Kim Kardashian’s fiancee Kris Humphries is described by his own publicist as an “NBA star and philanthropist.” Our gossip colleague CJ at the Star Tribune assumed that indicated that their wedding might become a fund-raising charity event. Since the nuptials will be paid for along with a handsome profit, one might have hoped the well-to-do bride and groom would invite guests to donate to a chosen charity instead of wasting money on gaudy wedding gifts they don’t need. But according to CJ, “The lovebirds have already shown us who they are by needing a 20.5 carat diamond ring to convey their love.” Hence, the registration at Geary’s in Beverly Hills for $172,000 worth of “newlywed necessities” like $6000 vases or a $375.00 candy jar. (Sounds like Kris Jenner’s work to us.) In summation, Kris and Kim COULD have shown themselves in a flattering light and helped tornado victims or whatever – but they chose to stock up on Lalique ashtrays instead.

By all indications, Kris Humphries is in the early stages of puppy love. Kris Jenner and Kim K. are going to keep him on a very short leash until at least after the wedding. The prenup indicates that Kim K.’s earned income will be hers and Kris H.’s income will be theirs. This guy should stop wearing sunshades and start keeping his eyes open and his ears clear to what this family is planning for him.
Does the Name Bruce Jenner come to mind? Is it so unbelievable that other than the children that Bruce has with Kris Jenner, they are Never shown or even (ever) talked about?? I am all for love and happiness, and if this is the real thing for both of these two lovebirds, I wish them both the best, but somehow my radar spells out that Kim K. will Not be Mrs. Humphries, but Kris Humphries will be Mr. Kardashian. And, I am just saying!!
Well when you put it that way Janet, it does make them seem like greedy pigs!!
Maybe, just maybe, KK & KH are requesting these gifts and then planning to return them to give the money to charity?? For their sake I hope this is true, or I feel KK’s celebrity status will take nose dive, BIG time! Anybody remember what happened to Star Jones? Learn from Star’s greed Kim.
They would not waste time requesting gifts to return them. If they wanted to do good or just make themselves shown in a better light, they would have requested money for charity. I guess with all the expensive gifts they will at least have something to sell on ebay when they are done and forgotten which is hopefully sooner rather than later.
Janet, I totally agree w/ you. For those who like to badmouth Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, yes, they make zillions, but, they DO give a lot of their time, and $$$, to various charities. Same w/ Oprah. I especially love the fact that Brad/Angelina financed the rebuilding of 50 houses in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans that were hit hardest by Katrina. Insurance companies refused to give the homeowners flood insurance. Roseanne Barr used to say that there’s nothing worse than rich white trash. Hope the Kardashian girls are listening.
Oh, and Kim K. might want to copy Sherry Shepherd of “The View.” She and her fiance — they are getting married in August — say they don’t anything in the way of gifts, but have, instead, chosen two charities that wedding guests can donate to. Now, that’s class.
Hilary, I think that’s the best and ONLY way to do it where rich newlyweds are concerned. I DO remember Star Jones and her piggy ways during her wedding preps. I don’t think she or her “career” on TV ever recovered. Nobody likes her now, but that’s mostly her personality too.
Back to these two: I think MAYBE the ring was a competition with her sister for who can have the biggest one. NOBODY needs a ring that big, and she’ll most likely not even wear it in public that often due to the risks it will pose to her.
As for their stupid “List” of wants they need to rush right now and delete that list immediately. Again, I think she is trying to at least keep up with her sister’s wedding, but the public didn’t HEAR about whatever Khloe & Lamar got, did they?
PS: after looking at that picture above for a second time, the visual of these two getting it on just popped into my head and it was a freightening sight.
Also, just wanted to mention I saw a picture online somewhere of Kim without the huge booty, so it looks like it MUST be an ass implant of some sort as has been gossiped about for years now, with her always denying it. Check it out for yourselves. That think just ain’t natural!
What a tacky,self centered famewhores they are.
pst: these sort of americans don’t have to work for their money.
……….IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!
Reta, I rarely watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, but I did see the episode where Khloe was picking out china and crystal for her wedding registry. Actually she didn’t pick it out, her mother did. Khloe expressed concern about the price, and her mother told her she shouldn’t care because they would be gifts. Khloe said her friends couldn’t afford such gifts. I don’t know whether it was scripted or not, but that episode made me actually like Khloe.
This sister disgusts me. I have absolutely no doubt that this marriage is just another publicity stunt.
Instead of this phony lard ass spending time in expensive shops for crap she don’t need and don’t know how to use, she should spend time with the poor, see how they barely make to the next day. Yah, now that’s reality. This entire family needs to go away.
White trash is correct. Give the gift money to charity you pigs.
There is Paris and Nicky Hilton,and then there is the family of Francesca Hilton.
Francesca Hilton is the daughter of hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and only child of famed actress/socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Back in the day,The Gabor Sisters, Magda, Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor are the equivalent of The Kardashians sisters of today.
Jolie Gabor, mother of the Gabor Sisters is the equivalent of Kris Jenner. Jolie was in the jewelry business and taught her 3 daughters how to be high maintenance. Magda was the older and less known of the sisters. The late Eva Gabor became famous Not only for being in the wig business,but as the lovable,well dressed/bejeweled Lisa Douglas from the 1960’s sitcom Green Acres. There is the (police slap happy) Zsa Zsa Gabor who very much like Kim K. was a tell-all queen who paraded her lovers and just as many husbands for publicity purposes. Other than her daughter Francesca, Zsa Zsa is the only surviving Gabor. In recent years, she has been very challenged by health issues, but her husband who thinks that he is a prince, keep Zsa Zsa in the News by constantly giving interviews (on her behalf) and showing pictures of Zsa Zsa ‘s home and selling photos of Zsa Zsa even while in the hospital.I mention this long drawn out story because long before there was a family of high maintenance, publicity seeking Kadashians,there were the always in the News, Gabors.
P.S.
Our own screen queen Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s first husband Nicky Hilton was the son of Conrad. Incidentally,Conrad had another son Named Barron. In his book The Art of the Deal,Donald Trump talked a lot about Barron Hilton and their competitions for business deals,and how much he liked that Name Barron which really fitted him as a Hilton. The fact that he gave the Name Barron to his youngest son was No great surprise. PEACE!!
@Leo, had one of the Gabor sisters made a sex tape, we would never have heard from them again. Today, a sex tape appears to be the route to “stardom”. Or at least your 15 minutes, which this person has stretched out interminably.
Yep and a sex tape w/a BLACK on white would have guaranteed their demise instead of fame. Anyone who is able to make this much money for be screwed by a string of BLACK men is laughing in the face of people who pay money for the junk she sells.
Her husband to be must really have had nothing in the past to think this is a catch.
He seems like an idiot. Kim finally got herself a puppet. She’s so self entitled to think she needs to register for a bridal registry. She should be embarrassed for asking for outlandish gifts. I hope some of her guest turn around and donate to a charity in there name and present the certificate to them.
I simply can not understand the appeal of brand Kardashian.
How can people be so shallow and stupid?
Does it go something like this? Attention American women! You have a big problem! You don’t but want to look like and be me. I can fix that problem for you! Trust me!! Buy my brand and you will be in!
There, there now. Don’t you feel better? A little lighter in the pocket, but better.
Never underestimate the value of insecure women.
@ Denise:
TGIF!!
Marilyn Monroe gave a classic answer when she said that when she posed for Playboy back in 1953, the only thing that she had on was the radio. Back in the early 1960’s when she sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” to JFK that was a highly charged video with her wearing that see through dress that revealed that she was wearing Nothing else.
Incidentally, Pamela Anderson’s sex tape with Tommy Lee was the talk of the town.They sued. After Paris gave her all to Rick Solomon, they sued. It seems a hot and heavy channel of events that Rick Solomon would link up(and become Pamela Lee’s 3rd husband) after marriage and annulment to Kid Rock before they ended up with the announcement of an annulment. As to date No sex tape of these two partners who “discovered” each other,and stayed married long enough to just kiss and say goodbye!!
P.S.
It is amazing the things that the pen pals on these pages say (in print)that is so comical. I am only going to list 3,but you can see professionals on TV and Not laugh as hard as the comments that are shared here!!
@ strom:
the last line of your comment.
@ patrick:
the message in the last sentence.
@ yoyo:
You summed it all up!!!
Dumbed down gangsta kids these days are eating up this GARBAGE….The Trash-can-ians
Is a urinal on the registry? That routine has to get old after a while.
Unbelievable losers. It makes me sad to be an American as these vile creatures are known globally (praying hard that I’m wrong).
I wish them nothing but what they deserve.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THESE PEOPLE GO AWAY. ALL THE KARDASHIANS 15 MINUTES WERE UP AGES AGO. PLEASE PEOPLE STOP BUYING MAGAZINES WITH THEM ON THE COVER – STOP WATCHING THEIR SHOW. IS DISGUSTING TO POST THEIR REGISTRY AND TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT THE ASHTRAYS…OY – ENOUGH ALREADY
Lauren is right on! Send them to Africa!
I used to like Kim, but after that gaudy, awful engagement ring she’s flashing around, I am totally disgusted with her. Some people are just greedy to the core, and the way she’s acting, she’s one of them. I don’t know Kim, never will, but with the awful things that have happened to this country weather-wise, she and Kris Humphries could be just a litle less selfish and self-serving.
She is said by those in the know to have a extremely large vj which explains her attraction to these “big” men.
I know it is nauseating to speak about at breakfast time but it is a well rounded rumor.
