Hollywood Sexy Babe: Salma Hayek loves keeping it simple

Salma Hayek insists lavish wedding ceremonies are a waste of money. The actress — who married long-term partner Francois-Henri Pinault in Paris in February — has denied she is preparing to renew her vows in a follow-up ceremony and reception for friends and family because she doesn’t see the point.

She told a magazine: “I think a wedding is about love, friends, family and fun. I think spending millions of dollars on a wedding is ridiculous and it has never been my dream. I would never do that.” Salma — who has a 19-month-old daughter Valentina with the businessman — said her wedding vows at a low-key ceremony in front of her mother Diana Jimenez and brother Sami. It was previously revealed the 42-year-old actress wore a white gown and carried a bunch of red roses for the intimate occasion. A source said: “The bride was extremely beautiful, even when she was crying tears of joy. They were extremely happy. She said ‘Oui’ before about a dozen guests.” Salma and Francois-Henri — who began dating in 2006 — called off their engagement last July, but eventually decided to get back together after taking two romantic trips to the French capital. A source explained: “He’s the sweetest guy when he’s around her. He’s good to her, always with her. They take the baby everywhere with him. They’re happy together, totally in love.”

Heidi Klum gives dieting tips

German supermodel Heidi Klum, who is pregnant, has doled out dieting tips to those who are taking to the ramp for the first time.

Klum, 35, who is the host of US reality television show Project Runway, urged models taking part at the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week to eat healthy.

“Eat healthy. You don’t need to starve, but you have to learn to look after yourself,” a British daily quoted her as saying. “In many cases, the girls eat garbage — things like pancakes and waffles and a lot of junk — which is not going to help them. You’d hardly see any of them eating vegetables or salads. Not even an apple. It was kind of shocking. I try to explain to them that they have to be fit. Models need to have some energy to be able to deal with long days at a photoshoot and taking red-eye flights and managing job after job. You won’t last if you’re not eating healthily,” she added.
