October 9, 201311 yr Red Carpet Confidential http://okmagazine.com/get-scoop/red-carpet-confidential-why-heidi-klum-doesnt-let-her-kids-watch-tv/ Heidi Klum is determined to make her kids independent. The America’s Got Talent judge and Project Runway host, 43, is a single mom to Leni (pronounced Lainie), 9, Henry, 8, Johan, 6, and Lou, who turns four tomorrow. Heidi was more than happy to talk about her parenting procedures during her Truly Scrumptious Babies R Us fashion show at Kids Fashion Week in NYC. During the show, a music-box rendition of Aerosmith’s Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing and Icona Pop’s I Don’t Care played as kids decked out in adorable clothes, like a rainbow-colored faux fur jacket, gold lame coat and elf pajamas, strutted their stuff. Many of the kids wore balloon hats and face paint. So cute! As for Heidi’s own kids? “They don’t watch a lot of television,” the supermodel admits. “I’m old-fashioned, and I feel like technology ran away with everything. I don’t believe in setting your kids in front of something, always. I think that they have to do things with their hands and they have to get dirty, and they should be outside, play with the dogs, or think of something to do.” Heidi believes that getting out of the house opens horizons. “I don’t think it’s good to always think for them,” she says. “When I grew up, I was outside, and you think about what you’re going to do, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out what you want to do.” What do Heidi’s kids want to be when they grow up? “I haven’t pushed them [into the modeling world],” she says. “I’m quite happy that they haven’t asked me to do this. Not that I have anything against it, but because I’m in it, I know a lot about it. They have different interests.” She adds, “My daughter Leni is here today. She’s excited to be at a fashion show. I flew with her here this morning from L.A. She wants to do something with animals. She loves animals, and she wants to help animals.” With four growing children, two television shows and many successful business ventures, how does she do it all? “If you love what you do, you’ll always find the time,” she says. “And then also, you don’t need a lot of time. I don’t sit at home and wrack my brain, like ‘oh my gosh, I have to come up with something.’ They can’t keep up with the ideas that I have! Sometimes I’ll see someone walking down the street, and I have to take a photo of a certain something that they have going on, that is a new brand or something that I see in Europe someone wear.” She adds, “I saw this one girl wearing a hoodie with the shoulders cut out. It was so cool! Maybe years down the line, I’ll incorporate it.”

October 16, 201311 yr From Parade Magazine (15 October 2013): http://www.parade.com/212484/iraphael/heidi-klum-id-rather-stay-home-than-go-out-in-an-uninspired-halloween-costume/ 'I’d Rather Stay Home Than Go Out in an Uninspired Halloween Costume'When it comes to over-the-top Halloween costumes, nobody does it better than Heidi Klum. From Cleopatra to Betty Boop, the supermodel has worked her connections in the biz (make-up artists, designers) to create the most stunning ensembles for her annual Halloween party. Although she’s staying mum on what she’ll be dressing up as this year, she did talk to Parade.com about tips for how you can create the most amazing and enviable Halloween costume. She also dished on this season of Project Runway and her new holiday collection for Babies“R”Us. You always have the most incredible Halloween costumes. How do you come up with new ideas every year? “I start thinking of ideas months before Halloween, and I have an amazing team who makes the impossible possible. I don’t really have a system for picking my costume each year, they kind of just come to me. It’s definitely not a last-minute decision. It takes months of preparation.” Have you ever had costume-envy? “No. I want people to strive to have a better costume than me. I want my guests to really wow me! It’s so much fun when I’m looking at someone in their costume and it takes me a few minutes to figure out it is one of my closest friends!” What would be your ‘made-in-5-minutes-or-less’ costume suggestion for those of us who wait to the last minute every Halloween? “I take Halloween very seriously, so I’m not a fan of a thrown together costume, but in an absolute pinch, look around at what items you have around your house. You’d be surprised what you can come up with. Or cut two holes in a bed sheet and be a ghost. But seriously, I’d rather stay home than go out in an uninspired costume.” Do you have any fall family traditions? Maybe something you did growing up in Germany? “We make pomanders. You take oranges and poke small holes into them with a pin and then put cloves into the holes (see photo to the left). It makes a room smell delicious, and it makes a really lovely centerpiece.” You have just showcased a new holiday collection, “Truly Scrumptious” for Babies”R”Us, as a part of Kids Fashion Week. Were you inspired by your own kids’ style? “Definitely! I have four kids ranging in age from 4-9 and they all have very different personalities, but all of them like color and patterns. When I design, I try to always incorporate color and whimsey. Kids clothing should be fun and comfy! I always try to add for special touches and extra sparkles!” What tips do you have for parents of budding fashionistas? “Let your kids have fun and let them experiment with fashion—even if they may look a bit ridiculous. If they want to wear a tutu out one day, let them! I really believe that style is a reflection of one’s personality and everyone should be able to wear whatever they feel comfortable in. There should be no rules with fashion, especially children’s fashion.” We are down to the wire on Project Runway with Fashion Week just around the corner. Are you happy with who is left in competition? Is there a clear winner for you? “Season 12 of Project Runway was such an amazing season. I don’t think we have ever seen so many talented designers. It was honestly very tricky to have a favorite this time around. It seems that every year, we find more and more talented people out there. The finale is October 17, so you’ll have to watch and see.” How has Tim Gunn in the judges seat affected the decision-making this season? “Our fans always ask for ‘more Tim Gunn,’ so we listened to them! Not only is Tim so nice and funny, but he also has a one of a kind perspective that is invaluable for Zac, Nina, and I at judging. Tim is with the designers in the workroom and can advise us on what is happening behind the scenes. Since he is merely watching the show from our chairs and not actual casting a vote, it keeps the integrity of the relationship that he and the designers share, which is one of the backbones of our show.” Are we going to see more of you as Ulee Danssen on Parks and Recreation? “I had such a fun time guest starring on Parks and Recreation, but it was a one-time thing! I was literally in awe on the set. My scene was with Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, and Adam Scott and they just had me laughing and laughing on set. I was a bit nervous, but they were very welcoming and helpful, and my character had a statue of herself made of actual goat cheese, so that was pretty cool! But, you never know — maybe Leslie Knope takes a trip to Denmark!” Look out for photos from Heidi Klum’s 14th Annual Halloween Party at Marquee New York sponsored by SVEDKA Vodka and smartwater, presented by Shutterfly – on October 31.

October 27, 201311 yr Hopefully Heidi will feel better and be able to make it to her Halloween party: :shock: :notsure: Heidi Klum ‘no-show’ at Digital Fashion Week 2013 previewGerman-American model and television host Heidi Klum was hospitalised and couldn’t make the preview event of Digital Fashion Week 2013 Fans and invited guests waited and waited on Sunday afternoon for Heidi Klum's much anticipated appearance in Singapore, through an event co-organised with Digital Fashion Week. Alas, it was not meant to be — the model-television host was stuck in her sickbed for the weekend. At the October 27, 2013, invite-only preview for Digital Fashion Week 2013, Klum was said to have “wanted to be here” but was advised against it by her doctors, said one of the event hosts. The cause of her illness was not disclosed. The news was confirmed by Digital Fashion Week, who said that Klum is currently hospitalised in Singapore. The German-American supermodel was originally scheduled to return to Germany on October 30, after a five-day visit to Singapore. Food blogger Charleen Neo, 24, was among the invited guests and was one of many disappointed fans who had expected to see Klum in-person. “I have seen Heidi Klum host Germany’s Next Top Model on television,” said Neo. “The preview is really not the same without her. It’s such a pity to have missed seeing her today!” http://www.herworldplus.com/celebs-men-sex/celebs/heidi-klum-no-show-digital-fashion-week-2013-preview
