So Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from husband, Kris Humphries on Halloween.  
That comes just 72 days after the couple was married in an extravagant,
televised, $10 million dollar wedding. Kardashian cited irreconcilable
differences on the papers, but many are realizing what they thought in the first
place, that this wedding was just a business proposition and another chapter
for the Kardashian reality show.  The ink on the divorce papers will be long dry
before the premiere of the new season of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," that
portray Kardashian and Humphries as newlyweds. In a statement to E! News, Kim
said, "This was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but
sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each
other the best."

The couple have a prenup and Kim is asking the court to deny spousal support to
Humphries.

Kim was not happy that the NBA star, currently not working because of the lockout,
has been reportedly partying up a storm with his wife's money.  Sources close to
the couple say that Kris did not "drink the Kardashian Kool-Aid" and that attitude
was a sticking point.

Days before Kardashian's 31st birthday, the newlyweds "had it out!" says a
family friend. "She told him he needs to do something productive. The work ethic
in that family really means something. He needs to get off his ass, like,
yesterday."

Kris Humphries says he loves his wife and was blindsided by the news of the
divorce and will do anything to keep her.  Kris said he is devastated and is
committed to the marriage.  

Two tweets that represent the scuttlebutt on twitter:

Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce. During this difficult time, the Kardashian
family requests as much attention as possible.

Kim Kardashian sold the rights to her wedding for $17.9 million. Her marriage
lasted 72 days. That comes to a nifty $10,358.80 per hour.

The album that Amy Winehouse was working on when she died of alcohol poisoning
will be released on December 5th. The album, "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" will
also include some previously unreleased studio tracks. Expect to hear alternate
takes of songs we already know, including mellower versions of "Tears Dry on
Their Own" and "Valerie," her duet with Tony Bennett and a smattering of covers,
including the Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow."

"It's true, I'm going to be a mummy!"  tweeted Jessica Simpson on Monday. Along
with the news she posted a photo of herself dressed up as a mummy for Halloween
and is seen cradling her baby bump. This is the first child for Simpson, who has
expressed her desire to have babies with fiance Eric Johnson. The two have been
engaged for nearly a year. The baby will be the second grandchild for Simpson's
parents Joe and Tina, who first became grandparents in Nov. 2008 when daughter
Ashlee Simpson and her ex-hubby Pete Wentz gave birth to son Bronx.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have invested with singer Chrissie Hynde and
producer Steve Bing in a new vegan eatery set to open in California's San
Fernando Valley. Vegan chef Tal Ronnen, who catered the couple's vegan wedding
in 2008, will design the menu for the restaurant located on Ventura Boulevard.
Vegans do not eat any animal or dairy products.  DeGeneres says she's a vegan
because she loves animals.
 
Semhar Tadesse, the professional wordsmith and the first person booted from this
season of "Survivor" was arrested Thursday on suspicion of DUI.  The 25 year old
allegedly ran a red light in Los Angeles and was pulled over...at which time
officers detected the smell of alcohol.  According to law enforcement sources,
Semhar blew a .14, nearly twice the legal limit in California, and was
arrested on the spot.

DR. CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL...

It was all out war on Monday as the prosecution grilled a defense witness at the
manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray.   An expert witness on propofol, put on
the stand by the defense was held in contempt of court and fined $1,000 after he
kept mentioning his private conversations with Dr. Murray.  It was the second
time the witness, Dr. Paul White,  has been charged with contempt. The first
time was October 21st, when the judge overheard the witness calling a member of
the prosecution team a profanity.

The sanction was ordered after an intense interchange between White and lead
prosecutor David Walgren. White conceded that it was unheard of for Murray to
administer propofol in a home setting, that Murray lacked sufficient monitoring
equipment for administering an anesthetic, that Murray failed to write notes
about his treatment of Jackson, and that Murray should have called 911 sooner.

Later in the morning, White testified that he had additional information to
share with the jury but the judge told him he couldn't, which the judge has
interpreted as a further violation.
