Thanks to Reeyo, I have been able to translate the entire article:

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.

Over 55 million people leafed through it, admired Heidi, and made it the most sold "Swimsuit" issue of all time. Corporate brands, photographers and designers scrambled for the 1.76 meter tall German. It followed a breathtaking success story. The "Frauleinwunder" [superwoman], with her American fans, advanced to become one of the most important German businesswomen. She closed business deals with, among others, H & M, McDonald's, Diet Coke, Katjes, designed shoes, clothes and jewelry for Birkenstock, Otto and Mouawad, hosted and produced two successful TV-shows (Germany's Next Top Model and, in the USA, Project Runway), published a book and a CD, launched her own cosmetics and perfume series, and in 2007 promoted, with her second husband, the British pop singer Seal, Volkswagen.

"I inherited my business sense from my father, my good heart from my mother," declares Heidi Klum, her indefatigable creative joy that Forbes says earned her a winnings of 14 million dollars in 2008.

The dream career she has today came a little unusually. "I am shorter and heavier than most models, have a German butt from eating too many potatoes, and I get pimples more than other people." Overall, she gladly fills her belly, participates in gymnastics rather seldom, because she doesn't like sports very much, and she states that her breasts are 100% real, just as nature made them. "My man finds happiness with that. We want them to remain natural. Wrinkles are the same for me. Botox, to be clear, is okay, but it's not for me - it changes your whole look."

Heidi owes her self confidence, for the most part, to her upbringing. As the baby of the family, she grew up with her 10-years-older brother in Bergisch Gladbach, a suburb of Cologne, where "everyone knows everyone", and without any ado completed her Abitur [final exam to graduate high school]. "I was mostly good, never rebellious, maybe a little bored." Her parents raised her to be open-minded, but with clear boundaries; there were crazy parties for the children, she was allowed to put on her own makeup and have boyfriends, only hitchhiking on mopeds and drugs were absolutly taboo. "My family was really always there for me," and she proudly tells how her parents would let her take the car and sleep over at their weekend-house and hold costume parties where they wouldn't disturb their daughter, except in an emergency.

Just as caring, Heidi today looks after her three small children Leni, 5, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2, with her husband Seal in Los Angeles, where they live and soon will expand with their youngest addition. Seal met her, by the way, in a hotel lobby in New York in 2004, an immediate spark. 2005 followed with the romantic wedding on a beach in Mexico.

As we turn toward the theme of family, Heidi's emerald-green eyes flash. "Leni paints a lot, like I did at that time," she tells and gestures with her hand in the air. "And the kids love music like their Papa. Seal and I work from home so that we are always there for our children." About the question of what are the rules of the house, she promptly answers: "Good behavior, no playing in the living room, we eat only in the kitchen without the TV on and light no open candles. I'm afraid that our house will burn down." Since the spirited mother also has a fear of flying, she always carries her baby teeth in a leather pouch as a talisman when she travels, which is common knowledge, yet she does not want to talk about the dangers that come with a life in the public eye. "I have the feeling that I shouldn't make a big deal out of it."

Heidi Klum has learned a lesson for sure. Out of one of the small, plain girls from the village stands a self-assured woman with an unbiased view of herself that circles the globe. "I believe I have a healthy intelligence and common sense and therefore have no need for religion. And yes, I have gotten into politics in the meantime, which is part of becoming an adult - you shouldn't look at the world with the eyes of a child anymore. Politics must see to it that your food is nourishing," she heartily pleads. And whatever Heidi Klum's heart concerns, it ticks in the right place, given the numerous charity organizations that she supports.

On 1 June, Heidi has a birthday. The celebration means a barbecue with balloons in the garden, and she surely will find "something that glitters in a jewelry box with a poem from 'Schatzi' [lit. "treasure"]." Her biggest wish: a German shepherd that would be number two. Perhaps Seal will read this Vogue in time. Congratulations, Heidi!

Pregnant Heidi Klum opts for comfort over style as she enjoys a day with the kids

By Daily Mail Reporter

She may be one of the world's top supermodels, but pregnant Heidi Klum is refusing to follow the crowd of Hollywood mums opting for glamour over comfort.

Unlike her pal Victoria Beckham, who wears the highest of heels when out with her children, Heidi sensibly went for comfortable casualwear as she brought her kids to a playcentre in Los Angeles.

The German beauty, 35, is four months pregnant with her fourth child.

Comfy chic: Heidi Klum takes her fourth pregnancy in her stride in her checked shirt and jeans as she brings her children to a playcentre in Los Angeles

Spotted out in the Culver City district of LA on Saturday, Heidi's burgeoning baby bump was clearly visible under her blue and white checked shirt.

Having just entered her second trimester, Heidi is obviously still slim enough to fit into her skinny jeans, which she teamed with some studded flip-flops and a leather bag.

Heidi and her husband of four years, British singer Seal, are expecting their baby in October.

The couple have two sons together - Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, three, and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, two.

Seal is also step-father to Heidi's five-year-old daughter, Leni, whose biological father is Italian F1 boss and Queen Parks Rangers FC owner Flavio Briatore.

The singer started dating Heidi while she pregnant with Leni and considers the little girl his daughter. Briatore has no involvement in the child's life.

He previously asked the media to stop referring to Henry as his 'first' child, saying: 'Leni is my first child. Just like Henry I saw her take shape and move in Heidi's body. And I was present at her birth, too.'

Heidi admitted their fourth child hadn't been planned, but also insisted it hadn't been 'not planned' either.

She said: 'We were kind of leaving it open. We were always looking around the table and always thought one more would be nice.

'And we kind of took one baby at a time and every time we thought yeah, one more that's it.... But I think now it's the first time I feel like this is it.

'We'd be happy with either (sex). But it would be a lie if I said we all weren't hoping for a little girl - especially Leni, because she would love to have a little sister.'

Last week, the couple renewed their wedding vows in a 'white trash' themed wedding at a friend's Los Angeles home.

Expectant Heidi wore a hideous white lacy bridal gown and wore her hair in ill-advised braids, while Seal donned a mullet wig and American flag shirt.

The couple have frequently spoke of their wish for a large family and Heidi clearly loves being pregnant after having so many children in close succession.

After the birth of Johan two years ago, she told People magazine: 'We love that they will grow up close in age. This is what Seal and I have always wanted: a home filled with children's laughter.'

Heidi recently admitted she finds herself getting emotional over the smallest things with her children.

She said: 'I’m a tough woman, but when it comes to my kids, forget about it; I’m always in tears.'
