Do you need the term explained Reeyo, or are you objecting to it's usage?

:gocho:

Heidi doesn't seem like the kind of person to be that bothered by that term, classless though it may be...

She may even be complimented, considering she has no complaints towards people finding her sexy... :p

But then, who knows? ;)

In other news, Heidi has passed Kate Moss as the #2 highest paid model behind Gisele:

Gisele Bündchen tops the list by far, with estimated earnings of $35 million over the past twelve months. Heidi Klum's earnings are chump change by comparison, amounting to less than half of Bundchen's at $14 million. How did German übermodel Klum wrangle the number two spot?

"y virtue of not only her television success as host and executive producer of Bravo's (soon to be Lifetime's) Project Runway, and as the host of Germany's version of America's Next Top Model, but with a slew of campaigns and partnerships including ones with Diet Coke, Jordache and Mouawad jewelry. In her home country, there's new deals with McDonald's, ...Volkswagen ...and hair care giant Schwarzkopf."

1. Gisele Bundchen - $35 million

2. Heidi Klum - $14 million

3. Kate Moss - $7.5 million

4. Adriana Lima - $7 million

5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million

6. Karolina Kurkova - $5 million

Interview with Bankrate.com:

Fame & Fortune: Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum is the very epitome of a supermodel -- a tall, beautiful blonde with a stellar modeling career, a hit TV show and a successful jewelry line. But she's also a loving wife to pop singer Seal and mom to three young children.

Thrown into the modeling spotlight at age 18, the now 34-year-old top fashion model is surprisingly down to earth. Growing up in Bergisch Gladbach, a small city near Cologne, Germany, her dad, Gunther, worked for a cosmetics company and her mother, Erna, was a hairdresser.

After Klum submitted photos to a modeling competition, her career took off. She began in the high-powered world of European fashion, followed by a trip to the United States to establish a celebrated -- and profitable -- relationship with Victoria's Secret.

Klum really hit the big time in 1998, with the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, joining the ranks of Elle McPherson, Tyra Banks and Christie Brinkley.

Since then Klum has become a cottage industry unto herself. She increased her profile with hosting duties on "Germany's Next Top Model" and Bravo's "Project Runway." Klum also produces TV shows, hawks her jewelry collection on QVC and shoots various ad campaigns. She has parlayed her exotic good looks into a multimillion dollar industry.

Bankrate: Your family has grown within the last few years. Can you tell us your children's names and ages?

Heidi Klum: There's Leni, born May 4, 2004; Henry, born Sept. 12, 2005; and Johan, born Nov. 22, 2006. And that's it for now.

Bankrate: With three children, how do you juggle career with motherhood?

Heidi Klum: It's hard and amazing at the same time. I would not change it for anything in the world.

Bankrate: What are some of your most unique secrets for finding balance in your life?

Heidi Klum: To take time out for yourself so you can engage in an activity that you really enjoy. Another is to not neglect the romance in your life. Yet another is to wear pretty lingerie if you don't want to feel schlumpy. Still, finding time for romance is something that balances out my life. With us, we never lose sight of romance and having fun. We come from completely different upbringings, but I think that's what makes it all work so well.

Bankrate: What's your most prized possession?

Heidi Klum: My family, bar none. Material possession? I love all the gorgeous jewelry my very romantic and generous husband has given me.

Bankrate: What was your first big splurge after you got your first big paycheck?

Heidi Klum: I guess it was a nice apartment. When I first started modeling, I lived in a drafty, drippy, roach trap that was the absolute opposite of glamour. So I got a nicer apartment with the money I made in my first big check.

Bankrate: Do you set aside money for your children's college funds?

Heidi Klum: I'm a big planner. My kids are obviously a big priority in my life so I definitely plan, invest and save for their futures, whether it's for college or not.

Bankrate: Does having financial security make you feel a more powerful entity in your various businesses?

Heidi Klum: I think experience and more people knowing you and your products actually give you more power in this business. But having the financial security is also nice, but I don't know if it necessarily makes me feel more powerful. Being around my husband and children makes me feel more powerful as a woman. All the money in the world cannot make you happy.

Bankrate: What do you think is the difference between being a woman in Europe versus one in America?

Heidi Klum: Maybe Europeans are more relaxed about certain things like taking holiday or sunbathing topless, but there are plenty of relaxed and tightly wound people in both places, actually. It's hard to generalize. I've been living in the states for a long time now, but I still go to Europe frequently for work and to see family, so I experience both places.

Bankrate: Besides your modeling career, you have branched out into so many other areas ... such as designing jewelry for Mouawad, Birkenstock shoes and your own jewelry line, the Heidi Klum Collection.

Heidi Klum: My QVC line is going really well. I design jewelry but also the line includes shoes, wallpaper ... I also recently shot an ad campaign for Jordache. I was a little nervous at first because it was after I had my last child and I was naked on top, but I'm very happy with the photos.

Bankrate: What's your favorite piece of jewelry?

Heidi Klum: My all-time favorites are, of course, my wedding band and engagement ring. But I wear a lot of my own QVC jewelry, which isn't expensive. I recently celebrated the first anniversary of my signature collection. The last piece of jewelry I bought was when I went to India recently, so I picked up a few pieces there.

Bankrate: What was the best gift one of your kids ever gave you?

Heidi Klum: Their drawings, which decorate our fridge at home -- just like everyone else's.

Bankrate: What's a perfect day like for you?

Heidi Klum: Relaxing with the family, staying at home all day in PJs, cooking pancakes, swimming and hanging out in the garden. But I don't have enough of those days lately. I have been so busy, but it's all fun.

Rumor has it Heidi is on the cover of the new US Marie Claire.
