In a shocking revelation this week, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries. Just as her mother’s book is hitting bookstores across America. I guess since they couldn’t get Khloe pregnant to coincide with the book release, Kim had to get divorced. This family is nothing if not masters of multi tasking and attention whoring. I’m hoping if Khloe does get pregnant there is no two part TV special of the conception or the delivery.
But back to Kim.
My first initial reaction was Wow Lindsay Lohan had longer jail stays than Kim Kardashian’s marriage.
The attention whoring of that family isn’t the problem. They’ve found their niche. They know branding. They have made millions suckling at the teat of America’s obsession with all things Hollyweird. And train wrecks. I mean, thank god her father defended OJ during the murder trial, otherwise nobody would have cared about her sex tape that made her famous. Kim’s ex, Reggie Bush, has started doing commercials for Pizza Hut proving who the money maker was in that relationship; Kim’s vagina.
I have heard it reported that between the E! television Network’s deal to throw and televise the wedding, the honeymoon that was paid for, all the gifts, the sale of the ‘exclusive’ rights to the wedding photos, and the reality show, Kim made $140,000 for every day she was married. There has been talk around the media, that Kris Humphries was hand picked for Kim by ‘the powers that be’. They approached him, asked him if, for a rather large sum of money, he would date Kim for her reality show. He was reluctant to be on the show, but eventually agreed. I’m wondering how much he sold his dignity for. Also? I’m sure the phrase ‘you will be always be known as Kim Kardashian’s ex husband’ was uttered in the negotiations to get Kris Humphries to go along with this sham.
What I don’t understand is how is it completely acceptable for attention whores in Hollywood to make a joke of the sanctity of marriage for financial gain, when committed same sex partners aren’t granted the right to have an honest marriage? I can promise you E! Network won’t be offering the same deal to Neil Patrick Harris and his partner.
And that’s a wedding I’d pay to see.

I still can’t wrap my mind around how a marriage can fail in 72 days. It just boggles my mind.

@Megan, I don’t believe it was a real marriage to start with, therefore this isn’t a failure, this is just another stop on the publicity train wreck called the Kardashians. I think it’s BS that she’s making a mockery of marriage. But you have to give her an ounce of credit, she did stay married longer than Brittney Spears when she married Jason Alexander in Vegas. That marriage lasted a whole 54 hours.

The idea it lasted 72 days proves that her interest was never in longevity. Like a season of a reality TV show.
I can’t imagine anyone who wonders how a marriage like this can happen and keep a committed gay or lesbian couple that has already shown they are in a stable and loving relationship from being legally married would not have a frustrated mind.
Of course, the silence from those that are against same-sex marriage over this “traditional” marriage mockery speaks volumes.

@martymankins Those who stand against same sex marriage will not see the irony in this marriage and their beliefs. I guess the validity of a man/woman marriage is not important. Love apparently isn’t a factor either. Just as long as it’s one man. one woman.
Just another example of how screwed up this this country really is.

Can you imagine how fabulous NPH’s wedding would be. Hopefully he would do a song and dance routine at the reception!

@Sara, The wedding, the reception, all of it would be Fabulous. Kim Kardashian’s was just fabulously disgusting. And Fake.

The woman and the whole celebrity culture thing makes me a little sick, I dont understand how the world has ended up obsessed in the way it is.
Looking at the photo above there is a whole load more airbrushing on one side than the other, I will let you work out which side had had most work done!

@Lassa, Kris Kardashian was overheard saying “Of course she got married for money and not love…wait, that’s backwards isn’t it?”
Sure they photoshopped her into the picture because clearly she would never share the spotlight with him willingly.

@balimbing56, It’s not about validity, it’s just about it being a man and a woman, that’s all that is needed to make a real marriage. Love and commitment? Yeah, who needs those?
Sad….
