OK, so maybe not- but here's a little something for you Project Runway fans.

Popular media has, for the most part, managed to portray supermodels as anorexic drama queens and dim-witted divas, and for some reason we've lapped that up that image completely.

While it is true that there might be those in the fashion industry that might be a little in the way of attention-hungry, unreasonable or just in need of a good cheeseburger, such isn't the case at all for my girl, Heidi Klum.

In fact, she's the ultimate supermodel if you ask me: she's beautiful, and has a body that's still as marketable as ever. But more importantly, Heidi's been able to make good use of her popularity and success to pursue other interests both inside and out of her immediate comfort zone.

Plus, she's sharp, has a fun personality, and an all-around media darling. Seriously, can you really say anything bad about Heidi Klum?

Heidi Klum, Supermodel.

In 1991, an eighteen-year-old Heidi Klum entered a modeling contest after some prodding by her friend. She did win the contest, voted the winner out of 25,000 other hopefuls, and bagging a contract worth about US$300,000.

Since then, Heidi's been on the cover of just about every fashion magazine- but it was her work for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and for Victoria Secret that catapulted her into fame.

Heidi's also been a spokesmodel for several well-known brands, like Liz Claiborne, H&M, Braun, Volkswagen, Jordache and McDonalds, and even made appearances in TV shows and movies- "Sex and the City", "How I Met Your Mother", The Devil Wears Prada, Ella Enchanted and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

Project Runway

In December 2004, Heidi Klum signed up as host, judge and executive producer of the reality show "Project Runway". The show came out on the Bravo cable TV channel. That's her with the Season 1 contestants in the picture to the left.

In "Project Runway", fashion designers compete for the chance to show their work at New York Fashion Week and receive money to launch their own fashion line, among other prizes.

Heidi has received an Emmy nomination for the show for each of the first three seasons. In 2008, Project Runway and Heidi Klum received a Peabody Award, the first time a reality show had won the award, according to Heidi's entry on Wikipedia.

Heidi Klum Now

As we know, Heidi's happily married to musician Seal, with two boys Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel (who's turning 3 in September) and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel (who's having his second birthday on November). Heidi also has Helene "Leni" Klum, who's turning 4 this May.

Heidi's still rather active in the fashion industry, designing her own clothing lines (and her own line of jewelry, even) as well as designing for others (Birkenstock, Mouawad, Victoria Secret). She also produced two fragrances, "Heidi Klum" and "Me".

Besides "Project Runway", she's also working on "Germany's Next Top Model", and is trying out her hand at voicing for video games, sculpture and paintings, even dabbling into pop music.

For more of Heidi, you can check out her official website, HeidiKlum.com. You can also read more about her on her IMDb profile here, or her Wikipedia entry here.

As long as TV keeps coming up with delicious eye-candy, this blog's feature on "Favorite TV Chicks" will be on hand to get to know more about our fine female performers who make our TV shows a little bit more interesting. Only on "Too Much TV: Renzie on TV!"

Cheers, everyone!

January is coming to a close, and at this point, a lot of shows have already resumed airing new episodes- despite the ongoing writers' strike.

For those of you who have been keeping tabs on TV, waiting for your new shows to come back, it won't be much longer anymore- you have a few good shows already going on, such as The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the second season of Jericho, to name a few.



Grey's Anatomy is finally back- we're currently on our 11th episode for Season 4. Also, we also have new episodes of My Name Is Earl. I have to wonder, though, do they have enough episodes stocked up until the strike is resolved? Or are we going to see the new episodes come in trickles once again? Suspense kills, huh?




Grey's Anatomy, you can catch on Thursdays on ABC, while you can catch My Name Is Earl on NBC that same night. For those with a reality fix, Project Runway season 4 is ongoing (we're already on episode eight, so you may have a lot of catching up to do), as well as the seventh season of The Apprentice- Celebrity Apprentice at that, which could be interesting.



For fans of the NBC reality show, we're on our second episode so far, so you can still catch up. Check your local listings on when to catch Celebrity Apprentice. You can catch Project Runway on BravoTV.



Now as far as the late night scene is concerned, I've been a huge fan of Late Night with Conan o'Brien. Conan Christopher o'Brien is back- apparently with much more facial hair. While you're at it, check out a very entertaining feature of him on Entertainment Weekly, as well as his diary on the ongoing writers' strike.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for new episodes from our favorite shows coming out. You'll read it here when we get something.

Later, everyone. Cheers!
