Heidi Klum surprised everyone tonight by leading the parade at the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which returned after four years on the road.

The sexy mama, who gave birth to daughter, Lou, just 6 weeks ago, was supposed to host the event, instead she took to the runway in a purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle.

Just in time for the Holidays, new mom Elisabeth Hasselbeck has introduced a great new collection for Dialogue, available at QVC.

‘The View’ co-host’s designs are both reasonably priced and fashionable. There is something for everyone including warm jackets, multi-wear dresses and comfortable sweaters.

Since having the baby, I have had to re-build my wardrobe every season. I like that everything in this line is priced so that you can afford a whole outfit and not just one piece.

While going through the collection there are many pieces that fit my style. Below I have put together 4 looks that I would personally wear.

I am not usually an online clothing shopper, but I like that other QVC shoppers have commented on each item with their tips. This is a helpful tool if you are going between 2 pieces and can’t make up your mind.

Salma Hayek pushes her daughter Valentina in a Juicy Couture Maclaren stroller through JFK International airport in New York.

The fashionable mom recently volunteered to nurse the child on a recent trip to Sierra Leone, when the baby’s mother stopped producing milk.

Salma, 42, said:

“The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn’t have milk. He was very hungry. I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breast-fed the baby. You should have seen his eyes. When he felt the nourishment, he immediately stopped crying.”

The actress, who claims older mothers have more energy, has been slowly returning to work since having one-year-old Valentina.

She said:

“There was a lot of crying on both sides because I’m not used to separating from her. I guess I have to start separating a little bit. I’m still with her all the time. She’s such a happy baby.”

Laila Ali has been a professional athlete all her life. After giving birth to her son Curtis in late August, the new mom found herself needing to get back in shape. But how does a mother find the time and the energy?

Laila, who found out that being fit is good for both the mom and her baby, shares her get fit tips with new moms.

Before starting an exercise regime, check with your doctor. Here are some other exercise safety tips to keep n mind:

• Invest in a good support bra. Your breasts are going to be larger than normal from the milk production and will need a lot of extra support.
• Be careful of high-impact sports due to lax pelvic ligaments and joints left over from pregnancy. This is why core (abdominal work is key after pregnancy preventing lower back and joint injuries).
• Make sure you drink lots of water to replenish yourself, especially when breastfeeding.
• Listen to your body. If you’re feeling tired, go easy on yourself. Try not to push yourself until you feel ready.
• If you start to feel light headed and nauseous, or notice a change in the color of your vaginal discharge, consult with your doctor. You may be exercising too strenuously.

*And remember, losing baby weight takes time. Since her son was born in August, Laila has lost 15 pounds. She says she has 20 more to go.*

Here are the highlights of the interview:

About Heath’s early passing:

“It’s so sad,” Michelle says. When she’s asked about how she’s been doing in the past year, she’s silent for a very long time. “I guess it’s always changing,” she says. There’s another pause. “What else can I say?” Her voice is breathy and fragile, and she takes a few gulps of air. “I just wake up each day in a slightly different place—grief is like a moving river, so that’s what I mean by ‘it’s always changing’.” She stops again. “It’s a strange thing to say”—her words unravel slowly, her eyes tear up—”because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That’s what I would say.”

On the Paparazzi:

“It burns a fire inside of me, the s––– that I’ve seen people do to get at me or my daughter,” she says. “I won’t forget it, and I won’t support it. I don’t want my daughter growing up feeling spied on or threatened.”

On quitting acting to keep her life private:

“If it gets to the point where I can’t situate my life in a way that they stay away more, then I’ll drop a match on the thing,” she says. “I’ll be sad. I like to act. It’s saved my life over and over again. It’s given me a sense of self-esteem, self-worth. I have this thing that I’m in love with—acting—and now it has this baggage.”

On keeping Matilda’s life stable:

“I don’t want to work while she’s in school,” Williams says. “I want her to have a routine. I want the plainest, simplest, most ordinary, habituated routine possible. I just want to know what’s coming next.”

While Kate hasn’t commented publicly about the photos, professional airbrush artist Chris Bickmore believes these photos have also been doctored.

Here he outlines the areas that he thinks have been upgraded:

• The face: ‘There is no real detail in her face. Any detail or wrinkles have been removed. There are no eye bags, contours and smile lines.
  

  ‘The whites of her eyes have been cleaned up and are now a really clean, crisp white. I’d say her lips have possibly been made slightly fuller as well.’

• The skin: ‘Her skin has generally been retouched all over so she has no lines or blemishes at all. Her skin is completely perfect.’
• The hands and feet: ‘There are no wrinkles or lines or veins on her hands and feet and this just is not natural.’
• The figure: ‘Her back and lower body have been pinched in to make her look thinner and to give her some curves.
  

  ‘Her bottom has been rounded off so it looks nice and pert. I would be very surprised if her bottom was like that naturally. Her thigh appears to have been made slimmer so it appears more toned.

  ‘And in the shot of her sitting down on the front cover, it’s possible her legs were made slightly thinner so they also appear more toned.’

The touching images, several taken by doting dad Brad Pitt, show an intimate portrait of the couple’s family life.

Taken just seven weeks after the birth of the couple’s twins Knox and Vivienne, Angelina is a picture of contentment as she enthuses about the joys of parenthood.

In one photo, Angelina revisits old Hollywood glamour in shades and a floppy hat as she cradles one of her newborn twins in a sling.

The whole collection can be seen in November’s edition of W Magazine.

Kelly Ripa, her husband Mark Consuelos and son Michael filmed a grilled segment for Live With Regis And Kelly together today.

It is unbelievable how much Michael looks like Mark!

“So many people say, ‘I am so done.’ That hasn’t come out of my mouth, and it hasn’t come out of Seal’s mouth either,” the Project Runway host, 35, tells Redbook magazine in its July 2008 issue. “I feel like we still have one coming.”

But having more children could only be a plus, considering their shared love of family helped Klum realize Seal was the one for her.

“We seemed to know from the get-go,” dishes the German-born supermodel. “Just with everything – the way he is. He’s very gentle and he wants to have a family and we like a lot of the same things. [It's about] looking for someone to get old with and having fun and obviously being physically attractive to each other.

“As for life now, the model mom readily admits it’s “kind of perfect” with the “picket fence and the kids are playing in the garden? It’s kind of like that. The only thing missing is the dog.”

What’s not missing, obviously, is balance. “I have a normal life and I have this glamorous life, but to me it’s two different things. It’s not like I’m this glamour diva who hands everything over and I just sit on my throne at home,” she says. “When we’re home, we’re cooking and doing things with the kids, driving them to school. We do the things that everyone has to do.”

The 21-year-old new mom, who breastfed eight-month old Ruby Megan, says shedding her baby weight quickly was only one of the many benefits of breastfeeding.

“It was really reassuring knowing that Ruby had extra protection from chest, ear and stomach infections, as well as from diabetes and allergies. On top of that, breastfeeding is free and really convenient – especially in the middle of the night.

“Experts say that young mothers are less likely to breastfeed due to a lack of understanding combined with social pressure from people who themselves may never have breastfed.

“Feeding Ruby myself has been such a positive experience and I would definitely recommend to other mums that they try it. I don’t know why so few young mums choose to breastfeed but I think there are a lot of myths out there. It’s important they hear from real mums like me and have all the information they need to make their minds up.”

I love that she has stepped up to support a really great cause. Young moms respect her in so many ways. Hopefully they will listen to all of her great points and try breast feeding when their babies arrive.

The new mom looked so fresh and fabulous, it was like she hadn’t given birth at all. She definitely had the internet buzzing.

While it had appeared that Halle had shed her baby weight – quickly, new pictures taken yesterday show that she is a real mom.

Unlike most celebrities who won’t be seen in public with even an ounce of post-baby podge, after almost two months out of the limelight with new baby Nahla, down to earth Halle was seen in a skimpy T-shirt dress which revealed she still has her post-baby tummy.

Clearly Halle is not fazed by the fact that she has not yet shed all her baby weight, as she made no attempt to cover up or hide away her figure.

I love her curves! She reminds me of Salma Hayek in this picture. SOURCE
