KIM KARDASHIAN DENIES CHEATING ON KRIS HUMPHRIES: "In Touch Weekly" is reporting that New England Patriots safety BRET LOCKETT and KIM KARDASHIAN hooked up last year ... while Kim was dating New Jersey Nets star KRIS HUMPHRIES!!!

Lockett - who claims he had a five-month affair with Kim - tells InTouch Kim "pursued him." Kim denied the accusations saying she's never even met Bret. She put hiim on blast yesterday, writing on her blog, "Is this your pathetic attempt for attention? I'll be damned if anyone, especially some loser I've never even met, is going to try to come between Kris and I."

She's reportedly looking into taking legal action against Bret and InTouch. But Bret is sticking by his story. He went straight to TMZ and called Kim a LIAR telling the website he has concrete proof of the alleged affair, including phone records, text messages and personal cellphone pics of Kim.

And from the sound of this clip it seems like Bret came forward only because Kim is claiming she doesn't even know him.

WAS THE J.LO HONEYMOON TAPE STOLEN???!!!: The drama surrounding the JENNIFER LOPEZ honeymoon video has taken an interesting twist. Radaronline reports the tape has now been stolen.

The video, which isn't really a sex video since it doesn't feature any sex but does feature a few minutes of J.Lo's naked butt, is from her first marriage to Ojani Noa. Earlier this week a judge ruled that Noa's current girlfriend - who is in possession of the tape - cannot sell it without Jennifer's permission.

Well, now she tells Radaronline that a co-executive producer on the project has taken the data drive that contains the footage. When reached for comment, Ed Meyer said he took it so it doesn't fall into the hands of J.Lo's attorney.
