Heidi Klum and her post-baby body led the parade at the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which returned to New York with some fresh faces after four years on the road. The lingerie retailer inducted five more women into its “Angel” ranks — a designation reserved for top models — in front of a packed house Thursday night at the Lexington Avenue Armory. They are Emanuela de Paula, Chanel Iman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel. But Klum, who gave birth to a daughter five weeks ago, was the audience favorite in her purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle. She emerged from the huge, castlelike set to applause. Musical guest The Black Eyed Peas — especially Fergie, its only female member, who wore a black, jeweled bodysuit — was another crowd-pleaser. She came out later in a green corset gown. Of course, fashion really is secondary here. Victoria’s Secret always puts on an elaborate production (this time with a choir, acrobatic dancers and a giant polka-dot dog balloon) and fuels hype about its models. An online model search started earlier this month and is now down to two contestants, one of whom will be chosen by the public to appear in the televised version of the fashion show that CBS will air Dec. 1. “I could watch this online, but it’s a fun scene,” said Russell Simmons from his front row seat. “This show is always fun and a great production.” “It’s always a spectacular,” agreed costume designer Patricia Field. “Victoria’s Secret does that extra thing I like.” Klum, who normally wears the most elaborate outfits, only appeared once so it was former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl Marissa Miller who had the honor of wearing a $3 million, diamond-encrusted bra. Splashy jewels, it seemed, were one of the themes of the show with many models dripping in diamonds, crystals and other bling — while others wore faux fur stoles over their bras and panties. Thigh-high boots were the other must-have accessory. Outfits fell into one of four themes: Star Trooper with breast plates and body armor; Pink Planet, which had a hippie vibe; the ethereal Enchanted Forest; and Romantic Journey that featured a lot of lace. Compared to previous years, the overall collection didn’t seem as skimpy, although Miranda Kerr wore an itsy-bitsy black thong get-up that might have to be edited out of the TV show.

Altho these VS fashion shows aren’t really my thing, I can’t believe how much I enjoy watching them year after year … I think it’s all the fun colors and feathers. And, to be honest, even I can appreciate how insanely hawt all of the VS Angels are … this is really a very fun show. I’m so glad that Heidi was up to walking the runway this year, especially after giving birth just about a month ago. The woman looked fantastic, as always. I can’t wait to see this show when it airs on CBS next month.

I understand that Heidi has been planning this year’s costume since July … she made quite a scary-looking bird. The SKYY Vodka sponsored event was held at Voyeur in West Hollywood, CA and managed to inspire Eliza Dushku and beau Rick Fox to dress up as vampire/zombie versions of Bonnie & Clyde … the affair also inspired Paris Hilton and beau Doug Reinhardt to dress up as a swan and the Tooth Fairy respectively … and inspired Rachel Zoe to dress up as her usual scary self …. EEEEEERIE!! As far as Hallowe’en parties go, it’s tough to outdo Heidi Klum’s annual affair … it looks like it was a grand time, indeed.

Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this new photobook is chock full of many nekkid pics of the German supermodel. After the jump, check out a few NSFW uncensored images from the book, none of which feature chocolate of any kind …

Heidi Klum is not shy about showing off her body, is she? Seal is a lucky man. What do y’all think … is this a book that you would pick up?

That’s a lot of chocolate Heidi’s wearing … and, wouldn’t you know it, all of that chocolate doesn’t completely cover everything adequately. HMMM … yeah, you see what I mean about the tone of this book. After the jump, check out a few NSFW uncensored photos from Rankin’s Heidilicious which feature more of this chocolate fun …

Sweeeeet! You gotta love Heidi’s brazen ability to pose for very interesting photoshoots. If you are interested in seeing more from this particular book, you can place your orders from Amazon HERE. I wonder what other interesting things Heidi does in this book.

Heidi Klum gave birth to a girl, Lou Samuel, on Oct. 9 in Los Angeles, her rep confirms. She joins siblings Johan, 2 ½, Henry, 4, and Leni, 5. The supermodel’s husband, Seal, released the following statement Monday night:

“It’s difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children,” Seal writes. “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? On Friday, Oct. 9, 2009, at 7:46 p.m., the answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter,” he continues. “Lou Sulola Samuel was born, and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes, it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years.”

Yay!! At last, we can extend our love and congrats to the newly expanded family and send them the warmest wishes for little Lou. Seal’s statement is sooo cute … you can tell that he loves his family more than anything else on Earth. I’m very happy for the entire family … much love and congrats again!! I cannot wait to see what darling little Lou looks like :)

RadarOnline.com has learned that Heidi Klum is a mom again. The supermodel gave birth Friday to a baby girl. The baby, named Lou Samuel, was born naturally at 1am, within one hour of being induced.

Yay! I knew she’d pop by the weekend, I just knew it! Much love and congrats goes out to the entire Klum-Samuel family on this little addition to their family!!

UPDATE: US Weekly is reporting that Heidi has NOT yet given birth to her baby but that labor is “imminent”, they say:

Despite multiple reports stating Heidi Klum gave birth to a baby girl early Friday morning, a source tells Usmagazine.com that the claims are untrue … The source tells Us this didn’t happen but that labor is imminent.

OY! I guess we’ll have to wait until official confirmation comes from the family themselves. If the baby’s name does turn out to be Lou then we will know that Radar was right. In any event, Heidi’s baby will be born this weekend … just as I predicted ;) Woot!!

On Wednesday afternoon, the Internet was buzzing that Heidi Klum was in the hospital about to give birth to her baby girl. But her rep tells us, “She’s at home resting.” Klum, 36, is due any day.

Oh yeah, she’s gonna blow soon … my guess is that she’ll pop in a week or two. I must admit, I totally believed that she checked into the hospital today but, it turns out, not so. Soon, tho … Heidi will drop her load very soon.

Despite the fact that it looks like Heidi is smuggling a watermelon beneath her stretchy lycra dress she really is showing NO signs that she is slowing down. I understand Heidi and her kiddies were at the pier for a birthday party and everyone had a great time. Heidi’s bump looks just huge … she is sure to go boom! at any moment. I’d be surprised if she doesn’t deliver her load within the next week or so.

It occurs to me that Halloween is Heidi’s favorite holiday … so wouldn’t it be great of she were to give birth on October 31? The only downside to Heidi’s giving birth on Halloween is that she would not be able to attend her annual costume party. My guess is that she will either decide to have the child popped out before her scheduled party or she’ll just cross her legs and hold it in until after she throws her party. In any event, her baby girl will be comin’ very soon … she should be poppin’ any day now.

Much like new mom Sarah Michelle Gellar (who gave birth to her first child last weekend) it looks like Heidi plans on staying very active up until the very last second she pops. Even tho there aren’t as many celeb baby births this year as there were last year, we’ve already had some great baby births this Summer alone. You’re up next, Heidi … soon!!
