"Models have a sell-by date!" - Heidi Klum

Modeling is a young person's game, they say. Except for those few supermodels who are able to land major modeling projects after 40, most models are just like foods that spoil after a certain age.

Heidi Klum expands this idea in the latest issue of InStyle magazine.


"Models have a sell-by date," says the 36-year-old German-born supermodel in her interview. Admitting that there are certain modeling jobs that she does not do anymore, Heidi Klum explains:

"Like the young, sexy, cute things for teenagers, or even 25-year-old girls. I go in a different bracket now."

And by different bracket, the supermodel means modeling for Victoria's Secret lingerie and other advertising campaigns while becoming an entrepreneur and TV personality all at the same time.

For instance, Heidi Klum joined "Project Runway" in 2004 as the reality show's host, judge and executive producer. Aside from her hosting and business career, she has also delved into acting and fashion designing while doing occasional works as an artist, writer, and singer.

Heidi Klum's success is best reflected in the 2009 Forbes magazine's survey of the world's top earning models which estimated the supermodel's income at $16 million.

And if a successful marriage life is also an essential part of Heidi Klum's new modeling bracket, she has emerged victorious.

After her marriage to British singer Seal in 2005, Heidi Klum is now a proud mother-of-four. She has recently changed her last name to "Samuel" for her husband.

Heidi Klum's achievements can become a standard for successful models in the 30s-40s bracket:

1. an enduring modeling career
2. expansion into television and film
3. a growing commercial enterprise
4. a rewarding side-business with personal hobbies and interests
5. successful marriage life

Wow! Heidi Klum's "different bracket" in modeling is more demanding than in the lower years. Naomi Campbell, better strike whilst the iron is hot!

Peek At The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will not air on television until December 1, but with the frenzy the annual show brings (especially from watching sexy models walking down the runway in lingerie), it is impossible to keep details away from the public until its airing on CBS next week.


Highlights of the show includes the big reveal of the Victoria's Secret Model Search finalists who catwalks along with the VS Angels, Heidi Klum who surprisingly walks down the runway instead of hosting the show as reported earlier, Chanel Iman strutting her sexy teen stuff as the newest girl on the block, and the hot number provided by Black Eyed Peas. The band features Fergie who equals the sexiness of the VS Angels with her slim body and super tight muscle toned thighs. Then of course, there's the tantalizing regular VS Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Marisa Miller, Doutzen Kroes, and Miranda Kerr.

For the spectacle, show stylist Charlotte Stockdale explains:

"We came up with the idea of this girl who lands from outer space in Paris. She gets on a train that comes to a halt in Pinkland, where pink girls get on and off. Then they go into this fairy-tale forest and little lady bugs and butterflies land on them and vines grow up on their clothes. Then, there's Tick-Tock Time; the wings in this section are based on clocks — there's one modeled after a pocket watch with metallic feathers. And she ends up in this regal realm of princess-ness, where the wings have Swarovski jewels and peacock feathers."

Two lucky girls from the VS model search have walked with the Angels during the fashion show, but only one of them will win a contract from the lingerie company. Since there's not much talk about them in the press, Victoria's Secret is probably keeping the details until the airing of the show on CBS next Tuesday.

Heidi Klum's Maternity Style

How to look stylish despite the baby bump? Learn some fashionable maternity style from Supermodel Heidi Klum who's now five months pregnant with her fourth child but reveals she doesn't go into maternity stores to buy clothes "appropriate" for pregos. Her secret: finding good shapes and cool tops.


"I love to be creative and find cute things in between," the supermodel shares in her recent magazine interview. “It’s about finding good shapes. Cool tops. Right now for example, I love the skinny pants and blousier tops, and then when I get bigger, I like to bring the form back to the body. Then I like to show it off.”


Heidi also tells that her favorite clothing item when she's pregnant is a black Balenciaga jeans: “They are super stretchy, and they are not very high, so you can kind of fit them under the belly. The bump on top can still grow.”

For everyday look, Heidi goes for lumberjacks and ripped jeans: "They are comfortable. I love over-sized t-shirts and jeans.”

Thanks Heidi! Preggy supermodel Gisele Bundchen might take some of your maternity style in the coming days.

Heidi Klum & Seal Renews Vows

Nothing can stop Supermodel Heidi Klum from renewing marriage vows with British singer Seal, not even swine flu.


Heidi and Seal were supposedly to hold their annual wedding anniversary in their beach house in Mexico but decided to stay in California because of the epidemic scare. It was a funky bash nonetheless as the celebrity couple renewed their vows in a white trash themed-wedding in Malibu.

Presided by an Elvis impersonator, the wacky wedding showed Heidi Klum in a lace and sequined top and cornrows, while Seal was dressed in a mullet-style wig and an American Flag jacket.

"After the ceremony, and as the sun set, Seal took care of Heidi and helped her put on black leather jacket so she would stay warm. Even with cornrows, Heidi looked stunning. Everyone was laughing and having good time," says a source.

April Fools Day Prank Features Heidi Klum And Other Celebrities

What’s the funnier way to celebrate April Fools Day than getting a good laugh from famous celebrities like Heidi Klum?


Yesterday, CBS celebrated April Fools Day by showing a prank special called “I Get That A Lot.” Hollywood celebrities including Heidi Klum, Jessica Simpson, and Jeff Probst perform mundane jobs and trick ordinary people in a case of supposed mistaken identity.

The prank show features supermodel and Project Runway host Heidi Klum working at the counter of a pizza shop, Jessica Simpson as an employee of a computer repair store, Survivor host Jeff Probst as the one running the cash register of a grocery store, rapper Ice-T becoming a shoe salesman, singer LeAnn Rimes working as a waitress at a Nashville diner, and host of Extra and Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew Mario Lopez selling hot dogs at a vending stand in New York City's Central Park.

Working ordinary jobs, these celebrities confuse customers who can't decide if it's the actual celebrity or an astonishing look-alike. When people confront them about being famous, they deny their true identity until everything becomes hilarious.

"I didn't wear makeup and I had my hair in a bun with a pencil in it. I got to be the pizza girl. I got to be someone I am normally not. I was quite rude to people. I would bite their pizza and give it to them. I would drop the dough on the floor, pick it up and use it,” Heidi Klum shares her experience.

Watch the prank show here featuring Heidi Klum and see if the elegant supermodel managed to make us laugh for April Fools Day:

Supermodels Gisele Bundchen And Heidi Klum Get Naked!

Supermodels Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum bare it all again – getting naked for magazine and photo shoots and show off their curvaceous supermodel physique.


While Gisele Bündchen has always posed semi-nude for lingerie and swimwear pictorials, her latest photo shoot for Vanity Fair did not require bikinis. On the cover of the magazine, the Brazilian beauty poses with silver jewelries as the satin dress falls on her hips.

Meanwhile, German Supermodel Heidi Klum sheds clothes to pose for celebrity photographer Russell James. Showing off her gorgeous body in a series of black and white photographs, the model mom’s naked pictorial will surely sell like hotcake on the coming issue of GQ Magazine Germany.

Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum are two of the hottest and most influential supermodels today. Now that they’re both making news for recent naked photo shoots could mean that other top fashion models will soon “follow suit.”

Is this the beginning of the naked supermodels trend?

Clueless Heidi Klum Asks, “Zero? What Size Zero?”

While people are debating over the existence of size zero in modeling, supermodel Heidi Klum seemed clueless to ask, “A size zero? I’ve never heard of that. That didn’t exist when I was growing up. When did that start? What does it mean? It means a person is not there, no? It makes no sense.”

The German model says that size zero simply doesn’t exists when ask about her opinion about the size zero debate. Size zero is the US dress size that is equivalent to UK’s dress size 4 and European’s size 32. It is the smallest size of a woman’s clothing, usually worn by slim runway models. It is actually designed for women who are excluded from standard vanity sizing. Because size zero is often associated with anorexic models and celebrities, it was incorrectly assumed to be designed to seriously thin women.

But no. The 35-year Heidi Klum, who has already established her name in the fashion industry, isn’t clueless to not knowing what size zero is. She simply doesn’t want to recognize size zero. While she was recently labeled as “too fat” for a runway model, she remained indifferent to the slimming pressures that the media expect from fashion models like her.

Aside from not recognizing size zero, Heidi Klum also tells the public that she would not have any plastic surgery: “I hope that when I reach 50 I look as good as Barbie does, but I don’t think I’d go for surgery. I think I'm going to get older with wrinkles – a few of them here and there.”

Heidi Klum And Kate Moss Respond To Weight-Gain Issues

Two of our hottest supermodels are on the hot seat these days for gaining weight. Heidi Klum is making wide news coverage for the “too-fat-for-a-runway-model” comment. Kate Moss, on the other hand, is paparazzi-favorite for pregnancy rumors. But how do these supermodels respond to the issues?


Fashion Designer Wolfgang Joop recently labeled Heidi Klum “too fat” when he said, “She is no runway model! Heidi Klum is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde – that is commercial!”

A day later, Heidi Klum, in all her supermodel poise (5'9.5'' and 130 pounds) replied “It’s a life where everyone can say what they want to say and everyone can have their opinion — that is his. In this business you have to be fit, but I always try to be a good role model and not too thin.”

Meanwhile, to put an end to pregnancy rumors, Kate Moss officially announced through New York Magazine that she just put on some weight.

"I am a woman now. It's true. Honestly, I've never worn a bra in my life. Ever! It's so awful, even my friends are phoning me up and saying, 'Are you pregnant?' And I'm like, 'No! I just put on a couple of pounds and they went in the right place.' Isn't that weird? Now I can fill a B-cup," she said.

Now that's classy responses to dowdy rumors. But really, Kate Moss should not blame her breast because it's actually her bloated belly that started the issue.


Know why people are seemingly obsessed with thin?

Heidi Kluminator Saves Designer Fashion

“In a world full of beauty, who will protect the beautiful?”


Heidi Klum saves the world of fashion as Kluminator in the four-part web series, “Spiked Heel: Supermodels Battle The Forces Of Evil.”

Modelinia, a style-centric site on the rise, has released the first episode of the series which stars two of today's hottest catwalk sensations, Heidi Klum and Coco Rocha.

Apparently, Heidi Klum perfectly fits the role of a fashion superhero. She's one of the most influential models to date – inspiring not just catwalk divas as a fashion spokesperson but also ordinary people as she changes costume to become a loving wife and mother at home.

Good thing Heidi Klum aka Kluminator still has time to save the... well, at least the designer fashion, for now. Otherwise, "People will be hurt -- and not just models. Real people, too!"

Heidi Klum Mercilessly Sues Jobless Man?

It's “People of Germany versus Heidi Klum!”



Germans are angry over supermodel Heidi Klum's heavy-handed approach of suing a jobless man who uses her photo for an advertisement.

Heinz Frank, a 45-year old unemployed butcher downloaded an image of Heidi Klum (as shown below) from the internet for a flier of a local dance in Chemnitz, Germany.

After learning that her image was used for business interest without her consent, Heidi Klum called on her lawyers to sue the butcher. She eventually won the case and has gained £2,000 for damages.

What's worst for the jobless butcher was that he did not know who the woman in the picture was: “I just though she looked nice and would be appealing on the advertising leaflet. It was all completely harmless.”

An honest mistake or not, it was not the issue now.

When people learned about the incident, they expressed sympathy for the man and Heidi Klum came under fire. People just couldn't understand why the top-earning supermodel with a Forbes-estimated annual income of £10 million did not give any consideration for the man who only gets £300 a month (when he was employed).

Because the poor butcher was unemployed and had no money to pay the millionaire supermodel, it was the German socialite and actress Jenny Elvers Elbertzhagen who paid the £2,000 for Heidi Klum.

“I read his story and just knew I had to help. He didn’t know it was her, didn’t make any money and I really do not understand why Heidi Klum has got all heated up over such a trifle,” says the actress.

Meanwhile, the jobless Mr. Frank was very grateful and has come to a realization: “It is nice to think that not all people in the world are like Heidi Klum.”

Heidi Klum Guitar Hero Video Commercial

The face of the new Guitar Hero: World Tour Video is not just any model but the Supermodel Heidi Klum who mesmerizes the viewers for a 30-second commercial spot.

She graces the launch of the game in UK by performing a parody of Tom Cruise's air guitar scenes from “Risky Business.”

The Guitar Hero: World Tour is the first game in the series to include drums and microphones in addition to the eponymous instrument. The video game series has already earned almost $2 billion since it's first release.

There are two versions of Heidi Klum's Guitar Hero video:

Family Friendly Version



Racy, Director's Version



“The next day I couldn't move anything. Then I had like a rug burn, for the wrong reasons, because I had to jump off the table and land on my knees with the guitar. It literally went for five hours straight, but it was fun,” says the supermodel of her experience in making the video.

Indeed, the guitar hero video commercial may be fun and/or sexy to view, but it is not simple play for the Supermodel Heidi Klum.

Heidi Klum Indian Goddess Kali Halloween Costume

Halloween is over. But not without news from celebrities who celebrated the 31st of October in their highly-recognized Halloween costumes. Supermodel Heidi Klum and her Indian goddess Kali Halloween costume is one image to remember.


Heidi Klum attended a Halloween party at New York’s 1 Oak on Friday. For this year's Halloween bash, the supermodel came dressed up as Indian goddess Kali.

Heidi Klum was proud of her Indian Goddess costume: “I loved it because she’s so mean and killed all these different people and (had) fingers hanging off (her) and little shrunken heads everywhere.”

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Hindu Alliance of India called the costume “denigrating.” According to the group, “Goddess Kali is highly revered in Hinduism and she is meant to be worshiped in temples and not to be used in clubs for publicity stunts or thrown around loosely for dramatic effects.”

After hearing back negative comments from Hindu leaders, looks like Heidi Klum herself is the one being frightened by her Indian Goddess Kali Halloween costume, after all.

Supermodel Heidi Klum Swim With Sharks

Take it from Supermodel Heidi Klum: If you want to be a stronger person, swim with sharks!

Well, this was not really how Heidi Klum meant it. In a recent documentary segment of Discovery Channel, the 35-year old supermodel swam in shark-infested water.

The 5' 9 ½'' supermodel was very inspired from the experience. She had long been afraid of sharks so it was natural for her not to get involved in the things that scares her. However, she was serious of conquering her fears. So when an opportunity came for the Supermodel Heidi Klum to swim with sharks, she faced her fears and emerged victorious.

The supermodel and host of on-going popular reality TV show “Project Runway” tells an international magazine, "I jumped into the water with 45 sharks without a cage in the Bahamas. That was a really good experience.”

Eventually, how the “Supermodel Heidi Klum swim with sharks” has made big news in the media. But as for swimming with sharks in order to become a better person, the German supermodel explains, "I'm not saying that everyone should swim with sharks, but sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow in order to learn something that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Then you know you can conquer your fears."

“Project Runway” Left The Network For A Lifetime!

The show that hooked a great number of fashion fans and style icons for five years has announced that “Project Runway” will be leaving the Bravo network.

Fans need not to worry, however, because Project Runway will be moving to Lifetime network.

The fifth season of the show, of which casting calls have been done in the late part of March, is set for a farewell series on Bravo on July 2008. Being the owner of Bravo, however, NBC has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the producers of Project Runway for breach of contract.

Amidst this turmoil, its unclear if the fifth season of the fashion-competition show will be aired by NBC. Take it from the management: “NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program, including the right to decide whether it is in the best interest of the company to continue to air the show under the proposed financial terms."

But if the show is moved for its sixth round success, then brace yourselves fans. As for the panelist and designer-mentor Tim Gunn, it will be business as usual as he decides who makes it to the top of the fashion competition. As for the German supermodel host Heidi Klum, she's got one piece of advice to suit the drama: fashion is about change.”
