Miranda Kerr has a new interview with the Sydney Morning Herald where she’s drinking tea with her grandmother and talking to journalists. It’s very proper and fancy. Her grandmother, Anna, seems like someone I’d want to hang with (you can see her photo here). As for hanging with Miranda, that depends on the day. I appreciate her industriousness and ability to market herself past being a VS angel. What’s interesting is how Miranda dragged grandma to this event. Anna Kerr gave a February interview about how Miranda never visits her family when she comes home to Australia. Well, Miranda decided to hang with her grandma in Sydney to promote her fine china teacup collection for Royal Albert. Score 1000 points for grandma. This interview is funny because Miranda is acting fake-humble:
Chatting up grandma: “My grandmother taught me the importance of routine, because she had four children and had many grandchildren. She said that it’s important for children to have a routine and structure [so] that they feel comfortable and safe. So I try to do that as much as I can. With [my son] Flynn, if I go away for a day or two, he’ll stay in his routine and have that structure and then if I go somewhere for over 10 days – like for instance when I was here in Australia – I bring him and then we have our routine here in Australia.”
Miranda loves to visit family: “Seeing my family is my favourite part of coming home to Australia. I also really miss the Australian mentality; it’s a much more laidback lifestyle. And I miss the Australian accent, so it’s really refreshing to come home and hear people say, ‘Oh g’day mate.'”
Dealing with the paps: “I try to just accept it because obviously they’re doing their job so I have to respect that. It comes with the territory. Of course it’s frustrating and especially when I have a day off, I wish I could just have a day off and not be photographed. [W]e want to be able to live our lives. Like the amount of escape plans that I have – I can’t even tell you about them because then people will know my methods of escaping. Sometimes it takes hours to try and find a way so that we can just go to the park without being photographed. But sometimes we’re just like, ‘You know what, we’re just going to go the park because I can’t be bothered to try and get rid of them.'”
Is she dating James Packer? “We’ve been friend for years. [Rumours] happen all the time with me, it happens to Orlando [too]. We understand it. As long as we both know [the truth], then it doesn’t really matter what people think. People can speculate as much as they like.”
Is she looking for a boyfriend? “No. I’m really happy and content to just be single at the moment and to be focusing on Flynn and my work. It keeps me very occupied. Of course going on a date here and there is fine if it fits into the schedule [laughs].”

Whatever Miranda is doing is working. She’s Forbes’ 2nd highest paid model for the past year. Yeah, she’s blowing smoke out her pert derriere when she complains about the paparazzi. That’s nothing new. I can believe that she’s not currently dating James Packer, but he didn’t get into a street brawl over her for no reason. Miranda’s looking for a new man, and we all know it. There’s nothing wrong with that, but she doesn’t have to play coy.

I read somewhere that Miranda can hold a plank for 10min. For that superhuman feat alone, I give the girl a slow respectful clap.
Holding a “plank” for 10 minutes and hold the “wood” for 10 minutes are two different things.
I think there’s been too much traffic for her to hold on for 10 minutes. Horror of horrors, she allowed Bieber to fill her with his dna. That was plenty for her to lose what little appeal she had.
She looked like she was content being single while she was still married. Something about her is unlikable. She just seems…. insincere???
She gives me the creeps.
I think just the opposite, she love herself…. too much.
She never actually denies dating Packer, unless I’m missing something.
Noone actually says g’day mate in Australia. Especially not within earshot of Miranda in Sydney, in the places where she would be frequenting. Perhaps if you’re in a pub in a small town…but even then… you’d be more likely to get a “howyagarn?”
She’s so full of it, so pretentious and fake humble, phoney earth mother bs.
Untrue. Gday is more common than you think!
Do you really think so? Ive lived in Australia for 33 years, in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. I work in retail so im around the general public alot. The only times i can recall ever hearing anyone say “g’day mate” unironically is on the tv… if someone I know greeted me with a “g’day mate”, i would think they were being facetious. Unless I was in a pub in Broken Hill. Kinda like Fosters beer and boomerangs.
So James Packer dumped her then? I suspect she was a little too pricey for him. For rich men hate over paying, for their toys.
Plus Kerr strikes me as a girl not looking for another husband. Much less one that is near being 50.
I don’t care whom she is dating, what interests me more about her is how driven she is and I admire that!
I don’t think she’s really complaining about the paps, just saying they are annoying but she has to learn to deal with it. I think that’s a very understandable and respectable stance, especially when other people out there are comparing it to getting raped.
Yeah I agree. She comes off much better than Charlize.
She looks like Chuckie.
It seems that after being divorced, much of your time should be devoted to your child. I know it was for me.
Does Miranda believe her own drivel? The woman is delusional when it comes to her involvement with the paps. The paps that she calls. Spending hours figuring out ways to avoid the photographers? Pull my other finger, Mir.
