    Kim Kardashian files for divorce after 10 weeks

    By ANTHONY McCARTNEY - AP Entertainment Writer | AP – Mon, Oct 31, 2011

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just 10 weeks after their lavish, made-for-TV wedding and less than a month after the wedding special aired, reality starlet Kim Kardashian is canceling her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.

    The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star filed for divorce Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision," she said in a statement. "I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned."

    Humphries told celebrity news site TMZ he was "devastated" to learn his bride had filed for divorce and is "willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."

    The filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court provided few details, other than to state the couple have a prenuptial agreement that will dictate how they divide up their assets. Kardashian is asking that both sides pay their own attorneys' costs and that a judge terminate Humphries' rights to spousal support.

    Kardashian, 31, and Humphries, 26, were wed Aug. 20 in a star-studded, black-tie ceremony at an exclusive estate in California. The couple's wedding registry at a Beverly Hills jeweler included such items as a $1,650 coffee pot and two $1,250 sterling silver vegetable spoons.

    It was the first marriage for Humphries, who last played for the NBA's New Jersey Nets, and the second for Kardashian, who was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

    Kardashian's sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor.

    Kim Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out "Will you marry me?" in rose petals.

    The couple's marriage was the subject of a two-part special on E! Entertainment Television, which televises Kardashian's show that follows the model and her family.

    Entertainment media have breathlessly reported every available detail on the relationship, including signs of trouble earlier this month. Court filings show that Kardashian signed the petition on Sunday.

    Kardashian's divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, did not return a phone message seeking comment. Humphries' sports agent, Marc Cornstein, also did not return a phone message.

      Kim is the ultimate product prostitute. She is a bad example for other young women. I recommend that the public protest and refuse to watcher her show and refuse to use any product that she endorses. That will make her disappear.

      I really hope after all this, that this stunt turns around and bites her and her family in the #$%$ To mock marriage in such a way just to make a few extra bucks.

      Just think of all the good they could have done with what they spent on the wedding. Medical charities, homeless charities, children's charities. Anything would have made more sense.

        How about you give money to all of those organizations, and don't worry with what other people do with their money?

      She should have given all the money she spent on the wedding to some charitiy groups, they would have made better use of it. She is just in it for the money anyway - it was not love -- its MONEY.

      With so many important things going in the world, why would these people even get air time? Her ten million dollars could have fed a lot of hungry children or helped St. Judes or some other charity. I have never watched that show and never will.

      What a waste of a human life. All that money thrown away for the wedding and she can't give it more than 10 weeks. There are so many people in the world in need and they have just thrown all that away. How can you say you tried when you only gave it 10 weeks? Geez...

      Seriously, anyone who actually pays attention to the Kardashian Family OR the Jersey Shore nimwits, should have their IQ tested. Look up the word Narcissism and you will find their pictures.

      Poor little spoiled rich #$%$ She just wanted a wedding to plaster her face on magazines because wanted to out do everbody else. It was just a publicity stunt anyway for the show. .God how does such a nobody get so much publicity..She should try living a real live someday and get out of her reality life for a while.

      Honestly, who cares?? A talentless woman who has about as much genuineness as a shoe. LOL Just another over-priced, over-indulgent celebrity. While people are losing their homes, going hungry we have idiots like this in the "news?" Gads, maybe it really is the end of the world. lol

      he finally woke up ... and probably couldn't put up with her family much longer... she's a rich little ho.. period... her sisters are following right behind...didn't he get it when he found out she'd been married before and didn't tell him what kinda mess is that... what a waste of millions of dollars on a marriage that only lasted 2 months... he saw the signs but guess hoped she'd be a better person than she truly is... she thinks they'll remain friends... what a croc... he'll go on hating her the rest of his life... she bought that with her fairytale wedding... Loser Kim... Loser Kim...

      So, the big question: Is she keeping the ring? I for one, think the right thing to do, is give it back to the guy. Just my humble opinion.

      Disgusting that these Kardashians will use marriage as a means of drumming up ratings and attention. I wonder how much Humphries was paid to be a part of this charade. After all, he is essentially nothing more than a 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' employee.

      A new low even for her. I just don't get the whole Kardashian thing. Nothing redeeming, and they cash in big time. Only in America, and we should be embarrassed.
