Heidi Klum amazed by sexiest model title

Heidi Klum amazed by sexiest model title

Model Heidi Klum is surprised to have won the prestigious title of the world's hottest model - because she is a mother to three children.

The supermodel said that she was amazed because she managed to beat many young models, despite having three kids.

The 35-year-old has left behind the likes of Brazilian babes Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima, and has landed at the top position on the Models.com list last month.

The German catwalk queen has a three-year-old daughter, Helene, with ex-boyfriend and Formula 1 ace Flavio Briatore, and two sons, Henry and Johan, with her husband Seal.

And now Klum says that the title is certainly a major step forward.

"It felt great, especially after having three children. It's brilliant for all mums because women sometimes worry whether they can still be sexy after having kids or how they're going to be perceived by people for being a mum," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"I had employers who thought if I had a child I wouldn't fit in the sexiest women category any more. But I think it's different these days," she added.

Heidi Klum: "Spears can live with me"

Heidi Klum has said she may help to solve Britney Spears' troubles and "set her straight" -- by inviting the plagued pop singer to live with her for a while, media reports said Monday.

"She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months," the 34-year-old supermodel told the German broadcaster ARD. "I would help set her straight."

"I am sorry when a young person gets thrown so off track," said Klum. "She has, of course, lived an extremely wild life."

After more than a year of bizarre behavior in which she divorced Kevin Federline and lost custody of her two young sons, Spears was put in a psychiatric hospital twice in January and under a repeatedly extended temporary conservatorship since the beginning of February.

On Thursday, Jon Eardley, who claims to be Britney Spears's new lawyer, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court, lashing out against the existing conservatorship as a "violation of [Spears's] civil rights," and requested the case be moved from California state court to a federal court.

In an interview, Klum, who was named last week the world's sexist model by the website, Models.com, also described her own life with her husband, the singer Seal, and their three kids.

"I have never been as happy as I am today," Klum said. "I have found the man of my life and we have three great kids. They are all so different and fantastic that it really can't get better than this."
