Heidi Klum: "Sometimes, Honestly, I Can't Handle My Voice"
Lovably wacky Ms. Heidi Klum was on Today this morning, and Matt Lauer noted that she put her fingers in her ears when the Project Runway clip ran. "I sometimes wonder when people actually copy me… and they make me sound so German," she said. "But then I see myself." Matt was all, "It does sound a tad German, by the way." They went on to discuss the fifth season of PR, and the fact that this could be the last season the show is on Bravo. Matt suggested he just lock Heidi in the studio to keep Heidi at NBC (which owns Bravo). Heidi quipped, "You can be Tim Gunn!" Heidi also said of the network, "I don't have a problem here."

- Milla Jovovich on whose wardrobes she'd steal: "Marianne Faithfull's and Bianca Jagger's. And I'd also steal Isabel Archer's from The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. I'd steal everything from Edith Wharton's heroines, and from the little chimney sweeps from Dickens's novels. I'd love to go into David Bowie's wardrobe. I'd mix all the clothes from these wardrobes into one of my own." She'd also get neck-extension. And "knee-shrinkers." [Times Online]

Many Happy Returns
We've been remiss in not acknowledging the triumphant return of the writer behind the women's magazine-skewering blog Glossed Over, who is not only back (and newly-wedded) but as wonderfully bitchy as ever. Our favorite of her new posts is this take on the newest issue of Marie Claire: "Sure, magazines still offer some sliver of escapism, but reading the June issue of Marie Claire was like delving into a world that’s worse than the one I actually live in. They’ve dubbed this 'The Body Issue,' but really, it’s the bloody depressing issue. The intrepid staffers manage to put a negative slant on every single feature. It starts on the cover with this: 'Mighty Heidi Klum Recommends Sex in an Igloo.' So it’s not enough for her to be a successful, beauty-standard-setting Teutonic blonde, but now my sex life is inadequate too?". There's more to be found here: [Glossed Over]

Marie Claire's 'Body Issue' Is All About Making You Feel Bad About Yours
It's officially Summer in the world of women's magazines! Are you as excited as we are for the massive amount of "expert" advice on slimming down and toning up so that you can fit into the perfect $300 swimsuit for your body type? The June Marie Claire "Body Issue" helps us kick off the season with a feature on picking the perfect bathing suit — not by trying it on, mind you, but by forcing us to liken our bodies to those of three female celebrities. (Not surprisingly, those "diverse-bodied" celebs probably all have BMIs less than or equal to that of cover model, Heidi Klum, who, by the way, is wearing Brooks Brothers suspenders and not a rock-climbing harness.) After the jump, find out about hump-hungry female bosses and how to cheap-out (metaphorically and financially) on your friends' weddings. More »

Britney made a surprise appearance at the Rock the Cradle finale last night to support her buddy, ex-manager Larry Rudolph, who is a judge on the show.

Now's your chance! • Holy crap, Seal proposed to Heidi Klum in an igloo.

- Chris "Mr. Big" Noth has some strong feelings about Victoria's Secret, "I'm not into Victoria's Secret so much. I find it over the top. I like subtlety and I like elegance. I think their things are gaudy and they are really trying too hard. If I could make a fashion statement, I think that Victoria's Secret looks to me like somebody who is putting on too much make-up. It's too gaudy, man. I mean, come on take it easy, you don't have to have a fuckin' bouquet of flowers on your underwear. Sorry Victoria's Secret; I hope they're not one of our sponsors!" [Oh No They Didn't]

God Bless Ridiculous Fashion Folk, Every One Of Them
- God bless Vivienne Westwood for being so undeniably herself. Says the fashion designer-cum-philosopher: "I'd like to do less, but there are people dependent on me now. My thing has always been, just let me finish this pair of trousers and then I can read my book. We've all got to wear something, I suppose. So my advice would be to buy quality. Choose well. I think there's a certain status in seeing someone wearing the same thing over and over again." [Vogue UK]
- God bless Heidi Klum. She's just so wise: "[Take] time out for yourself so you can engage in an activity that you really enjoy. [Also, don't] neglect the romance in your life. [And] wear pretty lingerie if you don't want to feel schlumpy." [Vogue UK]
- God bless Donatella Versace for saying at the Times Talks on Sunday that her fashion motto is "Don't let the rappers wear more bling than you do!" and that she hopes to be reincarnated as Maya Rudolph. [Fashion Week Daily]
