Kaela Humphries is poised to make mark on the runway

Kaela Humphries is scheduled to walk NYC's Fashion Week runway for designer Richie Rich.

"I'm in New York. Just got here [Thursday]," said the Minnesotan who "moonlights" with Wilhelmina Models of Los Angeles. Medical sales rep is still the main job of the sister of NBA player Kris Humphries, but her profile is on the rise.

Since Kaela's new sister-in-law speaks often on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" about supporting family, I would imagine that Kris would have no problem getting his Sears-clothing-designing wife, Kim Kardashian, to help fill front-row seats for Kaela's turn at Fashion Week.

"I don't know. I haven't really asked anybody," Kaela said. "I know my parents are going to be there. I'm sure that if they [Kim and Kris] can be there, they will be. ... My parents? Parents, that's what they do."

In other words, William and Debra Humphries wouldn't think of missing this big event in Kaela's life. Neither apparently would some Minnesota friends, who are also flying in for Kaela's sashay down the runway.

Don't confuse Kaela with KhloePeople, people, people. Why are we having trouble distinguishing between Kaela Humphries and Khloe Kardashian?

A reader with "Mia" in her e-mail address reported that Kris Humphries' neighbors were swarming Kim Kardashian and her "sister Khloe" when a TV crew shooting for E!'s "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" was here on Tuesday. Mia even reported the TV crew lighting up a "swamp" near Kris' house for an evening shoot.

What I now know for sure: The TV crew and Kim were here, but Khloe was not.

Kaela Humphries told me if Khloe has ever been to the Twin Cities, it was no time recently. So Mia actually saw Kaela near the shoot.

"People think I look like her [Khloe] when my hair is straight," said Kaela. "We both have light eyes and are 5-10."

Kaela also thinks she was probably the one spotted running into Lunds, but the person waiting in the car was not Kim.

If you care, take another look at the "KUWTK" episode featuring Kris' marriage proposal to Kim. Kaela's at the dinner Kris arranged so his sister could meet the E! reality TV family.

FACES 9/11 donationsLori Fhima, wife of St. Paul FACES restaurant owner/chef David Fhima, said the business is giving 10 percent of the proceeds from its sales on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to the Tom Burnett Family Foundation.

Burnett, who grew up in Bloomington, was one of the passengers who battled the 9/11 hijackers on United Flight 93, preventing them from launching another attack on Washington, D.C. The plane instead crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside.

I also heard Lori was issuing a challenge to competitors to donate part of their proceeds, but she had not done so as of Friday afternoon. "Sometimes I get too cheerleady," she told me, "like, 'Oh, maybe everyone should do it!' I may still do it.

"But at least we're doing it."

Tweeting VikingWildfire brought out the urban food critic in one Viking.

I immediately called the restaurant's Eden Prairie location, where Manager Tom said: "We appreciated the feedback. We make it fresh daily and have a recipe that our chefs have put together. We use cream corn." Manager Tom also believes Shiancoe had the pistachio-crusted flounder.

Thursday night, when the Super Bowl champion Packers were working on that 42-34 home opening victory against the Saints, Shiancoe tweeted again: "Maybe they need to put some heat on Aaron Rodgers #justathought."

The Vikings may need Shiancoe to play defense if they're going to "put some heat" on Rodgers and the rest of the Packers, who look like they are going to be a handful this season.
