Heidi Klum Believes Parents Are Responsible for Eating Disorders
As one of the world’s greatest supermodels Heidi Klum has undoubtedly been around a litany of eating disorders in her time. However, she doesn’t blame the fashion and entertainment world for models' problems. Klum said it’s the parents’ role to instill healthy habits.
"You can’t look at Hollywood and blame it, you have to make up your own mind whether you want to be fit, or super skinny. You can’t blame other people. It’s your own choice and if you have children, it is up to the parent to educate your children so they are healthy and they don’t go into a direction of anorexia or obesity," Klum said at the recent L.A. Confidential Magazine party to celebrate her cover. "It is up to you as a parent, it is hard to feed children right. I deal with it on a daily basis; it is much harder to make sure they eat right."

On the note of educating young ones, Heidi and hubby Seal recently attended the Los Angeles launch of Bill Gates’s "Get School" initiative (designed to bring together students, families and community leaders to reform education across America) and it turns out that ironically, the supermodel/TV host/entrepreneur actually has some concerns about showbiz careers.
"When you hear that every 26 seconds drops out of school you get worried. You want them to stay in school and you want them to have a vision of what they want to be and give them ideas and encourage them. I definitely want to get involved and do that, think about job ideas," Klum explained. "Nowadays children look at everyone in the magazines and they want to be a basketball star or on a television show, but there is only so many people who can do those things and not that you shouldn’t aim or dream for these things, but there are so many other fantastic jobs. So it’s good to talk about how to get there and how difficult it is to get there."
The glowing 36-year-old is almost nine months pregnant with number four and is busy trying to tame the other three who excitedly jump on her big belly because they "don’t really understand there is actually a real human being in there." But sadly, Klum doesn’t know if she’ll be back to her bikini body in time for the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November.
"I have to play it by ear; I might be cutting it a little short this time. I’m still going to have my Halloween party, that’s okay because I can put a big costume on but walking in a g-string is a little hard," Klum added. "It’s all cute when you’re pregnant, but once you’ve had the baby it's not so… well, it takes time."
The Real Reason Brody Jenner Didn’t Attend Khloe Kardashian’s Wedding…?
Despite being Khloe Kardashian’s step brother and a regular fixture on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Brody Jenner was a surprise no-show at her quickie wedding to Lamar Odom on Sunday. And while Jenner has come out and said it was because he had to fly to New York for an early morning MTV interview, Tarts has been told that it had more to do with the fact that it was because his former friend Joe Francis was attending the event instead.
"Joe is really close with Khloe and the family, I guess it kind of pushed Brody out," said an inside source, adding that the "Girls Gone Wild" founder even tried to take it upon himself to throw a Bachelor party but the LA Laker’s peeps pulled the plug for fear it could harm his reputation.
Jenner’s girlfriend Jayde Nicole filed a one million dollar lawsuit against Francis last week for "assault and battery," stemming from a bar brawl in which Jenner was also allegedly embroiled in.
But back to the wedding, it seems it was quite the matrimonial advertisement - not only were the E! cameras rolling but we’re told that in the days leading up to it organizers were "selling it off like crazy" and madly seeking sponsors for everything from liquor to photos to printing and were "asking a lot of money."
So will it be the corporations that lose out in the end?
According to Bookmaker.com, odds skew 45 percent that the nuptials will last one to five months while 25 percent of punters give it one to two years and only 20 percent think they will make the two year mark.
Kanye West Storms Another Stage
Common, Nas, Ludacris, Mos Def and Queen Latifah took the stage at the Hollywood Palladium on Saturday night to help raise funds for the Common Ground Foundation - but backstage the buzz was all about Kanye West who we’re told appeared "really nervous" while trying to keep a low-profile and thanking anyone who would bother to listen.
Common told the sold-out crowd that he asked his buddy West to perform for the charitable cause but with all that happened with him and the backlash he received from the VMAs (oh, poor Kanye) he sent his love and apologized he wasn’t able to make it. But despite recently vowing to take a break from the limelight, West couldn’t help himself at the event.
"He stormed the stage and everyone went insane," a partygoer told Tarts. "After the show he seemed much more outgoing, back to his old self…"
Hmmm, so is that a good thing?
