Heidi Klum: Mommy Duty


Tending to her parental duties, Heidi Klum was spotted picking up her kids from karate lessons in Los Angeles yesterday (February 4).
The “Project Runway” babe carried her baby daughter Lou Sulola as she strolled past the paparazzi, looking cute and casual.


Heidi told press that she’s loving motherhood for the fourth time, though Lou seems a little more clingy than her other kids were.
“I mean it’s a little bit hard because she’s very attached to me still. She doesn’t drink from the bottle. That’s a little bit of an issue right now!”

Kristen Stewart: Jury Hottie


Even celebrities have to do jury duty, and earlier this week Kristen Stewart performed her civil responsibility at a Los Angeles County Court.
The “New Moon” babe sat on a jury to decide the fate of a man who was accused of trying to solicit an undercover cop posing as a prostitute.



And luckily for the defendant, the jury found him not guilty. However, one of the court security guards may be getting the book thrown at him for posting a picture he took with Stewart.
The guard’s wife posted the picture online, but then took it down for fear of her hubby losing his job. She wrote, “Cancelled because unfortunately the photo that went up from Kristen in court was stolen and put on several blogs and got to the media and reached the ears of the court. Right now my husband and the security guard are in trouble for it having gone up and second because it is confidential when celebrities are in court. Now I feel bad. ... I am really scared, because I think it is possible that they could lose their jobs.”
