SHOCKER: Kim Kardashian Files for Divorce!
Say it ain't so! Kim Kardashian, beloved by all for her clothing line talent star quality rear end, has left America--nay, the world!--stunned this morning, as TMZ reveals America's most cherished annoying celebrity is filing for divorce today after 72 days of marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries.
We understand if you need to take a minute. It's rough. We're hurting together, guys.
Per the gossip site:
We're told even though the marriage was short, she will not seek an annulment. It's a garden variety divorce, in which Kim cites "irreconcilable differences." We're told the date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011.
Important info: Yes, there was a prenup.
