Heidi Klum Makes Dazzling Return To The Catwalk

10 NOVEMBER 2005

Just two months after the birth of her son, new mum Heidi Klum is back on the catwalk, showing off a figure that will be the envy of women everywhere. At the Victoria's Secret lingerie show the German model provoked gasps of admiration as she appeared in a series of skimpy outfits.

Her runway companions included Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen, who stepped out wearing a bejewelled red bra and tiny skirt with a huge bow, as well as Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. Now in its tenth year, the annual lingerie show is one of the fashion calendar's hottest tickets, famed for its high-profile models and glitzy production.

To lose the post-pregnancy pounds, Heidi got back to her hectic schedule as soon as possible after the birth of her son Henry. "If I just keep eating well and running around after two kids, it will all be fine," she said in an interview just after the birth.

Meanwhile the mother of two has been training with a top New York fitness guru for two hours a day, for the past two weeks. Although the results are stunning, the blonde beauty has admitted it hasn't been easy. "I wish I could just write a cheque to somebody and somebody else could do it for me," she said.

The highlight of the extravaganza came when Heidi, wearing a lit-up Swarovski-beaded bra and a pair of angel's wings, was joined on stage by hubby Seal. In a sweet show of affection, the couple blew each other kisses.

I do think she looked better with her natural coloured hair, though. Now she's wayyy too blonde!

The supermodel mom is back with a new season of Project Runway

Raising two kids younger than 2 isn't easy. But Heidi Klum has a secret weapon: husband Seal, who can change a mean diaper. "Sometimes he's better at that than I am," the supermodel – and mom to 2-month-old Henry and daughter Leni, 1 – says with a laugh. The German catwalker, 32, needs all the help she can get. Just weeks after giving birth, she walked the runway in the Victoria's Secret lingerie show (which airs on CBS on Dec. 6) and she's hosting the second season of her Emmy-nominated Bravo show Project Runway, premiering Dec. 7. Klum talked with PEOPLE about juggling career and family and sitting in the judging seat.

How are you balancing work and caring for two babies?
It is challenging, it's hard. I didn't really want to go back to work. I just want to stay at home. The weeks that I had off when I had Henry, that time just flew by. I never had off that much time – only when I had my daughter. But it's really about scheduling and having a great mom – my mom helps a lot – and a great husband. I have great help around me.

Seal clearly he has a lot of patience.
I think that's why we're very attracted to each other. I'm very much the Speedy Gonzalez – I do a thousand things. When we go, I pack the bags in 10 minutes – I have this bottle, that bottle, diapers. I put the car seat in and the stroller's already in the back. He's still talking to Henry or putting a clip in Leni's hair. It takes longer for him, but I love that – he really takes his time.

Are you already seeing a difference between Henry and Leni's temperaments?
Boys eat so much more than girls do. His voice is very manly when he screams. His head was already up when he was born. Leni was two or three months when she could lift her head. The first day, people thought we were lying but we were like, "No, his head is already up."

What do you see of Seal in your son?
Right now it's really just the looks. Everyone who sees him says, "Oh my god, he looks just like Seal." And I'm like, "He has nothing of me? C'mon, there must be something of me in there somewhere." And they're like, "No, sorry, he looks just like his father." I'm a little sad about that. (Laughs)

You were back on the red carpet at the Emmys six days after you had Henry. How did you muster up the energy to do that?
The energy was not the problem – I always have energy. I was full of energy after I had Henry. I'm very fortunate that way. For me the pregnancy was perfect, the birth was great – I had a great time with it. A lot of people aren't as fortunate. I didn't want to miss being nominated for an Emmy for the first time I did a TV show in America. It was huge. Also, I didn't stay out and party. I was there for the show and I went home.

Tell me about this season of Project Runway.
I have to say that the second time around it is much easier to get a lot of people to participate. We had a lot of people knocking on the door wanting to be judges. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia from Elle will be there again. Our 16 designers are a crazy, different bunch.

And the first season's winner, Jay McCaroll, is also a judge.
He is – he's very snippy. I was very surprised – shy little Jay has turned into quite a character himself. Good for him – he deserves it. It's amazing how some of the Project Runway people have become little stars. I was just doing a small thing in a movie and I was speaking to Meryl Streep and she's a huge fan of the show. She was like, "I love Austin Scarlett, he's amazing!" I'm very proud of that.

On the show you get to evaluate people, rather that being evaluated as model. Is that fun for you?
Even though I'm a model, I get to wear and pick a lot of outfits when I do a photo shoot, when I'm on the red carpet. I try to pick pieces that are interesting. You always look for unique things from a new designer. I throw the ball at them, how does the ball come back to me? Is it interesting or is it just a random, boring, play-it-safe thing? Who wants that?

You also have some design projects of your own – a line of jewelry and Birkenstocks.
This year I put a lot of Seal's lyrics into the shoes, which I wrote on myself. They came out really, really cool.

Would you ever think of doing a duet with your husband?
We sing all the time, just no one hears it. It's probably better that way.

The baby is beautiful.

Gorgeous, and she actually looks as though she is very involved with the childcare. I mean, she probably has a nanny, but definitely seems to spend lots of hands-on, non-glamourous time with her little ones. Good for her!

He's adorable! First time I've seen a photo of him.

Surveillance

* Is everything all right between Seal and Warner Bros. Records? Hanging out at Morton's in L.A., we recently overheard Heidi Klum's husband griping to Robbie Robertson: "If I can't give them a representation of what my songs will sound like with my acoustic guitar, then [bleep] them. I'm not going into the studio." Said Robertson: "You're absolutely right, man." Reps for the label and Seal swear everybody's getting along fine …

Heidi Klum got an "Unforgettable" serenade from husband Seal during their first-anniversary party at the beachfront bar Cocodrilla in Costa Careyes, Mexico, where the couple tied the knot last year. After a mariachi group and a Cuban band played, Seal crooned the romantic Nat King Cole song, among others, to a visibly touched Klum as 25 family members and friends looked on.

"Heidi said, 'Encore! Encore! One more time!,' " an observer tells us. "He sang four or five songs, including 'Mona Lisa.' She was very happy." While Klum and Seal mingled with their loved ones (including kids Leni, 2, and 8-month-old Henry), sipped margaritas and mango daiquiris, and nibbled on finger foods like spring rolls, olives, and veggies, they also carved out some special couple time. "They were flirting all night," says our insider.

Heidi and Mom walk in NYC

I know there are some dang fools out there who do not approve of this marriage, but I say that if all of us could have as wonderful of a man as Seal seems to be, there would be a lot of very happy women out there.

The way he took Heidi's daughter and treated her as his own from the very beginning was so incredibly moving to me. Photos of him holding his son and feeding his daughter are some of the cutest I've ever seen. When he said this is his second child, he won the hearts of millions of women. He is a wonderful singer...and a beautiful man, inside and outside....Seal ROCKS!!

And to top it off, he's damn nice to look at Saw him at Christmas benefit concert a few years ago, he's MUCH better looking in person.

A snap-happy Seal and wife Heidi Klum get a giggle out of 2-year-old daughter Leni during an outing in New York City on Thursday. Also in attendance during their stroll: Their 9-month-old son Henry as well as Klum's mom and dad.


I have to admit, this could be my fav celeb couple. So is the daddy of Heidi's first kid in the picture?? Who is he anyway??

The semen donor (sorry to be so drastic - but he needed a DNA to accept paternity) was Flavio Briatore, the managing director of Formula 1 car racing team Renault. He's been linked with Naomi more often than not, and Adriana Lima...

They weren't married, were they?? I take it he's not in the picture at all? That kid is cute (and I am NOT a kid person!!).

What I remember of the whole thing is it looked like a summer fling for him, while Heidi seemed to see more in it. Anyway, when FB left her, Seal got together with her (or she with him?) - before Leni was born - and apparently he has treated Leni as his daughter since taking her home from the hospital.


... and I think both kids are cute, being an autie and god-mother to several kids and liking it, most of the time...


No, I'm neither a HK nor a Seal fan, but somehow the four of them look great together.

I am totally neutral on Heidi but have been a Seal fan for over a decade. I considered her very lucky when I heard they hooked up. Just glad it appears to be working out very well for everyone!

Woah...Uhhh....Woah...the kid...uhhh....

from usmagazine.com:

Supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband, singer Seal, 43, are expecting their third child, a source close to the couple confirms to Us Weekly. The couple also have a son, Henry, 9 months, and a daughter, Leni, 2, from Klum’s previous relationship with race car driver Flavio Briatore.

“You’d never have known if you saw her at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards [on June 5],” says the source. “She’s just starting to show.” Klum, 33 — along with her family — are currently in NYC finishing up the latest installment of Project Runway, which debuts July 12 on Bravo.

“She’s in a really good place,” says the source. “She loves her family. She loves being a mom.” A rep for Klum had no comment.

Daaaayum....Again? Well...If my wife was Heidi Klum, I guess I would knock her up every five minutes as well.

SEAL & HENRY: When it comes to diaper duty for Henry (born Sept. 12), Seal is a pro: "Sometimes he's better at that than I am," says wife Heidi Klum.

'Runway' model's traffic tragedy

'Project Runway' model Jia Santos is still in the hospital after she was hit by a bus on the way to tape the hit Bravo reality show.

Season three of "Project Runway" premiered on Bravo last night, but a tragic accident marred the finale of the Heidi Klum show.

Designers compete for $100,000, a car and other prizes, while their model wins a spread in Elle magazine.

Hungarian model Jia Santos (whose real name is Eliza Jakubek), 18, became one of the three finalists. But near the end of taping, she was struck by a bus while riding her bike to the show's location in the city.

"She was dragged underneath the bus," her agent, Avenue Models' Javier Hernandez, told us yesterday. "She fractured her skull and her eye socket and was in critical condition for three days. Now she has been in intensive care for a month."

Her first words upon waking up, Hernandez tells us, were: "Am I still on 'Project Runway'?"

Santos still appears in the show, and her accident is explained during the finale. Hernandez said she was modeling to support her parents in their Hungarian village.

"Everyone from the show has been really supportive and offered their help to get her parents a visa to visit her in the hospital and work on a benefit for her," he said.

Getting 'Runway' airborne

"Project Runway" dominatrix Heidi Klum is a terrifying multitasker.

At Tuesday's launch party for the Bravo show's third season, the 33-year-old supermodel alternated between interviews in English and German, showed off her pregnant belly (her third child, the second with hubby Seal), hawked the discount jewelry she designed for QVC, and made funny faces for the cameras.

At the Buddha Bar bash, Klum vowed that she'll continue to host the reality show "as long as it's still fun and people want to see it." She told Lowdown: "There's a lot of people that we did not take on the show that were lined around the block."

Some of those people will apparently do anything to get their designs before Klum. "They give me cards and say, 'Oh, check this out,' or they give me T-shirts that they made, or they send stuff to my office. I do get things here and there."

Despite the many solicitations, she picked "Project Runway" judge Michael Kors to design her party dress.

THE PERFECT FIT
PageSix



July 14, 2006 -- SUPERMODEL Heidi Klum hates those elastic-waisted maternity jeans so much, she's commissioned custom-fit denims for each month of her pregnancy. The 4-months-along "Project Runway" host asked Earnest Sewn designer/owner Scott Morrison to make her skinny, tapered-leg jeans that she can wear until her baby is born. Klum recently stopped by the label's flagship store in the Meatpacking District, An Earnest Cut & Sew, and picked up a few pairs of jeans and four nautically inspired Rogues Gallery T-shirts for hubby Seal.

No water birth for Klum

Supermodel HEIDI KLUM has hit out at reports she is delivering her third child via water birth, insisting that she needs to give birth the traditional way.

The PROJECT RUNWAY host and husband SEAL, already have two children, LENI, 2 and HENRY, 10 months.

She explains, "No, I'm not into the water. I like it dry. I'm very German. It seems more controlled.

"I feel like if you're in the water and there's all this nastiness going on - I don't know, it's swimming all over the place...

"We don't want to get too visual, but I've been there. It gets very...different." (SS/WNVLEN/ES)

Heidi Klum inspects her baubles before an L.A. photo shoot for her new jewelry line on Friday. The Heidi Klum Collection incorporates the supermodel's favorite lucky charm – the clover – on each piece.

Heid Klum in the Buff

Heidi Klum is fully flaunting her pregnancy curves (her baby with husband Seal will join 10-month-old Henry Gunther and Leni, 2). At a Beverly Hills party to celebrate her in-the-buff appearance on the August cover of Jane magazine, Klum sported a sexy strapless J Mendel dress and Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos. "It was a lot of fun," she told us about baring it all for the issue. "I've done a lot of naked pictures – from being body-painted in Sports Illustrated to GQ."

The Project Runway star has been staying in shape by eating right (no dairy or processed carbs, lots of grains and greens) and practicing yoga. "The third time around, she really gets that the better she does now, the easier it will be later," her personal trainer David Kirsch told us at the fete.

SEXY MAMA

Heidi Klum gets a primping from fellow Victoria's Secret model Gisele Bundchen recently while filming a commercial in New York for the lingerie company's new Very Sexy Makeup line. Klum is expecting her third child later this year.

She's really pretty but she's got to be one of the most annoying interviews ever.

She acts like she's about 10 years old every time I've ever seen her on camera.

I can't stand her voice! It's like fingernails on a chalkboard!
