Inside Kim Kardashian And Kanye West's "Intimate" NYC Date

Inside Kim Kardashian, Kanye West's "Intimate" NYC Date
New couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had a long date night in the Big Apple Wednesday night.

After catching a showing of mega-blockbuster The Hunger Games, the reality star, 31, and the rapper, 34, continued their evening on the town by taking in Sleep No More -- an interactive, buzzed-about theater experience loosely based on Shakespeare's Hamlet. Favored by celebs like Justin Timberlake and Ashley Olsen, Sleep No More was featured on a 2011 episode of Gossip Girl.

Sans security, the pair stayed "close and intimate as they could," an eyewitness tells Us Weekly of the walk-through production, in which all attendees wear masks for anonymity.

The "Otis" rapper and E! star wandered through the premises without an escort "for hours," the witness says.

Afterwards, West led his new girlfriend to the adjacent Manderley Bar, where they watched a live band, Stella St. Clair, play 40s tunes. "They seemed to be really enjoying each other's company," says the eyewitness.

On Thursday, the pair's NYC adventures continued -- and they were spotted lunching together at Serafina's on the Upper East Side.

In town for a Friday guest-hosting gig on TODAY, Kardashian is "hanging out with Kanye a lot" during her stay, an insider explained. She and West "been friends for years," the source adds.

Single since her painful split from Kris Humphries last October. "Kim is ready to give it a try now" with West, the source confirms.

For his part, West raps on his brand-new song "Theraflu" that he "fell in love with Kim." [usmagazine.com]

Kris Humphries "Doing Anything He Can" to Humiliate Kim Kardashian Post-Split

Kris Humphries "Doing Anything He Can" to Humiliate Kim Kardashian Post-Split
Six months after confirming the end of their marriage, Kris Humphries is still out to get Kim Kardashian.

As the couple's divorce takes far more than twice as long as their 72-day marriage, insiders tell the new issue of Us Weekly New Jersey Nets player Humphries has a master plan to destroy his reality star ex.

Though the 27-year-old NBA star initially tried to stall the divorce by filing for an annulment based on fraud, Humphries has since changed his tune, doing whatever he can to keep his name in the headlines. "He's doing anything he can to get her attention," a Kardashian confidant tells the new issue of Us Weekly. "She would grant a divorce in a second. But he won't sign the papers. He won't let go."

Among Humphries' tactics to get his ex's attention: making bizarre legal demands that threaten to expose the Kardashian family, like reportedly requesting in February that the divorce proceedings be televised.

Despite his actions, a Humphries source insists the basketball player is a good guy. "Kris is not a conniving person; he just wants to clear his name because it was tarnished," says the source.

But a Kardashian insider disagrees, telling Us that back-and-forth-fighting plays into his plan. "Kris wants money and he wants fame."

After what she went through with Humphries, "Kim doesn't care if she never sees another camera again," says a source of the 31-year-old mogul, who recently launched her True Reflection perfume. "She is just a totally different person."

Argues Kardashian herself: "I have no regrets, as crazy as that might sound. What you do with these experiences makes you a better, stronger person."[usmagazine.com]

Kim Kardashian Tells Kris Humphries : "Don't Lie to Me!"

Kris Humphries is a party animal.

On Sunday's Kim and Kourtney Take New York, Kim Kardashian's then-husband found himself caught in a lie and tried to use Scott Disick as a cover-up.

Against Disick's better judgement, he let the NBA player throw a raucous party at the New York City penthouse apartment they share with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian when the women were out of town.

Though Disick was initially willing to take the blame for the bash -- which Kim found out about after seeing images of other women in her suite posted online -- Humphries eventually came clean.

"There were girls here taking pictures. Scott told me he had some people over," Kim, 31, told Humphries during a fiery confrontation.

"Don't blame Scott, he was just doing the right thing. I had people over," replied Humphries, who had so many people over that he ran out of cups and offered one guest Kourtney's son Mason's sippy cup to drink out of. "I take full responsibility -- I'm sorry. I had a handful of people over with their friends and we were hanging out. Maybe someone got invited that shouldn't have."

But Kim wasn't satisfied with his apology.

Fumed the reality star: "No one is allowed in our suite! This is my private space. Don't lie to me!"

Sunday's episode wasn't the first time Humphries' hard-partying ways got him into hot water with his wife.

Just two months into their infamous 72-day marriage, the couple "had it out" over the fact that Humphries -- then unemployed due to the NBA lockout -- was partying and going out on the town on his wife's dime.

"She told him he needs to do something productive...He needs to get off his ass, like, yesterday," a family friend told Us Weekly at the time.[usmagazine.com]

Kate Middleton Named 2011's Best-Mannered Person, Kim Kardashian Slammed as "Most Ill-Mannered"

Kim Kardashian sure could use a lesson in manners from Kate Middleton.

The National League of Junior Cotillions named the newlywed royal to the top of their annual etiquette list of the "Ten Best-Mannered People of 2011," while divorcee Kardashian failed to make the list, and was slammed as the "Most Ill-Mannered" person of the year.

Compiled by the etiquette and social training program, the list ranks actors, celebrities, singers and athletes based on one's "demonstration of dignity, honor and respect," according to NLJC national director Elizabeth Anne Winters.

Praised for "the poise and dignity with which she conducts herself in the public spotlight," Prince William's wife of eight months was the clear front-runner for this year's top spot, said Winters.

Justin Bieber (no. 2 on the list) and Paula Abdul (no. 3) were also applauded for their behavior this year, as were Taylor Swift (no. 5) and Harry Potter's Emma Watson (no. 9).

Kardashian didn't even make the list, with the group blasting Kris Humphries' reality star ex for "making a private matter public and disrespecting the institution of marriage."[omg.yahoo.com]

Will Kardashian Backlash Hurt ‘Kourtney and Kim Take New York’?

Will Kardashian Backlash Hurt ‘Kourtney and Kim Take New York’?

I have a confession -- make that konfession: I don't mind the Kardashians. While I roll my eyes at how willing Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and all the rest are to constantly step into the spotlight, I admit that I'm fascinated that they've managed to turn acting like a more exaggerated version of themselves into a multimillion dollar empire.

So when a friend asked me to join her for a book signing with the trio in L.A., I agreed.

Part of me was curious about whether the alleged Kardashian backlash would hurt the turnout. It was sparked by a story you've heard plenty of times by now: Kim's decision to file for divorce on October 31 from NBA player Kris Humphries, her husband of just 72 days whom she wed in a super-hyped, two-part TV wedding special.

More than 150,000 people have reportedly signed an online petition urging E! to stop airing "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

But none of this seemed to have any effect on the reality stars' adoring fans, who lined up by the hundreds to have their copy of "Dollhouse" signed by the sisters. Unfortunately, Kim canceled when she cleared her schedule through the holidays, presumably because she's upset about the split. Kourtney was caught in traffic, so she arrived after the first half hour ... which was longer than we were willing to stay.

However, Khloe was there in full effect, shorter and slimmer than we expected from photos, and whisked through the store with security, politely waving and cooing "hi" to the mostly tween and teen girls (and guys!) there. Some people in the crowd were clapping, a few were shrieking "Khloe," and cell phone cameras went off like crazy. I've been to plenty of book signings, but none of them had been as chaotic as this.

So much for the Kardashian backlash! After that experience, I don't care what people say about being sick of the Kardashians. I still think we're interested in them.

And I believe that the family's latest show, "Kourtney and Kim Take New York," will be bigger than ever. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" season finale in September, which showed Kris proposing to Kim, was watched by more than 3.3 million people -- 9 percent higher than the season's average. The preview for the new season of the NYC show offers a peek at what went wrong between the newlyweds, so I'm just guessing that plenty of peeps will still be willing to tune in.

Kris Humphries Is Missing From People Magazine's Kim Kardashian Wedding Cover

As promised, People magazine unveiled its Kim Kardashian wedding issue this morning, but something is conspicuously absent: a picture of Kardashian's husband, Kris Humphries, on the cover.

Very bizarre, no? Also, kinda rude? After all, Humphries was an integral part of this much-hyped event, as the extremely tall groom to Kardashian's blushing bride. It's deeply uncharacteristic of Kardashian Inc., fueled by sugar-coated Svengali Kris Jenner, to leave Humphries out of the picture, given his promotional duties as the newest member of the money-making marriage machine which Jenner runs for her successful brood of reality stars. See: Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's 2009 wedding cover for OK! magazine. Sure, it features all three Kardashian sisters pictured above the emphatic headline, "MY DREAM WEDDING." But there's also Odom, standing behind his wife, as he should be. Because he is her husband. (If you care, here's a photo of Khloe and Lamar en route to a double date with Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz, two days after Royal Wedding 2.0.)

People reportedly shelled out $1.5 million for exclusive rights to photos of the Kardashian-Humphries nuptials. Is the magazine getting its money's worth by cropping out the photogenic New Jersey Nets forward? (We'll have to find out once the sales figures trickle in.)

The magazine's assistant editor, Jen Garcia, seized the opportunity to defend the decision Wednesday morning, telling "Access Hollywood Live" (via The Hollywood Reporter), "We sorted through thousands of pictures." To which guest co-host Arsenio Hall replied, "... Looking for ones that didn't have Kris?"

"That's not true!" Garcia responded, adding: "It's all about the bride. We wanted her. It's her day, we wanted her on the cover. He's got a little height on her. It's kind of tough to get them in the (same) shot."

That would perhaps require some creative maneuvering, but it's not entirely impossible.[omg.yahoo.com]

Kim Kardashian's Wedding: All the Juicy Details!

Kim Kardashian really had a fairytale wedding!

On Saturday night she said "I do" to Kris Humphries in a stunning ivory gown designed by Vera Wang -- and a source tells Us Weekly her celebrations were "elegant and understated" and the bride and groom "really seemed happy and in love with each other."

Kim, 30, wore a diamond headpiece for her veil and a long fitted dress with a train as Bruce Jenner escorted her down the aisle. Her hair was up in a bun, and according to a source, "She looked very Armenian, like an Armenian princess!"

Kim's nephew Mason Disick, who had the important role of ring bearer, kept guests laughing. "He kept going back up the aisle," a source tells Us. "Finally I think on the third try he had the rings!"

The altar was a huge cross made of Swarovski crystals. "It was a bit much," a source said. "But Kris' family are Christians and very religious, so maybe that was a way of incorporating in religion and Kardashian style!"

Kim and Humphries, 26, wrote their own vows. "Kris talked about how he loved Kim's hustle and work ethic," a source said. "They also talked about all the things they loved about one another."

Kim's sisters Kourtney and Khloe served as co-maids of honor, both wearing ivory dresses. Sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner were bridesmaids, as well as the groom's sister Kaela Humphries.

Famous guests at the fete included Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough, Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, George Lopez, Brittny Gastineau, Eva Longoria, Mario Lopez and Sugar Ray Leonard.

The entire wedding was white and black, and thousands of white roses were incorporated into the decor. The same theme was present for the reception -- where the food and alcohol flowed!

The food was catered by Wolfgang Puck, and included buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad with basil and tomato chips. The couple's black and white cake -- designed by Hansen Cakes in LA, and estimated to cost a whopping $15,000 to $20,000 -- was a six foot tall, black and white masterpiece.

Robin Thicke sung "Angels" for the couple's first dance.

"Kim and Kris walked around and greeted their guests," said a source. "They were inseparable and affectionate the whole night, holding hands and kissing and hugging."

In addition to her main dress, Kim donned two additional ivory gowns during her reception. The second dress was longer than her wedding dress and very tight, and the third was also form-fitting.

E! Online reports that Kendall, Kylie and later Khloe changed into matching white track suits. Khloe, 27, encouraged guests to "Shake your tits!"

The newlyweds plan to celebrate their nuptials again on August 31 on the east coast. Niche Media founder Jason Binn and wedding planner to to the stars Colin Cowie are throwing the duo another bash in New York.[usmagazine.com]

Kim Kardashian's Wedding Workout

Kim Kardashian is famous for her gorgeous looks and killer curves, including her equally-as-famous, frequently photographed sculpted derriere. While she can clearly thank mom and dad for those good genes, the reality starlet is working hard to keep her fabulous, bodacious body in check for her upcoming wedding to NBA player Kris Humphries this weekend.

Who can blame her? Tying the knot in front of a camera crew with all of America watching (as part of a four-hour wedding special airing on E! in October), along with a bevy of A-listers attending is enough to make even the most confident bride-to-be want to log some serious gym time. With the help of her powerhouse trainer Gunnar Peterson, who's been working with Kardashian to keep her figure fab for the last three years, there's no question the stunning star will be looking va-va-voom amazing in her Vera Wang gown come August 20.

"I think the goal is to look her best like any bride -- and groom for that matter! -- and to be able to withstand the stress of a wedding," Peterson says. "In her case a wedding that will be on the worlds stage!" Peterson, who boasts a high-profile celebrity client roster including Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Lopez, and Angelina Jolie, was inspired to become a personal trainer after being overweight as a kid. So just how did the devoted, hard-working celebrity trainer get Kim K's bridal bod in tip-top wedding shape? "Kim's training is based on 'if you stay ready you never have to get ready,'" Peterson says. "She grinds in the gym year round and makes the right choices outside of the gym so the payoff is increased."

Peterson has been working with Kardashian three to five days per week, depending on the busy star's schedule. While her workouts were essentially the same as previous routines, they were a "little quicker paced." With all the buzz surrounding Kardashian's upcoming nuptials, it's no wonder why future brides from all over the world are finding inspiration for their big day in Petersons workouts. "Dont starve yourself. Try to get your rest so that your body can recover from your workouts, and so that your immune system is firing on all cylinders," advises Peterson. You dont need to be rundown while you walk down the aisle!"

The good news is that you dont have to be a blushing bride-to-be to benefit your body with Kim Kardashian's wedding workout. Here, Peterson gives us the scoop on her fitness routine.

What You'll Need: dumbbells, a medicine ball, a weighted sled, a treadmill and a whole lotta' stamina!

How it Works: This workout combines five moves with high-intensity cardio intervals to work your glutes, shoulders, quads, obliques, abs, hips, core, and more.

STEP 1: Squat Press
How to do it:
-Begin with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down to a 90-degree angle while keeping your back erect. Keeping your abdominal muscles tight, look straight ahead and slightly up with your eyes.

-Hold the dumbbells in front of you comfortably at about the height of your shoulders with a slight bicep and chest flex to keep them in place. Concentrate your weight on the back of your heels but don't lift up your toes during the movement.

-Rise out of the squat with a slight explosion while maintaining form and control. Breathe out on the exertion. Simultaneously press or push the dumbbells up and over your head. End the movement by bringing the dumbbells back into the shoulder position. That's one rep. Do 12 to 20 reps.

Which Muscles the Move Works: glutes and shoulders.

STEP 2: Rear Lunge with Front Kick
How to do it:
-Stand straight with feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on your hips or hold dumbbells in your hands at your sides (both will help with balance; dumbbells add resistance).

-Keeping your abs tight, step back with your right foot and lower into a reverse lunge. Squeeze your glutes as you push down through your left heel and kick your right leg in front of you as you straighten your left leg. That's one rep. Do 12 to 20 continuous reps, then repeat on the other side, kicking your left leg.

Which Muscles the Move Works: Glutes, quads and core.

STEP 3: Medball Rotations
How to do it:
-Stand with your feet pointed straight ahead and shoulder-width apart. Keeping your knees slightly bent, hold a medicine ball in both hands in front of your chest and extend your arms.

-Draw-in your navel, contract your glutes and tuck-in your chin. Rotate your arms and torso to one side, pivoting on your back foot in a repeated controlled motion. Use your abdominal and waist muscles to slow down and change direction to the other side. Thats one rep. Do 20 to 50 reps.

Which Muscles the Move Works: Abs and obliques.

STEP 4: Sled Push
How to do it:
-Stand directly behind a weighted sled with both of your hands on the handlebars. Push forward on the sled with your back straight and your knees driving up and down to generate speed.

-Push the weighted sled in a consistent marching motion for 80 feet. For high-intensity cardio intervals, do this three to six times in between the other moves.

Which Muscles the Move Works: Glutes and core.

STEP 5: Lateral Slide on Treadmill
How to do it:
-Standing sideways on a treadmill at an incline, keep your feet just over shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly and keep your back straight. Begin the exercise by shuffling to the left for 30 to 60 seconds, then turn around and repeat on your right side.

Which Muscles the Move Works: Hips, quads and core.

STEP 6: Push-ups to Mountain Climbers
How to do it:
-After completing five push-ups, stay in the push-up position and rest on the balls of your feet while bringing your left leg forward to your chest and back to its original position.

-Repeat this motion rapidly, alternating one leg forward and one leg back. This movement mimics the "climbing of a mountain." Complete 20 mountain climbers, then repeat the "push-ups to mountain climbers" three to five more times without getting out of the push-up position.

Which Muscles the Move Works: Everything! You'll be feeling it in the morning![omg.yahoo.com]

Kim Kardashian's TV Wedding : Save the Date!

Mark those calendars, dolls!


Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' wedding extravaganza will air in a two-part special on E! Sunday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 10. At 9 p.m.

Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event will take viewers inside the glitz, glamour and romance of the 30-year-old reality star and her NBA beau's "I do's."

On Monday, Kardashian confirmed that she'd be walking down the aisle in her "dream wedding dress" by Vera Wang. "Vera has been a close family friend for a long time and we had talked about this moment for years," she gushed on her blog. "So when it came to picking my wedding dress designer, she was the first person I thought of. No one designs gowns the way she does!"

She and Humphries, 26, dropped by Hansen Cakes in L.A. on Friday to taste potential desserts for their big day; she also checked out flowers the next day at Mark's Garden in Sherman Oaks.

Another pre-wedding tradition already crossed off the list? Both Kardashian and Humphries had their bachelorette and bachelor bashes last month in Las Vegas. Although they initially promised not to see each other, Kardashian wandered next door and crashed Humphries' fete at LAVO. A source told Us Weekly Humphries proudly kissed his fiance in front of the entire nightclub.[usmagazine.com]
