FACEBOOKRangerwife, I never said ALL southerners are racist, but you cannot deny that there are many of the old school people from the deep south who still hold those opinions, mostly because they were raised that way. You also can't deny that there is a lot of racism in the south and that there are still pockets in the south that are still segregated! So it is not a far fetched assessment. I would never generalize the south for those people to be representative of everyone. I do admit that racism is everywhere--not just the south, but they are a good example to give.
Heidi Klum on Losing the Baby Weight:"You Can't Kid Yourself"
Thursday May 8, 2008
Thursday May 8, 2008
Heidi Klum's tip for losing that pesky baby weight?
Be realistic.
“I always think, 'Look at how people were before they were pregnant,'" Klum, 34, says in June's Marie Claire. “If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again."
Klum rocked a bikini two months after welcoming her second child, Henry, in a 2005 Victoria's Secret fashion show.
"A lot of people come to me, and they’re like, ‘Will I look like you after I have the baby?’" she added. "And I say, ‘Well, how were you before?’" she says. "You can’t kid yourself.”
(See more post-baby bods here.)
As a mother of three — Leni, 4; Henry, almost 3; Johan, 18 months — Klum insists fitting into her skinny jeans is no longer a priority.
"I always wanted to be a mom," says Klum, who was honored as Style Icon of the Year at Us' Hot Hollywood Awards. "At Thanksgiving, I have my parents there, I have screaming kids, I have a big fat turkey - 18 pounds - sitting in the middle; legs are being ripped off that thing, you know what I mean? There’s life in the house.
"I don’t want to be wondering about how skinny I am, wondering what I’m going to eat because I don’t want to gain and I want to look hot and young, always and forever," she adds.
Her husband Seal also helps her keep things in perspective.
She met the singer in NYC's Mercer Hotel in 2003 when she was five weeks pregnant with Leni (her daughter from a previous relationship with businessman Flavio Briatore).
The next year, he popped the question atop a glacier in the Canadian Rockies. (They wed in 2005 in Mexico.)
“He took me by helicopter,” Klum recalls. “He had an igloo built there, and they’d brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles.
"There was food and champagne," she goes on. "It was a little scary, too, because you’re so cut off from the world. No trees, nothing ... but I was ecstatic.”

Flavio Briatore = Leni is not my daughter Says:
Lenis daddy is a fat old european/italian rich casanova/playboy an very good known for that.
HAHA ugly fat as Flavio Briatore, he always have young beautyful Modelgirlfriends (Naomi Campell), and Heidi was stupid enough to have a baby with him. He left her when he heard about the pregnancy and he says that he is not the daddy HA!

To all of you who call Jen racist:do not get upset about people like her,there are still many...It is not that old school type of racism(I hope).It is either narrow-mindedness,lack of education,being inbred or just ignorant-or ALL these things together...I feel sorry for people like Jen.She should open her eyes and see the real world ,it's 2008,there are more multiracial people then ever before and I am happy that a lot of people have gotten to the point where they try to see what we all have in common,and be open minded about people who don't look like yourself.Isolation never lead to anything positive before...it leads to more ignorance.
Jen was probably raised in a racist environment.Nobody is being born racist.It is something you learn.It takes courage and intelligence,integrity and character to stand up against it in any situation.Jen is lacking these qualities.Poor girl...I hope people like her will die out soon.

By the way, I think Heidi and Seal are a very beautiful, loving couple that are also very passionate about each other (you can just tell by looking at them that they have sex all the time). They have beautiful children--all three of them. Hopefully we will someday live in a world where interracial children are seen and race is not given a second thought and they are treated like human beings.

The opinion of Jen is not uncommon in the Western world, unfortunately. I saw that type of thinking in Australia where I'm originally from and that is rampant in the US as well, especially those who are from the deep south. I got a lot of people who told me point blank that they aren't going to ever vote for a black man (they didn't phrase it that way) when I was volunteering on the Barack Obama campaign. They also were against interracial relationships--disgusted that his mother is white. It is sad that we still have that type of racism in the world today.
Anyway, back to baby weight. I do think celebrities are put under too much pressure to lose the weight. I can't remember which child Heidi had just given birth to, but having to do a Victoria's Secret show and being expected to have all that weight lost within 6 weeks of giving birth to do that show was too much. She looked great no matter what, but that is too much pressure for any woman, no matter what they do for a living.

I am white, but I think that interracial children seem better looking. I don't know what it is, but something about mixing races makes the kids look better.
Esp. Asian Black kids, usually turn out very attractive. Don't know whY?

You are a disgusting human being. I myself am half black half puerto rican and I married a white guy and together we have 2 beautiful boys. They are so beautiful that where ever we go people stop and say how gorgeous they are. Interracial couples and biracial children are a BIG part of the future...so YOU BETTER GET USED TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

jennifer- I think that Heidi Clum and Seal are a great example of the future of interracial relationships. From what I have gathered about you soo far, you appear to be a sad, lonely, cunning,RACIST, envious C***. 'Eat your heart out'.Oh and guess what????????? Have you ever wondered... what is the colour of beneath a BLACK man's foot????????...It is not black is it? HA! HA!

Hey there racist one(jennifer/racist c***)! Just to let you know, I am a beautiful, educated, intelligent,talented BLACK woman who is married to a 'WHITE" man...and this guy worships the grounds that I walk on. If he was given a choice between an ignorant fool like you and a soul like mine, I think he would choose the latter. I certainly think that GOD made us in his own image and that we should not judge BLACK people because of the colour of their skin. Our bodies function the same,We s**t through the same hole, our blood is the same colour, etc.It is always sad, senseless people like you who make Black people who they are today and believe you me .... the worse is yet to come!!!! WE BLACKS RULE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And I think that your attitude personifies your ignorance. Judgment day will come when 'demons' like you will beg for mercy but it will be too late.Just who do you think you are?????????? Biach!

I'm absolutely saddened that people can be so closed minded to judge by ethnicity. It's people with those close minds that keep the hatred and the wars in the world going. Sad...sad...sad...

As gross as Jenn's attitude is, it's not her fault. She was probably raised ignorant by ignorant racist parents. She probably hasn't traveled much outside her town. She probably doesn't have more than a high school education.
Racism is a product of insecurity + fear + lack of education + usually poverty.
She doesn't know any better.

Go ahead Jenn...pour that hate on out! The world needs more people with attitudes like yours, don't you think? I'm sure the number of hate crimes would decrease if everyone was more like you, right?
Geez, I may live in Texas but I can tell you that we don't have people like that here in my city. Maybe in some small azz podunk town with a population of 80, they feel that way but I've NEVER heard anyone act or even speak the way you just did Jen. That's your opinion and sadly, you are entitled to it but I think it's people like you that are spreading hate around the world. I'm sure you'll raise your kids to believe the things you do and you're only spreading hate. Imagine your child hating interracial dating so much that he eventually goes on a shooting rampage at school or openly hating other races and then being killed for his beliefs. It can happen and it does. At some point, don't you think you're responsible? If your child is killed or jailed (God forbid) for a hate crime...would you blame yourself or hold yourself at least partially accountable? I think you would. I just hope you rid that hate in your heart Jenn.

Jennifer,
It doesn't matter if you are white, black, purple or green. If you are going to make a comment like you did, you are very narrow minded and racist. Nobody is criticizing you because you are white and making that comment, they are citicizing you because you made a stupid comment. No matter what race you are, to say something like that is ignorant and unnecessary.

I don't think color has anything to do with how a person treats you. He can be green if you want to as long as he is kind and good to you. Look at that Austria guy, he's white, look what he did with his family.

I never said I live in TX. I actually live in NY.
And I will say what I want, I have a good friend who is dating a black guy I don't agree with it and I don't respect her, but she is a childhood friend and all I can do is hope she has sense enough not to marry him.
All I can say is stick with you own. Sorry but there are black people who feel the same way, not just the white people. So come down off the high horses because racism exists all around us,not just with me.
