Three weeks after Us Weekly reported that Miranda Kerr is expecting her first child with her husband Orlando Bloom, the Victoria’s Secret model has confirmed the news in the September issue of Spanish Vogue.

“It was exactly what we both hoped for and it turned out as planned in every way,” she gushed. “We always intended for the wedding to be a private and intimate occasion and we haven’t shared any details as it is something we’d like to keep as our special secret.”

“Yes, I’m pregnant. Four months along,” Kerr, 27,Juicy Couture, tells the mag (via The Daily Mail).

And as she and Bloom, 33, anxiously await the arrival of their first child,Evisu, Kerr says she’s already planning to continue modeling after the baby is born.

The normally tight-lipped supermodel — who wed Bloom in a quiet ceremony in July — recently opened up about her nuptials in Sydney’s Morning Herald.

“I’ve always been open about wanting to be a mother one day, and I’ve always thought Orlando would be a great dad,” Kerr said. “I think having children and pregnancy is a part of life, I look at how models like Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio have done it and made it a part of their lives.”

Chanel did them. So did Louis Vuitton. So, say hello to this spring and summer’s hot trend: The high-heeled clog.

I have always loved clogs because I grew up as a hippie child in Greenwich Village, and they were all around me. You apparently have a style addiction to your earliest fashion memory. So, yes, my closet is a combination new stuff, older stuff and the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Every time I see a clog or that Doctor Scholl look, I go bananas and collect. And if that’s not all, the heel height makes me crazy because being a short girl, the regular clogs make me look like I’m standing in a pothole.

The stylist Julia Freitag—a veteran of Germany’s short-lived Vanity Fair and a contributor to German Vogue—runs Styleproofed.com, where she tests and reviews appealing products. For Berlin fashion week, she called upon some famous friends—like Wolfgang Joop, Dirk Schönberger.brand clothing, wholesale and Michael Michalsky—for their own favorite products and items.wholesale clothing. The result,Wholesale Ed hardy t-shirts Jeans, the mini-exhibition Objects of Desire From Ten Fashion Designers, is on view in the gallery space of Berlin Weekly, where it’ll remain for another week after fashion week wraps. (It’s also online at www.berlin-weekly.com.)

Their picks range from the spartan to the luxurious. Joop—not usually renowned for austerity—selected a pair of organic black socks from his own label. Schönberger spotlighted his favorite KingSize tumbler glasses (above)—design objects compelling enough that he changed his signature drink from straight vodka to vodka tonics to give himself an occasion for them. Michalsky offered his giant Birkin bag (not usually a men’s item, but when filled,Wholesale Moncler Jeans, heavy enough that it might take a man to lift it; top). And the former Helmut Lang designer Kostas Murkudis used the opportunity for a little wishful shopping. He picked a black wholesale and red “Motorradhelm von Aspesi” moto helmet. He doesn’t own a Vespa—yet.

Here's how River City Rep bills the play by American-born Canadian author Murrell: "It's the 77th and last summer for Sarah Bernhardt,Citizens of Humanity, the most famous and revered actress in history. She's taken the season to dictate her memoirs to her loyal manservant, Georges Pitou. As she digs deeply into her memory, her private and professional recollections flow together to recreate a past filled with theatrical highs and personal heartbreak. In this dream state, Bernhardt struggles to fight against her failing energies and find a way to accept the day when the sun will soon rise without her."

Prinz recently toured in the role of Grandma Kurnitz in Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers, which played Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Cleveland Playhouse and Paper Mill Playhouse.

New York stage and TV veteran Rosemary Prinz will star as the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt in John Murrell's Memoir July 7-11 for River City Repertory Theatre in Shreveport, LA.

A string of similar measures to expand travel to and trade with Cuba have died without reaching a full vote by either the House or Senate in recent years, but it is unusual for so many prominent Cuban dissidents to join in supporting a single piece of U.S. legislation.

Cuba’s government offered no comment. It routinely dismisses activists who criticize the country’s single-party government as paid agents of Washington out to undermine the communist system.

Peterson’s bill must pass the House Committee on Agriculture before it can go to a vote by the full House.

It was released by the Center for Democracy in the Americas, a Washington-based group that advocates freer travel and trade with Cuba.

Signers include blogger Yoani Sanchez and hunger striker Guillermo Farinas, as well as Elizardo Sanchez, head of Cuba’s most prominent human rights group.

The declaration, addressed to the U.S. Congress, supports a bill to let Americans visit Cuba freely and expand U.S. food exports to the island.

HAVANA – Seventy-four Cuban opposition activists — including the island’s best-known blogger and a hunger striker who has garnered worldwide attention — signed a letter Thursday cheering proposed legislation that would lift the U.S. travel ban to their country.

Other signers included Miriam Leiva, a founding member of the Damas de Blanco, or Ladies in White, a support group for wives and mothers of 75 opposition activists jailed during a government crackdown on organized dissent in March 2003. Her husband, dissident economist Oscar Espinosa Chepe, also signed the letter, as did Juan Almeida Garcia, whose father fought alongside Fidel Castro during Cuba’s 1959 revolution and rose to the rank of vice president before his death last year.

While travel to Cuba is technically not illegal, U.S. law bars most Americans from spending money here. Cuban-Americans, journalists, politicians and a few others can visit with special permission from the U.S. government. Washington’s 48-year-old embargo chokes off nearly all trade between the U.S. and Cuba — though cash-up-front sale of American food and farm products to the island has been allowed for the past decade.

“We share the opinion that the isolation of the people of Cuba benefits the most inflexible interests of its government, while any opening serves to inform and empower the Cuban people and helps to further strengthen our civil society,Red Monkey,” the letter said.

Sanchez’s blog, “Generacion Y,” uses caustic, often witty posts to describe life in Cuba. In November,Abercrombie bags, President Barack Obama took the unusual step of providing written answers to questions she submitted to the White House.

The government released a statement saying Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez met with European Union officials in Paris on Thursday and that the EU should abandon its “common position” calling for a transition to democracy and better human rights guarantees in Cuba.

The letter applauds a proposal introduced on Feb. 23 by Rep. Collin Peterson, a Minnesota Democrat, that would bar the president from prohibiting travel to Cuba or blocking transactions required to make such trips. It also would bar the White House from stopping direct transfers between U.S. and Cuban banks. That would make it easier for the island’s government to pay for U.S. exports.

The announcement came a day after Manfred Nowak, the U.N.’s independent torture investigator, complained that Cuba had blocked him from visiting the country despite inviting him earlier. Cuba had said its invitation still stands but that a date for the trip has yet to be agreed upon. The government says it needs no independent verification it doesn’t torture.

Farinas stopped eating and drinking after the death of jailed hunger striker Orlando Zapata Tamayo on Feb. 23. He is not imprisoned but has received nutrients since then through a tube at his home in central Cuba.
