Emmy nominee Heidi Klum may only be a few weeks away from having a baby girl, but she refuses to give up her high heels.
Last night, the hot mama hit Los Angeles Confidential's pre-Emmy party wearing 7-inch leopard-print heels and a tight black dress to show off her baby bump.
"Even at the Emmy's, I'm gonna wear high heels all night, and when I can't do it anymore, then it's time to go home," she said of her plans for Sunday.
One major event she might not make it to this year? The Victoria's Secret fashion show. The supermodel says she doesn't think she can bounce back in time to strut her stuff...
"The last time [I gave birth], I had two months, and I don't know if I have that much time this time," she confessed on the carpet. "It was pushing it the last time. But if I don't make it, I'm sure I'll be very sad."
As for baby names, Heidi said she and hubby Sealhave four or five ideas, but are waiting to see their little girl before deciding on one.
Inside the bash at a private estate in Bel-Air, Heidi mingled with guests sipping Stoli cocktails and Sapporo beer.
Her friend Debra Messing came to toast her Confidentialcover, as did Twilight's Rachelle Lefevere.
11 Things I learned about TV and TV Stars at the Pre-Emmy Parties

Emmy weekend is a veritable smorgasbord of TV scoop! At yesterday's pre-Emmy gift lounges and parties, including the Entertainment Weekly/Revlon party at the Beverly Hills Post Office building, the HBO Luxury Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, and the Los Angeles Confidentialmagazine bash at Les Deux in Hollywood, I talked to some of our favorite stars and caught up on their lives and on what's to come on their shows.
So much more dish to come from these events (so much that my head is positively swimming!), but for now, I can tell you what Daniel Dae Kim knows about the impact of moving the Lost island, whyMindy Kaling thinks this season of The Office is major sexytime, and what Tricia Helfer knows about the final Cylon...
1. LOST: At the Entertainment Weekly/Revlon pre-Emmy party in Beverly Hills, Daniel Dae Kim spilled a little tidbit about the "very bad things" that supposedly happened to the Left Behinds after the Oceanic Six were rescued: "There are definitely consequences to moving the Island. There are some that will pay a heavy price. Some people will suffer physically, some will suffer psychologically..." And at the HBO Luxury Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel, Jorge Garcia dished that when he got the first scripts for season five he was "shocked" and that Hurley has some big changes in store this season...
2. THE OFFICE: According to Mindy Kaling, this season of The Office is all about gettin' jiggy: "This is definitely the most scandalous season of The Office, for a lot of characters. I, this past week, had so many makeout scenes I can't even tell you. I can't say with who, but my parents can't watch this episode, because Kelly's doing so much making out."
3. DEXTER:Julie Benz and Valerie Cruz (who plays Jimmy Smits' wife on Dexter this season) have become really good friends in real life (just as their characters become good friends). They told me that to show off their best-friendiness, they bought matching unicorn necklaces—and then they got matching rashes from the metal!
4. CHUCK: According to Zachary Levi at the EW bash, where the Seagate-sponsored deejay spun everything from Neil Diamond to Kanye West, it's very likely that we'll meet one of the Bartowski parents on Chuck this season. "I'm not at liberty to say which one, but I think it's going to happen."
5. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: The ragtag fleet reassembles! According to Grace Park (love her!) at the EW party, several Battlestar Galactica castmembers—including Park herself, her real-life husband and her onscreen BSG husband, Tahmoh Penikett—are living at Jamie Bamber's house in Studio City while Family Bamber is in London for Bamber's gig on Law & Order: UK. And over at the Los Angeles Confidentialpre-Emmy party sponsored by Sapporo beer and Belvedere vodka, Tricia Helfer spilled, "We will find out who the fifth Cylon is a lot earlier than the series finale—it comes up early in the last 10 episodes."
6. ONE TREE HILL: Don't worry, fans of Q. According to Robbie Jones at Les Deux, "There's more Quentin to come" on One Tree Hill.
7. BURN NOTICE:Jeffrey Donovan told me at the EW party that during the winter-season episodes of Burn Notice, Michael Weston and Carla finally have a showdown—and one of them gets shot.
8. WEEDS: The woman of the hour at theBorgata and Le Vian-sponsored Los Angeles Confidential party was Mary-Louise Parker—she's their September cover girl—and when I asked about the possibility of a Nancy-Andy romance on Weeds, she said that she didn't feel it was "inappropriate." Yay. I love the chemistry between Mary-Louise and Justin Kirk.
9. PRIVATE PRACTICE: According to Audra McDonald at the Los Angeles Confidential party, the practice is in major financial trouble this season. She says, "We are on episode 11, and we still don't know if the OceansideWellnessCenter is going to make it."
10. 24:Jean Smart told me at the HBO Luxury Lounge that she has told the producers of 24 that she wants back on the show. "I will shave my head and wear a straitjacket, mumbling in Russian, just to get back on 24." Come on, guys—that's an offer you can't refuse!
11. 90210: At the Los Angeles Confidential bash, Ian Ziering, aka the original 90210's Steve Saunders, says of Kelly's son, "The kid may be Dylan's, but he looks like me!" Hmmm...
So much more to come, but have to run now and get ready for the red carpet! Post your reaction to this dish in the comments!

Someone get Selma Blair a Hooters baby tee and a pair of Daisy Dukes!
Believe it or not, the Hellboy II: The Golden Army star once dreamed of straying for a moment from acting to show off some T&A in a music video.
"I wanted to be the cheesy pretty girl in a video," Blair says in the new issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine, adding, "I want to be the air-brushed girl, like in an Aerosmith video. Glamorous, sweet, pretty, sexy...Everything I'm not seen as."
While that's debatable, her new sitcom role will probably increase the indulgence factor.
Selma stars as MollyShannon's self-absorbed spoiled daughter in the upcoming Kath and Kim. "I was in Budapest for six months shooting Hellboy II, getting tired of being away on location so much," she remembers. "My life seemed really fragmented. I wanted to stay in one place longer. So I thought it might be nice to go and do a TV show."
Even so, Blair opines that producers and the network may have regretted her casting after watching her recently promote the series to potential advertisers. "You're selling soap!" she explains, with a laugh. "I'm not a good soap salesman. I'm not a good anything salesman...So it's like, 'Oh, God, they might not be happy that I'm on their team.' I'm not good with the forced smile."Courtesy of FGPR
Duff: "It Obviously Didn't Want to Go In My Pants"
“I really did [put a live scorpion down my pants]. It was scary. I grew up in Texas, and we had plenty of scorpions, but I never had to put one down my pants before. And my pants weren’t that baggy, so I couldn’t get any space. I did it a couple of times with it going down my leg, and it was terrifying. The little thing kept doing backbends because it obviously didn’t want to go in my pants, you know? Everyone on set was cheering!”
—HilaryDuff, in the new issue of Los Angeles Confidential, discussing her reluctant costar in the new film War, Inc. At least we hope it was her costar and not just some weird Hollywood hazing technique.
Courteney Cox has some bad news for her best buddy, Jennifer Aniston, arguably one of the paparazzi's most sought-after targets.
Cox predicts that the pesky shutterbug craze won't be dying down anytime soon. “I can’t imagine it not continuing to be as salacious and addictive as it is now,” Cox says in the new issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine, adding, “I don’t think it’s going to stop.”
The Dirt star also tells the mag that the secret to her successful marriage to DavidArquette is alone time—from each other!
Earlier in the year, Arquette asked Cox if she wanted to go to Sundance with him. “I asked, ‘Do you want me to come,' ” Cox explained. “And he said, ‘Well, I mean, it’ll be a different trip if you do,’ which means, ‘Please don’t come.’ We just kind of know where I’m going to add to the fun, and where I’ll be the one saying, ‘Oh, boy, what are we doing?’ ”
Sounds like that was the case last night. Arquette was spotted at Bank nightclub at the Bellagio in Las Vegas with five friends. Cox was nowhere in sight.
No word yet if she'll be joining him on Wednesday at the Hollywood premiere of celebrity photographer Jeff Vespa’s writing and directorial debut, Nosebleed. The short film stars Arquette as a man who suffers from uncontrollable nosebleeds after he breaks up with a girl.
For anyone who thinks Hollywood's skinny-minnie starlets don't eat—especially right before the Oscars—you should have lunch with Kate Beckinsale.
"I'm starving," Beckinsale said when she sat down at this afternoon's Los Angeles Confidential magazine luncheon in her honor, at the Mondrian hotel's Asia de Cuba restaurant. "I'm just gonna shove it all in!"
And that she did. The British beauty didn't hold back, enjoying—ready?—tuna tartar, calamari salad and black bean and chickpea dumplings, hearty pieces of Alaskan butterfish and chicken palomilla and even some helpings of side dishes like plantain fried rice with avocado salad.
Calories aside, she showed off her stunningly in-shape physique in a Michael Kors minidress. She did the same last night in a vintage YSL (above) at the Art of Elysium benefit at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
No word, however, on what she and Paula Abdul had to chat about. But by the time lunch was over, Abdul had slipped her number to Beckinsale. Maybe she's hoping to score American Idol tickets?
Meanwhile, Beckinsale tells Los Angeles Confidential that her celebrity status in Hollywood—she recently moved to the West Coast from London—"occupies quite a small part of my life.
"I'm in complete denial about being a celebrity," she says. "I spend 80 percent of my time in my kitchen, and occasionally I'm wheeled out to pretend to be Kate Beckinsale for awards shows. I'm not at nightclubs every night, but I'll take my kid hiking, and several paparazzi will show up, and it's like, 'What? I'm not shaving my head in public. You need to leave me alone.' "
