It’s official. Kris Humphries wanted to live in his native Minnesota. Kim Kardashian wanted to live in LA. They never discussed it before the wedding vows and didn’t work it out after the marriage. So what choice did Kim have? Divorce was the only solution. You can learn more about this theory of reality-show-for-profit romance, marriage and separation at TMZ .
Not to worry though. USA Today is confident that the split, after only 72 days of wedded bliss, won’t damage Kim’s brand. Now here’s a sad confession. Until I read the USA Today piece I didn’t know Kim Kardashian had a “brand”, though I had heard the Kardashian family made buckets of money selling stuff based on fame they’d achieved through some reality tv show.
But, forgive me. I’m putting off the question by which the fate of the world will be determined. Should the wedding gifts be returned? Sasha Souza, a wedding planner from Northern California, thinks they should. Understanding that world peace or a three point move in the unemployment rate could hang in the balance, what’s your take?
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan returns to court today as a California judge tries to figure out what to do with the misfit former Disney sweetie. Seems she failed to complete her community service at a woman’s shelter. She found the assignment wasn’t meaningful for her, though she has no problem with her cleaning duties at a local morgue and has even developed a habit of showing up early for that assignment.
Photogs will line the courthouse steps to see what she wears. Bringing a toothbrush in her purse might be helpful. The prosecutor plans to ask for jail time now that Lohan’s probation has been revoked. How long she’d actually spend in the County lock up for her 2007 DUI and last year’s theft conviction remains in doubt given overcrowding issues.
Yes, The Moderate Voice is a political blog and people show up here to debate the grand policy and electoral issues of the day. I just thought it might help lend some perspective to that discussion if we were up on what the rest of the world was thinking about.
