After McDonalds Japan Firing Ronald and hiring new McHotties for their ads, now it seems as if McDonalds US is following its footsteps. The Victoria's Secret model Heidi Klum has signed a two year endorsement contract with McDonalds USA.

"Heidi is the best partner. She's a young mother and represents modern lifestyle," said McDonald's spokesman Alexander Schramm.

The German model is set to begin shooting commercials for the all-American fast-food chain in January, Schramm said.

"I like to be healthy and eat well, but I also like to have a good time and have an occasional glass of wine or French fries," Klum said in an interview earlier this year with the London newspaper the Mirror. "I also travel like crazy, which can mess up anyone's training and eating schedule," added Klum, girlfriend of the British pop singer Seal, who once worked at a McDonald's in London.

Klum is also the spokeswoman for Target stores and Birkenstock shoes.

Seems as if McDonalds is really revamping its brand image
