Breaking News: Kim Kardashian to file for divorce

Kim Kardashian is going to file for divorce after only 72 days of being married to Kris Humphries. Harsh.

The separation act will be listed today (31 October) and Kim has hired top lawyer, Laura Wasser to act on her behalf.

Laura has been previously hired by Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, so Kim is taking it seriously. heatworld is unable to confirm reports that Kris has hired Robocop, Mr T and a dinosaur to argue his case.

Kim is said to be seeking a divorce on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences'.

The split shouldn’t require that much work, Kim had a cast-iron pre-nuptial agreement in place before the couple married. After all nothing says romance like comprehensive legal documents.

The rumours of a split between Kim and Kris have been around for weeks after the couple were both spotted without their wedding rings and Kris moved out of their apartment together.

Kris was spotted moving out of the very posh Gansevoort Hotel in New York last week where the couple had been living. That's never a good sign.

The Kardashian Wedding

Kim and Kris had a lavish multi-million pound wedding on 20 August, and they even renewed their wedding vows only five weeks later, because that's what everyone does, right?

Kim and Kris renewed their vows on the Ellen DeGeneres’ chat show, so that everyone who couldn’t make it to their mega exclusive wedding could see a bit of the magic.

Ellen officiated the ceremony said, "We are gathered here today because we are the only 300 people who weren't invited to Kim and Kris' wedding. It's been five weeks since your wedding, which is a long time for reality TV stars, so it's time to renew your vows."

Kris promised to "love, honour and keep up with" his wife Kim, Kris was also asked to swear to buy a copy of Ellen's new book.

Update Ryan Seacrest confirms Kardashian divorce

Ryan Seacrest has just tweeted: "Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins."

If Ryan Seacrest says it is true, it must be real.

Bonus fact 1: According to reports the wedding cost over $10 million, which works out as $138,888 per day they were married. Ouch

Bonus fact 2: 72 days is the average gestation period of a guinea pig.

    This story makes me angry because of the obscene amount of money they spent on it...$10m, not including $2 for the ring! Gay people can't marry everywhere and this chick is getting married like it's going out of style. Really pissed off and YES totally judging her. She has no shame.

    you are all pretty quick to judge aren't yous? if you watched keeping up with the kardashians you'll have seen that they were pretty much in love !! yes they married quickly but so did Kohle and Lamar and they have lasted so far haven't they! I don't actually believe that she went round asking people to marry her just to make more money, she is pretty good at doing that herself with her perfumes, clothes etc. yes they spent quite a bit on the wedding but so would you if you were marrying the man/woman of your dreams. they thought they would be together forever but sometimes thats not the case!! and i know the people that comment on these storys are always going on about heat's spelling if it bother yous that much why do you keep going on the page?!.... phew! rant over but its pretty sad to hear there getting divorced!

    Wow, shocker. Maybe she shouldn't have spent such an obscene amount of money on that show of a wedding.

    Well he wasn't exactly her first choice of husband was he, she was asking round for basketball players or the like to marry her but the one she did ask didn't want to be in the spotlight just like Kris. This just goes to show that she only married him for the big money deals, why else would she be divorcing him already if it wasn't just about the money. She should in no way be classed as a role model not least because of who she is and what her family are all about but the dodgy video she did and the first failed marriage. I doubt Kris wanted the whole big ceremony but had to go along with it because it's what Kim and her mum wanted. Her mum seems to be at the fore front of every desicion Kim makes with regards to money, business deals and now the wedding.

    And people think of her as a role model? Yeah, great role model for little girls Kim, Splashing out millions on a marriage then divorcing quick as anything. What a mockery.

    well now it's blindingly obvious they only married to get the cash from the wedding exclusive. how low can these reality "stars" go, seriously? most couples who are genuinely in love would have loved to have such an amazing wedding ceremony. they should be ashamed. I hope their cash makes them very happy.
