Project Runway: Everybody Cries, One Designer Wins
Every season, it all comes down to Bryant Park.
Nine months after they marched their 13-look collections down the runway at Fall Fashion Week, Althea Harper, Irena Shabayeva and Carol Hannah Whitfield stood quaking before Heidi Klum & Co., waiting to hear who would be named the winner of Project Runway's much-delayed sixth season.
Of course it looked as if time was going to run out, garments were going to go unfinished and each woman was going to float away on a river of tears (mixed with other fluids, in the virus-stricken Carol Hannah's case).
But wouldn't you know, all three ladies, competing in the second all-girl finale in a row, showed classy, polished and, for the most part, extremely wearable collections at the couture extravaganza in NYC.
And for the spoiler-avoiders among us, it seemed like anyone's game.
Party Patrol: Inside the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Time to roll out the pink carpet!
Even though CBS won't air the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show until Dec. 1, I can tell you all about the event going down tonight. There are some changes this year: the show has been moved back to New York City, and new mama Heidi Klum is telling everyone on the red carpet that she's just going to host—not walk the runway—this time around.
The Black Eyed Peas get the party started, hitting the stage to perform "Boom Boom Pow." Fergie's singing live and dancing up a storm as models strut in futuristic lingerie getups. Jay-Z is watching from the front row sans Beyoncé and looks impressed by Fergie's pipes.
After the group finishes "Meet Me Halfway," there's a surprise...
Heidi Klum: Modeling vs. Mommyhood

Hot mama Heidi Klum left her kids—and her heart—back in California to come host the Victoria's Secret fashion show in NYC today.
Klum's been a leggy fixture on the lingerie catwalk for years, but understandably this time around, it was hard for the mom of four to leave her little ones—including newborn Lou—back in L.A.
"It is, but tomorrow at noon, I'll be back home," Heidi said of her quickie trip to the Big Apple. "I take the first flight at 7:30!"
But as long as she's emceeing the sexy CBS special, there is one thing Heidi's really looking forward to...

Heidi Klum Won't Strut, Will Host Victoria's Secret

Hot mama Heidi Klum won't be walking the runway at the Victoria's Secret fashion show this year, but she'll still be working the crowd.
Instead of strutting her stuff in barely there lingerie like in years past, the supermodel, who gave birth just three weeks ago, will be hosting the entire event, a source tells E! News.
Even before their baby girl Lou arrived, Heidi told me she probably wouldn't be able to bounce back in time to model this year...
Heidi Klum Throws Star-Studded, Spooky Soiree
When you're supermodel Heidi Klum and impossibly gorgeous everyday, you don't mind getting ugly on Halloween.
That's exactly what the new mom and her hubby, Seal, did at their annual fright night fete, held at Voyeur. The couple were almost unrecognizable in crazy crow costumes, which Heidi designed herself.
They weren't the only ones who went to the birds...

Sex and the City Makes It Work With Tim Gunn

Carrie Bradshaw & Co. are getting an extra dose of fabulous in the upcoming Sex and the City flick.
I just got word that Tim Gunn is going to appear in the sequel.
A rep for Gunn confirms the cameo, which he's shooting in New York City right now!
No word yet on what the Project Runway guru will be doing in the film, but I'm told he's playing himself.
This wouldn't be the first time Gunn has been in business with Sarah Jessica Parker...
Hot Mama Heidi Klum Welcomes Her Latest Seal Pup

Babies are like the fashion world. One day they're in, the next they're out. Just ask Heidi Klum.
Despite denials that the supermodel was even in labor, Klum and hubby Seal welcomed a baby girl, Lou Sulola Samuel, on Friday at 7:46 p.m. in Los Angeles, E! News confirms.
The stunner-in-training has two big brothers—Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, 4, and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, 2—as well as big sis Helene "Leni" Klum, 5, from Klum's previous relationship.
The Samuel family's impending addition was revealed in April when sketches of a belly-accommodating couture gown were leaked on the Internet.
"It's difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children," Seal said in a statement released tonight. "Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?
Did Heidi Klum Cut the Cheese?
Tall, skinny and gorgeous women have bodily functions, too!
This is one of the many lessons learned on last night's Models of the Runway. Just before one of the leggy lovelies got booted, one of them tooted.
"The tension got broken a little bit on the runway because, I'm not gonna name names, but I think someone had a couple of, uh, gastrointestinal problems while we were on the runway," giggles Tara Egan.
Of course, host Heidi Klum wasn't the one who smelt it or dealt it.
"What happened? Someone farted? It wasn't me," she swears. "Who's not laughing over there?"
In true model fashion, Celine Chua took ownership of the poot, and with panache.
"I'm a great farter," she admits with a smile.
It's enough to make any frat boy tune in to Lifetime's Project Runway offshoot.

Heidi Finds Klum Passé

One day your name is in, the next day it's out.
More than four years after they tied the knot and on the eve of the birth of their third child together, Heidi Klum has filed paperwork to legally take Seal's last name as her own.
Now, we know what you're thinking...
Seal has a last name?!
Yes, it's Samuel, as in Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel, and Heidi wants in on it, probably figuring it won't affect the international superstardom she's acquired under the surname Klum.
Per court documents, she'll know by Nov. 20 if her petition has been approved—and we don't see any reason why it shouldn't be.
Heidi Klum, Kourtney: Make Way for Babies

Nominee Heidi Klum offered her best advice for dressing for two: "I think the bigger you get, in the end it's better to go smaller," she told E! News' Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet.
Her strapless Marchesa gown was formfitted to show off her baby bump, while Kourtney Kardashian worked a plum Empire-waisted dress as she dodged questions about Khloé's upcoming marriage plans and laughed that Kim Kardashian might be more forthcoming.
Klum worked out the fashion, but said she hadn't found a baby name yet, but "maybe if we win, it will be Emmy!" she laughed.
And Kate Walsh had better keep an eye out on their styles. "There may be some bambinos in my future," she laughed after discussing Grey's Anatomy costar Ellen Pompeo's pregnancy.

Pregnant Heidi Klum Still Wearing 7-Inch Heels
Emmy nominee Heidi Klum may only be a few weeks away from having a baby girl, but she refuses to give up her high heels.
Last night, the hot mama hit Los Angeles Confidential's pre-Emmy party wearing 7-inch leopard-print heels and a tight black dress to show off her baby bump.
"Even at the Emmy's, I'm gonna wear high heels all night, and when I can't do it anymore, then it's time to go home," she said of her plans for Sunday.
One major event she might not make it to this year? The Victoria's Secret fashion show. The supermodel says she doesn't think she can bounce back in time to strut her stuff...
Khloé Kardashian Blogs for the Awful Truth: Who Are Hollywood's Best and Worst Couples?

Dating in H'wood is quite the hot topic, as you all know. Makeups, breakups, sex scandals, affairs, preggersville and any sort of relationship drama you can conjure up are splashed across the pages of every major tabloid on a weekly basis.
Every time I'm linked to someone, no matter how absurd the claim, I have to take to my blog to defend myself. It's not easy dating under a microscope, people! Celebrity marriages you think are going to last forever come to a screeching halt, and the most unlikely of couples form a union and spin a reality show off of it.
It's a very strange world we're living in when it comes to celebrity dating, and it seems like everyone has something to say about the subject. Well, dolls, now it's my turn. I thought it would be fun to share my favorite and least favorite Hollywood couples, as well as play matchmaker to two hot celebs...
