Heidi Klum has a penchant for excess and is easily susceptible to tragic outfits, but I think it?s all genuine to her free spirit and not an attention-grab. Mostly. Plus she flat out made me laugh when she so effortlessly revealed she?d never heard of Earthshot until Prince William begged asked her to attend their prize party. And here she is again endearing herself to me, talking about the unwanted hairs shes discovering in unwanted places as part of the gift of aging:
Heidi Klum isn?t shy about her body hair.
The ?America?s Got Talent? judge, 51, spoke candidly about growing hair on her chin and chest in an interview with Real Simple published Thursday.
?I have a chin hair and I have a boob hair ? I would say it?s as long as my pinky finger,? she said while promoting her partnership with self-care brand PosheEra.
?It?s like, ?Where are you coming from all of a sudden; you were not there yesterday.? The one that I have on my chin is hard; it?s hanging on for dear life. If I come with a tweezer, when I pull it out, it?s a whole tree trunk!? she continued with a laugh.
?It?s strange what happens with age. All of a sudden, you have hairs growing out of various places.?
Elsewhere in the interview, the model ? who doesn?t shy away from flaunting her figure ? shared the secret behind her continued confidence as she ages, telling the outlet that she got it from her mama, Erna Klum.
?My mom said you have to be happy with the person you see in the mirror; you live your life with you, and if you?re not happy with you, it?s hard to be happy with anything thats happening outside of you. I think our confidence gets better with age,? Klum shared.
?I just did a campaign with my mom?she?s 81. I look at her, and I?m like, ?Dang it, I hope I?m going to look like this at 80.? I?m not very critical on myself,? she explained.
Outside of her confident demeanor, the ?Project Runway? star said she tries ?to be positive? and is ?thankful for every day that I have.?
Klum showed off that fierce attitude last November when she slammed critics who made negative comments about her skin-baring fashion choices.
?I?m not shy about my femininity,? she said at the time.
?I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings ? but that doesn?t mean I want to go home with you.?

I sure hope confidence gets better with age ? something has to make up for those stray hairs! I am REDACTED years younger than Heidi, and even I battle coarse hairs popping up in the places Heidi describes. And yes, by that I mean my boob. Singular, because it?s the same little f?ker who repeatedly shows up only on my right boob (which I guess is stage left boob for those looking at me). Please believe me when I say that I will check the spot routinely (in a way that is neither creepy nor obsessive, I swear) for the slightest sign of growth, to nip it in the bud before it even gets to sprouting. But over and over and over again, I see NOTHING for weeks until BAM! And overnight I have a hair that?s of course now easily spotted given its at least an inch long with a hue that?s the polar opposite of my skin tone. Mother Nature, why do you hate your daughters?!
Anyway, Heidi is being a good spokeswoman by having this conversation.

Another day, another inexplicably ridiculous decision by the Trump Administration. This time, we?re talking about childrens books. As a part of their attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Department of Defense has been ?restricting access? to ?books and learning materials? that have anything to do with subjects like immigration, psychology, and a host of different subjects ?trigger words? that scare the administration. While they haven?t gone full DeSantis and banned these books from all public schools yet, they are no longer permitted at any Pentagon-run schools.
One of these ?restricted? books is Julianne Moore?s 2007 children?s book, ?Freckleface Strawberry.? Julianne?s book tells the story of a little girl who is conscientious about having freckles, but in the end learns to accept them because everyone is different. Naturally, Julianne is upset and spoke out about it on Instagram over the weekend.
It is a great shock for me to learn that my first book, Freckleface Strawberry, has been banned by the Trump Administration from schools run by the Department of Defense, Moore began her Sunday Instagram post. Freckleface Strawberry is a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different just like everybody else.'
She continued, It is a book I wrote for my children and for other kids to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community.
Moore, the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and graduate of the Department of Defense-run Frankfurt American High School, added she is particularly devastated that kids like me, growing up with a parent in the service and attending a [DoDEA] school, will not have access to a book written by someone whose life experience is so similar to their own.
The first of Moores Freckleface Strawberry books hit shelves in 2007 and followed its 7-year-old protagonist as she learns to accept herself, red hair, freckles, and all. The things that make you different also make you, YOU, reads the official synopsis. The pre-school level picture book has spawned several sequels, including Freckleface Strawberry: Loose Tooth and Freckleface Strawberry and the Really Big Voice.
I can?t help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book that causes it to be banned by the US Government, Moore continued in her post. I am truly saddened and never thought I would see this in a country where freedom of speech and expression is a constitutional right.
The actress went on to thank PEN America, a nonprofit that seeks to raise awareness for the protection of free expression in the United States and worldwide, for bringing this to my attention.
Last week, the organization condemned the Trump administration for purging books ? such as Moores ? from Department of Defense schools that serve 67,000 children around the world. Other banned books include the Ruth Bader Ginsburg picture book No Truth Without Ruth and transgender activist Nicole Maines memoir, Becoming Nicole.
The removal of these titles is yet another indicator of the new Administrations flippant and autocratic approach to K-12 education, read a Thursday post from PEN America.

I want to say that this is truly the stupidest timeline, but it?s actually a pretty sad one. We know that the DOGE firings blanket-targeted anyone labeled ?probationary,? while the NSF and NIH funding cuts targeted any research that used words like ?diverse? and ?women.? I have no doubt that Julianne?s book was just caught in the crossfire, but this is ridiculous. It?s just really sad when an 18-year-old picture book about accepting yourself is deemed too woke. And also, not for nothing, but like Julianne said, she wrote it from her experience as a military child. Military children tend to move around a lot, which can be difficult on school-aged kids. It?s cruel to ban books that may help them fit in more with their peers. Hopefully, Julianne speaking out about this as a public figure will make people more aware of whats going on.
