Kim Kardashian Admits She Got "Caught Up With The Hoopla"

Kim and the main man in her life these days, her step-father Bruce Jenner

Kim Kardashian may be a shrewd entrepreneur, turning her Ray J sex tape-infamy into a multi-million dollar family operation that includes boutiques, a line of clothing at Sears, perfumes, and much more. But she's just like us, because, even though she's divorcing after 10 weeks of marriage to NJ Net Kris Humphries, she "married for love... I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon."

Kardashian posted a letter on her website, "This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I see all of the support and I am so thankful for my fans, friends and family who are helping me through this difficult time. I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it’s hard not to see all the negative ones" (NY Post much?) and tries to reiterate that this wasn't some amazing publicity stunt to enhance her celebrity, "I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people." Like whoever got the $1 million from People magazine for photos of the wedding?

Kardashian certainly didn't disappoint E!, the network that airs numerous shows about her and her family: E! preempted its usual Sex and the City reruns and rebroadcast her wedding to Humphries last night. The famously hard-working Kardashian is still honoring work commitments, like an event in Australia to plug the Kardashian handbag collection. She told a radio show there, "I mean, you know, in a tough situation, I think I'm trying to do the best that I can, and it's actually a bit of an escape to be able to come here." This has also been an escape for acclaimed author Salman Rushdie, who shared his Kardashian-Humphries divorce Tweets yesterday:

“@CatNyugen OK, I will rise to the challenge and offer my once-only, never-to-be-repeated Kim #Kardashian Limerick.”

“1. The marriage of poor kim #kardashian was krushed like a kar in a krashian”

“2. her kris kried, not fair! why kan’t I keep my share?”

“3. But kardashian fell klean outa fashian.”

Rushdie is open to receiving a cash prize, BTW.

  • The drama between Kim Kardashian Humphries, née Kardashian & Kris Humphries Kardashian, née Humphries is simply the kick-off to what will be the biggest soap opera saga to hit the airwaves since Luke & Laura from General Hospital. Eat that, Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event in two parts. One part scam and the other part nonsense. Let’s just say that reality television will never play as well as scripted. Hence, I give you… The Days Of Kim’s Lives: All Nine Of Them http://bit.ly/uun9L7

    Is this, in any way, related to NYC? Gothamist, you are slippin.
  • whitecastlerock
    Humphries sucks and she sucks more...
  • I wonder how differently this would've played out if the NBA didn't have all their labor issues and he soon to be Ex-husband was in the news more.

    i see a reunion special in the works
  • theevilerone
    The split will last just long enough to introduce their new show:
    Kouch Time: Kouples Therapy with the Khardashians.
  • Detex
    What do you want to bet they get back together, at least for a little while. Maybe air a TV show with the counseling and whatnot... At least it will keep her in the headlines!
  • etypical
    that was fantastic - thanks for sharing it.

    Hey, if Kris "I made money on my daughter's Sex Tape" Jenner says they made no money of this publicity stunt, it must be true, right???

    Not sure which is more F___ed up: That 'family' or their fans.
    Wonder how the 'vigil' at thier store went...
  • LtWorf
    That's because Jenner eventually wanted to pull a WOODY Allen on Kim Kardashian.
  • S.D.
    ...
  • LtWorf
    Oh come on. That was good.

    Bruce Jenner has gone from "old men who look like lesbians" to "old men who look like a fetus" status.

    Not a day over 35.
