  • Heidi Klum Endures Body Cast as Part of Halloween Costume Creation

    Heidi Klum loves Halloween. For years she has managed to surprise and thrill fans with her incredibly creative costumes, and from the photos and video clips she has shared via Instagram, it looks like this year won’t disappoint.

    Sporting what appears to be a body cast, Heidi Klum is seen covered in some sort of plaster–from head to her knees–in a series of shots that have fans wondering exactly what the end result will be.

    “It’s almost time for my favorite holiday! Costume prep time with the team at @prorenfx Can’t wait for Halloween! ?” the Project Runway host captioned this first photo.

    Heidi Klum is blue, but definitely not sad, in this next shot.

    “So yucky but so worth it in the end ? #heidihalloween #heidiklumhalloween,” she captioned it.

    “Thanks @prorenfx team for making my crazy costume idea a reality ? #heidihalloween #heidiklumhalloween,” Heidi Klum captions this short video clip.

    This next clip might be considered a bit revealing by those who prefer to see Heidi Klum a bit more covered up. Fans will love it, however, as they know she is a huge fan of creative Halloween costumes.

    “Slime me up @prorenfx ? #heidihalloween #heidiklumhalloween,” she writes.

    Do you think you know what or whom Heidi Klum plans to be for Halloween? While her behind-the-scenes photos and video clips are exciting, they’re also rather mysterious, and they don’t seem to give her costume plans away.

    Would you dare to wager a guess on the end result?

  • Heidi Klum: Was She Channeling Big Bird or a Swiffer Duster on 2015 Emmys Red Carpet?

    Heidi Klum is drop dead gorgeous–but what was she wearing on the 2105 Emmys red carpet on Sunday?

    That’s apparently been a prominent question in the past day as people can’t quite fathom why the Project Runway host would dress herself in such an appalling get up.

    Some compared Heidi’s canary yellow sheer and lacy costume (you simply can’t look at this number and call it a dress or a gown) to a Swiffer duster. Others compared her look to that of Sesame Street’s Big Bird.

    Marie Claire reports that Heidi Klum looked like a canary.

    Then there was the description this Twitter user gave of Heidi Klum’s dress.

    The Tweets about Heidi Klum’s dress are endless. One says it looked like she was wearing a cross between an ice skating outfit and a tablecloth, while yet another said the dress resembled egg drop soup.

    Did you watch the 2015 Emmys? Did you see Heidi Klum’s yellow get up?

    How would you best describe that dress?

  • Heidi Klum: Too Much Skin Banned Her from Airport

    Heidi Klum modeled recently for a series of photographs advertising for Sharper Image. Some of these photos were destined for McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. When the company that manages the indoor advertising saw how little the America’s Got Talent judge and host of Project Runway was wearing, they banned the advertisement photos from appearing there.

    Fox News reports that the Las Vegas-based Alliance Airport Advertising determined the images were in violation of a Clark County code designed to protect families that pass through the airport.

    Airport spokeswoman Christine Crews confirmed that the initial set of black and white photos were banned. However she says a new set of photos, “amended” by Iconix Brand Group, which is Sharper Image’s ad firm, have been approved for use inside the airport. They will appear from January 3rd through January 9th–the same time frame during which the initial set of photos was scheduled to be on display.

    Iconix Brand Group said in a statement that it was shocked the initial ads featuring Heidi Klum were “banned in Las Vegas–of all places.” The company says even the initial photos were both “tasteful” and “beautiful.”

    It is kind of an oxymoron that in Las Vegas–where scantily clad women reign supreme–that photos of Heidi Klum were banned. Las Vegas has, in recent years, tried to cater to more of a family crowd. Perhaps Clark County created the code when families began taking their vacations in Las Vegas.

    How often do you suppose Heidi Klum has been told she is wearing too little clothing? It is far more likely that the former supermodel has been told numerous times throughout the years that she’s wearing way too much clothing instead.

  • Heidi Klum: Cooking in the Supermodel’s Home Is a Family Affair

    Heidi Klum loves to cook, and she is imparting that love on all four of the children she had with ex-husband Seal.

    “[My kids] cook everything with me. They barbecue with me, they chop with me. The little one washes,” the Project Runway host told Us Weekly during an event Thursday for the charity organization, God’s Love We Deliver, a non-profit group that provides meals for people who are too sick to cook for themselves.

    “Everyone has their part to do, because I think it’s important they see how food is made, how a dish is made,” said Klum. “A lot of younger people nowadays don’t know how to cook. No one taught them. So I think it’s important to teach that to them.”

    The 41-year-old German model has many other lessons she’s also teaching 10 year-old Leni, eight-year-old Henry, seven-year-old Johan, and four-year-old Lou.

    “My son Henry carved his name into the dining room table,” the America’s Got Talent host told Us. “I said, ‘What’s your favorite sports car?’ He said, ‘A Ferrari.’ So I said, ‘Well, imagine you had a Ferrari and I took a knife and wrote Heidi all over the hood.’ I’m like, ‘Think of all the pieces of furniture in the house as little Ferraris, OK?’ He got it.”

    Klum is also teaching her children about charitable gestures, such as donating unused toys or volunteering, as she does consistently for God’s Love We Deliver.

    “I’ve been helping for the last 10 years, because I think what they do is important,” Klum told Us.

    Joan Rivers was another supporter of the organization.

    “Joan brought love, compassion and humor to every delivery she made and every event she supported,” the organization wrote in a statement on its website. “Joan’s impact on God’s Love will be felt always by our clients, volunteers, staff and community. Rest in peace, Joan. You will forever be in our hearts.”

  • Alyssa Milano Shares Photo of Son Snuggling Her Baby Bump

    Last week Alyssa Milano shared a photo on Instagram of her almost-three-year-old son Milo snuggling her bare baby bump.

    Milano captioned the photo:

    “#MomAndBaby are doing fine. Families everywhere should be able to say the same …” and posted a link to the official website of USAID.

    In March Milano and husband David Bugliari announced they were expecting their second child together.

    In May Milano revealed that the baby was a girl.

    She announced the happy news by filming a video set in her Mistresses dressing room and uploading it to YouTube. The video was simply and aptly titled “Baby Bugliari Gender Reveal.”

    Milano and Bugliari, a Creative Artists Agency agent, met in 2006 and married in 2009.

    “He is one of the funniest people on the planet,” Milano has said of Bugliari. “And he’s a great, great, great, great father …”

    The family currently lives in a gated community 45 minutes northwest of Los Angeles with four chickens, four horses, and a vegetable garden.

    Milano, who is well-known for her previous roles on Who’s the Boss? and Charmed, is currently starring in the ABC drama Mistresses.

    Currently in its second season, the series features an ensemble cast, which Milano says “meant I was going to have time to spend with my boy.”

    She takes Milo on set with her regularly:

    “… I feel so blessed as a mom to be able to do that, ’cause there aren’t many jobs that allow that.”

    Milano will soon be heading to New York to shoot season four of Project Runway: All Stars after successfully hosting and judging season three.

    When she’s not acting, Milano stays busy running her successful Touch by Alyssa Milano sportswear line, contributing to the Hacktivist comic book series, and acting on behalf of humanitarian organizations such as UNICEF.

  • Heidi Klum Goes Topless in Mexico

    Heidi Klum Goes Topless in Mexico

    German supermodel Heidi Klum was recently spotted on a beach in Tulum, Mexico while vacationing with her latest boyfriend, 27-year-old Vito Schnabel. Klum, 40, has been dating Schnabel, a New York art dealer, since February, and took a topless dip while in the Caribbean.

    Klum, a mother of four, was also seen last month with Schnabel in Paris, not long after splitting from her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten in January. Kirsten had been the rebound for Klum’s ex-husband of seven years, the pop-singer Seal.

    Schnabel, son of film director Julian Schnabel, appears to enjoy the company of older women, and has been previously linked to cougars that include Demi Moore and Elle Macpherson.

    Klum snapped some shots of her Tulum stay for Instagram:


    Aside from her work as a model, Klum has seen gigs as a fashion designer and a television host, producer and actress. She’s well-known as a former member of the judges’ panel and as an executive producer on Lifetime’s successful Project Runway. Klum first achieved fame after being featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and became the first German model to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

    In 2011, Forbes reported that Klum earned roughly $20 million, making her the second highest-paid model, behind Gisele Bundchen. As an actress, Klum played small roles in films including Ella Enchanted, The Devil Wears Prada and Perfect Stranger. Klum has also made appearances on the television shows Sex and the City, How I Met Your Mother and Parks and Recreation, and is presently a judge on the NBC reality show America’s Got Talent.

  • Heidi Klum Enjoys Paris Getaway With Vito Schnabel

    Heidi Klum and her new beau Vito Schnabel were spotted out and about in Paris on Monday. The two were enjoying art galleries and taking in some of the other tourist attractions in the City of Love. Some might even call this new man Klum’s boy toy, as he is just 27 years old. Heidi Klum is 40.

    Klum split with her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten back in January. He’s the one she took up with shortly after (some believe it was actually before, but that was never confirmed) parting ways with Seal, her husband of about 7 years.

    Clearly not one to waste much time in the boyfriend department, Klum and Schnabel were seen sharing some kisses at an Oscars event earlier this month. That would have been just weeks after her split from Kirsten.

    Vito Schnabel is the son of director Julian Schnabel. He has been known in the art world as a curator and dealer since he was just a teenager. He has been previously linked to some other A-list Hollywood ladies including Demi Moore, Liv Tyler and Elle Macpherson.

    Do you suppose Heidi Klum plans to make Schnabel her children’s new stepfather or is this just a fling? She has four children–Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou.

    The super model seemed rather enamored with her destination earlier this week as she tweeted a view of the Eiffel Tower.

    The executive producer of Project Runway, Klum is also a model, television host, fashion designer, businesswoman and actress. Even with all these titles–in addition to that of mother of 4–she still manages to take time out for romantic trips to Paris. Vito Schnabel is one very lucky man.

    Do you expect this new relationship between Heidi Klum and Vito Schnabel is the real thing or will she be passing him over in favor of yet another man–possibly one who is closer to her own age?

  • Marge Simpson Gets New Dress from Project Runway

    Marge Simpson got a new dress after a visit to Project Runway: All Stars. The designers were challenged to make a dress for Marge that she could wear out on a date with hubby Homer Simpson. She has worn the same boring green dress for nearly a quarter of a century.

    Marge appeared in a video to explain to the designers exactly what the competition entailed.

    “Normally I have one simple fashion philosophy: find a dress that looks good on you and wear it every day for the rest of your life,” she said.

    With the show’s 25th anniversary on the horizon, Marge told the designers she needed something that could be easily removed should Homer feel the need to do so following their date. She also insisted that her new creation not be green.

    All of the designers outshone Marge Simpson’s boring green dress, but only one was chosen for the big 25th anniversary episode and date. Irina Shabayeva’s dress–in an eggplant hue–beat the other designers hands down. Jeffrey Sebelia was sent home, since his ‘futuristic’ gown was about as far away as one could get from what Marge Simpson might wear.

    Twitter was no stranger to talk about Marge Simpson and her impending new dress, even though the tweets weren’t all favorable.

    What did you think about Project Runway creating a design for Marge Simpson to wear? Was it a bit ridiculous, since Marge is an animated character, or was it a challenge that aptly exercised the creativity of all the designers?

  • Heidi Klum Prepares For Halloween

    Heidi Klum Prepares For Halloween

    Heidi Klum is known for her modeling career where she has hosted Project Runway as well as her entrepreneurial skills. However, the popular celebrity is also famously recognized for her knack of remembering and enjoying holidays.

    As October 31st nears, Heidi Klum is getting ready for her annual Halloween celebrations. This year, Heidi will host her 14th annual holiday party located at the Marquee nightclub in New York. She has even received the nickname “Queen of Halloween” due to elaborate celebratory festivities surrounding this holiday.

    The forty-year-old model has selected a “scary dollhouse” theme and has already secured the musical act. DJ Questlove will be the one responsible for making sure the party has hopping tunes to delight the party-goers. Shutterfly, the photo publishing site, will be responsible for decorating the club with the best-themed decorations.

    Past Halloweens have shown that Heidi Klum can adorn herself with a wide selection of uniquely-tailored costumes befitting someone who has become as internationally renowned for unique physical presentations as she has. Heidi Klum has attended her annual Halloween holiday bashes dressed as a feminine and seductive crow, a transformers-inspired robot, a furry ape with wide white ears, and even the golden goddess otherwise referred to as the Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra.

    It should come as no surprise that Heidi has been preparing for the 2013 Halloween party for quite a while. In fact, back in July of this year, Heidi posted a picture on her twitter account claiming that she was already in the process of working on her ensemble for the Halloween bash. In the following tweet, Heidi gave the public a glimpse at what she is planning for this year’s party.

  • Kerry Washington Talks Fashion on Red Carpet

    Kerry Washington is always stylish and looking beautiful at those red carpet events! On Friday, Washington talked to Access Hollywood about her personal style and the style of her “Scandal” character, Olivia Pope at the “Project Runway” season finale during New York Fashion Week.

    “My own personal style in life is really based on comfort,” said Washington. “I’m a jeans and like, James Perse T-shirt kind of girl. But on the carpet, I like to have a lot of fun.” She added: “I think of red carpet moments as creative endeavors – a moment to have an artful endeavor.”

    After revealing her own style to Access Hollywood, Washington then moved on to talk about her character’s style, which she happens to love!

    “One of the things I really love about Olivia Pope is I really got to bring a lot of my fashion wisdom to the character in working with the costume designer… I love her fashion,” she said. “When people come up to me in the street and say, ‘I want Olivia’s closet,’ I say, ‘Me too!’

    “One of the things I like about it is that it’s not how I dress. Olivia really has her own way of dressing that’s really clear in my mind,” she continued. “I know when I put something on whether it’s Olivia or not. And it helps me to get in character.”

    Washington made her runway debut at the event wearing super high red patent pumps and a floral Stella McCartney dress. You would have never guessed that this was Washington’s first time on the catwalk. She looked like a natural! She then joined the “Project Runway” judges, Nina Garcia, Zac Posen and Heidi Klum to critique the season 12 finalists.

    For all you “Scandal” fans out there: “Scandal” Season 3 will premiere on October 3 at 10/9c on ABC.

  • Klum Saves Drowning Son in Hawaii

    It turns out that Heidi Klum has skills that go beyond hosting and modeling. The 39-year-old host of TV show Project Runway has told US Weekly that she had a hand in saving her family from drowning.

    According to the report, Klum was on a beach in Oahu, Hawaii this week when a riptide swept two nannies and her seven-year-old son Henry out into the water. She and her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten (who is also her boyfriend), were able to play Baywatch and save the stranded swimmers. Heidi admits, though, that Henry was able to swim back to shore by himself.

    Klum and her family had been vacationing in Hawaii for the Easter holiday. Before the incident occurred, Klum had posted a picture to her Twitter feed depicting Easter eggs sitting on the black volcanic rock of a Hawaiian beach:
