KATCHING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS - KIM IN MINNESOTA TO TALK THINGS OUT WITH KRIS: KIM KARDASHIAN is reportedly "conflicted" over filing for divorce from KRIS HUMPHRIES and jetted to Minnesota early yesterday morning "to talk things through with him face-to-face."
Sources tell TMZ that Kim does *not* want to fix the marriage. They say, quote, "Kris and Kim will be meeting with the pastor who married them to talk about the marriage, the divorce, and their feelings. Kim wants to make sure she and Kris have closure and talk everything out." The gossip blog says no reality show cameras will be involved. Anyone else feel the only thing Kim wants to make sure of is that the bad publicity and fall out stop? I figure she figures if she does this it'll look like she did try but in the end that little pow-wow convinced her that she made the right decision.
UPDATE ... Kim has returned to her home in Los Angeles looking drained and tired following her weekend meeting with Kris and a pastor. Story developing.
WATCH: 'SNL' did a pretty funny Kardashian parody this past Saturday night. Peep the parody here.
IF KIM WANTS TO KEEP THE RING SHE'LL HAVE TO PAY KRIS FOR IT: There's been so much talk about whether or not Kim should keep the 2 million dollar engagement ring Kris gave her, and according to TMZ, she's more than welcome to ... if she pays him back for it.
Word is Kim loved it so much she put a clause in the prenup saying that if they ever were to split, she gets to buy it from him. That ring reportedly cost Kris around $2 million.
