Heidi Klum, supermodel and mother of four, has another project in the works. The Project Runway host, 36, is launching two maternity collections exclusively for A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood Maternity. Usmagazine.com reports the lines will both debut on February 12th, and will be called Lavish and Loved. Klum said, “I chose to call my collection for A Pea in the Pod Lavish because there is no grander name to express everything you want to give yourself and the child growing within you. For Motherhood Maternity, Loved is a celebration of new life and the love around you and your baby. 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. They are all about making you feel beautiful. Being pregnant shouldn’t stop you from being fashionable and feeling great about your changing body. It’s an exciting journey.”
Klum is married to singer Seal and has four children – Leni, 5, Henry, 4, Johan, 2, and daughter Lou, is almost 3 months.

Remember when Tila Tequila announced via Twitter that she was pregnant- carrying a child for her brother and his wife? Well, that wasn’t completely true. Tequila is now clearing everything up, saying that she is not pregnant- yet- but is expecting to become a surrogate for her brother. She gave an interview with Usmagazine, saying, “I said I’m going to become a surrogate mother for my brother and his wife. That means I’m going to be pregnant. But the words ‘going to be’ didn’t fit,” she explained. (Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters.) “So I said ‘I’m pregnant.’ I’m not, but I’m going to be.” She also confirmed that she is engaged to Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson, who is going to “set me up with a doctor that’s really good.” She also reported that Johnson is going to take Tila’s legal last name of Nguyen.
What was the inspiration to become a surrogate? Johnson’s own 3 year old daughter, Ava. Tequila says, “I’m going to adopt my fiancé’s daughter. So I’m going to be a stepmom to a 3-year-old pretty soon. I want to go through a process of what being pregnant feels like for the whole nine months.”
