Considering Kris Humprhies wasn’t able to keep Kim wifed up, he’s evidently learned from his mistakes in their short-lived marriage and wants to help Kanye. Interesting. Humphries’ advice comes off as passive aggressive insults, […]

There’s a crazy level of WTF going on with this entire Trayvon Martin Tragedy. George Zimmerman still hasn’t been charged with Trayvon Martin’s murder. This is just ridiculous.

While Kim Karadashian was appearing on The Today Show with Ann Curry, telling her that she loves Kanye’s “Theraflu” that features gushy lyrics about her, even though she wasn’t really about answering Kanye questions.
