I told you this week’s tabloids featured push-back from Team Kat-Face! Life & Style’s cover story this week is all about how Kris Humphries is a horrible homophobe and a gay-basher, and now Us Weekly has released their cover story, and SURPRISE. Kris Humphries is also a fat-basher. As in, he would make fun of Kim’s weight and call her a “fat ass”. And “stupid”. And then she called him a “booger-face” and a “peckerwood”. And then Kris pulled her pigtails and pushed her and Kim cried and called for the teacher, because apparently we’re all still in the first grade.

Harsh Humphries! Kim Kardashian has been raked over the coals in the court of public opinion ever since she filed for divorce from Kris Humphries Oct. 31. But the real villain in the 72-day marriage, pals tell the new Us Weekly, was out-of-work NBA star Humphries, 26.

After lavishly tying the knot Aug. 20, Kardashian’s hubby soaked up the perks of being married to one of the most successful reality stars ever — staying out late at clubs in NYC and L.A., and demanding free bottle service and more wherever he went.

Even worse? He could be downright cruel to Kardashian, 31. “He belittled her in front of people,” one insider tells Us. “He’d call her stupid. It was truly sickening.”

The source adds that Humphries resented his wife’s fame and fortune. “He tried to control Kim by bring her down…He would say truly terrible things. One time, he said she had no talent and her fame wouldn’t last.”

He even took exception to her world-famous posterior, calling her “fat ass,” the source says.

And when Kardashian (who rarely drinks and tends to go to bed early) asked her man to skip the nights out in favor of quality time, “He would tell her she was acting like too much of a wife and ‘get over it,’” another insider says.

For much more on why Humphries was the husband from hell — he “picked fights” and bullied her closest friends, was caught “scoping out” other women at clubs and more — pick up the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday

Will I buy that Kris Humphries was emotionally abusive and rude? Sure. He was rude on their wedding special, and I thought he was particularly nasty and immature when it came to interacting with Kim’s sisters. I wonder which insult hurt Kim more, stupid or fat ass? When someone insults my (lack of) intelligence, I just kind of laugh it off. But if someone called me a fat ass, much less if it was my boyfriend or husband? I would cry. I would have a total meltdown. And that dude would never see my biscuits ever again. Because he would be a mean, rude booger-face. Oh, and personally, I don’t like the idea of saying Kim is in any way “fat” – she’s not. She’s just not a size 4 (as she claims).

By the way, just to reiterate the point: Kris is definitely going to be painted as “the villain” as Kourtney and Kim Take New York gets edited and re-edited. Sources have already said that producers are re-jiggering the show in post-production so that it will become increasingly obvious WHY Kim dumped Kris. Meanwhile, I think Gwyneth Paltrow is probably seeking Kris out so they can fat-bash together.

This week’s Life & Style Mag features some push-back from Team Kat-Face on the whole divorce scandal. I think the new pro-Kat-Face talking point is “Kim left Kris for good reasons, because he’s a big jerk!” It seems that Kris Humphries is a homophobic asshat and he’s super-worried about how Kourtney & Kim Take New York is going to portray his character. Oh, and Kris might be suing Kim and E!? Interesting…

Kim Kardashian is about to be dealt another blow. Insiders reveal exclusively to Life & Style—on newsstands now—that Kim’s estranged husband Kris Humphries has met with a legal team and is preparing to sue for $10 million.

“Kris has a legal team investigating his options,” the insider tells the new issue of Life & Style. “He’s claiming his role on Kourtney & Kim Take New York is bigger than he was told, and that’s why he wants more money. But Kris is also suing because he’s really worried about how badly he’s going to be portrayed on the series.”

Life & Style has learned that Kris is particularly concerned about explosive footage of him bullying Kim’s best friend Jonathan Cheban — scenes that stand to tarnish Kris’ wholesome Midwestern image.

“Midway through the season, Kris starts bullying Kim’s best friend, Jonathan Cheban, about his sexuality,” shares a Kim pal. “Jonathan isn’t gay, but Kris accuses him of being gay and criticizes him for it in a really homophobic way. Jonathan is really upset.”

As is Kim. “Kris used the word ‘gay’ as an insult, to try and hurt Jonathan,” an E! insider tells Life & Style. “He’s the lowest of the low bullying someone like this.”

While it’s too late for him to stop the premiere from airing, Kris has retained lawyer Lee Hutton III and is trying his hardest to prevent the most inflammatory moments from being broadcast. Kris, his family and his friends maintain that much of Kris’ appearance on Kourtney & Kim was scripted — including scenes in which he ponders Jonathan’s sexuality — and that he’s not homophobic.

“Little did Kris know that he was being set up,” his father, William Humphries, tells Life & Style exclusively. “Kris got used —100 percent used.”

[From Life & Style]

Thoughts on whether Kris was “used”? He was just hired for an ad campaign for Sector Watches – a reported $150,000 paycheck. And Kris and his publicist have been dropping “sightings” of Kris into nearly every publication, noting over and over that Kris is so, so SAD. Whatever – I think Kris is as big of a fraud as Kim, and I don’t really have any sympathy for either of them. And I also find it hard to believe that Kris was given a “script” in which he simply HAD to say homophobic things to Kim’s friend.

Oh, and Radar reports that Kim’s Christmas cards – which were ordered right before her honeymoon – feature a wedding photo of Kim and Kris. Guess she’s going to have to buy her Christmas cards from CVS this year.

This is a pretty juicy story that would have gotten more mileage prior to Kim Kardashian’s precipitous downfall. Remember how Kim sort-of dated her hot Australian bodyguard late last year? (You can see photos of their on-screen hookup here) They even were shown in bed together on “Kourtney & Kim Take New York.” Well apparently the guy was married, his wife had the impression that they were still together (although they were necessarily apart at the time due to their jobs), and then he hooked up with Kim and unceremoniously dumped her. They’re also still married, and she’s still waiting for the guy to give her a divorce. Here’s the story, via Hollywood Life. Star did get the other woman to speak on the record and they have photos and everything, so this isn’t a story based on unnamed “sources.”

Kim’s romance with her Australian body guard Shengo Deane played out on her show back in 2010, but now Shengo’s wife is speaking out against the reality star.
Kim Kardashian has found herself in the middle of another love story gone wrong. Zuzana Deane is accusing Kim of stealing her husband, Shengo Deane, Star magazine reports.

Kim was introduced to Shengo in April of 2010, while he was her bodyguard in Australia. He then appeared as Kim’s love interest in a September 2010 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and an October 2010 episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

“In my eyes, I was happily married to Shengo when he and Kim met,” Zuzana told Star. “Less than two weeks later, he told me he didn’t want to be married to me anymore, and then he ends up in her arms in Los Angeles. It was a whirlwind. I don’t know what Shengo initially told her about his situation — he’s handsome and charming, and I can see where Kim would be smitten. But it was all a shock to me.”

But Zuzana and Shengo are still technically married. “Incredibly, Shengo still hasn’t given me a divorce, and that’s all I want from him, nothing more,” Zuzana said. “As for Kim, I actually don’t have too many hard feelings. I think she was a bit too trusting and impulsive — and Shengo saw her as the golden ticket to fame.”

I would say that if this guy wasn’t legally unavailable Kim would have married him, thrown a fairy tale wedding, and ditched him later. He he was too low status for her though. He was worth a fling and that’s it.

Radar is reporting that Kim is being portrayed as the “victim” to baddie Kris Humphries on the upcoming season of “Kourney & Kim Take New York.” Of course Kim has “editorial control” and is going to manipulate the footage to make it seem like Kris treated her poorly and not the other way around. Even if this is true and the guy was a total ass, she chose to marry him and that’s on her.

The E! reality darling will be seen “as the victim, and Kris will definitely be the bad guy. Kim was stunned by the amount of bad press and the public relations nightmare she has endured since deciding to file for divorce,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Kim will be using the show to attempt to rehab her image. Kim has been telling her inner circle that she has worked very hard to get where she has, and she isn’t going to let her marriage and subsequent decision to divorce Kris Humprhies ruin that.

“Kim carefully and methodically plans all of her business decisions, and that is how she is looking at her divorce, as all business. Of course she is sad, but it’s all about Kim’s endorsement deals and paid promotional appearances. There were reports that Kim was going to lay low after she filed for divorce, yet several days later, she was in Atlanta shooting a role in the movie, The Marriage Counselor.

“Kim will be ringing in New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. The fact is Kim is extremely insecure, and she is truly afraid that if she were to disappear from the public eye, for even more than a week, her fame would disappear,” the source says.

[From Radar]

Kim is right, her fame is about to disappear. She should count on it.

Meanwhile Kim is still co-starring in that Tyler Perry movie, The Marriage Counselor, as an assistant to a matchmaker. Perry defended his decision to cast Kim, writing that “I thought and still do think that it would be very responsible of her to be a part of this film. To have the young people that look up to her, see her in a film that is about what happens in life when you make the wrong choices.” Perry doesn’t seem to get that Kim has much less “young people” looking up to her at this point.

In related news, PETA is slamming Kim for wearing fox fur. They may as well do it now when she’s still somewhat relevant.

Among all the latest Kardashian stories there’s been one major theme, and that is that the general public, not just the heavy gossip consumers like us, are sick of these bitches, particularly Kim, and are ready to see them go away permanently. We’ve all been saying this for some time, but it took a while for the tide to turn and it really has. Last night’s Entertainment Tonight asked if the Kardashian empire was crumbling, and it definitely seems to be. There are several petitions to take their shows off their air, the most active of which has over 100,000 signatures and an accompanying website, BoycottKim.com. The website is an amusing parody and brief commentary on the Karadashians, although the brands to boycott section is incomplete. That’s probably because it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the crap these people have slapped their name on.

Well advertisers are worried and wary of the Kardashians, according to ET, as is E!’s parent company, Comcast. ET claimed last night that they had a source that confirmed that “Comcast is concerned about the Kardashian franchise.” A journalist for Hollywood Reporter, Leslie Bruce, really summed things up during ET’s segment. She said “The Kardashian brand relies solely on it’s authenticity, and viewers really believing that they have a window into their life. Without that really what do the Kardashians have?”

What’s more is that the Kardashian sisters have a new book out called Dollhouse. It’s very thinly veiled fiction about their lives, with three sisters called Kamille, Kassidy, and Kyle who live in L.A. with their controlling mom and her new husband, a former professional baseball player. Their rich dad died a few years prior and now they’re hustling to keep up their luxurious lifestyle. The existence of this book just brings home how fake this family is and how much krap they’re trying to sell us without possessing any talent or a intelligence.

If you do a google news search on Kardashian, all the top results are about the petition to take them off their air. There’s also news that Kim ditched her best friend, Brittny Gastineau, shortly after she got married. Brittny’s mom told Radar that Brittny was concerned about Kim jumping into her marriage with Kris Humphries too fast. After Kim got married, she shut Brittny out. She also seems to have shut her husband out, and to have simultaneously slammed the door on all the easy money she was making. Narcissists aren’t very good at maintaining relationships after all.

Here are Kourtney and Khloe promoting their new book in New Jersey yesterday. Look at how orange Kourtney’s face is! And her pantsuit is ridiculous. Kim was a no show.

I feel so bad for the editors of Marie Claire. They got Kim Kardashian for their December cover, and the interview was apparently conducted a few weeks before Kim filed for divorce. So there are lots of quotes from Kim about how happy she is with Kris Humphries and how well she knows herself and all of that, but there was still enough time in editorial for the writer to include that “In late October, it was announced that Kim would file for divorce, just 72 days after she and Kris tied the knot.” If I was the editor over there, I might be tempted to simply redo the issue with another (emergency) cover girl. I suspect that Kim made an enemy out of Marie Claire for the way she screwed them over for this cover story. Anyway, here is the full story and here are some of the highlights. In retrospect, it’s fun to laugh at how Kim was so full of herself.

When asked about how much her wedding cost… Kim smiles demurely, “I don’t talk about money.”

Why Kim made her wedding a circus: “I felt like if I didn’t show the wedding, it would be upsetting for people who have taken this journey with me.”

Why Kim married Kris so quickly: “We felt like, ‘Why wait?’” she explains. “It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you. Sometimes my life can be really intimidating for people, but he allows me to work and do what I’ve gotta do.”

On Kris Humphries: “I’m not worried about him at all. We have a lot of trust, and I don’t think either of us would do anything to break that. It makes life so easy. He’s such a good guy; he is so down-to-earth, and it’s such a reality check. He is a normal guy, and I just want to chill out and be normal and not get glammed up all the time. He gets it.

On her first marriage to Damon Thomas: “I was 19, and I didn’t know myself,” she says. “As unhappy as I was, and as happy as I am now not to be in that relationship, I learned so much from it: who I wanted to be, who I never wanted to be — you take all those issues and move on.” She smiles brightly. “I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things. It definitely taught me what being a wife is all about. I think it means taking care of each other’s needs and being there for someone unconditionally.”

On the family’s reality shows: “We made a pact as a family and said we would be truly authentic because people don’t buy bulls–t. We’ll just be who we are, and – love it or hate it – we have each other. I think that’s what makes it so relatable, because we are not afraid to show crazy things.”

[From Marie Claire]

She’s such a dumbass. I guess it’s one of those situations where “Stars: They’re Just Like Us!” I know people who are all patronizing and full of themselves once they get married, and they make pronouncements about how this is the happiest they’ve ever been and they recommend marriage to everyone, and WHY AREN’T YOU MARRIED TOO WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? And those are the people who always end up with the crappy marriages that end in divorce. Kim is one of those people.

I know, don’t even start. This is a Kardashian story, but it just cracked me up. Probably because the story involves another famous cat-face, that of Nicole Kidman. According to Life & Style, Kim Kardashian was so jazzed about getting a supporting role in Tyler Perry’s new film (The Marriage Counselor) that she hired Nicole Kidman’s acting coach to help “prep” her. Talk about getting blood out of stone. Quick question: whose forehead is more immobilized, Nicole’s or Kim’s? That’s a tough one, isn’t it? I want to say Nicole, but I worry that Kim is actually more tweaked. Anyway…

Kim Kardashian’s personal life may be in shambles, but she’s making sure her acting career isn’t!

Life & Style has exclusively learned that Kim hired Nicole Kidman’s acting coach, Susan Batson, to help her with scenes for Tyler Perry’s movie The Marriage Counselor, which she filmed in Atlanta last week.

“Susan was brought in to help Kim with her last scenes in the film,” an insider tells Life & Style. “She was coaching her on how to handle the more difficult scenes she’s shooting.”

Life & Style reports in the new issue, on newsstands now, that Kim has struggled with backlash from angered fans since filing for divorce from Kris Humphries; some even campaigned to have her kicked off the film.

“Kim had been confident about the movie, but with recent events she has been worried that the stress of her real life would show through,” the insider tells Life & Style. “So that’s what Susan was there for.”

Batson is famous for her A-list clientele, which, aside from Nicole, includes Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lopez, Liv Tyler and Jennifer Connelly.

The Marriage Counselor is about a relationship expert named Judith who cheats on her husband. Kim is set to play the role of Ava, the co-worker of Judith who gives her a makeover. The movie is currently in production and also stars Brandy Norwood and Jerry Stiller.

[From Life & Style]

I won’t mock Kim for getting an acting coach, even though it kind of seems like it wasn’t her idea (cue Tyler Pery saying, “Girl, lemme hire somebody.”). It’s smart for non-professional actors to get a little help, I think. I’ve seen clips from Kim’s sex tape and from her terrible music video, and the bitch can’t act for s–t.

By the way, Kim has made her triumphant return to her Celebuzz blog. In a post called, “Thanks To My Loyal Blog Dolls!” Kim wrote, “Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank you guys for all your support these last two weeks. I took a break from blogging for a while, but I’ve missed you guys so much and I want to start sharing my updates with you all again. I’ve been reading all your comments on here and, as always, my loyal blog dolls have been nothing but supportive. You all know who you are, so thank you! I love you guys. Kim xo.” Sigh… whatever. She sounds so “sad”. No, the opposite of that.

A former publicist who worked for Kim Kardashian from 2007-2009, Jonathan Jaxson, did a radio interview in which he claimed that Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring “from” Kris Humphries was “very similar” to a ring that she used in 2007 to stage a fake engagement with Reggie Bush. This is supported by paparazzi photos taken at the time, which show Kim wearing a ring that looks identical to her engagement ring with Kris. Jaxson also said that Reggie was not aware that Kim set him up for fake engagement rumors, and that “these type of antics” ended their relationship. He also said that Kim had a whole plan to get famous, that she wasn’t fazed by her sex tape at all and that it wasn’t released without her permission. (He has no insider information about that, other than the fact that she was barely upset when it came out.) In response, Kim is predictably suing Jaxson for defamation for $200,000. Her lawyer, Marty Singer, claims that Kim barely worked with Jaxons, that Jaxson is lying and that he signed a confidentiality agreement that prevents him from talking to the media. In response, Jaxson says he was given a confidentiality agreement by the Kardashians but that he never signed it. He also published video, photos, email and documentation showing he had a close relationship with Kim.

TMZ had contacted me last night regarding a story that I was being sued by Kim Kardashian for $200,000 and requested an immediate comment. Only because they wish to share a VERY small snippet, I want to provide the full statement I gave them. Why would I have thought they would have been fair to post my side?:

To the best of my knowledge, I have never signed an agreement dealing with confidentiality with Kim Kardashian. I have an agreement in my possession that does not have either parties signature on it.

When I have been contacted by the press to give comments on the wedding, my opinions have been from my personal point of view based on the statement she posted on her blog and conversations with mutual friends.

Regarding her engagement ring from Kris, I have stated that is was quite similar to the same ring I staged with her for a story we released to the press back on December 26, 2007. It was a planned shoot as she exited XIV Jewelers in Beverly Hills with the 7-carats on her right hand for media speculation that she was engaged, as she exited the jeweler.

I have not worked with Kim in a professional capacity in a couple of years and have absolutely no ill feelings towards her what so ever. The work we did together, I did as an acting publicist/friend on the side “behind-the-scenes” for her from 2007-2009. The pictures online, along with a video blog, and audio together speak for themselves.

The book I am publishing, “Don’t You Know Who I Am Yet,” chronicles one’s 15-minutes of fame and is a behind-the-scenes look from a publicists world in Hollywood and my dealings with several of the clients in which I have worked with and those I have met along the way. Kim was and always has been only a very small part of that equation.

I still have not been served with any papers regarding this matter.

[From Jonathan Jaxson's website]

It seems like just about everyone is over this chick and calling for her fifteen minutes to be up. Michael Bublé ripped on Kim during a recent performance in NY. He said “Please welcome Kim Kardashian [to the stage],” then joked “Nah, just [bleeping] with you! That bitch isn’t coming on my stage.” The NY Post has this story, along with the detail that he then dedicated a song to Kris Humphries.

Meanwhile there’s a new book by a former NY Daily News writer called Celebrity, Inc.: How Famous People Make Money. It examines how Kim Kardashian was able to best her former bestie, Paris Hilton, in earnings. Now, however, author Jo Piazza says that “everyone thinks [Kim is] a joke” and that her “shelf life” is almost over. Unfortunately, there are more Kardashians available. Kim’s little sister Kendall may soon take her place according to Piazza. Kendall just got a $90,000 Range Rover for her 16th birthday. She’s got to be fully indoctrinated into the khurch of Kardashian, where money rules and appearances matter above all else. She’ll soon be getting lip injections and Botox, if she hasn’t already.

Here’s Kim flying out of Atlanta and into LA after filming for a Tyler Perry movie. There’s a petition to eliminate Kim from this movie, just as there’s a petition for E! to cancel all the Kardashian shows.

Of all the stories about Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ impending divorce and fake show wedding, this one is probably my favorite. It’s just hysterical, and I really hope it’s true. Supposedly Kris Humphries has some kind of “evidence” that Kim Kardashian uses padded panties to make her ass look big, and is threatening to expose her butt as a fraud. I’ve never really thought about padded underwear, as it wouldn’t occur to me to try and give myself a bubble butt. There are real products with silicone padding that do just that. (You learn all sorts of useless things while gossiping about celebrities.) Anyway Kris hasn’t exposed much dirt on Kim so far, probably because he’s still hoping for a decent cut of the wedding profits, but what could he say that we don’t already know about her? We already know that she’s narcissistic, superficial, useless and petty. Real evidence that she’s lying about that trademark ass that she keeps insisting is all natural would go far to discredit her, not that she’s got much credibility left at this point. Here’s more:

Kim Kardashian’s big booty is a big, fat fake, sources say – and her estranged hubby Kris Humphries is threatening to expose the truth.

The reality TV sexpot insists her bubble butt is all natural and even displayed an x-ray of what she claimed was her backside on her show to use as proof.

But some insiders claim the curvy 31-year-old beauty uses butt pads and say Kris filmed a video that proves his estranged wife’s prized posterior is phony!

Kris remarked to pals that, while he loves Kim’s shapely butt, it’s not the same as what you see on the red carpet or TV.

“Kris told his buddies that it takes a lot of work for Kim to make her bottom look as good as it does,” says a source. “He revealed all her secrets – how she uses ‘booty pads,’ Spanx and other things to enhance it. When she takes off the Spanx, the pads and everything else, it’s not the same.

“He knows what the real thing looks like – because he’s reported it on his cell phone camera!…

“Despite what Kim said on her show, I think she has definitely had fat injections in her butt,” the source said.

“Kim would never call it a Brazilian butt-lift, but that’s essentially what it was…”

Even before they split, Kris taunted [Kim] about her weight, sources say. At 5-foot-3, Kim claims to weigh 115 pounds, but Kris told pals that she’s closer to 130.

“Kris would pat Kim’s bottom and say, ‘You sure have a lot of junk in your trunk,’” divulged a close source.

“The Kris actually began calling Kim fat! He said the undersides of her arms were flabby and she was getting a pooch in her belly. Kim was furious!”

The first source added: “Kim is all about creating illusion. Having Kris spill the beans about how she really maintains her world-famous butt would be devastating to her.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 21, 2011]

Even if Kim Kardashian isn’t using those butt enhancers, (although she probably is) I do think she had a Brazilian Butt lift. (Link potentially NSFW.) The procedure involves fat transfer to the butt and wouldn’t be detectable on an x-ray like the one she did of her ass for publicity. (Like everything she does.) Oh I hope Kris is in possession of video revealing that Kim pads her ass, I really do.

A couple of days ago Kaiser reported on the story that Kris H. was refusing to sign the divorce papers and was pressuring Kim to return the actual wedding gifts, not just make a tax-deductible donation to a charity in lieu of returning gifts. That report was from Life & Style, which had Kris’ dad on the record talking about how his son was blind-sided by the divorce filing. An unnamed “source” told L&S that Kris was refusing to sign the divorce papers, and it sounded like that came from Kris’ dad too, but that he didn’t want to be blamed for leaking that news.

Well Kardashian mouthpiece E! denied that report and claimed that a source told them “It is not true that Kris is not going to sign the divorce papers…. He doesn’t want a war. He’s laying low.” You know that Kim just assumes she’s going to get her way, as usual. I hope that Kris really does hold out and that he contests the divorce and puts her through the wringer.

Meanwhile In Touch is reporting that The Kardashians are at war among themselves over this divorce, which is surely threatening their easy money stream. Supposedly Khloe and Kim got into a big blowup while they were doing publicity in Australia. In Touch claims that “The family has split into two camps since the divorce – Kim and her mom versus the rest of the family, who are really angry at her.” Evil Beet has more on this if you’re interested, but you get the point. The Kardashian’s big fake house of cards is collapsing all around them and they’re screaming and clawing while trying to hold onto what they believe is rightfully theirs. Only it’s all an illusion, down to Kim’s giant trademark ass.

Time for today’s stories in the ongoing Kardashian-Humphries Saga For The Ages. In today’s episode, Kris Humphries’s dad William gives an exclusive interview to Life & Style, for the cover story in which Kim Kardashian is apparently being called out for her disastrous plan to profit from a tacky wedding and then divorce the man that she barely even liked. Still, Kris seems slightly sympathetic here.

In an exclusive interview with Life & Style, Kris Humphries’ dad, William Humphries, opens up his about his son’s reaction to Kim Kardashian’s filing for divorce and reveals how Kris is now coping with the split.

“There was never a discussion about it — it just came out of nowhere and blindsided Kris,” William claims in the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now. “How could someone do that? Kris was completely surprised. The news was already published before he found out!”

While a rep for Kim insists Kris did know the divorce was coming, friends and family say Kris, now back in his hometown of Chanhassen, Minn,. is still heartbroken.

“He’s hurting, but we’re here for him,” William reveals to Life & Style. “It’s nice that he’s here [in Minnesota] with family during this time.”

Kris was so hurt by the news that he refused to even speak to his wife — until she surprised him by flying to Minnesota on Nov. 6 to hash out the details of the divorce.

“Kris told me that Kim was texting him a lot, but he wouldn’t respond,” his friend tells Life & Style. “They did speak briefly the day the split was announced — but only because Kim was apparently pissed that Kris had released his own statement.”

“It’s not a nice situation. No matter how you look at it, he’s going through a divorce,” William adds.

Not only is Kris refusing to sign the divorce papers drawn up by Kim’s high-powered attorney Laura Wasser, but Kris is fighting with Kim over the wedding gifts.

“Kris is disgusted that Kim is making a donation to the Dream Foundation,” a friend of Kris’ says. “The gifts cost people a lot of money. They should be able to get their money back.”

[From Life & Style & Hollywood Life]

According to Hollywood Life, Kim‘s reason for visiting Minnesota was not in any way about a reconciliation either. Their source says, “Kim visited Kris so that he wouldn’t talk to the press. She was making sure that he wouldn’t do ‘anything stupid’ and ‘law low’ and not talk to any media outlets about their relationship. She seems more about controlling how her brand is affected than reconciling the relationship.” Apparently, they weren’t even left alone for one moment during the trip either.

Meanwhile, OK! Magazine is still trying to make Reggie and Kim happen all over again. I don’t think Reggie is interested at the moment (he issued a statement saying that he had no plans to see her), but you never know… I actually think they might have a chance at reconciling – even more so than Kim and Kris.

They never lost touch, not even in the exciting first days of her engagement to Kris Humphries. But now that her marriage is all but over, Kim Kardashian has turned to her ex-boyfriend NFL star Reggie Bush for comfort. The pair, who dated on and off for three years before splitting in March 2010, talked for three hours after Kim announced her plans to divorce.

“Immediately following the divorce announcement, Reggie reached out to Kim to let her know that he was always there for her if she needed someone to talk to,” says a Kim confidante. “Kim still loves Reggie deeply. She never got over that; she doesn’t think she ever will. She says he is her one true love.”

REGGIE IS KIM’S ROCK
Since Kim, 31, filed for divorce on Oct. 31, she and Reggie, 26, who’s currently in Miami where he plays for the Dolphins, have communicated via text message, phone and computer — culminating in a long, heartfelt conversation via Skype in the days before she met with Kris on Nov. 6.

“Reggie and Kim made a date to talk uninterrupted,” a friend of the football player confides. “Kim just feels really lost right now, and she isn’t sure who to trust or who she should turn to. Reggie is one of the few people who make her feel safe.”

Kim confided to Reggie how disappointed she was in her marriage to Kris, which lasted just 72 days, and how she came to realize that she jumped into the union too quickly.

“Reggie was just so patient listening to it all. He let Kim just pour her heart out to him for the first hour.”

“Reggie has a calming effect on Kim,” says the Kim confidant. “He really has such a positive outlook, and he made Kim remember that she is blessed.”

THERE’S STILL LOVE THERE
Over their three-hour conversation, Kim didn’t just complain about her marriage. She and Reggie also talked about their relationship. “It was a heartfelt talk: They laughed; they flirted; Kim cried,” says the confidante. “It began to seem like old times.”

Though there were reports that Kim and Reggie had already met up for lunch in NYC on Oct. 29, a Kim insider says their in-person reunion hasn’t happened yet — but it will.

“Before they said goodbye on Skype, they made plans to see each other in person soon,” says the insider.

Reggie has been dating Melissa Molinaro, a 29-year-old model (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Kim) since the summer, but that doesn’t mean he ever stopped thinking about Kim.

“Reggie loves Kim; I’m not sure if he’s still in love with her, but he still loves her without question,” his friend explains. “He never felt about any woman the way he did about Kim. I haven’t heard him utter one nasty or negative thing since the split happened.”

Reggie is also one of the few people in Kim’s life who hasn’t passed judgment on her failed marriage or made harsh jokes about the spectacle she made of her August wedding.

“Whenever you mentioned it, Reggie just would say he wished Kim the best and all the happiness in the world,” says his pal. “He’s a real class act. He loved that girl with his whole heart. Probably still does.”

By the time Kim got off the phone with Reggie and began to pack for her trip to see Kris in Minneapolis, she was feeling better and more confident.

“She felt like she lost a little bit of herself when she was with Kris,” explains her friend, adding that talking with Reggie helped her get back on track.

“Kim is finally taking responsibility for her actions,” says another pal. “It’s been a growing experience. She is happy that she’s got her family behind her and Reggie. If this ends up bringing Reggie back into her life in a bigger way, then that’s one positive thing that came out of this whole experience.”

So, basically, according to this story the whole Kris Humphries thing was just an epic plot to win Reggie back. Sort of. And it sort of worked. I’m telling you – even though Reggie probably doesn’t want to be seen this way, I think he probably would give Kim another chance. He’s dating a girl who looks just like her, for the love of God.

As CB talked about yesterday, Kim Kardashian flew to Minnesota this weekend where she met with Kris Humphries, her estranged husband. TMZ had a report about Kim feeling “conflicted” and that she and Kris might end up seeking “counseling” to work through their problems. They spent two hours with Pastor Joel Johnson, the man who officiated their wedding, at Kris’s parents lakefront Minnesota home. Radar says, “Pastor Johnson declined to answer reporters questions about how the couple is doing.” Shortley after that quick trip, Kim flew back into LA, trying to look super-sad. So, what was this trip all about? Does Kim really want to try to reconcile with Kris Humphries? Or was this just a strategic PR move to help soften her now ridiculous image? Well, according to Media Takeout, this was Kim’s way of working out some business with E!. According to Meda Takeout’s sources, E! is ready to pull the plug on this Kardashian nonsense:

When MediaTakeOut.com heard that Kim Kardashian was LEAVING her paid appearances in Australia to fly back to the United States to reconcile with Kris Humphries – we thought, SOMETHING IS FISHY!!

Well now, we’re starting to get a clearer picture. According to an insider over at E! Networks – the channel is considering DROPPING Kim Kardashain’s new show, Kim and Kourtney take Manhattan. In addition, the channel was planning to STOP airing Kim Kardashian’s wedding special.

The loss of the two shows would mean MILLIONS in losses for Kim. She currently is paid more than $2M a season for the reality show and she gets 30% of the ad revenue every time her wedding special airs. And equally as important to Kim, it would keep her OFF the TV screens.

Now you already KNOW that Kim and her mama ain’t about to let that happen.

Expect Kim and that Humphries IDIOT to RECONCILE this week, and break up OFFICIALLY, once Kim’s show airs it’s final episode in December.

But remember, people! Kim didn’t make any money off of that wedding! That’s what her mother claimed, and I believe she’s still claiming. Here’s my take on this entire situation: I think Kim should stick with the divorce. She’s already getting slammed for it, so she just stick with her gut and go through with it. This wishy-washy, “Maybe we’ll reconcile” stuff just makes her look worse, in my opinion. As for the business side of things – I do think the Kardashian-Jenner Klan deserves these lumps they’re getting, and it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that their businesses have taken a hit from this famewhore extravaganza. But! They’re still making money, for themselves and for other people (E! and Ryan Seacrest). It will only be when advertisers start pulling out and viewership goes down that E! will cancel their multiple shows. So that means that if you want to see an end to Kardashian-kontrolled everything, begin to actively ignore them.
