Heidi Klum - Über alles

A kiss from a rose on the grave
Heidi Klum
I first met Seal in a hotel lobby in and he had just been to the gym. He was in bicycle shorts and I pretty much saw everything. The whole package. I was like, 'Wow'!

The second best-paid model in the world with annual takings of around $14m, this leggy blonde was making serious money in her teens when she won a national model search contest and bagged a $300,000 modelling deal.

For a supermodel, she's surprisingly approachable, and once had a laugh on Letterman by yodelling for the crinkly chat show legend. Married to Seal since 2005, word is that she "put out" for the Killer singer on their first date.

Or, in her own words, "We can't tell you exactly what we did. It would be too naughty and it would just be 'bleep, bleep, bleep!', but it was a very good first date."
