Kate Upton Lands a Vogue Cover and Clarifies: 'They're Natural!'

Just goes to show how much can change in a year — not only was Upton a guest at this year’s ball (though puzzlingly, she seemed to have missed the memo on the theme), but she landed one of the most coveted modeling gigs around: a Vogue cover.

In the June issue, on stands May 21, the blonde bombshell talks about her body and much more.

As a matter of fact, despite Vogue‘s own commentary on her curvy body last year, Upton shrugs off anyone who doesn’t appreciate her figure.

“The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size,” she says in the interview. “They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things.”

And plenty of people have no interest in changing her — in fact, Upton is the highest-ranking model on Maxim‘s just-announced Hot 100, and she’s landed two Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers in a row. And now that she’s got the Vogue seal of approval, we have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future.

What do you think of Upton’s big cover?

Kate Upton goes 'Vogue,' covering its June issue

Upton tells Vogue that runway modeling is "not what I set out to do" and that she desires to front a major fashion campaign and maybe even launch her own lingerie line.

She also says she would like to continue acting. Upton has appeared in "The Three Stooges" and "Tower Heist." She's also got a part in an upcoming film called "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.

Of her various goals she says, "I'm American — more is more!"

This week, Upton attended the annual Met Ball in New York, which is hosted by Vogue.

The Vogue June issue goes on sale May 21.

Niki Taylor: My Kids Make Me Happier Than I Ever Imagined

“Ciel is a princess tornado!” Taylor, 38, told PEOPLE Saturday after she launched March of Dimes’ March for Babies at Miami’s Tropical Park.

“But she loves her brother. They play together every morning, and she helps him learn how to do new things. Now he is switching to solid food.”

The Nashville-based mother-of-four — twin sons Jake and Hunter, 18, live with their grandparents in Fort Lauderdale where they have childhood friends and jobs — is enjoying every minute of watching her babies grow.

“I love Rex at this age and am so glad he is home so I can enjoy everything about him,” says the Having It All host. “We have playdates at indoor parks like The Monkey’s Treehouse [and] then Ciel joins us at the zoo after school.”

More recently, they stopped off at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens to take in all the flowers in full bloom. “Ciel loves to pick the flowers, and Rex is fascinated by the colors,” Taylor says.

Having planned a full schedule for the summer — which includes school for Ciel and swim lessons for both children — the former super model is already looking ahead to the fall season, when she will begin training for a triathlon.

“I can’t sit still. I have to be super busy,” Taylor says. “I figured I can run and bike pretty well, but I need to learn how to swim rapidly. I am going to work on that and am excited about adding the triathlon dimension to my life.”

While Taylor is busy pounding pavement, her husband, former race car driver Burney Lamar, 32, will happily fill in on the home front.

“Burney is an amazing dad who cooks, takes care of the house and does everything with the kids,” she says. “Ciel has him wrapped around her finger.”

Married for seven years, Taylor and Lamar plan to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in 2016 by taking a much anticipated trip to Europe.

“Burney has never been there, and the kids will be old enough to keep busy while we are away,” she says. “When we met, neither of us believed we would ever marry anyone. But over the years, we have built a genuine relationship filled with love and respect. And the children have only made it stronger.”

Naomi, Vlad taking a break

We’re told the pair, who have been dating since 2008, “have been taking a break” as the British beauty’s career continues to soar with her TV show “The Face” a hit in the US and taping in the UK, while she also appears in a sizzling shoot on the cover of Vogue Brazil.

Doronin was noticeably not with Campbell as she attended numerous Oscar parties in Hollywood in February. The couple were last seen together on the beach in Miami in March.

A source told us, “Naomi and Vlad have broken up, and he’s been out partying in New York.” A spy added that Doronin was recently spotted at the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel, flirting with a blonde.

Another source said, “Naomi and Vlad have a complex relationship, and sometimes break up and make up.” The source added, “In many ways their relationship is like a business arrangement. Naomi brings glamor to his hotels and properties, and he treats her extremely well. But they spend a lot of time apart due to work commitments.”

Campbell, 42, threw Doronin an extravagant 50th birthday bash last November in Jodhpur, India, with guests including Kate Moss, Eva Herzigova and Karolina Kurkova.

Doronin, who has been building a futuristic mansion for Campbell in Moscow, is expected to be among the guests at her 43rd birthday bash May 22, which is reportedly taking place in Ibiza.

Despite his long relationship with Campbell, Doronin has not divorced his wife, Ekaterina, even though they are believed to have separated in about 1998. Prior to their split, Ekaterina was married to the property mogul for 24 years, and they have a teenage daughter, Katia.

Campbell’s rep did not comment. Doronin could not be reached.

Eva Herzigova Welcomes Son Edward James

The model mama, 39,and her husband Gregorio Marsiaj welcomed their third son together Saturday, April 20, Storm Model Management confirms to PEOPLE.

Born in London, baby boy Edward James joins big brothers Philipe, 2, and George, 5½.

“Greg and I are so happy to have added to our family and feel very blessed to have three children,” Herzigova tells PEOPLE exclusively. “George and Philipe are very excited about their new baby brother and cannot wait to play with him.”

Shortly before announcing her pregnancy in December, Herzigova became the new face of Dior Capture skincare and also stars in the new Prada campaigns.

Is Miranda Kerr Losing Her Victoria's Secret Angel Wings?

According to reports, Victoria’s Secret has decided not to renew Kerr’s $1 million contract, despite the star being one of the brand’s most recognizable faces.

Though the brand won’t confirm the speculation, sources behind the scenes tell PEOPLE there’s some truth to the pervasive diva rumors. “She can be difficult at shoots and appearances. She’s not very timely,” the source says. “She’s standoffish with the rest of the girls.”

But that wouldn’t be enough to get her the ax, the source continues. “If Miranda and Victoria’s Secret part ways it’s not because of her behavior. It’s purely contractual. She’ll be coming back for the show but it’s unclear if she’ll be in future campaigns. But she is definitely one of the most popular models and in high demand.”

For their part, Victoria’s Secret released the following statement from president and chief marketing officer Ed Razek: “Miranda Kerr is one of the best models in the history of the business — and easily one of the most popular. She is also a consummate professional,” he wrote. “Any rumors to the contrary are simply untrue. While her international commitments have kept her away from us more than we’d like over the past few years, she will always be an Angel to me … In fact, I’ve already invited her to walk the runway in this year’s fashion show and, happily, she’s agreed.”

Heidi Klum and Family Return to Los Angeles After Frightening End to Hawaii Trip

Heidi Klum and her family arrived back in Los Angeles on Monday after an exciting end to their vacation to Hawaii.

Perched on the back of a golf cart, Klum, 39 and her oldest son, Henry, 7, looked happy to be home, especially after a trip to a Hawaiian beach turned dangerous.

On Sunday, Henry and two nannies got sucked into a riptide while swimming. Klum and her boyfriend Martin Kristen were able to rescue the group.

In a statement, Klum explained the harrowing scene: "We got pulled into the ocean by a big wave. Of course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water," she said.

"Henry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely."

Heidi Klum Saves Son From Drowning in Hawaii

Klum's 7-year-old son Henry was pulled away along with two of his nannies before Klum, 39, and her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten were able to assist them.

Klum and her family have been vacationing in Hawaii since March 24.

They include Roberts, who gets the lifetime leadership award for the "extraordinary grace and courage" she has shown in her fight against breast cancer and a blood disorder, according to a statement from von Furstenberg's Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation.

Each DVF award winner receives $50,000 for her cause.

Kate Upton: I'd Love to Go to the Prom, But ...

To be sure, of all the invitations that Kate Upton has received in the past year, none has been more memorable than the Los Angeles teen's playful video asking her to the prom.

"It was so flattering," Upton, 20, tells PEOPLE. "The video was so cute, and I really appreciated it. There was something about it that I knew I had to respond."

And good news for Davidson: he displayed a character trait that Upton likes.

"When a guy has a good sense of humor and confidence, that's attractive," she says. "This video was creative and funny. It made me laugh, and everyone loves a good laugh!

But … with modeling, acting and charitable obligations on the horizon, Upton says that her schedule is packed for May, the month of Davidson's prom.

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to go with him or not, due to my schedule," she says. "I want to, but I just don't know if I can make it work. But I really appreciated being asked; it made me feel really great!"

If she were to ultimately accept his invitation, Upton would have to go shopping.

"I feel like the best part of prom is picking out the dress, it's probably not actually the dance itself," she says. "I wore a very simple dress to my own prom; you don't want [to wear] something you'll regret. It was purple, and I loved it. And that was the best part of the whole thing! As for the prom itself, I don't remember it being anything more than any other school dance."

On Friday, Upton showed how full her schedule is. She spent the morning at the Arnold Palmer Medical Center, touring the facilities and meeting ill children in the Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders. After meeting with cancer patients – including a very excited teenage boy – she told PEOPLE about the perspective she's learned.

"I'm a model," she says. "I don't cure cancer like these doctors do. So I need to use what I have to give back," she says. "There is no question that I have been blessed – incredibly blessed – and I want to find ways to help others. I'm open to doing any sort of charity work, but I have a special place in my heart for children and animals."

In Vogue at last?

Heidi Klum Keeps Her Shape By Keeping Up with the Kids

"It's very hard to find time obviously to work out. I'm like a mom and dad in one," says the über-fit supermodel, 39, who separated from husband Seal last year.

"When I go shopping I put on my sneakers and my [fitness] clothes. I run through the store or I take the dogs and the children and I go up the canyon or I go into the backyard and I jump with my kids on the trampoline, so I try to put the exercise into my daily routine," she said at Thursday's launch of her Heidi Klum for New Balance Collection at Lady Foot Locker in Culver City, Calif.

Klum said she cooks healthy at home, but also doesn't dine on the pasta and pizza her kids love to order when they eat out.

While she gained 45 pounds with each of her pregnancies, "I have never really dieted," Klum said, noting, too, that she pays attention to what she consumes.

"You have to really look into it and understand it and understand food and what It does for your body and what it needs and doesn't," she said.

Kate Moss Gives a Sultry Reading of Fifty Shades of Grey for Comic Relief Charity-Watch the Hilarious Clip!

The supermodel read a steamy extract of E.L. James' raunchy novel Fifty Shades of Grey on Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 Breakfast Show today to raise money for Comic Relief.

The notoriously quiet catwalk queen took part in the radio station's bid to raise more than £200,000 [$301,000] for the charity organization, and she was required to read the BDSM book live on-air as part of the bargain.

Naturally, the 39-year-old stunner burst into a fit of giggles before she took the mic, admitting she was nervous to read the racy best-seller.

Moss begins narrating in a sultry and sexy voice as a silly score plays in the background, and we must admit, she sounds very convincing.

Kate keeps her composure as she recites the titillating text, but she blushes and burst into laughter immediately after she completes the charity task as the station cheers and screams.

Hey, if she ever gets tired of modeling, we think she just might have a career in audio books to fall back on.

Watch the clip for yourself and see!

Comic Relief's Red Nose Day takes place tomorrow.

Miranda Kerr Neck Brace Explained: Victoria's Secret Model Was in a Car Accident, Says Rep

The Victoria's Secret Angel's rep, Annie Kelly, confirmed that the 29-year-old Kerr was involved in a car crash on an L.A. freeway.

"She is in a lot of pain, but really we are just glad it was not more serious," the rep told Australia's 9 News website (via the U.K.'s Daily Mail).

According to Kelly, Orlando Bloom's supermodel missus was in a car with her assistant when they were rammed by another vehicle. The driver of the other car may face reckless driving charges.

The spokeswoman added that Kerr's 2-year-old son Flynn was not with her at the time, but as a result of the collision, the brunette beauty had to undergo MRI scans and now she's being tended to at home by her ever-doting hubby.

'He's taking very good care of her. He's an amazing husband," said Kelly. "Luckily, Flynn wasn't in the car.'

Feel better, Miranda!

Report: Elle Macpherson Is Engaged!

The supermodel and real estate developer dated for two years. They broke up last March, but have since reconciled.

Machpherson will reportedly move to Florida to be with Soffer, whose business is based out of Miami.

This will be the second marriage for both. Macpherson was married to photographer Gilles Bensimon for three years in the '80s. She also has two sons from a previous relationship with Arpad Busson.

Inside Kate Moss' hotel room at Louis Vuitton

A carpeted hotel corridor with a series of numbered doors was recreated inside the Louvre for the fall-winter 2013-14 show, to the sound of nostalgic piano.

Suddenly the doors opened, out of which slinked models in '50s wigs wearing satin dresses resembling slips. A bathrobe made from a man's coat followed a crepe dress made with motifs of an undergarment.

"It was about intimacy, the mystery of what's going on behind the door," said creative director Marc Jacobs. "It's Hollywood mixed with rive gauche."

The Hollywood-factor was certainly there in the roll call of top actresses lining the front row including Jessica Chastain, Madmen's January Jones and Naomi Watts, who's in Paris promoting her new film "The Grandmothers."

The numerous long fur coats — some of the most luxurious seen this season — also provided a glam-factor. Mink coats dyed in two tones and murky-colored astrakhan were stand outs — as well as crocodile bags lined with sheared mink, lashings of marabou feathers and hand-curled goose feathers.

"All sorts of creatures were lying around in embroidered form," joked Jacobs, who may indeed be responsible for emptying a local zoo.

Menswear touches like a button-less tailored jacket or the pajama print reined in the more overtly feminine lingerie looks, ensuring a nice overall balance.

But the show was also about Kate Moss.

The 39-year-old, possibly the most famous model in the world, strutted the catwalk sporting a sheer organza slip, with dense floral embroideries, to rapturous applause.

Jacobs, who conducted interviews backstage in red pajamas, said the show grew from his relationship with Moss.

"I've spent many, many, many nights over many, many years in hotel rooms with Kate, and we've always had a very nice time," Jacobs said. "And I'm sure many wondered what we were doing. I'm sure we showed off a lot (here) what we were doing."

Heidi Klum joins 'America's Got Talent' as its fourth judge - report

This addition of a fourth judge was first rumored after Melanie Brown -- aka Scary Spice -- was announced as a replacement for Sharon Osbourne on the show. Now TMZ has learned from sources close to NBC that "America's Got Talent" "scored the smokin' hot model in a last minute negotiation and Heidi hopped on a plane to New Orleans today ... where the show is holding its first audition rounds."

Though that wouldn't necessarily be proof of her involvement in and of itself, TMZ also has a picture of the "America's Got Talent" stage that shows Klum's name next to Brown's, Howie Mandel's and Howard Stern's. You can see it below. Do you think Klum is a good addition to "America's Got Talent"?

Reeva Steenkamp's Father: If Oscar Pistorius Speaks the Truth, 'I Can Perhaps Someday Forgive Him'

Speaking to the Beeld newspaper (and translated by the BBC), Barry Steenkamp – referring to Pistorius's claim that he fatally fired his gun four times at Reeva because he thought an intruder had broken into his house – said: "If it didn't happen the way he says it did, he must suffer and he will suffer."

Steenkamp also said, "It does not matter how much money he has and how good his legal team is, he will have to live with his conscience. But if he speaks the truth, I can perhaps someday forgive him."

The next hearing for the Paralympian, 26, is scheduled for June 4.

Besides setting bail at $114,000 – the amount is considered high for a murder trial in South Africa, reports The New York Times – Magistrate Nair Desmond also ordered Pistorius to relinquish firearms and passports, and to stay away from his home, because it is an official crime scene.

In addition, he is not permitted to contact witnesses, leave Pretoria without official permission or use drugs or alcohol. He is to report to a police station twice every week.

Arnold Pistorius, an uncle speaking on behalf of the family, told reporters Friday, "We are relieved by the fact that Oscar got bail today, but at the same time, we are in mourning for Reeva Steenkamp and her family."

Oscar Pistorius is reportedly staying at Arnold's home in an upscale part of Pretoria. News photos showed the athlete being picked up from the courtroom and driven away by his sister, Aimee.

Reeva Steenkamp's mother June told Beeld that the Pistorius family had sent a bouquet of flowers.

"But what does it mean?" she said. "Nothing."

Reeva Steenkamp: Funeral for Oscar Pistorius' Girlfriend Takes Place in South Africa

Friends and family members gathered together in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, to say goodbye to the late model on Tuesday, the same day boyfriend Oscar Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder in her death on Valentine's Day.

"There's a space missing inside all the people that she knew," Reeva's brother, Adam Steenkamp, told the press, according to NBC. "Everyone is sad understandably, but at certain points we were smiling whilst remembering Reeva because we only have good memories of her.

Following her cremation, a service for the 29-year-old took place at a small chapel, where one of the mourners told Reuters that Pistorius should definitely remain behind bars.

"He's a danger to the public," Gavin Venter said. "He'll be a danger to witnesses. He must stay in jail. He's already shown how dangerous he can be for what he did to Reeva."

Meanwhile, Pistorius appeared in a Pretoria courtroom on Tuesday, where a judge ruled that the track runner should be charged with premeditated murder. If convicted, the athlete known as Blade Runner would face a possible life sentence.
