London, Mar 5 (ANI): Supermodel Heidi Klum has revealed the ultimate beauty secret for a woman who is getting older-'don't be too thin!'The 37-year-old admitted that she loves to eat fatty chips and burgers.
The blonde German-born mother-of-four also confessed that she rarely exercises, yet still manages not to pile on the pounds.
"Sometimes I'll have a Big Mac - I love them, and I love chips." But she did, at least, admit that she enjoys lots of healthy salads too," the Daily Express quoted Klum as telling Easy Living magazine.
"The ultimate beauty secret for a woman getting older is, don't be too thin!" she said.
"It is always better to have a little meat on your bones. When you are just muscle you end up being gaunt in the face and that makes you look older by five or 10 years.

Lady Gaga's Catwalk Caper
Standing tall on towering 24-inch boots, Lady Gaga made her triumphant debut on the runway during the Thierry Mugler fall/winter 2011 fashion show in Paris on Wednesday.
As with all things Gaga, her appearance let the clothes horse showcase her many talents. In addition to modeling, Gaga did double duty as the show's musical director, and premiered her new song, "Government Hooker," as the attention-grabbing collection made its way down the catwalk.
Putting the seasoned pros to shame with her confident struttin' (at least one of the models was spotted staggering in her ridiculously high heels), The Lady made her first appearance of the night in a sheer black top paired with a long pencil skirt, waist-length blond pigtails, and a chic black hat, before returning at the end of the show in a fabulous all-white ensemble.
As her current hit single "Born This Way" blasted over the speakers at the conclusion, Gaga navigated the stairs at the end of the runway to greet the show's creative director -- and Gaga's top fashion collaborator -- Nicola Formichetti, who was presenting his first collection under the Thierry Mugler label.

Virus experts warn the next big threat is on mobile phones and attacks beginning

TORONTO - Virus experts are warning that the next big security threat is on mobile phones and that the attacks have begun in earnest.
For months, security researchers have been tracking how hackers were trying to take their exploits to a new platform and infect smartphones with malware that could remotely control the devices.
Earlier this week, Symantec released a report about the spread of an infected app called "Steamy Windows" on Google's Android platform. The simple but popular app makes it look like your screen is covered with steam, which can be cleared off with finger swipes.
Unknown hackers created a copycat version of the app, secretly loaded it with malicious commands, and released it to the web on unofficial app download sites.
It's not the first time such a threat has been detected, said Symantec's principal security response manager Vikram Thakur, but it's far more sophisticated — and successful — than what was previously spotted in circulation.
"It definitely had a lot more features than we've been seeing with Android threats in the past few months," said Thakur, noting the malware enabled a hacker to retrieve data from an infected phone, send out premium rate text messages, show advertisements, and launch any website.

Lady Gaga hits stage with Winnipeg girl
Ten-year-old singing sensation Maria Aragon of Winnipeg performed with her idol, outrageous chart-topping singer Lady Gaga, during a sold-out concert in Toronto on Thursday night.
The grade-school student, who caught Gaga's attention after posting a cover of Born This Way online, sang the American pop star's hit single with her about an hour into the show at the Air Canada Centre.
Maria strode out dressed in shiny black pants, a pink shirt and a white hat.
"I'm really excited that Maria is here today, because Maria represents what this song is all about," Gaga said .
"It's all about the next generation and the future, and no more divisiveness."
The 10-year-old sat on her idol's lap at the piano and the pair performed to a roaring, cheering crowd.
Gaga, who called Aragon "Lady Maria from Winnipeg," was in tears after the young performer left the stage.
"Lady Maria really belted it out," CBC reporter Sheila North Wilson said from the concert, which started more than an hour late. "The crowd loves her."
After the duet, Maria thanked her family and friends for their support before heading offstage.
"I'm just really grateful to all of you."

Shopping carts found to be dirtier than public toilets
Most people touch shopping cart handles every time they go to the grocery store, but a new study may have you wiping them down first.New research from the University of Arizona showed that 72 per cent of the 85 carts examined had a marker for fecal matter. They also found that half of 36 carts examined contained E. coli along with other bacteria.
"That's more than you find in a supermarket's restroom," said lead researcher Dr. Charles Gerba in an MSNBC story. "That's because they use disinfecting cleaners in the restrooms. Nobody routinely cleans and disinfects shopping carts."
Researchers swabbed cart handles in four states looking for bacterial contamination.
Gerba also said these results may explain other research that shows kids who ride in carts are at a higher risk of developing infections caused by bacteria.Canadian entrepreneur Sergeo Hristovski came close to solving this problem. He invented a machine called the 'Pristine Cart' that sanitizes carts as you push them through. After investing $120,000 of his own money, he took his invention to CBC's Dragons' Den in October of 2008.
The Dragons initially seemed interested, but when they asked if any retailers were on board, Hristovski said they were "extra cautious". Due to a lack of interest from retailers and the price tag of $6,000 per machine, none of the Dragons made a deal.

Baby gets gifts from grieving strangers
When Trey Brown was born last week at a Windsor, Ont., hospital, his parents, Lisa Kampf and Grant Brown, had no idea a family they had never met would make their baby's birth so special.
The Mamo family lost their 14-year-old son Bryce on Feb. 22 last year to cancer, and they decided to keep his memory alive by giving a gift to the first son born on the first anniversary of Bryce's death. That boy turned out to be Trey Brown.
At first, the parents didn't accept the gift bag filled with baby outfits. They hadn't announced to anyone that Trey had been born, and they thought the gift was meant for someone else. They didn't recognize the name on the card, but the hospital nurse explained the gesture, and they were touched.
"It was definitely a conversation stopper," said Kampf. "It just put a whole lot more meaning into him arriving, and to know that the unfortunate thing of losing a son, but we're gaining one — hopefully, Bryce is watching over our son, and we're very thankful to have him."

Space shuttle seen from above
On Thursday, the space shuttle Discovery blasted into space for its final mission. People around the world watched the liftoff, but only a lucky few got to see the shuttle from the skies.
Passengers on a flight from Orlando, Florida to Richmond, Virginia were treated to an unexpected kind of entertainment when they saw the Shuttle off of the left side of the plane.
One quick-thinking man named Neil Monday captured the experience on his iPhone. After he uploaded the two-minute clip to the Web, searches shot into the stratosphere. The video has been featured by multiple blogs and news agencies, including MSNBC.
Monday almost never got the chance. The flight he was on was scheduled to leave two hours earlier, but a delay kept it grounded. It's probably the first time in history passengers were happy about being delayed.
The video, which you can watch below, is, of course, visually stunning, but it also contains a pretty good joke, if you listen hard enough. While Neil records the shuttle's launch, the captain can be heard over the loudspeaker saying, "Those on the right side can see the space shuttle. Those on the left side can probably see the people on the right side looking at the space shuttle."
You gotta love airplane humor.
