In the meantime, Lopez and Anthony have continued working together in their Latin-American talent show venture, Q’Viva!

It was reported that Anthony spoke to creator Simon Fuller and told him he was considering quitting for good. His reason was “quite simply, J.Lo. I can’t work with her,” an insider toldStar Magazine.

Despite the fact that Kim Kardashian had considered getting an annulment herself, it still came as a surprise when Kris Humphries filed for one himself. According to People, “Kim doesn’t want a battle.” She wants to part ways with her ex amicably.

According to sources, “the split was devastating” for the reality starlet.

The public hasn’t heard much from Kris Humphries since Kim Kardashian filed for divorce, but his plan to annul their marriage could change that, reported Hollyscoop.com. The annulment would dismiss their pre-nup, which includes a strict confidentiality clause that forbids either party from discussing intimate details of their relationship to the media. No pre-nup would mean no rules to follow, and Humphries could finally speak out. “Kris wants to be able to talk about the relationship without fear of being sued,” a source close to Humphries told RadarOnline.com. He filed the annulment under claims that the marriage was a “fraud.” He believes Kardashian deceived him as a tactic to benefit her success as a reality TV star.

Kris Humphries is finally taking action. Ex-wife Kim Kardashian filed for divorce on October 31st, but Humphries wishes to bypass divorce proceedings by getting the marriage annulled, reports UsMagazine.com. Humphries is crediting “fraud” as the reason behind the couple’s split, but only because the other options were unfitting. “The whole ‘fraud’ thing is ridiculous. If the marriage was a sham, he was in on it,” said a source. “Did he not see the cameras or get a cut of whatever money was made? The marriage was real. It was just a terrible and unhappy one.”
Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn and her husband of four years Thomas Vonn have filed for divorce, according to People. Thomas is not only a former Olympic skier, but he is also Lindsey’s coach. “It is with great sadness that I announce that Thomas and I have begun divorce proceedings,” she said in a statement to The Denver Post. “This is an extremely difficult time in my personal life and I hope the media and my fans can respect my need for privacy on this matter. I will continue to be coached by the U.S. Ski Team and look forward to competing the rest of the season.”

Despite a calm public statement, Demi Moore has been sending out seemingly cryptic tweets, under her handle which still reads’@mrskutcher.

They have even been seen leaving a Kabbalah house together, despite arriving separately. According to sources, Demi Moore has been on a “positive swing” despite the negative backlash that can often result from a divorce.

I finally caught Kim Kardashian’s wedding special while I was home sick one day, and now there are two hours of my life I wish I could get back. Three days later, when news of her impending divorce broke, I wasn’t surprised at all. I mean, anyone who tuned in to her wedding special could tell that the couple barely liked each other. I was originally ready for Kim to go away, but Lord knows I love a great reality show train wreck. So, I couldn’t look away.
While Ms. Kardashian and I couldn’t be more different, we also have a few things in common. We’re the same age, in love with being in love and have a particular affinity for high heels and hair extensions. I then came to the conclusion that Kim Kardashian could teach me a thing or two about marriage:
In Young Adult, a fiction writer, Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron), has just finalized her divorce and is heading back to her hometown in Minnesota. When she reconnects with her ex, Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson), she wonders if they can rekindle the relationship they use to have in high school. The problem? Her ex is married with children! This is going to be a good one, and we can’t wait to see Theron back in action on December 9th.

The marriage may be over, but the season has yet to air. New footage from the upcoming season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York showed then-newlyweds Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian flirting around in a negative light, reports UsMagazine. In the clip, Humphries picks up Kardashian and says, “God, you ate a lot of wedding cake!” Though joking, a source says that Humphries frequently criticized his wife. “He belittled her in front of people,” said the source. “He’d call her stupid. It was truly sickening.”

According to People, Party of Five actor Jeremy London’s girlfriend called the Palm Springs Police Department on Friday saying he assaulted her after an argument over the custody of their child. London’s rep, Dominic Friesen, stated, “This is a false allegation and we understand that the police have to follow protocol in issuing and arrest warrant — standard when any woman files a complaint of domestic abuse. However, no such abuse occurred and these allegations will soon be proven false.” Further, Friesen said, “Jeremy’s legal counsel is cooperating with authorities and a factual account of the incident is on record. We anticipate Jeremy to be cleared of any wrongdoing as he continues to enjoy fatherhood and embrace sobriety.”

Regardless of what you may think of the Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries whirlwind marriage, you have to admire a woman who knows how to play to her strengths. Ever since Kim’s life became the subject of an E! reality TV show, her life became a business. Like any good businesswoman, she knew when to cut her losses.
Whereas most women in the non-reality world may have ignored the inner voice that told us we were making a mistake with our marriage and then spent years trying to make it work, Kim called it quits before anyone invested any more time or money.

According to Kris Jenner, this past week hasn’t been easy for Kim Kardashian as she deals with her divorce from Kris Humphries. Jenner says that her daughter will eventually open up about the issues that led to her decision to file for divorce, but for now she’s still trying to sort things out. “She needs to do what she’s doing now and cry and figure it out,” Jenner tells Extra Magazine. “She’s just trying to follow her heart, and she’s going to be OK.” Recently, Kardashian flew to Minnesota to see Humphries because, “She really needed to talk to him,” said Jenner. She was there for less than 24 hours, and the two allegedly met with the pastor who performed their wedding ceremony to discuss what went wrong.

It was just a few weeks ago when over four million viewers tuned into E! to watch Kim’s Fairytale Wedding, but it only took until the end of the month for the couple to split. They may have been newlyweds, but they were already bickering like an old married couple on the set of Kourtney and Kim Take New York. The fighting may have been too much for Kardashian, 31, who filed for divorce from Humphries, 26. After rushing their relationship with a quick engagement and wedding ceremony, along with the added pressures of filming the show, dealing with the media, and attempting to manage their busy conflicting schedules, their 72-day marriage has come to an end. “She rushed into it too fast,” a source close to Kardashian told People. “She’s holding it together. It’s insanely troubling and heartbreaking, but it’s a decision she knew had to be made.”
