Hard at work on the new season of “Germany’s Next Top Model,” Heidi Klum hit the beach in Hawaii yesterday afternoon (February 28).

Joined by a collection of uber-gorgeous model contestants, Klum kept things modest with a loose-fitting black and white dress with a black studded belt as she filmed a few scenes.

Meanwhile, Heidi’s fabulous getup at the 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar Viewing Party last Sunday (February 24) elicited a very inappropriate response from “Fashion Police” host Joan Rivers.

During her commentary on the event, Rivers blurted out, “The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens.” Of course, Joan’s comments have been blasted by pretty much everyone, with one Holocaust survivor calling them “vulgar and offensive to Jews and Holocaust survivors.”

In response Rivers noted, “My husband lost the majority of his family at Auschwitz, and I can assure you that I have always made it a point to remind people of the Holocaust through humor.”
