Kim Kardashian ties Kris Humphries' ex into feud as divorce trial looms - Metro.co.uk

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has roped Sinanaj into the divorce proceedings in a bid to prove Kris is not quite the innocent victim he is claiming to be, TMZ has reported. 

Kris has tried to keep the fact that he and Myla had been an item since January under wraps - to the point his people lied about the relationship - over fears it would have an detrimental effect on the divorce case.

Kris has demanded £4.5 million from Kim, claiming she devastated him by filing divorce papers, and yet it seem two months after their split he was dating again.

Sources say Kim's lawyer is keen to find out whether Kris said anything to Myla in relation to his claim that the 72-day marriage was a fraud.

Myla's lawyer Joe Tacopina has accepted service on her behalf.

The divorce trial is reportedly set to begin next week in Humphries' home state of Minnesota.

A source told Hollywood Life: 'Depositions are starting this week. It's in motion.'

Kardashian recently opened up about her divorce in an interview with Oprah, claiming she had no ill feelings towards Humphries and that he would always have a place in her heart.

However, Kris's people have said this was purely a bid to win over the public.

The insider said: 'They haven't spoken since she visited him in Minnesota, so it's hard to believe she loves somebody and cares about him when she's never reached out and apologised in private.'

Kim has been dating rapper extraordinaire Kanye West since April.

John Cena Divorce: Liz Cena Accuses WWE Star of Cheating - Bleacherreport.com

The saga of WWE superstar John Cena's divorce just keeps plugging along, with new wrinkles coming out seemingly every single day. 

Cena's estranged wife, Liz, now believes that her husband was cheating on her. According to TMZ, her lawyer Raymond Rafool is examining tips their camp has gotten claiming that Cena was having an extramarital affair, which could potentially render the prenuptial agreement null. 

But the story does not end there. Former WWE star Kenny Dykstra has gone on a Twitter rampage recently, telling all of the dirty secrets from the past. 

The "it" he is referring to, according to Wrestling Inc., is "Mickie James and John Cena dating." Dykstra and James were engaged to be married when they were both in WWE, so he would seem to be a credible source. 

The Wrestling Inc. report also says that Cena's relationship with James led to Dykstra being transferred from Raw to SmackDown before WWE released him in 2008. Also, James supposedly wanted to keep dating Cena, he was not having any of that, which led to James being shipped to SmackDown and eventually fired.

It sounds like moving to SmackDown is the place to go before you get fired, at least if you are standing in the way of Cena's life.

This whole mess is playing out like a terrible daytime soap opera. We have the white knight hero who can do no wrong, then decides that he is unhappy in marriage and is going to file for divorce. The estranged wife who wants to make his life miserable, even after the papers are filed. The former co-worker who was engaged to a woman who the hero was having an affair with. 

Who knew that what went on behind the scenes in WWE was far more interesting than anything happening in front of the cameras?

No matter what, it does not sound like this situation is going to go away soon. At least Cena has every Monday to look forward to, where he can beat up former general managers and smile while doing it.

Katie Price blames ex Alex Reid's greed for lengthy divorce - The Sun

As she was quizzed on Loose Women about whether she would soon marry her Argentinian fiancé Leandro Penna, the 33-year-old revealed she couldn't wed yet because she's still not divorced.

She told panel members Carol Vorderman, Lisa Maxwell, Janet Street-Porter and Jane McDonald: "Well I'm not divorced yet, that sounds really awful doesn't it?"

In March Katie and Alex, 38, were granted a decree nisi at the High Court in London.

The divorce should have been finalised by a decree absolute just a few weeks later, but Katie suggested today that the process was still being held up by her ex.

She said: "Well it would have been quicker, but obviously someone's after some more money so that's why these things take time."

Katie wed cagefighter Alex in February 2010. They split just 11 months later.

Before Alex, who is now engaged to Chantelle Houghton, former glamour model Katie was married to singer Peter Andre for three-and-a-half years.

And today Katie revealed she is going to take things more slowly when it comes to her third marriage.

She declared: "This time I am being very careful and grown up that there's no rush and I'm going to do everything properly, there's no rush.

"I don't want to keep getting married and married."

Asked what she meant by properly, she replied: "Well the last time was the rebound I have to say, it's true, but he was the rebound really from Pete.

"When I was with Pete I never thought we'd ever split, I always thought it was forever.

"We did split, I met Alex, and now I've met Leo and hopefully it will stay that way."

Katie was forced to wear curlers in her hair as she was introduced on the lunchtime ITV1 show after turning up at the studios late.

Sitting backstage with fellow guest Carrie Underwood she explained away her appearance by telling the Loose Women: "I'm always late."

Carol told her: "Well try and get them out before you come on later."

And Sun columnist Katie did, joining the ladies towards the end of the show looking as glammed up as ever, with her long blonde hair flowing over her shoulders.

Speaking about her initial problems communicating with Spanish-speaking toyboy Leandro, 26, she told the ladies: "He couldn't speak English, I couldn't speak Spanish, it was all google translate.

"Well at least you couldn't argue could you."

But she said things had now improved after Leandro learnt English.

She said: "He's had proper lessons in English, he speaks English now."

Katie also confirmed that she WILL be joining Leandro as his partner on dancing show Bailando Por Un Sueno.

She said: "I'll be doing it as well, they've asked me to do it, so I'll be doing it next month."

Leandro is currently taking part in Argentina's raunchier version of Strictly Come Dancing.

He performed his first dance with partner, Macarena Rinaldi, last Friday.

But his stiff disco routine was panned by the show's judges who scored them just 20 points.

Katie said she couldn't have joined Leandro on the show earlier as she is currently promoting new book In The Name Of Love.

Leandro previously said his wife-to-be was worried about him appearing on the steamy dancing show.

Contestants have been known to strip down to just their knickers and simulate sex acts in the past.

But she has since said Leandro can do what he likes, because no other woman would have a chance with her hunk.

She said last week: “She can be all sexy all over him. I’m not bothered. It doesn’t interest me.

“I have no problem with any woman going near Leo because I know he loves me."

Katie told the Loose Women: "He's dancing with a girl now, and I don't have a problem with that, but normally in these programmes they end up together don't they?"

Calls to Alex Reid's management went unanswered today.

A-level student predicted to achieve top grades is escorted from college by police after 'refusing to stop REVISING' - Daily Mail

By Jamie Mcginnes

Barred: Jamie Gagliardi claims he had 'nowhere else to revise' and did not have a computer at home

Barred: Jamie Gagliardi claims he had 'nowhere else to revise' and did not have a computer at home

An A-level student who was 'obsessed with revising' had to be escorted from school by police after ignoring a classroom ban.

Jamie Gagliardi, 18, had been told to stay home from Ifield Community College in Crawley, West Sussex, for one day after interrupting the headteacher during a meeting on Wednesday.

But he went to the college - whose students notched up a 100 per cent A-level pass rate last year - the following morning, claiming he had 'nowhere else to revise' for his psychology A-level on Monday and he did not have a computer at home.

He was asked to leave but began 'causing a nuisance and a disturbance'.

At 8.45am college officials decided that the only option was to call in the police after the teen refused to leave the premises.

The pupil, who is also taking A-level law, English and history, was escorted from the college and his mother was called to pick him up.

Police confirmed that the teenager would not be charged with any offence.

Speaking this week, Jamie said he was given a one-day ban from the college last Wednesday for interrupting the headteacher during a meeting, meaning he was not allowed in the school the following day.

He said: 'I have been punished for wanting to do well.

'I am a hard-working and dedicated student and this could have such an impact on my future.

'The college has overreacted in what is probably the most important week of my school life.

'I have told teachers many times that I do not have a computer at home so would not be able to work at home.'

Bosses at the 1,090-pupil college - rated good by Ofsted in February this year - said the teen is ‘obsessed’ with after-school tuition and the police were called because he was ‘causing a nuisance’ by refusing to leave the premises.

Marilyn Evans, the school’s director of administration, said Jamie was a 'very bright boy', but added: 'He became vociferous and irritated that he couldn't have after-school revision.

'The teacher has already given up her time to give extra revision in half term and during the school day, when she was meant to have free time.

'On Thursday, he was causing a nuisance and a disturbance on the premises.

'He is obsessed with doing after-school revision.'

She added: 'He probably feels that without those extra sessions he won't get the grade he wants, but he will. He is a top student.'

A spokeswoman for Sussex Police confirmed today that officers were called at 8.45am on June 14 to remove a 'disruptive' pupil who was refusing to leave the premises.

the lad needs a shrink not the police and the info should never have left the school grounds. given how much pressure the kids feel about A levels the school should have handled it better

Good old Ifield Community College. Why not give the boy an ASBO while they're at it. A College that calls the Police when a boy wants to study, bet they don't call them very often.

He wasn't excluded for revising, he was excluded for being rude, disruptive and insubordianate. A part of the role of schools is to prepare kiddywinks for the real world. They have done nothing wrong.

OMG Looser. High School in the UK need more Jocks to sort these geeks out.

It's really sad that he doesn't have a computer at home, couldn't the school have loaned him one for a while? At least the boy is dedicated and I'd rather have that than kids who continuously truant and don't care about their grades.

If he can't follow simple instructions, then I doubt any university or employer will take on this guy. Also, universities expect you to be independent in your studies..something this person doesn't seem to be able to do. Not only that, but his appearance leaves something to be desired. There are facilities outside of school premises he could have used, one such being a library(I believe most schools have a library). Not only that, the notes he had been taking throughout the year would have been more than sufficient for revision.

just by looking at him you can tell he doesnt have a life outside school

No dear, YOU overreacted. This is NOT the most important week of your school life and it WON

This blame culture really infuriates me, so what that he doesn't have a computer at home? He should have thought about that before interrupting the head teacher during a speech! You say it's the most important week of your life in terms of exams? Well, if it all goes wrong for you, it's completely your fault! Don't try to turn the tables on the school by suggesting that their decision is affecting your exam results, it was your fault the decision was taken in the first place!

is it just me or does he look like a obsessed stalker!?

Divorce Rings Are the New Bling: How to Select Jewelry for a New Beginning - Huffington Post

A wedding or engagement ring is the ultimate symbol of love, so what do you do when you want to discard it and move past the relationship that the diamond is tied to? (See under: I'd throw this ring off of a cliff if it wasn't worth so much money).

Keeping emotions in check is key, according to an article by CNN's Liane Yvkoff. Yvkoff stressed that winning the ring is half the battle. In the state of California, a woman has the right to keep the ring if her fiance broke off the engagement. If she breaks the engagement, he can ask for it back. Even once you win ownership, you are at an even tougher crossroads: what to wear instead?

Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives to simply getting rid of it. Here are some ideas:

Sell bad memories for a finer piece of jewelry

Parting can be such sweet sorrow when selling back a wedding or engagement ring that once symbolized true love. It could be argued that no one knows the sentiment of bittersweet selling than engagement ring buyer Eric Smith, who shared his tale of love and loss to GeekOSystem reporter Eric Limer. After buying his girlfriend the dream ring, Smith found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him. Not one to be defeated, he sold it on eBay. In Smith's case, he bought a full-scale suit of armor modeled after Master Chief from Halo, but your purchase doesn't have to be anything even nearly as outlandish.

Of course, not everyone wants to get rid of their ring. For them, recycling might be the best option.

Rock the ring in a different form

Sometimes it's hard to separate yourself from a beautiful piece of jewelry. Rocking the ring on a different finger and being asked about it isn't very appealing, so why not think outside the ring box? By melting the gold or taking the diamond and centering it into a necklace, bracelet, or other piece of jewelry, the old becomes the new without any separation on your part. A jeweler can take components of your ring and do wonders, including making cost effective pendants out of a gold chain with your diamond attached.

For those who want to start from scratch, there are plenty of options for brand new jewelry, including a new trend -- divorce rings.

Turn the old into the new with a divorce ring

Divorce rings might be in vogue right now, but they have actually been around since the 20th century, according to Abazias Diamonds blogger Christina. Divorce rings can take the shape of traditional rings or can be clearly focused on separation. From quality to size, divorce rings vary as much as engagement and wedding rings. Christina shares her experience with the types of divorce rings she has seen:

"Divorce rings vary in style. Some rings, for example, are quite clear about the message they send," Christina said. "They may feature a design that is cut in half -- clearly indicating a recent divorce. Other divorce rings are designed with more of a hopeful message. The materials used in the rings also tend to vary, much like engagement rings. Some, for example, are cast in gold while others feature platinum or silver."

What will you choose?
