“I sit there and play princesses with my daughter, and I never told her anything about a princess, ever. Whereas I go to my brother’s house, and he’s got two boys…I walk in the front door, and I instantly get punched in the nuts.”

Heidi Klum Walks Runway – Six Weeks After Baby!

Richie Buxo/Splash News Online

Heidi Klum, who was supposed to be acting as host of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, drew screams from the crowd Thursday night when she made a surprise trip down the runway.

Clad in a corset and full skirt, the new mom, who gave birth to daughter Lou Sulola, with husband Seal, last month, smiled as she slowly took the runway for the surprise appearance.

“I figure why not? I embrace that I have more curves right now. I’m definitely one of the heaviest of the bunch of the 30 girls in the show. And I still have 20 lbs. to go,” she admits. “But why not? I like my outfit. I like the way it looks on me.”

Though she’ll be flaunting her curves, the mom of four kids (including Leni, 5, Henry, 4, and Johan, 3 tomorrow) says she’s happy that the pressure to really bare her body is off.

“You definitely have less pressure hosting, when you don’t shake your booty in front of millions of people around the world,” she said laughing.

Not that she’s slacking when it comes to getting into shape. “There’s no master plan, but I have a trainer in L.A. who comes to my house,” the model and Project Runway host told PEOPLE. “She’s helping me so I don’t overdo it. I’ve been walking on the treadmill. Walking up and down the driveway. She has a medicine ball so she showed me things on there. You can’t do too much too early.”

As for her diet, “I’m not someone who eats salad and chicken,” explains Heidi, who says her biggest indulgence, a liter of milk a day, helped her gain 45 lbs. with her fourth pregnancy.

“I have a lot of heads around the table and if there’s not variety they get bored. I mean sometimes I have two to three things to serve and my daughter will be like, ‘That’s it, Mommy?’ So it’s fish one day, goulash the next day, spaghetti Bolognese, then schnitzel. I cook a lot.”

Cook, yes. Relax? Not so much. “I don’t relax and I don’t unwind,” Heidi says. “I have three children that couldn’t care less that I just had a baby. You don’t relax when you have four children at home that all want your attention, and it’s your duty as a mother to give it to them. My time to relax is when I’m sleeping!”

Hugh Grant On Future Fatherhood: ‘I Haven’t Given Up Hope’

Tags: Baby talk

Jane West/INF

Next September will be a big month for Hugh Grant: the actor will celebrate his 50th birthday. And although he has managed to rack up a laundry list of accomplishments over the years, Hugh now has his sight on something new — children!

“Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have thought about having children at all,” he admits to PARADE.

However, the proud uncle of “so many” nieces, nephews, and godchildren — including Elizabeth Hurley’s son Damian — Hugh is growing fond of the idea of a family for himself. “Yes, yes, yes. I haven’t given up hope,” he confesses.

That said, his desire to have kids comes with a set of terms! “That’s on the basis that I can leave after 10 minutes,” he says.

“I don’t know what it would be like 24 hours a day. I think I’d have a lot of nannies.”

With the thought of a family on the horizon, Hugh is already forming his own opinions when it comes to raising children. “I see a lot of children over-parented now, by my standards,” he notes.

“Over-adored. Over-spoiled. I quite like the children left alone to get on with it.”

His approach to parenting leaves Hugh believing he will be a top-notch father. “Yes, I do rather,” he explains. “I find I’m not as bad with children as I used to be.”

Stanley Tucci Dishes on His ‘Proudest Moment’ As a Dad

Tags: Dads, Parenting
Maxppp/Landov

Earlier this year, Stanley Tucci suffered an unimaginable blow when Kate Tucci — his wife of 14 years — died of cancer. In the wake of that loss, the 50-year-old actor has taken over countless duties and in a new interview with WebMD magazine he says that there is one duty in particular he could live without.

“I’d rather be a sous chef at Lutèce than pack those darn school lunches,” he jokes.

“My proudest moment is when I actually get the school lunches packed in time!”

In his upcoming film The Lovely Bones, Stanley portrays a pedophile and murderer, a role he describes as “the hardest thing” he’s ever done. “I can’t bear to watch anything where kids are getting hurt,” he explains. “I was up in the air about [accepting the role]…It was a challenge, and I like a challenge. I’m glad I did it.”

When it comes to explaining danger to his 9 ½-year-old twins Isabel and Nicolo and daughter Camilla, 7, Stanley says that “a little fear is OK.” He elaborates,

“It’s important for children to understand what they should and should not be afraid of. I worked closely with an FBI guy [for The Lovely Bones], and he would tell his own kid: ‘See that guy over there?’ He’d pick ‘em out, and tell them exactly what to look for. But ultimately, we all have to keep a close eye on our children.”

The Lovely Bones hits theaters December 11th.
