SURPRISE! KIM CALLS IT QUITS WITH KRIS

October 31, 2011 at 10:47PM

LOS ANGELES - Just 10 weeks after their lavish, made-for-TV wedding and less than a month after the wedding special aired, reality starlet Kim Kardashian is canceling her marriage to Kris Humphries.

The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star filed for divorce Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision," she said in a statement. "I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned."

The filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court provided few details, other than to state the couple have a prenuptial agreement that will dictate how they divide their assets. Kardashian is asking that both sides pay their own attorneys' costs and that a judge terminate Humphries' rights to spousal support.

Kardashian, 31, and Humphries, 26, were wed Aug. 20 in a star-studded ceremony at an exclusive canyon estate near Santa Barbara. The couple's wedding registry at a Beverly Hills jeweler totaled $172,000 and included such items as a $1,650 coffee pot and two $1,250 sterling silver vegetable spoons.

It was the first marriage for Humphries -- an NBA player who played one year for the Gophers and led Hopkins High to the state title in 2002 -- and the second for Kardashian, who was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

Kardashian and Humphries announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out "Will you marry me?" in rose petals. Entertainment media have breathlessly reported every available detail on the relationship since it began, including early signs of trouble.

The couple's marriage was the subject of a two-part special on E! Entertainment Television, which televises the Kardashians' reality show. Kardashian said in her statement that she and Humphries "remain friends and wish each other the best."

Doherty says 'I do' for third timeShannen Doherty has married for the third time. Doherty married Los Angeles photographer Kurt Iswarienko on Saturday in Malibu, Calif. The 40-year-old actress is most famous for her performance as Brenda Walsh on "Beverly Hills 90210." She reprised the role in the CW "90210" spinoff. She was previously briefly married to actor Ashley Hamilton in 1993 and Rick Saloman in 2002. Saloman is known for making a sex videotape with then-girlfriend Paris Hilton that surfaced in 2003. Iswarienko specializes in celebrity portraits.
