With Reality TV’s surge in popularity here in the States, it’s no wonder other countries are also catching reality fever. And Heidi Klum is helping her motherland of Germany capitalize on the trend.
The Victoria’s Secret babe was spotted in Cologne earlier today for the Germany’s Next Top Model photocall, along with a few co-stars. She serves as the host, as well as the head judge and executive producer of the gig.
And she looked simply stunning in a black multi-textured belted minidress with a pair of shiny black gladiator sandals and a big smile. Klum has been spending a lot of time in Germany as of late, working with a cosmetics for cancer charity earlier this week, as well as doing some promotional work for McDonald’s.
She’s been spending a ton of time down in Shreveport, Louisiana filming her new movie “Disaster Movie.” And now that it’s wrapped, Kim Kardashian is back in Los Angeles.
The reality TV starlet was spotted out and about yesterday running some errands and grabbing lunch at the swanky LaScala restaurant.
And Miss Kardashian looked cute in a multi-colored striped sundress with a black handbag and a pair of 1-strap peep-toe heels.
Later on, Kim, along with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, was spotted at the Ocean Pacific advertising campaign launch party in Beverly Hills, looking sexy in a blue halter top with a matching blue skirt and some strappy white sandals.

Sometimes one nail salon just isn’t enough. And Haylie Duff was bound and determined to get her nails done just the way she likes them.
The “Napoleon Dynamite” actress was spotted in Ventura, California yesterday visiting two different nail salons in search of the perfect set. And she looked cute in a black tank top with a big blue scarf, and a pair of designer jeans.
Haylie has been keeping herself extra busy lately, working on both a new reality series (Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search For Elle Woods in which she plays host as well as producer) and a Spike TV horror flick “Backwoods.” She says the “Elle Woods” gig is one that is close to her heart. "I was approached to mentor the girls and serve as the host. When I found out what the show was about I realized it hit so close to home. I had done a Broadway show. That's when I decided I wanted to be an executive producer."
Of the “Backwoods” film, Duff told press she was attracted to the challenges of playing her character. "I like to find characters that push me and challenge me. This character was a real survivor. She is the kind of person who, when she is pushed, will fight back."

She’s a self-professed shopaholic, and it appears that Lindsay Lohan has replaced her nighttime barhopping with some late night spending excursions.

After her red carpet duties were done, the “Heroes” cutie headed over to the celebrity-popular Cipriani restaurant for a late dinner, surrounded by her very protective security team.

As if there weren’t enough reasons for female celebrities to be self-conscious around the paparazzi, yesterday Kate Walsh had a mishap that will have people talking for days.
While filming a scene for her hit show Private Practice, Walsh was victimized by a sudden gust of wind when her skirt suddenly flew up exposing her underwear to bystanders.
But like a pro, Kate reacted by reaching back and holding her clothing down so as not to prolong the embarrassing moment. Then she simply laughed it off. As far as the upcoming Presidential election, Walsh has joined many of her Hollywood peers, and placed her support behind Barack Obama.
She told press, “I think this is a great movement in American history. The American people want a change in their government and Barack Obama is the best person to lead and serve and bring about the real changes people want. I am thrilled.”

She’s one of the hottest exports from Germany to America and earlier today Heidi Klum was back in her motherland doing what she does best… looking pretty for the camera.
The occasion was a press conference for Douglas and DKMS LIFE, a cosmetics retail chain, held at the Intercontinental Hotel in the city of Cologne.
The Project Runway babe (new season starts this July on Bravo) looked chic in a black t-shirt and designer jeans, along with a pair of black high heels and a cute and cuddly teddy bear.

Just when we thought everything in the Lohan clan was settling down, Dina and Michael have returned to a Long Island courtroom today to battle over custody arrangements.
While LiLo (21) and her 19-year-old brother Michael Jr. are excluded from the situation due to their age, Daddy Lohan has filed a complaint that his ex-wife hasn’t been keeping up her end of the visitation bargain with 14-year-old Ali and 11-year-old Dakota.
Essentially, Michael’s attorney John DiMascio Jr. has claimed that Dina hasn’t allowed his client to visit the two younger children according to the agreement reached previously by the court. Family Court Judge Stacy Bennett scheduled the next hearing to be July 14th, and sounded as if the situation was hopeful. "I am encouraged to hear that the parties and counsel are working at ways to repair the relationship between the children and the father," she said, noting that she was also pleased that the two sides were working together to try and iron out the wrinkles.

According to reports, the happy newlyweds left Sunday for a 10-day trip to Costa Rica, the site of Sheen’s proposal to Mueller last summer.
Apparently the rugged mountain terrain and beautiful beaches made quite an impression on the couple. A source told press, “They love the landscape there and were eager to go back.” Then again, a $500,000 engagement ring can make any place memorable! As for their wedding, the select group of family and friends enjoyed appetizers prior to the ceremony, and a three-course meal afterwards. A witness told press, “The wedding was simple, casual, and sweet. The wedding cake was white with beautiful birds on it.”
Yesterday was a good one for the paparazzi at LAX. With Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson flying out of the Int'l airport, pop superstar Rihanna showed up as well.

Anticipating the baby's arrival in late fall, Monaghan's rep, Jennifer Allen, kept the announcement short by telling People magazine: "They are very excited."
While attending the NYC premiere of Made of Honor, which co-stars Grey's Anatomy hunk Patrick Dempsey, Michelle had told press, "I love children and it's something that I've always wanted, to be a mother and have kids." And now, it looks like her dream is becoming a reality at the youthful age of 32.
She’s been more consistent than ever with her comeback regimen, and Britney Spears was spotted making her regular visit to the gym yesterday.
The ‘Toxic’ mommy was surrounded by paparazzi, as usual, as she headed over to her local Bally’s Total Fitness, sporting a fresh manicure and glowing complexion.
And with all of her focus on her career revival, it seems Britney won’t be accepting the offer from Swedish Designer Claus Hjelmback’s Scandinavian Style Mansion to be the face of his brand. According to insiders, Brit’s father/co-conservator Jamie Spears has pulled the plug on the endorsement deal, saying it’s not the right time in the “Gimme More” singer’s career.
After spending the weekend partying it up in Las Vegas, Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge were back to life as usual in Los Angeles.

Every year the Council of Fashion Designers of America holds a swanky awards gala to honor the fabulous of the fashion industry. And last night’s shindig was as star-studded as ever.
Held at the New York City Public Library, the CFDA Awards featured appearances by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria, and Hilary Duff, among many others.
Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham brought her fashion A-game, showing up in a frilly one-shoulder black-with-hearts thigh-length dress as she posed for the paparazzi. Keeping things a little more toned-down, Eva Longoria (with hubby Tony Parker) sported a cleavage-enhancing pink dress with white beaded accents around the neckline, and a pair of pointed-toe heels.
And “War, Inc.” starlet Hilary Duff looked blindingly beautiful in a very sparkly purple scoopneck knee-length dress along with a pair of muted lilac heels and a pulled-back hairdo.
Sparking rumors of a possible prenuptial agreement, Halle Berry was spotted yesterday visiting her lawyer in Los Angeles, California.
And the “Monster’s Ball” babe was looking very business-minded, sporting a serious demeanor along with a fabulous black v-neck blouse with a matching black ankle-length skirt and some strappy sandals.
Berry has been outspoken about her lack of desire to get married again (after her ex-husband Eric Benet had multiple affairs), but perhaps baby Nahla has changed all of that. Speaking of Nahla, Halle recently told press that her newfound motherhood will hopefully boost her chances of getting more serious, Oscar-worthy roles, now that her sex symbol status has been diminished.
She said, “I feel having a baby will open up a whole new world for me. I think I’ll actually find better roles, because I’ve gotten past being the ingenue and sex symbol.”
While some women prefer to wear baby bump-minimizing attire during their pregnancy, Alessandra Ambrosio is proud to show off her growing midsection.

Wearing a loose-fitting white top with a pair of jean shorts, Hilary Duff headed out for a shopping excursion in NYC on Monday (June 2).
Accompanied by a gal pal, the Lizzie McGuire actress spent around thirty minutes browsing through a selection of shoes - opting for a pair of Christian Louboutins before walking back to her hotel.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with AOL, Duff explained that she doesn’t mind being considered the “good girl” compared to her not-so-kid-friendly contemporaries such as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
Hilary said: “I know people think I’m a good girl and I’m not going to fight it and be like, ‘I’m not, I’m bad.’ I don’t really care that [people] think that [but] I’d rather them think that than think I’m like everyone else.”
Continuing on, Duff tells: “It comes down to that I want people to focus on my work and I want to have my life completely separate from that. I love Natalie Portman so much because people don’t look at her as a good girl but they look at her and she’s a respected actress. Who knows what she does in her personal life?”
