Kim Kardashian Weeks Before Split: I'm Not Worried About Kris at All!
If at first you don't succeed, try again. But make sure to have a prenup!
When Kim Kardashian first said "I do" to music producer Damon Thomas in 2000, she was only 19 years old. More than a decade later at her lavish nuptials to Kris Humphries this August, the 31-year-old thought she was truly ready for marriage a second time around.

In an interview with Marie Claire conducted shortly before her quickie divorce, she explained why she and Humphries, 26, tied the knot just 10 months after meeting. "We felt like, 'Why wait?'" she said. "It's fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you."

She admitted that as a teenage bride married to Thomas she "didn't know myself" but "learned so much from [that relationship]: who I wanted to be, who I never wanted to be."
"I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things," she added. "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."

But Kardashian explained to the magazine why, despite her sisters' objections to Humphries, she defended the NBA hunk from the get-go. "I'm not worried about him at all," she said. "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."

When Kardashian filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage on Oct. 31, Humphries claimed he was blindsided. But his future ex-wife explained herself in a blog post: "I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and I couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people." (The wedding was filmed for a two-part special on E!, Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event.)

But even before she walked down the aisle, she told Marie Claire she felt an obligation to let fans in on her experience. "I felt like if I didn't show the wedding, it would be upsetting for people who have taken this journey with me," she said.

She told the magazine she was well aware the public interest in her life wouldn't last forever. "It will all die down eventually," she said. "We get that. We've had so much fun, and hopefully the decisions we're making now will set us up so we have successful companies that are prospering long beyond the reality show."

Train WRECK
so over her...take off the wedding ring please...im sick of hearing about them...next
No room for humphries of corse ...she is too much for another human being
Don't buy her mags or products..,in this pic she still her wedding ring..no shame
I think the whole family needs therapy!
I'm sick of hearing about these people.
Kinda makes it ironic that she wouldn't take Kris Humphries last name for "business" reasons on the show? doesn't it? Hopefully no one will ever want to marry her & she'll live the life of an old botoxed spinster. The $ will only roll in for so long.....
She looks much better without all that Krap on her face... that I will say.
I agree Kim Greene. Total big ass self absorbed pig.She thinks her crap smells like a flower but I am sure it smells like urine as that is her only claim to fame. She is famous for being on her knees and is a tramp. I am happily married and cant imagine how bad she made Kris feel. Self absorbed porn star fat jello butt pig.
Laquia, I am obsessed with society retaining a certain level of respectability and the Kardashians from the pimp mother on down to the 16-year old driving a $90,000 car given to her by a car dealership in a deal orchestrated by the pimp mom...all of them add nothing to our lives. But people wish they could be rich and they think by osmosis that somehow this kind of rich can strike them..you know, getting rich by virtually doing nothing..wait, Kim Kardashian's career. But most important - gays are not allowed to marry in this state but bimbos like this blight of humanity can sign a prenup knowing full well she's bailing on the marriage and take vows validated by the state of California knowing full well the union is a crock. In other words, she mocks marriage and wants our respect? Sorry - there are millions of people in this country who are in real relationships who don't have to get married to get attention. Heck some of them cant even get married because this government considers it illegal. So sorry - Kim Kardashian and her two failed marriages and her overpriced crap at Sears and her crap diet pills and her crooked scheme to gouge teens with the cash card..she needs to find new marks...go to Europe Kardashians and grift there for awhile. Oh and I didn't even mention the sainted Father who helped OJ Simpson go free after he murdered his wife and her friend. Yeah Bob Kardashian was a real saint.
I think Terra makes such great points. Whether you love her or hate her most people feel Passionately about her. It's so funny. You see her and she evokes some sort of emotion. People are obsessed with the Kardashians in SOME way. Complete COMEDY!

She's the most beautiful porn star I've seen
Well. Some people hate her and some love her. And either way both sides ate giving her publicity, whether it'd good or bad. Never really seen her show (shows?), but I don't see why people are so passionate about this woman (hatred is still passion). I never knew who she was, but now I'm kinda curious. What about her creates such a spark in people?
Don't you know this was all for money and it back-fired. If I see one more photo of her or her family I will first throw-up and then never buy a magazine if she is even mentioned in it. Who knows? They just might get back together. That will boost ratings and their pocketbook. Another reality show "Kim and Kris take Minnesota". Gag me.
Good lord she is an idiot.
@Eileen Austin Count your dollars now Kim, because lot's of us won't be tuning in to anything Kardashian anymore. You just tuned in.
