friends with. Conversely, she’s so great at delivering her ‘auf Wiedersehen’ to the designers in a perfectly dramatic, intimidating way. What a unique combination.” Between Project Runway, Victoria’s Secret and her design duties—she also oversees a footwear line for Birkenstock—Klum herself has become something of a megabrand (she also hosts a highly rated show in her native country, Germany’s Next Top Model, based on Tyra Banks’ U.S. hit; for the German version, the two women share producing duties). The result? According to a July forbes.com report, Klum ranks number three on a list of top-earning supermodels; with estimated annual earnings of $8 million, she falls behind only Gisele Bündchen at $33 million and Kate Moss at $9 million. Yet Klum is the first to admit she had no clue such high-wattage moments would comprise her life when she won a 1992 modeling competition near her hometown of Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany. “Omigosh, I was so shy, I can’t believe they picked me,” she remembers. “They would ask me questions and I could hardly get the answer out; now, of course, you can’t shut me up.” Klum recently viewed footage from the contest, sent by her father from Germany for a documentary she is working on: “It’s 1992, so I have this huge Cindy Crawford hair,” she says with a laugh. “And when I won they gave me flowers, and the top prize was $300,000, which is a lot of money now but was huge then, and it’s so funny because I look like I don’t give a shit. It really was just because I was so incredibly shy.” After winning the contest Klum returned to school to study fashion design but decided a year later to try modeling full-time; she booked jobs in Hamburg, Paris and Milan before getting her first U.S. gig in Miami in 1993. She had already started working with Victoria’s Secret when she enjoyed another breakthrough in 1997, when she was the first German model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit Issue. “At the time there weren’t many German girls working, so people here saw me as someone really special or unique,” she says. “Now there are tons of girls from the Eastern Bloc.” Of course, there is another, far more prescient element in that 1992 videotape, one that would play a much more significant role in Klum’s future. “I didn’t remember this until I went back and watched the tape, but in the contest I walked the runway to my husband’s music; the song was ‘Crazy,’ ” she says of Seal’s 1991 hit. The couple began dating in 2004 and married in 2005 on a Mexican beach; they have two sons, Johan and Henry, as well as a daughter, Leni, from Klum’s former relationship with Formula 1 manager Flavio Briatore. Ultimately it is the life that Klum has made with Seal and their three children that has her bound to down-to-earth style in Los Angeles. “What’s fun about my life is the ability to do something like go to the MTV Awards in a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli dress, but I don’t want that to be my whole life,” she says. “I love doing the normal mommy stuff, rolling around in the garden with the kids. I’m happy when I’m doing the things that I’ve worked to achieve for so long, but if I had to choose between work and family? No contest.” And with that, hair and makeup complete, a newly glam Klum is ready for photography. She might be eager to jump back in the jeans and get back to the kids, but you’d never know it from her effortless work on a photo-shoot set. “I absolutely love what I do and love that every day is different,” she says. “One day might be a photo studio for the Victoria’s Secret Christmas catalog, while another day might be a beach in Cannes.” The once shy girl thinks a moment before adding, “You never lose sight of being very appreciative of that.”

So Heidi Klum isn't famous? Or is there some scandal I don't know about? Julia Roberts was once the highest paid actress in Hollywood. Name one scandal she was a part of. Tiger Woods is the most famous golfer and one of the most famous athletes in the world. What scandals made him famous? What about Jay Leno? He's a well known comedian around the world that has yet to be involved in scandal. I can keep coming up with more examples if you like...

LQ version of the Arena cover without the words:

These were from a shoot for the The Independent (UK) earlier this year.

Found these from last year's Esquire shoot that didn't make it into the magazine. I hope HQ versions exist somewhere.

I have no idea where you could find Vs. They only print two issues a year and it's from Sweden. Sounds pretty tough to get in the US.

I found this: http://www.vspublications.com/

Lots of news on Heidi's website: Watch me on QVC on October 1st and 2nd I'm excited to announce my fourth appearance on QVC beginning on Monday, October 1st at 11:00 PM. I will be introducing a never-before-seen piece inspired by one of my Red Carpet designs. It will be the Today's Special Value on Tuesday, October 2nd so make sure to tune in. Project Runway Season Premiere-November 14th Watch the new season of Project Runway beginning Wednesday, November 14th, only on Bravo (check your local listings). I consider it to be our best season yet! Me by Rankin in Vs. Magazine Check out the new Autumn/Winter issue of the European magazine Vs. There is a really gorgeous set of photographs shot by the amazingly talented Rankin

I don't know if that's true, but this was in People magazine: Her husband, musician Seal, also chips in around the house, whipping up traditional English breakfasts of eggs and beans. And they take time for each other, keeping the romance alive – aided by her tight-fitting jeans. "He always does a butt check," says Klum, who returns the favor. "I like him in jeans. I like him in anything. I like him without anything." Which almost makes it obvious how they keep their relationship hot. Says Seal: "It keeps itself hot."

From the Times Online (UK): Uber blonde Multimillion-pound modelling contracts, Emmy nominations, a hot husband, a brood of kids – where did it all go right for Heidi Klum Derek Blasberg If the frequency with which her megawatt mug peered out from magazine covers around the world is any indication, last month was a good one for Heidi Klum. From men’s mags such as Arena, on the cover of which she saucily flaunted some upper-bum cleavage in a teeny-weeny bathing costume, to the New York-based high-society bible Town & Country, in which she smiled sweetly in a pink Dior by John Galliano evening gown, Klum has been everywhere this summer. The tabloids chronicled her afternoon strolls in Los Angeles parks with her husband, Seal, and their three children. Entertainment Weekly, in the States, welcomed another instalment of Project Runway, her reality-television designers’ competition, for which she has earned an Emmy nomination. And, at 34, she has never been more in demand. Last year, she was the third-highest-paid model in the world, according to Forbes, behind Gisele and Kate Moss. For her latest trick, she is modelling handbags for the high-street accessories brand Accessorize. On set at the shoot, Klum’s mother – wearing rolled-up jeans, a T-shirt and a pair of Birkenstocks (from her daughter’s collaboration with the company) – shows up with Klum’s youngest child, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, born in November. “How’s my little bunny?” Klum chirps in slightly German-accented babyspeak, drowning the buggy in her blonde locks. “What a cute bunny.” After numerous calls from the Accessorize people regarding what could and couldn’t be discussed with Klum (“no personal questions at all”), it’s a surprise when Klum puts her baby’s feet in her mouth before recounting, on the record, the stroll she took with her husband through downtown Manhattan yesterday. It’s almost shocking when, during the break for lunch (“I wonder if they brought this schnitzel in for me,” she teases, taking a hearty chunk of fried mystery meat off the catering buffet), she chats freely about her three children. You have to admit it’s charming. To the cast and the crew, and in the pictures that are taken today, Klum emerges – as Michael Kors, the American fashion designer and her fellow judge on Project Runway, puts it – as a beguiling and witty “bombshell next door”. Which brings us to the question many found themselves asking this summer, as the model stared out from the covers of their glossy beach reading: how has this bubbly, busty sometime blonde stayed relevant for quite so long? Is it her ever-ready smile? The curvy figure? Sheer photogenics? Does it have something to do with her outgoing sense of humour? Or her willingness to do anything for a good picture (like clutching a pillow to her crotch for the Arena shoot) and a good time (she wore a giant apple costume to her Hallowe’en party last year, requiring her to arrive in an open-top car because she couldn't fit in a limo)? According to Kors, it’s down to her ability to play normal. “Only in your wildest dreams does the girl next door look like her,” he says, “but her personality makes you think that indeed she does live next door.” Klum’s supermodel package certainly seems to contain more than, as one former model agent put it a few years back, “a talentless German sausage”. Douglas Perrett, a casting director in New York (who blogs about models on his site, www.coacd.blogspot.com), agrees. “The model life span today is hardly three months, let alone three years,” he says. “But Heidi filled out $10 bras and panties for Victoria’s Secret, and – boom! – endorsement deals and brand power. Now she is doing television deals, magazine covers, editorial and runway.” While the foundations of the Klum package are built on a big smile and an even bigger chest, that’s just the start. She’s a consummate multitasker, what the designer Zac Posen calls a “prototypical powerhouse woman”. She models (her deal with Victoria’s Secret is reportedly worth £12.6m), she presents (Project Runway is in its fourth season, and she hosts Germany’s Next Top Model) and she runs design projects (there’s the jewellery line and the Birkenstock collection). She also manages to raise her kids and keep up a phenomenal social schedule. After a string of high-profile musician boyfriends, she had her first child with the Euro-playboy and Formula One boss Flavio Briatore. Then she fell in love with the soulful crooner Seal, and popped out two more kids. Fact is, Klum comes from the supermodel generation of girls who wanted to be just as loud as the clothes they were wearing. Some may discount what she actually says, but few will argue with her work ethic. The thing that keeps Heidi Klum in the minds of readers, writers, advertisers and editors is Heidi Klum herself – that big ol’ Heidi package – and she knows it. The next phase of Klum’s life will keep her legend alive. “Being a mother has changed my life completely,” she says at the shoot, alternately cutting into her schnitzel and looking at herself intently in the mirror, making sure her new fringe is in place and the fried food hasn’t smudged her lip liner. “Before, it was all about me. Now it’s about the children.” In contrast to her old model-on-the-go lifestyle, Klum prefers to keep her schedule in check. “I try to stay in one place and make everyone come to me,” she chirps. “Like, my agent called and said he had a job in Australia that’s really good money. But I don’t care. I don’t want to go. I have to make a rhythm for my children here and in LA.” While she’s happy to be voluble about her children, she’s more secretive on the subject of Seal. All she’ll offer is “I met him three and a half years ago” and “My husband is always gorgeous”. Presumably, that applies to the time she dressed him in drag, as a biblical Eve to her forbidden apple for Hallowe’en. Further inquiries about him provide briefer answers. Summer plans? “Going on holiday with my husband, just the two of us.” Where? “I’m not telling you.” Well, will it be hot or cold? “Just somewhere amazing.” The final facet of the Klum package is business, or what Kyle Hagler, her booker at the IMG agency in New York, likes to call, in his American way, her “never diva-like ultimate professionalism”. Klum doesn’t disagree. “It’s important to know what you’re putting your name on,” she says. “I think that’s why things I’ve done have been so successful. If it’s not real, then it won’t be good.” She admits that when she first signed on to do this campaign, she “wasn’t too familiar with Accessorize”, but by the end of the shoot, she is managing a convincing job of selling the products, even insisting to Hagler that a small hat be added to her contract (“It would be so good for this 40th-birthday party I’m going to”), as well as a bag she lent her name to, but didn't help to design. After she has gone through every pose – from reclining on a fake-fur rug with a handbag on her bosom to kneeling in a floppy hat – the modelling industry’s renaissance woman says she needs to get back to her babies. But before she goes, she makes it clear – in case we were wondering – how unlikely it is that this gorgeous girl next door will be taking her focus off the worlds of fashion and entertainment any time soon. Draped seductively in a director’s chair, she fixes me with those hazel eyes and says, enthusiastically but sternly: “I have more ideas for TV shows.” Then, turning around and surveying her domain, she adds: “I think that the entertainment world is my thing. It’s been my lime-green convertible Bug’ good to me so far.”

Thanks again sanja!

If you think need to look like a celebrity or copy what celebrities do to try to be attractive, I'm sure you will end up being disappointed. Not everyone can afford to hire a personal trainer - just like not everyone can be 5'11'' and weigh 115 lbs with 36-24-36 measurements. If you realize you can be just as attractive being yourself and not trying to live up to someone else's standard, you can be quite happy and you don't have to pay attention to this at all.

Don't just throw rocks at him. Hit him with a bat or a stick or a fish :trout: Chase after him with a rolling pin :persuazn: Use your ninja skills to take him down :knives: :jimmy: Punch his lights out :lullaby: Or stick him in a voodoo curse :voodoo: (Just for the record - I don't think Heidi looking like a porn star is such a bad thing. Heidi looking sexy in a naughty way is still sexy to me. I take Sam's comment as a compliment.)
