March 2, 201114 yr Here's part 2 of Heidi on The Ellen Degeneres Show, 1 March 2011 (I can't find the interview in the studio):
March 3, 201114 yr Heidi is on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter and talking about her deal with AOL. I've kept the good parts here. You can read the full article here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ceo-...ffington-163535 On the new cover of The Hollywood Reporter magazine with Huffington and new AOL partner Heidi Klum, Armstrong says, “We have a plan and we're executing as quickly as almost any company in our space." On the set of a photo shoot at a Los Angeles studio, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong settles into salesman mode, explaining how a strategy laser-focused on content will turn around his troubled Internet giant. He adjusts his sturdy 6-foot-4 frame and begins rattling off traffic figures, audience metrics and potential cost savings without so much as flinching. He'd willingly go on, but Heidi Klum -- one of AOL's newest celebrity acquisitions -- has come bounding out of her dressing room in impossibly high YSL heels and is already critiquing his look as though he were a contestant on Project Runway. She persuades him to remove his suit jacket, unbutton his dress shirt and shed the powder-blue Hermes tie. "Come on, you can't be too stiff," she chirps in her endearing German accent. "It's Hollywood." Then she turns to the photographer shooting the pair with AOL's newest executive, Arianna Huffington, for the cover of this magazine, "Are we cute?" She puckers her lips. "Are we Charlie's Angels cute?" [...] During the past eight months, even before his $315 million acquisition of the Huffington Post was announced Super Bowl Sunday, he has brokered content deals with everyone from Klum, Gisele Bundchen and the Jonas Brothers to Mark Burnett, Ben Silverman and Michael Eisner's Vuguru. AOL signed to cross-promote Ellen DeGeneres' site and will soon roll out a late-night video block featuring highlights from the podcasts of Kevin Smith, Adam Carolla and Kevin Pollak. Now, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively report that the company will add Queen Latifah to its roster. Beginning in the spring, she will produce and star in Web series about sports, entertainment and entrepreneurialism. Huffington, co-founder of the Huffington Post, will oversee this and the site's content. [...] Thus far, the deals have varied greatly, both in budget and structure (Klum will offer an entire site, Planet Heidi, with videos, blog entries and slide shows; Eisner's Vuguru will license at least six scripted series). Clift admits that this is all a work in progress as her team -- and the brands helping to finance its Hollywood productions -- gets a better sense for what users connect with online. [...] So why would someone of [Queen] Latifah's celebrity status bother with an industry -- and a company -- that's still emerging, particularly when she can connect directly with fans on such social media sites as Facebook and Twitter? Her answer is simple: AOL offers immediate scale (say what you will, it gets 15 million visitors to its homepage every day) and a major marketing tool for all things Latifah. She also says it allows a flexibility and level of creativity not always attainable through traditional production channels in film and TV. "It's great having a company that's supportive of doing the same kinds of things and looking to the future, as opposed to trying to hold on to how things were in the past," she says after a long day on set in Atlanta, where she's shooting the Warner Bros. film Joyful Noise. Although she'll produce these shows with the team at her production company Flavor Unit, the rapper, actress and longtime face of Cover Girl insists she'll have a regular role in at least the first three projects. "I'm kind of the Barbara Walters," she laughs. "I'll definitely float in and out." She is particularly excited about a sports-themed talk show for women that she has planned. In TV land, a show like that could take years to get off the ground; at AOL, it will be ready by summer. Klum says she's on board for many of the same reasons, noting that AOL offers her the potential to reach a far bigger audience than she ever could on one of her cable shows. AOL's homepage alone draws more than three times the weekly audience for her Lifetime series Project Runway. What's more, Klum's site is a mix of her ideas, tips and friends (stylists, interior designers and chefs) without the interference of network and studio bosses. "Sometimes television shows think too much about their ratings," she says. "I want to just do something that's right, that's me." Like Latifah, Klum will have her Runway production company, Full Picture, helping to feed the site with fresh content daily.

March 7, 201114 yr I has a sad. http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/whiz_I0h7pMENnvjJxdVMZGupIO Heidi Klum insists she didn't go commando at Elton John's AIDS Foundation Oscar viewing party and only pretended to take off her underwear to give to Jay Leno. The model and "Project Runway" star was seen wriggling out of her G-string before pretending to drop it in a bag for "The Tonight Show" correspondent Ross Mathews. But sources say Klum kept her underwear on, and the red thong inside the bag was planted by producers. Klum told us: "I was just goofing around with Ross. I was the face of Victoria's Secret -- I would never give my underwear away."

March 8, 201114 yr Heidi Klum Pranks Aroundhttp://www.okmagazine.com/2011/03/heidi-kl...ng-for-decades/Heidi Klum stars in Seriously Funny Kids, but making mischief is nothing new for the German supermodel.“I definitely had one friend who I always chatted with in high school,” she tells me at Diet Coke’s Capture the Flag game in support of The Heart Truth. “And a lot of the time, if we didn’t want to be in the classroom, we would talk even more and then they would make us sit outside, which we were aiming for [laughs], so we didn’t have to stay and we could do other things, so we were so loud they’d be like ‘Karen, Heidi … you guys can go outside.’”Still, she’s been the butt of jokes.“Well, I’ve been on Hidden Camera once before in Germany, actually, where I did a big press day in Germany, and it was like they have two or three rooms of cameras set up, so you go from room to room to room to room, and you do interviews with so many people. I had done probably five or six, and then I go into the next room, and they were all so strange. They were rude, and they were so slow, and I had a whole list of things that I still had to do.”She adds, “I had to sit behind this table, and every time I would start, they would interrupt me, so I would have to start again. And then they had these plants that they were moving around, and they’re like ‘hm, no-no, now this plant is in the way, so now we have to move this plant.’ I was like ‘what are you guys doing? Is this Hidden Camera or something?’ But when they start annoying you a little bit, they were clearly making it so long and people were waiting and they were like ‘we’ve gotta go, we’ve gotta go,’ and they were like ‘no, we have to do this interview.’ Every time I would start talking, they would interrupt me.”Lucky for Heidi, she was wise to their tricks.“It was funny, but I knew something was odd because no one is that rude and always interrupting you over and over and over again. I thought there was something fishy there.”Hm, how did she react when she found out for sure that it was all a joke?“I was laughing. I thought it was funny, but I smelled the stinking fish a little bit.”Heidi aims to bring awareness to Diet Coke’s Capture the Flag game in support of The Heart Truth.““It’s a very important program to educate women – and men – but mainly women,” she says. “I’ve been involved with the Heart Truth campaign and Diet Coke since the very beginning – four years ago. Every year, I’ve been spreading the news and telling women about heart disease and what you can do to change and better your life and hopefully have a longer life. Heart disease is still the number one killer of women in America. It’s more than all cancers put together. When you see the statistic of one in four women that dies of heart disease, it’s a very big number. One in every four women. It’s close to my heart. That sounds funny. It’s about the heart. And, it’s about women. I’m a woman, I have a mom, I have two daughters, and I want to educate people on eating right, exercising and doing something good for themselves.”Pick up the OK! on newsstands now for more on Heidi. The cover line is “Introducing Melissa Rycroft’s Baby Girl!”
