Filming of the blockbuster hit, “Titanic”: 160 days. OJ Simpson’s murder trial: 268 days. Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Brooklyn Nets player, Kris Humphries: 72 days.
“Things that last longer than Kim Kardashian’s marriage” is an ongoing running joke of the television star’s oh-so-holy matrimony among the internet world for the past year and a half. Facebook even has its own page dedicated to slamming the former Mrs. Humphries (though she never did agree to change her last name…foreshadowing?) Kardashian, whose marriage to Kris Humphries lasted a mere 72 days, has offered Humphries $10 million dollars in attempt to settle their divorce. However, Mr. Former Kardashian — we all knew who wore the pants in that relationship — has declined this “generous” offer, but instead has insisted that the marriage be annulled altogether because of fraud.
Perez Hilton got the inside scoop from a reliable source, who claims “Kris flatly rejected the offer because it has never been about money for him. He wants to be able to marry in a church again, with a clear conscience, when he finds someone special. Kris is deeply religious and he believes that the only way he can do that is if his marriage to Kim is annulled.”
Now if you ask me, there are some things that just can’t be undone…and marrying someone whose resume includes two sex tapes, a marriage at the age of 19 (annulment included), and insane wealth for doing absolutely nothing is definitely one of those things.
To be fair, I will give credit where credit is due — to the E! Network, who made an estimated $13 million for broadcasting the “fairytale” that was Kim and Kris’ wedding, according to insiders. The network, along with many tabloid companies, may be the only ones who benefited from this wedding, excluding Kim, who has reportedly kept $400,000-$500,000 worth of wedding gifts. (As if she really needs that 3-in-1 coffee and espresso machine). Again, here’s where Kim and her ex-hubby disagree. Kris is adamant about returning the extravagant gifts to those generous enough to give the happy couple them in the first place. It’s the thought that counts, right?
With a baby on the way — kudos to Mr. Kanye West — hopefully Kim can convince Kris to put this behind them and start fresh with another reality starlet.
I just hope Kim realizes there are no 72-day return policies on children…
