Heidi Klum’s Marriage Creakdown a ‘Curveball’

Heidi Klum describes the end of her marriage as a "curveball."

The supermodel and singer Seal split in January after seven years of marriage, and Heidi is still figuring out how to adjust to the changes in her life.

"Sometimes life throws you a curveball, and then you just figure it out and deal with it, but my dream always was that - to have the perfect family and have lots of children and a beautiful garden and trampolines and swings and things. I had dreams of how I wanted things to be and planned for things and, as we all know today, they don't always turn out as you dreamt them in your head," she told Allure.

Heidi - who raises children Leni, seven, Henry, six, Johan, five, and two-year-old Lou with Seal - added she doesn't feel any resent about the split, which her former husband has said was caused by them growing apart: "I don't resent anything that ever happened. Things just turn out the way they turn out."

Kara DioGuardi Goes Nude for Allure Magazine

Kara DioGuardi may have been hesitant about sporting a bikini on last year’s American Idol finale, but she’s come a long way since then.

For the upcoming issue of Allure, the American Idol judge lets her guard completely down and takes her clothes completely off. Kara is just one of several female celebrities - including actress Jessica Capshaw and singer Colbie Caillat - to strip down for the magazine’s annual “nude” event.

“This shoot was less about beauty than about taking a risk and showing people a side of me they never have seen,” DioGuardi said about her decision to participate.

You can see a few more pics after the jump and on the magazine’s website.

Mariah Carey Considers Herself a Prude

Many words come to mind when I think of Mariah Carey—and “prude” isn’t one of them.  But that’s just what the singer would like you to believe.

In an interview with Allure magazine, the diva not only compared herself to a beloved Disney character (“I’m Mary Poppins: I’m what the buttoned-up girls are supposed to be.”), she goes on to call herself “freakin’ prude.”

Now before we go any further, here’s the definition of that word according to Dictionary.com:  “A person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.”

I just want to make it clear - I personally don’t care if Mariah is or isn’t modest, I just want to make sure she uses the term correctly.  I mean, we’ve all seen her go shopping without a bra on.  We know the lyrics to Touch My Body and Honey.  Her videos like to feature her in lingerie…or in the bathtub.  And how about the skimpy party outfits?  (You can check out a gallery of some of her photos, after the jump.)

Now if she believes the word prude to mean “woman who wants to look good and doesn’t care what you think” then maybe we’d have something.
