Heidi Klum’s life after divorce

How does Heidi Klum do it? In addition to modeling, hosting “Project Runway” and “Germany’s Next Top Model,” judging “America’s Got Talent” and designing a line of intimates, the 42-year-old catwalk queen is also busy raising four children: daughters Leni

“He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake…” goes the classic Christmas carol, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” But what if the lyrics were about something even more terrifying than a large bearded man with a sack of gifts?

That’s the basis of new film which will more likely fill you with festive fear than cheer. Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Krampus,” a darkly festive tale of a yuletide ghoul, reveals an irreverent­ly twisted side to the Christmas holiday.

Directed by Michael Dougherty, “Krampus” stars Adam Scott, Toni Collette, Emjay Anthony, Allison Tollman, David Koechner, Conchata Ferrell, Stefania Owen and Krista Stadler.

When his dysfunctio­nal family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusio­ned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers.

All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.

Opening across the Philippine­s on December 2, “Krampus” is distribute­d by United Internatio­nal Pictures through Columbia Pictures.

“Women are capable of juggling a lot of balls—we do things that guys just cannot do. Men typically can juggle only one ball, and even then they’re like, ‘I’m confused. Should I put it in my right or left hand?’” she jokes in the latest edition of Redbook magazine. “A lot of them have a very hard time just trying to figure out what to do with that one ball. And often they want us to hold that one, too!”

Klum’s divorce from Seal was finalized in October 2014, but sharing custody hasn’t been a problem for the amicable exes. “Obviously things have changed, but they haven’t changed drasticall­y,” she says. “Seal was never your typical dad who left for work in the morning with his briefcase and would be home by dinnertime every night. He traveled a lot. The kids knew it was part of his job. I’m a mom and a dad at the same time.”

One thing that has changed over the years, though, is Klum’s body. “Would it be nice if my skin and body still looked the way it did when I was 25? Sure,” she admits. “But the fact is, your body changes when you have children; you get wrinkles as you get older. I like that I have laugh lines from smiling too much.”

Klum says she feels more desirable than ever, and it has nothing to do with her boyfriend of more than a year, art curator Vito Schnabel. Rather, it comes from the feeling she gets when she wears lingerie from Heidi Klum Intimates. “You walk a little differentl­y in something sexy versus knowing you wouldn’t want anyone to see you in your underwear,” the supermodel says. “I call those willpower panties. You wear them so you won’t show them to anyone.”
