It’s been well established that scenes and plotlines are fabricated for “Kourtney and Kim Take New York.” They’re trying to make Kim out to be a sentient human being instead of the narcissistic impulse-driven cartoon cut out that her quest for fame, Botox and cash have turned her into. It’s not working at all and their efforts are transparent and fun to mock. On Sunday’s episode we got to see Kim crying to faux psychic medium John Edward about how hard her marriage has been. Edward comes up with a bunch of crap about the family that could be gleaned in five minute google searches and Kim gets all emotional when he brings up divorce. A video of that scene is below, and here’s more, from Radar:

On Sunday’s part one of Kourtney & Kim Take New York’s season finale, Kim Kardashian admitted she didn’t “want to be married anymore” to Kris Humphries, essentially putting to an end their 72-day marriage.

The sexy socialite came to the realization when she and sister Kourtney had a session with celebrity medium John Edward, who said he could reach their late father, famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian.

After the subject turned to divorce, Kim told sister Kourtney, “What was so crazy about that was when he was talking about the divorce stuff. I honestly feel like I can’t do this anymore with Kris — I don’t want to be married anymore — I feel like I got into this way too fast … you know, I’m not happy.”

 (Edward not only sensed stormy relationship waters, but Kourtney’s bun in the oven as well, asking the famous sisters, “I know you just got married [Kim] and I have to say this: Is somebody pregnant now?”

Another point of tension Sunday was Kris’s failure to tell Kim his sister Kayla, was visiting; in turn, Kim avoided the plus-size model to save her from the drama.

Kim said in an off-camera interview she felt uncomfortable around Kayla because of the friction between she and Kris: “I’m having such a rough time with him that it’s hard to let another one of his family members into my heart. 

”It’s better for all of us if I keep my distance from Kayla so she doesn’t catch wind that there’s tension,” Kim said.

Kim also went on Regis & Kelly “Live! With Kelly” this morning, and she denied that she got married or divorced for money. She gave just about the same answer she always does – she wanted a fairy tale, she wanted to be a wife and mother so badly. She never owns up to her mistakes and always deflects criticism.

“I think me being such a hopeless romantic I wanted to believe in something so badly.

“If this was a business decision and I really made all that money that everyone claimed we made from the wedding and it was just for TV, I’m a smart businesswoman, I would have stayed married longer. This is a bad business decision, do you know what I mean?

“If you really think about it, it doesn’t make sense that everyone says that. I really didn’t think that following my heart would create this much backlash.”

Ripa later said that the first year of marriage can be difficult and questioned Kardashian on why she hadn’t opted to stick it out for a little longer.

“I definitely tried everything I felt like I could, but I would also hear stories of people who had kids and started this life and stayed married for years and it ended up not working out,” replied Kardashian. “I just felt like if I don’t feel in my heart this is right then why wait years to have the same result?”

What great logic this woman has. She couldn’t have been making a business decision to marry Kris and then divorce him, because her image took such a hit, even though she didn’t anticipate it happening at all. And according to Kim she probably would have gotten divorced anyway since people inevitably have problems in relationships and she’s incapable of thinking of anyone except herself, so why bother at all? It’s just not worth it to work to have kids and a family in Kim’s world. It’s all about the Kash. Maybe if she’d known just how much it would end up costing her, she would have stuck it out with Kris.

Here’s the video of Kim and Kourtney talking to John Edward. Kim tries to cry at about :50 in.

Here’s the set up video of Kim arranging to speak with Edward. I just love the part at :55 in when she says in a completely flat affect and nasally tone “There’s a lot that I have been going through, like emotionally and mentally. That I really think I’ll find comfort in connecting with my dad again?” Then she disses her then-husband Kris to her friend because Kris hasn’t lost anyone close to him and can’t possibly understand what it’s like.
