Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Divorce

According to Piers Morgan: Kim Kardashian sold the rights to her wedding for $17.9m. Her marriage lasted 72 days. That comes to a pretty sharp $10,358.80 per hour.

But seriously is anyone shocked? This is such a slap in the face for marriage! Was this a public case of everyone seeing he wasn't the one but the bride? Or was this a case of celebrities making money and increasing their fame? Or was this a case of a two people not really taking marriage seriously enough because divorce is so easy? Money or love baby... Hmmm.....your thoughts?

***UPDATE***

Kim issued a statement:

"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."

Kris issued a statement:

"I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce," he said in a statement that made it sound like she didn't discuss it with him.

The Prenup

Kim, 31, cited "irreconcilable differences" in court documents filed today. The date of separation is listed as Oct. 31, 2011 (Halloween - really???)

The documents confirm that the two had a pre-nuptial agreement. She listed "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects" as well as "earrings and accumulations" amassed before, during and after her marriage as items that should be confirmed as separate property. Hmm, does that include her $2 million, 20.5-carat diamond ring, designed by Lorraine Schwartz?
