From news.com.au: “Kim Kardashian dealt a second blow to her soon-to-be ex Kris Humphries when she unfollowed him on Twitter yesterday, two days after filing for divorce. Kardashian, 31, whose Twitter profile boasts 10.9 million followers, appeared to abruptly kick Humphries out of her inner circle of 151 “friends” on the microblogging website. Meanwhile, Humphries, 26, continues to list Kardashian as one of the 51 people he follows. That number includes several members of the Kardashian clan, including Kim’s sisters Khloe and Kourtney and their, mother Kris Jenner. The NBA player, who became engaged to Kardashian this May, has a far less impressive Twitter presence, with 657,503 followers. Kardashian wed Humphries in a lavish southern California ceremony on August 20 and filed for divorce on Monday, less than three months into the marriage. After the bombshell announcement, critics slammed the reality TV star and entrepreneur for using the marriage as a publicity stunt. Kardashian responded that she married for love and the marriage just didn’t “turn out to be the fairy tale” she wanted, in a statement on her website. Humphries meanwhile says he is committed to the marriage and does not want to get a divorce.
I feel bad for Hump, as does my Canadian amigo Doug Smith, so I am going to follow him for a while out of sympathy. As my tweeps know, it ain”t easy to get me to follow anyone.

Even the best marriages can’t be considered fairy tale. It’s a shame when marriage is turned into a stunt.

Is that question ‘would you take 50/50?’ per chance?
