Socialite Kim Kardashian is furious over her soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries’ allegations that she used their 72-day marriage as a ploy to increase her marketability.

According to sources, the 31-year-old is denying Kris’ claims, saying that,

She and her mom are marketing geniuses, so why would she set herself up to be skewered in the media by dumping her husband after only 72 days?

Because it’s free publicity? Because she’s been on the cover of scores of magazines since she dumped her the NBA star?  Because she’s had her name on the lips of every news magazine show host since the split?  Because the Kardashians will stop at nothing to remain in the public eye?

Take your pick.

Sources close to the E! star say that Kim has admitted that if the wedding was truly made for TV, she would have made it “way better, adding,

I’m no dummy.  The divorce would have been just as dramatic and dragged out as the wedding.

Wait, it’s not dramatic and dragged out?  Could’ve fooled me.

NBA star Kris Humphries is seeking an annulment of his 72-day marriage to socialite Kim Kardashian and according to sources, the Nets forward believes, “he was just slotted in the plot line of Kim Kardashian’s latest headline and newest business venture.”

Ya think!?

Apparently, Humphries feels that Kim K never planned to see their marriage through and just used him to boost ratings for her E! reality shows, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Kourtney and Kim Take New York.  A source close to Humphries even went so far as to say,

Once they were finished taping, she just didn’t need a groom anymore.

I’ll say it again: Ya think!?

Kris is devastated by the ending of his marriage and by the allegations that he was a part of the sham, but a childhood pal of the groom says that there was no way Kris had any inclination that the marriage wasn’t forever when he said “I do.”

He would have never flown in his childhood pastor to marry them and involve his church.

After all the efforts I’ve seen Kris make to attempt and reconcile, I have to believe he’s telling the truth here.  It seems like Kim just threw in the towel from the very beginning.  In the court of public opinion, I say we give the kid a clean slate!

After filing for divorce from husband Kris Humphries yesterday, socialite Kim Kardashian headed to LAX to board plane bound for Australia.  Nothing like running away from your problems, eh mate?

The marriage, which banked Humphries and Kardashian a cool $17 mil, only lasted for 72 days and is causing quite a bit of controversy in the pop culture media – and rightly so.  I mean, talk about ruining the sanctity of marriage.

Not that it’s really any of our business, but if I’m going to be forced to watch Kim Kardashian’s “Fairy Tale” wedding every time I turn on E!, I at least want a follow-up series about their lives together a la Khloe and Lamar!

Of course, I kid.  You couldn’t pay me to watch a show starring Mrs. White Bread and her husband Mr. Lamesville.

After only 72 days of marriage socialite Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband, NBA star Kris Humphries.

Weird.  72 is the exact number of days you have to stay married in order to not have to return the $17 million dollars you banked from your wedding.  What a krazy koincidence…

Ryan Seacrest, executive producer of the hit E! reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” confirmed the news about the split earlier this morning via his Twitter account.

Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.

Kardashian cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the break up and the couple, who did sign a prenup before the wedding, will not be seeking an annulment.

Regarding the ending of her brief marriage, Kim issued the following statement:

After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.

It’s always sad to see a marriage end, but these two just gave up after only 2 1/2 months of being husband and wife.  All I can say is – I want my toaster over back.

New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries may have just put a ring on Kim Kardashian over the summer, but the newlyweds are already fighting off break up rumors galore – including several magazine cover stories insisting the happy couple is headed for divorce.

So is it true or false?  Are Kim and Kris hitting the skids or have the paparazzi simply run out of celebs to torment this week?

If you guessed false… you’re right!

According to sources close to the couple, despite the fact that Humphries was seen “moving out” of the home he shares with Kardashian, the pair couldn’t be happier.   Apparently, photogs caught Kris with some cardboard boxes he and Kim were using to move out of the Gansevoort Hotel and jumped to some pretty serious conclusions.

Imagine that.  The paparazzi jumping to conclusions.  What is this world coming to?
