What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHeidi Klum's husband Tom Kaulitz skipped her annual Halloween party this year, and the Queen of Halloween walked the red carpet without him, E! News reports.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhy did he miss it? Was it a conflict?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTokio Hotel has a concert in Hamburg the day after Halloween.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe family has had a difficult night, and I'm treating this as a family emergency.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe had a gig the next day. That's a work trip. I'm fine with it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou say that, Chip, but she posted on Instagram, quote, Tom, I miss you.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLast year he came as a warrior turned to stone next to her Medusa.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorStone. So he did show up last year, just very still.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNow here's the detail that really matters.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKlum reportedly spent five to six hours getting ready, and people in hazmat suits helped her on the red carpet, according to Gateway Pundit.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIn press terms, that's a fully staffed arrival.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWait, who pays the hazmat crew, and do they get a plus-one?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Drama Index gives this a four out of ten, because the husband was working, the wife was working, and the only guests on the carpet in protective gear were also working.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFour. I'd have gone just to see the hazmat guys clock in.
