Heidi Klum - Host & Judge

Heidi Klum, 34, is a star of the fashion world. Having established herself as a top model, making great impact for such clients as Victoria's Secret and on the covers of such pop-culture mainstays as the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit" issue, Klum's career has taken many new directions. Klum's numerous ventures include self-designed collections for fine jeweler Mouawad (this line has recently extended to QVC) and popular shoe line Birkenstock.

Klum also hosts Germany's Next Top Model. She has a lifestyle book, "Body of Knowledge: 8 Rules of Model Behavior." Other ventures include best-selling European clothing, accessories, fragrance and beauty lines. Her latest beauty line in the U.S. will be launched on Guthy Ranker in late 2007. Her charity involvements include work on behalf of such organizations as the American Red Cross (as part of its ‘Celebrity Cabinet') and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Klum's website, Willkommen, is a destination for her many fans to keep up with her appearances and upcoming projects.

Klum's modeling career began in her hometown of Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, when she won a national model search. From this win, Klum was signed with an agency and since worked with many of the world's top fashion photographers including Sante D'Orazio, Patrick Demarchelier, Gilles Bensimon, Rankin, Matthew Ralston, Arthur Elgort, Walter Chin, Robert Erdmann, Marco Glaviano, Michael Thompson, Raymond Meier, Richard Burbridge, Mark Seliger, Wayne Mazur, Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel; been featured in all the top fashion & beauty magazines including "Vogue," "Elle," "Marie Claire," "Harper's Bazaar," "InStyle," "Jane," "ID," "W," "Cosmopolitan," "Glamour," "Mademoiselle," "Allure," "Esquire," "GQ," British "GQ" (for which she was named ‘Woman of the Year' twice in a row, normally reserved for men) French & British & German "Vogue," German "Elle," "Self," "Fitness," "Dutch," "New Woman" and "Grazia" magazines; and shot campaigns for clients including McDonalds, Tab Select (for which she has done a customized can design), Volkswagen, H&M, Nike, American Express, Target, Jordache, Express, Liz Claiborne, Lenscrafters, Siemens, Givenchy, Nine West, INC, Finesse, Braun (for which her legs were insured for over $2 million!) and the prestigious Pirelli calendar.

Klum is also well-known for her work with Victoria's Secret—one of her first big ‘breaks' as a model was to walk in Victoria's Secret runway show; since then, she has completed many campaigns for Victoria's Secret, being featured prominently in the company's world-famous catalogs, swim books and fashion shows and having worn the multi-million dollar jeweled holiday bras.

Klum's acting appearances have included ABC's Spin City, Miramax films Blow Dry and Ella Enchanted, and guest roles on HBO's The Life and Death of Peter Sellers as Ursula Andress and Sex and the City, among others. She has hosted various specials for MTV, TNT and CBS and even literally swam with sharks for an episode for Discovery Channel's popular ‘Shark Week.' She appeared as villainess scientist Katya Nadanova in the best-selling James Bond 007 videogame, Everything or Nothing.

On downtimes at shoots, Klum also cultivates her creative talents—sketching ideas for her jewelry and shoe lines, as well as crafting new ideas for her ever-developing businesses and interests.

News from Heidi's official website is that she has designed her own line of jewelry that she will be wearing during episodes of PR.

Her oldest son just turned two about two months ago and her youngest son will celebrate his first birthday a week after the premiere of season four. It would be great to see a CHILDREN'S WEAR challenge this year with the boys modeling the winning designs!

Heidi Klum named world's sexiest model

Friday, February 15th 2008, 1:15 PM

It's official: Heidi Klum is the sexiest woman on Earth.

Klum has been crowned No. 1 on the list of the world's Top 25 Sexiest Models, as compiled by the Web site, Models.com. The 34-year-old out-smoldered sex symbols ten years her junior, as much because of her killer business acumen as her killer looks. The supermodel they call "Heidi Inc." is the host of the reality TV series, "Project Runway," which has become a global franchise and has her own line of shoes, candy and jewelry. She's also one half of the industry's top celebrity married couple, having married singer Seal in 2005.

Gushed the Web site: "The icon they call Heidi Inc. is no mere sexy mortal this one, but a force of nature. All hail!"

Hmm...maybe the power is starting to go to her head...

Klum Says She Wants to Help Spears

Feb 17, 9:07 AM (ET)

HAMBURG, Germany (AP) - Heidi Klum wants to help Britney Spears. The 34-year-old model says she'd be willing to open her home to Spears while the troubled pop singer puts her life back together.

"She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months," said Klum, a mother of three who is married to the singer Seal and lives in Beverly Hills, Calif. "I would help set her straight."

"I am sorry when a young person gets thrown so off track," Klum said, according to a transcript of an interview that will be aired Monday night by the German broadcaster ARD. "She has, of course, lived an extremely wild life."

After more than a year of bizarre behavior and two stints in a psychiatric hospital this year, Spears was placed under a conservatorship by the Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner at the beginning of February. Conservatorships are established when a court determines that someone cannot take care of themselves or their affairs.

To hear Klum, the host of Bravo's "Project Runway," describe it, her own life seems like a fairy tale.

"I have never been as happy as I am today," Klum said. "I have found the man of my life and we have three great kids. They are all so different and fantastic that it really can't get better than this."

On the Net: Willkommen

Heidi, she doesn't need to be sent to bed without supper. She is bipolar, and has been either unmedicated or intentionally mismedicated for months. She needs treatment and counseling. Even Tim Gunn can't help her in this case...

Is she purposely trying to plant oddball stories in the press to keep people drawn into the last few episodes?

They're adorable.

OK, this one is just plain funny: Heidi appears on today's Ellen.

Heidi to Ellen: Gotta Love Them Balls

She was hilarious on Ellen.

[Arielflies]

Heidi was once again on Ellen yesterday and was once again hilarious. She wore a dress made out cotton materials dyed to resemble parts of the flag. As a new citizen, she was thrilled to vote this past election. She was on to hype her new makeup line with Victoria Secret and Ellen showed her Guitar Hero commercial clip where she rips off the man's white shirt and continues in sexy underwear.

No mention of Project Runway though Ellen did mention it to a subsequent guest (about how she was a fan.)

I wish the lawsuit would settle so PR could be mentioned - especially about a show time for season 6. I'm sure the design star wannabes are anxious to be revealed and then get on with their lives.
