Celebrities love endorsements. All they have to do is hold up a product and make a cool half a million dollars. The Kardashians for Quicktrim? Sure. Ellen DeGeneres and Sofia Vergara for Covergirl? Yup? Method Man for Sour Patch Kids? Wait, what?

These are the celebrity endorsements that are weird, bizarre, or that make you say, Whaaaatttt!

Khloe and Lamar Odom for Pistachios: The Kardashians will slap their name on ANYTHING. Apparently they’ve ran out of diet shakes, sneakers and alcohol, because Khloe and her hubby Lamar are now doing adds for Pistachios. To be fair, those are some classy nut ads. But still, it’s a commercial for a nut.

Sylvester Stallone for Pudding: Sly Stallone has been endorsing protein-products for a while now, but his ad for High-Protein Pudding is super weird.
Guys, just put on some matching costumes and work things out already.

Seal has reportedly filed a response to Heidi Klum’s divorce petition, and the two will most likely be disputing over their assets. Heidi Klum is worth an estimated $70 million, while Seal is worth $15 million. So this could be fun.

According to TMZ, Heidi claims there’s a postnuptial agreement, which means
Don't MISS out on Breaking News!
Disappointing news for those of you who were hoping Heidi Klum and Seal were going to get back together—Heidi has officially filed for divorce. Wa wa waaa.

Three months after announcing their split she decided to finally pull the plug on their marriage.
feel so betrayed. Apparently, we didn't know what was really going on inside Heidi Klum's marriage to Seal, and the model is finally breaking her silence on the matter. Heidi appears on the April cover of Elle, and in the mag, she talks about her high-profile, shocking split from Seal.

"To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides...
I’ll sum it up for you in two words: ‘Soul 2.’

Seal and Heidi Klum announced their separation and then Seal went on an album tour to promote his new record, ‘Soul 2.’ And during that tour he opened up a lot about his impending divorce from Heidi Klum. Meanwhile, she hasn’t said anything.
Based on all his interviews, I think it's safe to say Seal has no idea that he split up with Heidi Klum.

The two have four children together, and in an interview recently, Seal said it's his priority to make sure they're okay. In that same interview, he calls Heidi Klum his "wife," which I guess is still technically true.
It feels like only yesterday that Heidi Klum and Seal were getting dressed up like monkeys for their Halloween party and birthing babies with bizarre names like Leni and Johan, but alas it seems like there is going to be no reconciliation for this once happy couple.

Even though Seal and Heidi wore their wedding rings for some time after the split, Heidi is “moving forward” with the divorce.

“They have had very little contact and Heidi wants to keep it this way.
It didn't go with his bright yellow nail polish.

Maybe Seal didn’t think Heidi Klum was serious when she said, "I want a divorce." Because he kept wearing his wedding ring, for one, and then he straight up told people, 'eh, we're probably gonna get back together, how can she say no to this?' before lifting up his shirt and showing off his pecs.

But Seal made a bold statement as he flew to Sydney...
After Heidi Klum and Seal announced their shocking split, it was hard enough for me to leave the house, so I can't imagine how hard it must've been on Heidi.

While Heidi has been photographed out and about around Los Angeles, last night was her first big event. She shined on the red carpet at Wednesday's amfAR gala at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan.
And yes, she’s still wearing her wedding ring.

Heidi Klum and Seal continue to lead us on. They’re both still wearing their wedding rings, and Seal keeps talking about how they might reconcile. But a source says Heidi is complaining: “Seal won’t shut up.”

“They have zero plans to get back together,” a source close to Heidi told Us Weekly, adding that she’s saying she’s getting pretty tired of him opening his mouth up about the matter.
