We all know of the standard insurance policies which cover our day to day lives. We’re constantly exposed to TV adverts of a window cleaner falling from an unstable ladder or an innocent victim receiving whiplash courtesy of a reckless driver. However there is also a world that we’re not exposed to. A world so bizarre that it’s like the twilight zone of insurance claims. It’s incomprehensible to us normal folk as to why these policies exist but it goes that step further to ensuring that our A-list stars are held in a regard on an almost immortal level. But, when it comes down to it, even they realise that we’re all human and so they’ve taken every necessary step to ensure that their vulnerable bodies and lives are protected against the glitz, glamour and pitfalls of a celebrity lifestyle. No win no fee solicitors have truly got their work cut out with this bunch!

Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum’s Shorter ‘Do
Photo from US Weekly
She showed up on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno sporting a shorter hairstyle. Heidi Klum’s explanation? “I got bored,” she told Jay. “I grow it; I cut it. Some people never change their hair and it works for them. For me, I get bored.”
Bobs and short crops are all the rage this spring. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Carey Mulligan are among the Hollywood stars who are sporting shorter and breezier ‘dos lately.
Although Heidi looked hot when she had a longer mane, this shorter hairstyle seems more age-appropriate, especially now that the 36-year-old is busy raising her kids with her hubby Seal.
Do you prefer Heidi blonde locks short or long?
Grammy Awards Best Dressed
Last night’s gathering of entertainers brought out a new trend for red-carpet dressing. Perhaps it’s the 2010 bug where fashionistas are out to challenge the conventional “glam-glam-glam” mantra. Here are my top 10 picks for the Grammy’s best dressed, in no particular order.
As Fergie posed with the rest of the Black Eyed Peas, her cobalt blue Emilio Pucci mini was simply Fergilious.
Miley Cyrus was definitely ready to “Party In The USA” with her teal Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress.
Carrie Underwood sure had a penchant for straps that night. Her Edition by Georges Chakra gown looked great, especially when she received her Best Country Collaboration award.
Before the show, Katy Perry tweeted: “[sic] I’m excited 4 today, all the performances r going to be fab & beauty is gonna be on point! Today I’m channeling Indian Betty Paige princess!” It looks like her Zac Posen dress did the job.
Multi-winner Taylor Swift glittered, literally, with her off-shoulder KaufmanFranco gown.
Sleeves are back on the red carpet style radar. Beyonce, who got the most nods at the Grammys, stood out with her detailed fishtail gown.
Rihanna brushed off rumors that she was blacklisted from the Grammys. Her Elie Saab Haute Couture gown made the feathered collar a must-have fashion detail.
Jennifer Nettles of The Sugarland gets a little help from Posh Spice with this Victoria Beckham cutout dress.
Hot mama Heidi Klum’s nude Emilio Pucci minidress stood out, thanks to the stylish embellishments.
Newbie singer Chantel “Chani” Christie’s bodice minidress spelled hot.

Golden Globes: Best-Dressed and Best Umbrellas
A little rain (okay, it did pour heavily) didn’t stop the celebrities from strutting their gowns at yesterday’s Golden Globe Awards. Here are my top five choices for best dressed.
It’s refreshing to see that instead of her usual short skirts and petite dresses, Glee’s Lea Michele caught our attention with this long Oscar de la Renta number.
I wonder how Kate Hudson kept her fabulous structured Marchesa dress and Casadei pumps from getting drenched and muddy.
Christina Aguilera’s Versace peach chiffon gown with a unique metallic bodice stood out from other peach-hued gowns I spotted that night.
Penelope Cruz, nominated for her role in Nine, accessorized her glamorous Giorgio Armani Privé black lace gown with Chopard diamonds.
This Roberto Cavalli fishtail gown accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels made Heidi Klum the night’s freshest catch.
Those designers should’ve made matching couture umbrellas to match the stars’ ensembles!

Heidi Klum: Project Maternity
It’s been almost three months since she gave birth to her fourth child, Lou Sulola Samuel, and already Heidi Klum is back to her supermodel duties. This time, instead of walking down the catwalk, she’s designing the clothes.
A preggy Heidi arrives at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles on September 20, 2009.
Her target market: pregnant women. The 36-year-old Project Runway host is busy working on her two maternity lines, Lavish by Heidi Klum and Loved by Heidi Klum.
“I experienced fashion challenges during my four pregnancies and combined my knowledge of what works in terms of style, comfort and practicality to create these lines,” Heidi said. “Being pregnant shouldn’t stop you from being fashionable and feeling great about your changing body.”
If there’s anyone good at being a stylish, sexy, and pregnant at the same, it’s Heidi Klum, so I’m expecting good reviews for this project.
Lavish is all about iconic style and seamless fit, while Loved is all about comfort and affordability. Both collections will debut online and in stores on February 12. For more info, visit A Pea in a Pod and Motherhood Maternity.
