Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum says she does not have any problem posing naked in front of her family. Klum had posed with just an underwear and a pair of wings for a recent secret fashion show at Victoria’s.

The German -American model, actress, TV presenter, business woman, fashion designer, television producer and occasional singer,Klum has no issues displaying her fabulous figure in front of her husband Seal and the three children they raise together.

She said: “To see me in wings is nothing too unusual. People are pretty open with their bodies in Germany and the children see you naked or in lingerie all the time so it’s not a big deal for us.”We don’t hide inside a room somewhere and change - it’s all very out in the open.”

Heidi said that she has to strike a balance between her professional and personal life. While she has to continuosly be aware of her diet and figure in order to keep it slimline, at the same time she has to keep alive the romance in her marriage.

She added: “You have to work out to be sexy. People always ask me how I stay in shape and how do I do it and what really makes me do it is because I have a hot man waiting at home for me. So I don’t want to be a slouch bag, I have to keep up appearances.”

In not being a slouch bag and keeping up with her appearances Heidi can strip naked in front her family which she feels is “not a big deal”. Klum is a successful super model with Forbes naming her third on the list of the World’s 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.In 2008, Forbes estimated her income to be $14 million, which put Klum in second place on the list, surpassing Kate Moss ($7.5 million), but she is well behind Gisele Bündchen ($35 million). Heidi has won her quota of accolades and recognition for the Emmy Award-nomination for the best hostess of Project Runway and Germany’s Next Topmodel. Heidi is also famously known for her work with with Victoria’s Secret.

British model/actress Elizabeth Hurley’s promotion of American fur house - Blackglama has been severely censured by animal rights campaigners.

Hurley has long been targeted by animal lovers for her penchant for fashionable furs, but her new advertisements for Blackglama have caused an uproar prompting a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to publicly castigate and criticise the English beauty. Several Hollywood stars have long abhorred the use of furs and animal products. Hurley’s fashion fiesta on animals is sure to bring fire to her stardom. There are stars who have even taken up the PETA cause in their hands and spread awareness themselves but Hurley is surely turning out to be one adamant lady going against the tide.

Representative for PETA Europe, Robbie LeBlanc, says, “It’s shocking that she’s taking money to wear baby minks, who are skinned at six months old for Liz’s luxuries.

“Her wardrobe is now as dead as her film career. Millions of animals are electrocuted and skinned alive, suffering terribly for the production of fur. With so many fantastic faux furs available there is no excuse for the wearing of real fur.”

Blackglama’s What becomes a legend most? campaign, features a topless Hurley, with her modesty preserved only by the luxury furs.

And the mother-of-three worked extra-hard to get the right shape and the perfect figure for the shoot. Posh Spice now boasts of a well toned body that looks ageless. Armani must be overjoyed to have pulled in Victoria as she has keptto her fashion and excercise regime.

She says, “I started running regularly about a year ago and when this campaign came about, I began working harder every day. And this morning I got on the treadmill and said, ‘OK then - this is my last chance! ”

Victoria had featured in Marc Jacobs’ campaign earlier this year (08) and she felt honoured to take part in another international fashion shoot.

She adds, “It’s a huge compliment being asked to be in the campaign and to be part of the worldwide campaign for Emporio Armani underwear. “It’s really exciting to me. Mr. (Georgio) Armani is a lovely person and his team is fantastic, so it’s a really exciting project for me to be involved with. And hopefully they will see a huge response.”

Jennifer Hudson has moved on with her life. She currently features in a new Holiday campaign with the GAP. In the Ad, Hudson is  smiling and she wears a red sweater. Hudson who was in hiding recently after she went through a tragic family slain affair. The ad launch features her as cheery.

Hudson was given full freedom to back out. According to Gap spokesperson Olive Doyne, “She said she wanted to be a part of it and that we should move forward.” Hudson was photographed for the ad by Michael Thompson back in July in New York City. Hudson had conveyed her best wishes and blessings so that the clothing-store giant was assured of her wish to use her image.

The timing for the ad might not seem appropriate to many, but the real picture is Hudson has to move on with her life. She cannot sit mourning away her time. The ad uses the tagline “Shine Your Own Star,” seems apt since Hudson begins with a new shine. She needs this launch more than GAP. The ad can be seen in magazines and newspapers and on billboards in New York and Los Angeles.
