One of the rumors going around is that Kim and the E! network actually shopped around the NBA looking for a boyfriend for Kim. And Humphries wasn't even their first choice.The gossip site Wetpaint claims producers wanted a New York player since Kim and Kourtney's reality show was filming in NYC, and first approached DANILO GALLINARI (below) of the Knicks.
He, however, wasn't interested in dating Kim or being on a reality show. Apparently they figured Jersey was close enough and settled on Humphries, who plays for the Nets.
Meanwhile ... sources tell 'Us Weekly' the couple is not getting along because "Kris is not drinking the Kardashian Kool-Aid" which is leading to "major problems.” And while Kim works on her reality show and other various business endeavors, Kris remains unemployed thanks to the NBA lockout.
Word is her constant urging to do something productive with his free time led to a huge blowout just days before Kim’s October 21st birthday, causing Kim to question whether she should have ever married him in the first place.
JESSICA SIMPSON PREGNANCY STORY FINALLY BOUGHT BY PEOPLE MAGAZINE: You can bet they didn't pay half a million dollars for it, but word is 'People' magazine won the bidding war to announce Hollywood's worst kept secret: that JESSICA SIMPSON is pregnant.
An internal memo that was leaked yesterday revealed how they had originally planned to fill up at least two pages with information everyone already had: by using photos.
The memo read "Jessica finally revealed her baby news. Now see how the mom-to-be stylishly kept her growing belly under wraps." However the announcement is not on the cover of the new issue or in one of those little boxes on the side so it looks like Jessie and Pappa Joe held out too long until the story finally lost its value.

UPDATE - NANCY GRACE NIP SLIP TRAUMATIZED KIDS: The FCC has released the complaints they received after "Dancing with the Stars" inadvertently broadcast a millisecond of NANCY GRACE'S nipple last month. (--Nancy has denied the nip-slip ever happened, but she's full of it, it happened.)
TheSmokingGun website got their hands on the complaints, and here are a few highlights from several angry viewers' letters:
-"Nancy Grace had a wardrobe malfunction where her nipple private came out and scared my children. She should be fined."
-"I want action!!! I am so offended to see her boob. My kids are traumatized. I want action against her and this network!!!"
-"Although by accident, these types of things should not be allowed on television. Children were most likely watching this program, and the nipple could have traumatized the poor things."
