Victoria’s Secret Catalogue Subscribers Prepare ‘Miranda Kerr’s Mum’ Voodoo Dolls

In the scheme of celebrity news, there’s nothing better than a theoretical tragedy/scandal/disaster, i.e. when someone does an interview and talks about how they almost didn’t take that audition call/burnt their face off when their can of Pepsi fell into a deep fryer/found themselves trapped under a train, but it’s okay, because they didn’t, and here we all are, and isn’t it great to be me, er, them. So step right up, Gunnedah princess and Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr, and tell us about how your Mum almost ruined your glittering modelling career, but didn’t!

When talent scouts followed up photos of Miranda, sent to Dolly magazine’s annual model search contest in 1997, Therese admits she tried to foil their plans from the very start.

“I even sent in photos of her with crooked teeth so she wouldn’t win. I didn’t tell her until after she’d won. And she won, damn it,” laughed Therese.

Ohh, Muuuuuuuuuum! You’re soy embarrassing! Bless. But I don’t know why she goes on to say they still worry about their little girl, considering that Miranda is now earning millions each year and no doubt assisting the family financially. Then again, I guess it’s a nice change from the traditional stage parent genre, isn’t it? Aww, let’s all hold hands and have a nice bowl of strawberry icecream.
