Wendy Williams speaks her mind about Heidi Klum’s new relationship and it is not nice. Last Tuesday on The Wendy Williams Show, Williams criticized the Victoria’s Secret model, insinuating that Klum and bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten began their relationship while Klum was still married to Seal. She even went as far as implying that intimate moments may have taken place under Seal’s nose while Kirsten worked for the family the past four years. “Seal, you know what that means — and not just when you were out of town.” The TV host ended with giving Seal advice on revenge. “I don’t how much you’re worth, but she’s worth more. You need half. You need yourself a new girlfriend; someone young, hot and with a long future in modeling, and really fertile.”

With all her professional successes and a gorgeous family, Nicole Kidman is grateful for what she has. However, her life has not always been grand. In a recent interview with DuJour, Kidman speaks of the highs and lows in her life, including her painful divorce from former husband Tom Cruise. When discussing her love for Cruise, the star of upcoming movie Grace of Monaco said, “I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him.” At 23 years-old, she had married Cruise in 1990. Just a few months after their 10^th wedding anniversary, Cruise delivered a major blow to her when he decided to separate. “It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system,” the mother of four confessed. Over time, Kidman, 45, healed from her divorce and eventually found love again in current husband Keith Urban. “I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life… My family is with me.”

Break-ups in Hollywood mean more than just broken hearts; they also mean no longer seeing them pose together on the red carpet, waving goodbye to those PDA-filled paparazzi shots, and saying sayonara to those lengthy interviews where they gush about how much in love they are. Here are three celebrity break-ups that had us crying:

Although Tom Cruise has moved on from his divorce to ex Katie Holmes, he deeply misses Suri. With his new role in the upcoming action film All You Need is Kill, Cruise has been based in London since August for pre-productions, which has made it virtually impossible to see his 6-year-old daughter. As reported by a friend to People, Cruise, 50, has said, “I’ve got to see her.” Adding to that difficulty is Suri’s permanent relocation in New York City, where she began first grade at the private Avenue’s School in Chelsea. However dim, all is not lost. The first grader is still able to have a relationship with her father, via phone, several times per day.

Ever since Katie Holmes filed for divorce from her former beau Tom Cruise, their six-year-old daughter has been acting out, according to UsMagazine.com.  Ever since the power couple decided to call it quits, Holmes has been toning down her lavish lifestyle and is trying to spoil her daughter, Suri, a little less. Cruise has been known to spoil his little girl to pieces, for example, spending over $6,000 on their recent helicopter excursion to The Hamptons. Holmes, though, is taking a different parenting route by enrolling her daughter in an elementary school that calls for a strict dress code. The young Cruise is not too happy about the recent changes, though. According to Holmes, she still needs time to adjust.
