Let's dish about Kim Kardashian
Yes, I know none of us intelligent women pay attention to stuff like that. Now that that's out of the way, what do you think of the
record divorce after 72 days? Do you think it's a sham? Did you do the amount spend/made on wedding per day of marriage of math? Do you think she just gave
gay marriage a boost? Did you hear Kathie Lee say Khloe whispered to her "I bet it won't last six fvcking months" at a pre-wedding party? What do you think of the whole thing?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: Let's dish about Kim Kardashian
I think the whole thing is sad. It seems like she's far from alone...when did marriage become all about the wedding and people didn't think about what happened afterwards? (ok, I got all caught up when I was 18 and the 1st guy who had showed me any interest asked me to marry him...but I was 18 and got out before we made it official)
I did the math...it's scary
DH told me that Kris wanted to move back to MN and she didn't but they never really talked/agreed before they were married. My response was that it seemed like you should spend at least as much time talking about that sort of thing as you do the flavors in your wedding cake.
I think it neither helps nor harms gay marriage.
I didn't hear about Khloe.
I read via TMZ that KH had no idea that she had been married before. I think that's something you should disclose to someone before you get very seriously involved. In some of the paparazzi pics, to me, it looks like they don't have a spark...you can just tell that one loves the other more than the other, IMO.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
they BARELY knew each other ... hell he had no idea that she had been married previously let alone the sex tape (or maybe he DID know about that one ?!?). it doesn't surprise me that someone looking down the barrel of 30-31 SINGLE in the world of reality tv is looking for someone anyone so the world keeps talking about THEM !! (hello hiedi montag !) and a wedding is an event that will suck folks in.
72 days while its SHORT, it's not record short - ask britney spears (55 hrs) and michelle phillips (8 days to dennis hopper).
I feel conflicted. Part of me is seriously sorry for her - someone who would get married just for the sake of getting married really has some serious self-esteem issues. And a lack of long-term thinking.
And part of me thinks it's (a little bit) funny and (a whole lot) sad that the world even cares, considering what all is going on with the economy, jobs, etc.
As for Khloe, I'm disappointed that she'd say something like that about her sister at her wedding, and I'm disgusted that that statement was made public (if it was), but *I* could tell it wasn't going to last, and I have no personal connection to the family. It was obvious from the get-go.
Being the hopeless romantic and naive person I am, I was really hoping it would last and that the rumors were tabloids just looking to stir up a story. However, when I watched the wedding special and how much they fought in the weeks/days before the wedding, I could tell things weren't looking good. When they didn't even discuss if she would change her last name, then she decided she would, then decided she wouldn't and he was so upset, HUGE red flags were popping up everywhere. As stressed out as I was for my wedding, DH and I hardly fought or argued about anything because we were on the same page about our relationship, wedding and marriage.
Khloe p!sses me off so much because she's the one who got married something like 2 months after meeting Lamar and had a showdown with Bruce on the actual show (yes I watch sometimes) because Bruce said they should wait a while to get to know each other. So when Khloe got married, EVERYONE had to be on board, but she's the one saying those things on her sister's wedding day? It just irks me. Of course I don't know the whole story, and I'm sure none of us ever will. I do hate, however, that Kim said she "agonized for two whole days" about whether to file for divorce or not. Really?? TWO WHOLE DAYS??? Give your marriage at least 6 months to a year before deciding to break things off. Marriage is work, hard work and if there were any doubts in her mind, she should've called things off before now. I'm sure a lot more people would respect her for walking away before the wedding rather than doing it how she did.
