Heidi Klum's Body of Knowledge: 8 Rules of Model Behavior (to Help You Take Off on the Runway of Life)

For this self-help book covering everything from health to work to sex, the supermodel best known as the face of Victoria's Secret attempts to advise readers about their lives by explaining how she handled tricky situations in her own life. But Klum's experiences, which range from watching the U.S. Open with Donald Trump to chatting awkwardly with Prince backstage at the Tonight Show, will be difficult for the average person to relate to. The basis for Klum's ""rules,"" such as ""You Have to Want It, Baby (Desire),"" ""Be a Jet-Setter (Travel)"" and ""Make a Fashion Statement (Statement),"" are certainly admirable. But Klum doesn't explicate them nearly as much as she writes about her own life, making this book feel more like an authorized biography. Several celebrities Klum counts as friends provide interesting sidebars: Harvey Weinstein on how to break into the entertainment business, Michael J. Fox on how to find humor in any situation, etc. Klum's fans will want the book for its photos alone, which include the infamous snapshot of her biting Evander Holyfield's ear and a 43-page portfolio of her personal favorites. There are more practical self-help books on the shelves, but none have such beautiful photos and as many pages of fodder for celebrity enthusiasts.
