So much for the "sanctity" of marriage ...
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are divorcing after only 72 days of marriage, amidst claims that theirs was "a marriage of convenience" arranged by E! for ratings.
TMZ: "[Kardashian] cites 'irreconcilable differences.' The date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011. According to the docs, Kim wants Kris to foot his own lawyers' fees and she'll pay hers. And, she wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support. ... The couple has a prenuptial agreement."
"The pair's $10 million wedding cost approximately $138,888 a day as of October 31," adds MTV.
Kardashian's marriage was "arranged", according to new reports. "E! and Kim were interested in having her date a big New York athlete for the debut season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, which premiered in January 2011," RadarOnline reported last week. "Kris wasn’t Kim’s first choice. In fact ... Kim was so eager to date a basketball player that E! were calling around teams to matchmake with NBA athletes."
So much for the Defense of Marriage Act banning "sham" marriages that will "mock" the institution ...
When will E! launch a spin-off focusing on the divorce?
Did they really? Was this a surprise?

"Kim is a "savvy" businesswoman. ... She is building her brand ... Her mother taught her well. ... Kim will make a great actress ..."

What a slap in the face to all those gay couples who really want to be married. Some who have been in relationships much longer than 72 days. Rod you hit the nail on the head when you said "So much for the sanctity of marriage."
Having that said..... Is anyone really surprised?

Meanwhile, as the band played on, the vast majority of LGBT couples in this country who desire to get married and decidedly not as part of a publicity stunt or a presumed ratings bonanza, are prevented from doing so in the land of the free...

Ugh. This b*tch sucks. Its unfortunate that shams like these in front of God and the world are encouraged for ratings yet people who desperately love each other are denied civil rights. How blind can you be America. Kathie Lee better talk about this on the Today show!

Well, I was never sure that whores made good wives--that's why I shied away from long term relationships. To stick with just one man? One must be honest with one's self.
Besides, Mr Humphries' ding dong may a little too light colored for Miss Kim's tastes.

THIS STORY IS A JOKE AND THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL GAYS AND LESBIANS THEY CAN'T GET MARRIED. SOUND LIKE A REPUBLICAN TELLING PRESIDENT OBAMA THAT HE CAN'T RAISE TAXES ON MILLIONARES AND BILLIONARES TO FIX THE ECONOMY BUT HE CAN RAISE IT ON THE POOR AND CUT SOCIAL PROGRAMS...RIDICULOUS!!
