1Kris Humphries Won’t Date While He’s Still Married

From Radar:

Kris Humphries has no plans to date until his divorce from E! reality star Kim Kardashian is finalized, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, depositions for Kardashian and Humphries will take place at the end of the June. Kardashian filed for divorce after only 72 days of marriage, and she’s now dating Kanye West.

Media reports circulated on Monday that Humphries was spotted at the beach in Miami, with a Kim Kardashian look-alike, and there was speculation the duo are dating. However, our sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively, “Kris won’t even consider dating anyone until his divorce to Kim is finalized. Kris is very much aware that Kim is dating Kanye West, and he could truly care less. He wishes her nothing but the best, and if she can be happy with Kanye, great. He just isn’t ready to date yet and doesn’t want to get in a serious relationship right now. Kris isn’t living like a monk and goes out with his buddies to clubs,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

Kris is pushing hard for their divorce case to go to trial and for cameras to be allowed to tape the proceedings, something the usually publicity-hungry Kardashian is vehemently against.

“Kim is just livid that she has to be deposed. She has tried to get out of it, but there is no way she can,” the source says. “Kris is ready for his deposition to be taken and just wants the truth to get out about what really happened when they were dating and after the wedding,” the source says.

Humphries will “absolutely get married again, when the time is right. Kris wants to have a family, but he isn’t going to rush into anything. He is hopeful that the divorce will be finalized by the end of the year,” the insider revealed.

Good for Kris Humphries! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dating around while you’re separated or in the process of divorce – I don’t think you should feel an obligation to remain committed to a relationship that definitely exists only in the legal sense – but there’s a difference between that and what Kim is doing with Kanye. If I were Kris, I imagine that I’d be a little hurt by everything, not because I’d want to get back together with her (because, uh, no), but because this whole thing has seemed so easy for her. She loved him enough to marry him, but positively couldn’t make it more than 72 days before throwing in the towel? And then she managed to get over him fast enough to get with what will quite possibly be her next husband only a handful of months after that?

I hope Kris finds a nice woman who wants to settle down with him in Minnesota and have his babies and let him play his basketball. That is my fondest wish for Kris Humphries. That, and that he gets his way and has the divorce trial filmed.

5Get Ready for The Divorce of The Decade!

From Radar:

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are scheduled to have their depositions taken in their ongoing divorce proceedings at the end of June, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As we previously reported, Humphries’ lawyer plans on asking Kim about her decision to keep the $325k white Ferrari that was given to the former couple by a wealthy Malaysian businessman as a wedding gift, amongst other matters vexing her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Kardashian filed for divorce after only 72 days of marriage, and has since moved on to date Kanye West.

“Kim’s deposition will take place at her lawyerLaura Wasser’s office at the end of June and Kris’ attorney Lee Hutton will do the majority of the questioning,” a source close to the former couple tells RadarOnline.com. “The deposition is scheduled to last for an entire day. Kris’ deposition will take place in Minnesota towards the end of June also and Kim’s attorney will have to fly from California for that. Kris lives in Minnesota during the off season and this is where his attorney is based. His deposition is also scheduled to take a full business day.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kris is pushing hard for their divorce case to go to trial and for cameras to be allowed to film the proceedings, something the usually publicity-hungry Kardashian is vehemently against.

“Kim is just livid that she has to be deposed. She has tried to get out of it, but there is no way she can,” the source says. “Kris is ready for his deposition to be taken and just wants the truth to get out about what really happened when they were dating and after the wedding,” the source says.

Despite all the hours I’ve spent watching Law and Order: SVU, I actually don’t know all that much about law. Shocking, right? But I know that some of you are much more knowledgeable than I am in this area, so just give it to me straight: am I going to be able to hear every single thing that Kim and Kris discuss in these depositions? They’re supposed to spend an entire business day each talking about their relationship and the divorce, so are they going to video it and release it on E! or something? Can I at least read some notes about it? Because I am dying to hear Kris talk about Kim for eight hours.

5Kris Humphries Is Still A Good Person

Back at the beginning of the month, I told you guys all about how Kris Humphries invited Kaely Kwitek, a 16-year-old girl suffering from cancer and a fellow Humphries supporter, to see him play. Apparently Kaely is a super fan of Kris’, and he was planning on paying for Kaely and her family to fly in and catch a Nets game. After they set the date, Kris said this:

“I’m truly honored that someone with much larger things on their plate feels that my involvement in their cause is important. Not many of us can be as strong as she has been. I hope that many more will join me and support Team Kaely.”

Well, the date that Kaely was scheduled to visit has come and gone, so what happened?

From TMZ:

Kris Humphries’ date with 16-year-old cancer patient Kaely Kwitek has the NBA star smitten … so much so that he’s in it for the long haul.

As TMZ previously reported … Kaely — who is battling stage 4 anaplastic large-cell lymphoma –  was invited to be Humphries’ guest of honor at a Nets game … once he found out it was her dream to hang out with the NBA superstar.

Sources close to Kris tell TMZ … after meeting Kaely following the Nets game on April 23, he is determined use his star power to help raise money for the 16-year-old, in order to help her family with the staggering financial costs.

We’re told Humphries is also excited to get the teenager to as many games as possible next season, since Kaely said the unforgettable experience lifted her spirits tremendously.

Kaely’s trip wasn’t all roses … the Nets lost by 18.

This is why I like Kris Humphries. He does these awesome things, and he doesn’t tweet every single detail like some famous people would. He’s a decent guy who got infatuated with a girl he didn’t really know and got into a bit of a pickle. I think Kim played him for all he was worth, and when it turned out that he wanted to settle down and start a family instead of another spin-off show, she decided he wasn’t worth all that much.

Are any of you guys turning into Humphries supporters now, too?

7I’ve Got a Lot of Questions About Kris Humphries’ New Photo Shoot

… But mostly, I think I just really want to know why he’s wearing so much eyeshadow.

I’ve got other questions, too, like ‘how does it feel to be dumped for Kanye West’, and ‘why do Kim’s friends hate Kris so much’, because Kim’s people are blasting him for hanging out in the spotlight where Kim left him. From the Huffington Post:

“The pictures are ridiculous and just go to show how far Kris is willing to go to remain in the public spotlight,” a friend of Kim’s tells me. “I haven’t spoken with Kim about them, but you know she will get a good laugh when she sees them.”

[Another friend says] “He’s a dude, he’s in great shape and very attractive and wanted to show that off,” Derek Warburton tells me. “He was getting pulverized week after week on the cover of every magazine, and he’s cool. I wanted people to see that. This has blown up. Everyone is talking about Kris now.”

But Kris’s rep’s claim that the interview is on the up and up and has nothing to do with exploiting his sham-marriage to Kim any further:

“The allegations that he’s seeking revenge with this photo shoot are false and we remain adamant that personal issues will be handled by his legal team and not in the media.”

So, I don’t know. I just don’t. Is Kris a bad guy? No, I don’t think so. Is he overstaying his welcome in the celebrity world? That’s subjective. Some would argue that because Kim “created” him, he’s got every right to be there. Since she exploited him and molded him to be “famous,” this is the result. Who, after all, has the ultimate authority to decide who deserves to be famous for whatever reasons anyway, when we’ve got people like f-cking Snooki and The Situation and all of those ho-bag teen moms running around? At least Kris Humphries has things going for him – like how he’s, you know, a professional basketball player and not, YOU KNOW, famous for no reason other than the fact that his family has money and can throw it around like it’s piss on a dirty whore.

7Kris Humphries: Solid Dude

Oh God, I’m not trying to make Kris Humphries “happen,” am I? Last week I showed you guys that interview he did with Life & Style and I told you that I “kind of like” him, which is true, and the week before that, I told you guys about the divorce battle between Kris and Kim, and I defended him. Am I a Humphries sympathizer? Do I think he’s a good person?

Actually, I think I might. Especially thanks to this story from TMZ:

Being with Kris Humprhies may not be Kim Kardashian’s wish anymore, but it is for a 16-year-old cancer patient in upstate NY … and the NBA star is making it come true, TMZ has learned.

Friends of Kaely Kwitek started a Twitter account called @Kris4Kaely in an effort to get the attention of Kaely’s favorite basketball player. Kwitek has stage 4 anaplastic large-cell lymphoma and her friends were hoping to wrangle Kris for a benefit for Kaely in May.

Their persistence paid off and Kris noticed. After trading a few emails, Kris and Kaely decided on April 23 for her to come down and catch a Nets game as Kris’ guest. He’ll handle all expenses for Kaely and her family and even meet up with her after the game.

Kris tells TMZ, “I’m truly honored that someone with much larger things on their plate feels that my involvement in their cause is important. Not many of us can be as strong as she has been. I hope that many more will join me and support Team Kaely.”

Call me naive, but I can’t see a truly bad person doing something like this. Kris gets another pass in my book.

Oh, and here’s something I like to think about that this story reminded me of: isn’t it weird how pretty much every celebrity is someone’s favorite celebrity? Think about it. Somebody’s absolute dream guy is Steve Buscemi (which is kind of fair). Someone’s life would be positively made if they could just meet Courtenay Semel (remember her?). Isn’t that wild?

It’s the little things, you guys.

4Kris Humphries Wants You to Get to Know The Real Kris Humphries

Please take a moment to read these excerpts from Kris Humphries‘ interview with Life & Style. As I’m sure you all realize, Kris Humphries is going to be a fixture in the entertainment world for years to come, and since he’s already such a key figure in the media and so loved and adored by millions, it makes sense that he would want to make sure all his admirers know what he’s really about. I won’t give everything away, but here’s a spoiler: he’s a great dude.

From Life & Style:

Kris Humphries is in the midst of a heated divorce with Kim Kardashian, but the busy NBA player set aside time to speak with Life & Style during his Sector watch photo shoot in New York City. Kris was candid about the tough year he’s faced and says he’s eager for people to get to know the real him.

“I am a genuine person who says it like it is,” he told Life & Style at the March 20 shoot, adding about being the face of the brand, “I only like to be involved with things I truly believe in. It’s the kind of person I am. A lot of people do things just for money, but that’s not for me.”

These days, the 6-foot-9 athlete has one of the most famous faces in the world, but he tells Life & Style he’s not concerned about the negativity.

“I’m used to it,” he confided. “I’m comfortable being in my own skin and being out there.”

As for the future? He’s taking it one step at a time.

“I’m really just going with the flow right now, trying to have fun in life,” he says. “I just want people to see the lighter side to me. Life is too serious sometimes — people take things too seriously. I think everyone should be able to make fun of themselves and just have fun.”

If there’s one person who stands behind Kris’ character, it’s Sector’s Chris Del Gatto.

“Kris is always very thoughtful about everything he does,” Del Gatto tells Life & Style. “It was a no-brainer that he be the face of Sector. He really embodies the ethos of the brand. He’s someone who pushes himself.”

Yeah, I think this is all pretty much true, especially the “genuine person who says it like it is” part. From watching the shows, it’s clear that he’s one of those people who will tell you the absolute truth, no matter what, with absolutely zero sugarcoating. That made him seem like kind of dick sometimes, but that’s just the kind of person he is, and if you don’t like that, then, I don’t know, I guess don’t marry him. I think Kim just wanted to find some clueless dude, mold him into what she wanted, then marry him and get pregnant. It was never about being so in love and all that, it was about getting someone to bend to her will and also give her babies. And yeah, she picked the wrong person.

I kind of like Kris. Too bad he’s going to disappear after the divorce is over. Except in the NBA, I guess. Meh.
