Oct. 2 — -- Wouldn't it be something if you could grow an orange inside a cocktail straw?

Just stuff the seeds in there, water the thing, nourish it with some vitamin enhancer, some light, and several months later you've got a full-blown orange in a straw.

You're probably thinking: "There's no way. The circumference of an orange would surely bust through a narrow drinking straw. You, Heidi, are an idiot."

To which I would respond: "It's not nice, nor is it necessary, to call me names."

Then, I'd beg to differ with you, because something like that can happen. Contrary to popular belief, size does not always matter.

Case in point: Supermodel Kate Moss gave birth to a 6 ½-pound baby girl. How Does a Super-Waif Eat for Two?

Unbelievably, the 28-year-old waif-like (a word that must be derived from "wafer," something that is usually weightless, thin and crispy) creature actually conceived and birthed a baby with boyfriend Jefferson Hack.

Two things fascinate me about this. First, Moss has always been so ghastly thin it seems unfeasible that her body could hold inside of it anything bigger than a plum. Second and more disconcertingly, as she never appeared to eat for one, how did she bring herself to eat for two?

I can certainly rationalize these thoughts in my own head as I realize the female body has the ability to expand and contract with little effort. (It's called the "yo-yo" and I "know-know" all about it.) I also understand that having a child can create profound changes in a woman's mental state and overall behavior.

So, although Kate Moss was rumored to be into drugs, not into food, a heavy smoker, an all-around party girl and a devil to work with in the fashion biz, once she found out she was "with child," she may very well have been struck with those instant maternal instincts and changed her entire way of life.

It seems unlikely, as she has that "SUPERMODEL" rep, but again, it's not impossible. Would Kate Catwalk With a Stroller?

Plenty of models have had children. Elizabeth Hurley gave birth earlier this year. Claudia Schiffer is now pregnant.Paulina Porizkova has popped out a few kids. Rachel Hunter has 'em. Cindy Crawford has two, and Christy Brinkley three. The list goes on and on.
