Kris Humphries is “getting back into the dating game,” reports Star, which says the basketball player has a “sexy new babe.”

So, with whom is Kim Kardashian’s soon-to-be ex-husband supposedly rebounding?

The mag claims Humphries’ “new girl” is 27-year-old Latin singer Sammi Benz.

According to an alleged “source” for the tabloid, Humphries and Benz “were casually dating off and on, but it’s starting to pick up.”

Star notes that Benz hung out with the NBA star and his friends at NYC’s Cipriani Downtown on January 29, quoting the so-called “insider” as saying, “They were laughing, very touchy and having a great time together.”

And during Humphries’ birthday celebration at nightclub SL on February 4, he and Benz were supposedly “sitting next to each other, holding hands.”

“Kris seemed really happy, caressing her face,” observes the source.

Well, that sounds kind of strange…

No wonder: A rep for Humphries tells Gossip Cop the story is “completely false.”

And Benz herself also busted the rumor on Twitter, writing, “I’m single. Don’t believe everything you hear & see.”

Doubters be damned, Kris Humphries is insisting his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian wasn’t a sham.

“To me it was real,” the New Jersey Nets player says in a new interview with “Access Hollywood.”

He adds, “I would never go through something or do something that wasn’t real or I didn’t believe in, so I can really only speak for myself in terms of that.”

Kardashian has been accused of orchestrating the so-called “fake” marriage for business reasons, a notion that Humphries suggests is nonsense – at least on his part.

Humphries says on “Access,” “When I was kid growing up, it was always like, ‘Man, one day I want to have this or that,’ and you work so hard and that’s your goal, but like, when you get all those things that you wanted, those things don’t make you happy.”

“Money only has so much — it doesn’t rule my life so I would never do anything strictly for money,” he explains.

And even though the athlete is now single, that doesn’t mean he’s quite ready to mingle.

“I’m not dating anyone right now,” Humphries revealed. “What do they say? ‘My girlfriend is Spalding.’”

LeAnn Rimes is in a lot of pain, but she won’t say why.

The singer is tweeting about having undergone “minor surgery” this week, although she does not elaborate on the nature of the operation.

“Coming clean… I had minor surgery this week and I’ve been in SO much pain it’s not even funny,” wrote Rimes on Saturday.

She added, “When it’s mouth pain and jaw pain it makes your whole head pound! YUCK.”

A short time later, Rimes told a Twitter follower, “got meds but nada is helping sadly.”

She denied that the procedure was cosmetic, writing only that it was “medical.”

Eventually, Rimes tweeted, “The pain is subsiding finally for a moment. My head has been vibrating all day. Maybe the sand under my feet is helping.”

Hopefully, Rimes is on the mend.

“Is Kim Kardashian mending her broken heart with a hot new NFL player?” asks RadarOnline, picking up a report that the reality star is quietly dating New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

According to the sports blog TerezOwens, “The two started ‘secretly’ dating while Kim was filming the FIRST season of ‘Kourtney & Kim Take New York,’ pre-Kris Humphries days, and now they are back together, hot and heavy.”

RadarOnline uses quotes from the blog’s supposed “source,” who says, “Kim and Mark like to meet in hotels for dinner dates and flings. Whenever Kim is in New York, they hang out.”

Adds the alleged insider, “They are very careful with not being seen together, Mark is seeing someone!”

The blog’s source also claims Kardashian and Sanchez are planning a “super secret rendezvous” for the upcoming weekend.

Apparently, the reality star’s new romance is so confidential, that not even she or Sanchez knows about it!

Kardashian tweeted on Friday, “Dating rumors are always fun when u don’t even know the people your supposedly linked to! Who makes this stuff up!”

Good question.

“I AM SO ALONE,” blares a Life & Style cover featuring Kim Kardashian, which claims the reality star is “headed for a breakdown.”

According to the mag, Kardashian’s situation “has only gotten worse” since her October split from Kris Humphries, and the backlash has left her at “rock bottom.”

The tab reports that during a recent NYC dinner with Jonathan Cheban and Loren Ridinger — “two of her few remaining friends” — the star complained, “I am so alone… it’s devastating.”

Life & Style goes on to claim that Kardashian has become a depressed recluse since her breakup and that “lying around in sweatpants and eating cake” is “the norm” for her these days.

“She stays home all the time,” claims a so-called “source” for the mag, explaining, “It’s like she’s afraid to be in public.”

But Kardashian does get out occasionally, notes the mag, which says, “One of the few activities that gets her out of her L.A. pad is a weekly crisis meeting with her pastor.”

OK…

So what about the Golden Globes after-parties she attended? And the day she co-hosted “Live! with Kelly”? Or the fact that she’s photographed out-and-about in L.A. nearly every single day?

Do those not count?

Anyway, while it’s obvious Kardashian went through a tough time during the weeks following her split, she’s only doing better as time goes on.

A Kardashian family insider tells Gossip Cop the claims she’s at “rock bottom” and on the verge of a mental breakdown are “obviously not true.”

Kim Kardashian essentially ended her marriage to Kris Humphries on the season finale of “Kourtney & Kim Take New York” on Sunday night.

The reality superstar did have enough respect for her husband not to break up with him on camera.

In the beginning of the episode, Kardashian, who butted heads with her new husband all season long, says she wants to spend some quality time together before she makes any decisions about splitting.

But her effort turns out to be half-hearted.

She walks out of a pilates class she and Kris are doing together when she becomes irritated with him, has nothing to say to him during a dinner date (nor does he to her, for that matter), and basically tells the man she married he can’t move into her L.A. home.

Kardashian, of course, has been keeping her doubts from Humphries the entire time, so he’s more than a bit surprised when she informs him he can’t ship his boxes to her house after they leave New York.

“You can’t bring your whole wardrobe” to my house, she tells her flabbergasted husband, before sister Kourtney interrupts the conversation by telling him she’s “such a b*tch” for treating him in that way.

“You’re not ready for someone in your life,” Kris states before Kim storms off.

When Kourtney and Scott Disick find her, Kim confesses she’s all but done with her marriage.

VIDEO BELOW

She completely melts down, saying, “I had dinner with him last night one-on-one and I was going crazy. I had nothing to talk about,” explaining, “He’s a good heart. He’s a Christian. He’s everything on paper exactly what I want in someone, but for some reason, my heart isn’t connecting.”

Kardashian then begins to sob, and confesses, “You think I feel good that I met this guy from Minnesota… I feel awful that I like, made him move out here and change his whole life. I feel sad, I feel bad for the guy, I changed his whole life and he fell in love with me and I fell in love with him and now my feelings have changed.”

Kourtney and Disick tell her she needs to say these things to Humphries, and she agrees, but when she goes to find him after their fight, all she says is, “I think we’re going to have dinner now.”

Things get even more awkward at the end of the episode, when Kourtney asks everyone to name their “peak” and “pit” of the New York trip.

When Kim says hers is living with baby Mason - and not with her new husband – Humphries finally seems to catch on that something’s wrong.

Disick hugs Humphries goodbye and says he’ll see him in L.A., but we viewers know that’s not to be the case.

After the finale was filmed, Kim put on a big smile to celebrate her 31st birthday with Kris in Las Vegas.

One week later, she filed for divorce.

During the episode, Kim complains to sister Kourtney and Scott Disick that her husband is “shipping his 10 to 15 boxes” of belongings from their New York hotel to her L.A. home.

The reality star has been cast as a recurring character on Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva.”

Kris Jenner destroyed Kim Kardashian by molding into her into a “Mini Me” and “monster,” claims In Touch.

In a splashy cover story, the magazine alleges that Jenner pushed Kardashian “to have sex at 14″ and otherwise shaped her daughter at a young age with “questionable values.”

In Touch cites a “family friend” who believes Kardashian’s divorce from Kris Humphries was “encouraged” by Jenner, who supposedly “won’t rest until Kim is married to an A-lister.”

The tabloid says “the idea of marrying for money and fame” was “instilled in Kim as a child,” and somehow “driven home in the way [Jenner] stayed married but flaunted” her alleged affair 20 years ago with Todd Waterman, whose theories form the backbone for the In Touch article.

Um, if Jenner is supposedly obsessed with “marrying for fame” and has complete control over her “Mini Me” daughter, as In Touch claims, then why did she sign off on the Humphries marriage in the first place?

But dubious internal logic is not the article’s only failing.

The bait-and-switch cover, which makes the rather serious allegation that Jenner “pushed” Kardashian to have sex at 14, corresponds to nothing in the article itself.

There’s a vague reference to Jenner being “permissive about sex” and giving Kardashian “the green light to have sex in her teens.”

We’re not exactly sure how that equates to the implied pimping advertised on the cover.

In any case, the entire article is an exercise in sensationalism and gross exaggeration.

It’s true that Jenner is not only Kardashian’s mom – she’s also her manager.

She’s involved in her daughter’s career and obviously has influence in her personal life.

But the notion that Jenner’s infidelity when Kardashian was a child turned her daughter “into a monster” is a leap that needs actual facts and specifics to be believable.

A source close to the family tells Gossip Cop that In Touch’s assertions are “ridiculous.”

According to the National Enquirer, Kim Kardashian is hoping to hook up with Tim Tebow.

You read that correctly.

“Sources say that Kim has been telling pals she wants to land a date with the devout Christian football sensation,” states the tabloid.

To make its case, the Enquirer cites debunked statistics concerning Kardashian’s TV ratings and appearance fees, theorizing that snaring Tebow is all about business.

“Kim needs to rehab her image to get her career revved up again,” explains a so-called “source” for the magazine, adding, “Dating someone like Tim Tebow would certainly do the trick.”

Uh-huh.

Actually, it sounds more like the Enquirer noticed that Kardashian has been in relationships with athletes, picked the football player who’s had huge recent media buzz, and decided to pair the two names.

Because as sources close to Kardashian assure us, it’s completely “not true” that she’s been chasing Tebow.

Let’s see how the Enquirer tries to wriggle out of this fabrication!

The tab quotes a source as saying, “Tim’s been made aware of Kim’s crush, and although flattered, he’s not interested.”

What a convenient development for the publication that made up the “crush” in the first place!

Kim Kardashian co-hosted “Live! with Kelly” on Monday, and argued that her brief marriage to Kris Humphries was not a sham.

The reality star explained, “If you really think about it, if this was a business decision and I really made all that money that everyone was claiming that we made off this wedding, and if the wedding was fake and just for TV – I’m a smart business woman — I would have stayed married longer.”

“This was a bad business decision,” she joked, referring to the massive criticism she’s received since announcing her divorce from Humphries, adding, “I really didn’t think that following my heart would create this much backlash.”

Kardashian continued, “Me being such a hopeless romantic, I wanted to believe in something so badly,” noting, “Khloe and Lamar got married after knowing each other for a month and they’re going on three years. My mom and Bruce after five months got married and they just celebrated their 20th anniversary.”

“I fell in love and thought it could work just like the examples that I saw,” she admitted.

As for how she’s been coping since the split, Kardashian said, “It’s been a hard couple of months. I moved in with my mom — half the time with my mom and half with Kourtney… I really did some soul searching.”

Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kris Humphries begins its final stretch on part one of the “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” season finale.

The show, which in recent weeks has chronicled the demise of the couple’s relationship, picks up with Kardashian having little interest in Humphries’ sister Kaela when she comes for a visit.

“It’s gonna be hard to put on a happy face,” Kardashian says, given the tension recently between her and her husband.

As Kardashian – who didn’t know Kaela was coming to New York – distances herself, Humphries’ sister takes it personally and leaves town earlier than planned.

“I’m sure she’s over your ‘too busy for anyone’ attitude,” Humphries chides Kardashian.

To make matters worse, Kardashian’s decision to meet with medium John Edward, whom she hoped would connect her to her late father Robert, doesn’t seem to please the NBA player.

When Kardashian complains about the issue, Kourtney tells her sister, “I don’t think normal people hate the people that they’re with this much.”

After the emotional meeting with Edward, where the topic of divorce comes up, Kardashian breaks into tears.

“I don’t want to be married anymore,” she reveals to Kourtney just before the episode ends.

The drama appears to reach its climax next week, on part two of the season finale.

According to the National Enquirer, O.J. Simpson claims he’s Khloe Kardashian’s real father.

You read that correctly.

The jailed and disgraced football legend supposedly told “an insider” for the tabloid that Kardashian is his daughter, following an alleged tryst with Kris Jenner in 1983.

The Enquirer’s “bombshell” cover story follows on the heels of its sister publications Star and RadarOnline flogging rumors that the late Robert Kardashian was not Khloe’s biological dad.

Now comes this report of Simpson’s possible paternity, which seems to be based on the “astonishing resemblance” between Khloe and Simpson’s actual daughter, Sydney.

(Not exactly.)

The entire story is hearsay and desperately attempts to link Simpson to these new reports of Khloe being a love child — even though Simpson has never said anything of the sort.

The magazine fabricated a cover story suggesting he fathered Khloe Kardashian, without a shred of evidence whatsoever.

This is an Enquirer “bombshell,” not an “O.J. bombshell” as the cover proclaims – and it’s 100% false, either way.

On Wednesday, Khloe’s sister Kim treated this nonsense with appropriate silliness.

She tweeted a photo of the Enquirer cover and jokingly wrote, “Now we have all the answers! It makes sense now! Khloe u are so tan!”

The slow motion train wreck that is Kim Kardashian’s marriage continued on “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” Sunday night, with the reality star admitting she’s “unhappy” in her relationship.

When Kim has lunch with Jonathan Cheban, she dodges questions about Kris Humphries and instead focuses on her drama with Khloe (they’re still not speaking after Kim called her an “ugly little troll” a few episodes back).

Near the end of the show, Kim finally apologizes to Khloe and confesses what’s really bothering her.

She tells her sister that she’s not happy with Kris, and feels like she rushed into things and got caught up in the “fairy-tale.”

“I don’t like who I am in this marriage,” Kim says, adding, ”I don’t know what to do… I just feel like not myself.”

Kim also acknowledged she’s been taking out her unhappiness with her own life on family members, admitting to Khloe that she knows she’s been “so mean to everyone.”

She also promised she would tell Kourtney about how she’s feeling – but made no mention of discussing her marital unhappiness with her husband.

Super-billioniare Warren Buffett is not completely familiar with Kim Kardashian’s work.

The not-so-shocking revelation comes courtesy of a new interview with the legendary businessman.

Buffett has been very vocal about wanting wealthy Americans (like himself) to pay higher taxes.

Meanwhile, the Courage Campaign advocacy group has launched TaxKimK.com to advocate for a ”Millionaires Tax of 2012,” claiming that Kardashian “only paid 1% more in taxes than a middle-class Californian” in 2010.

A scathing report on the Kardashians in today’s New York Post seems to be a little light on the facts.

The newspaper contends that Kim Kardashian and her ubiquitous family have taken a sharp nosedive in the marketplace.

“Everything the reality family touches turns absolutely toxic,” charges the article, claiming “party promoters, magazine editors and television execs [are] all scrambling to blacklist them.”

Really?

According to so-called “insiders” for the Post, ratings for the family’s reality show “have plummeted,” with magazines and products carrying the Kardashian name supposedly “unmarketable.”

That’s not exactly true.

For instance, “Kourtney & Kim Take New York” is up 43% from the previous season and averaging its best ratings ever, with more than 3 million total weekly viewers.

Interestingly, the Post never mentions the show.

The newspaper alleges that “the wheels came off” for Kim in the wake of her split from Kris Humphries, and claims promoters have cooled on bringing her in for personal appearances.

“Kim was once paid $600,000 to spend New Year’s Eve at Tao Las Vegas,” write the Post. “Now it’s the total opposite.”

Huh?

That reported payday was for this New Year’s Eve – the one just two weeks ago, well after the Humphries breakup.

The article also quotes a single publicist who’s gotten “bored” with the Kardashians and one club owner who jokes that he’d “pay her $600,000 personally not to [appear]” to make it seem like there’s a huge trend toward “blacklisting” the family.

As Forbes found out, a number of other details in the original article, including the premise that magazines with Kardashians on the cover saw sales drop recently, are cherry picked and misleading.

One top editor at a major weekly tells Gossip Cop of the Kardashians: “They still sell.”

Essentially, the Post piece tries to invent a dramatic story that simply isn’t there.

If anything is “toxic” here, it’s the reporting.

The silly site, which bases its story on an article from the equally questionable In Touch, then quotes a so-called source as saying, “Kim got very nervous and hung up.”

So, how does HollywoodLife know Kardashian was “lusting after their hot sex”?

Kim Kardashian graces the February cover of Success magazine.

In a piece titled, “How Kim Kardashian Became a Billion Dollar Brand,” the reality star and entrepreneur, whose daily comings and goings fill magazines pages and blog posts, discusses the empire she and her family have created.

Kardashian, who began her career selling clothes and being a personal stylist, says she understands the role she plays for her fans.

“I feel like I’m giving my sisterly advice,” Kardashian tells Success, adding, “I’ll listen to fans’ comments and questions asking what skincare do I use or what fragrance I like, and I feel I’m in a position that I can answer those questions well.”

She also reveals that “every six months my mom and I set goals and visions for what we want to achieve… Then we write a goal that is outlandish and outside what we think is our goal range.”

“We once said ‘Wouldn’t it be a dream to have a fragrance?’ And sure enough, that goal came true. It always happens that way. Maybe not that year, but those goals always come true,” says Kardashian, whose family has several fragrances in the market already.

The family’s empire now includes Dash stores, Kardashian Kollection handbags, Kadashian Khaos eye makeup, Kardashian Kolors nail polish, the PerfectSkin skincare line, ShoeDazzle.com, and Kim’s Belle Noel jewelry collection.

Kardashian acknowledges to Success, “It might seem like we’re attached to so many products,” but notes, “Actually, we’ve started to pull back a little bit so we can focus more on larger product lines, such as the Sears collection.”

Not every idea pans out or is a smash success.

“People aren’t stupid,” says the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star. “You really have to love what you do and you really have to believe in what you’re working for, for everyone else to believe you.”

Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kris Humphries crumbles more and more before viewers’ eyes on January 8′s back-to-back episodes of “Kourtney and Kim Take New York.”

In the first show, while Kim and Kourtney take a few relaxing days in Mystic, Connecticut, Kris heads north of the border with Scott Disick to Toronto, where the basketball player does a club appearance for cash.

One problem: The boys don’t tell their significant others about their road trip.

When all return back to New York, Kim blast Kris: “How does it make me feel that your wife needs to find out your in a different country on twitter? …That is so shady of you.”

And their relationship doesn’t get any better in the second episode during which Kim jets off to Dubai for an appearance with Kris Jenner at the opening of a Millions of Milkshakes.

While thousand of miles away from her spouse, Kim admits, “I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders since I’ve been here in Dubai.”

She adds, “Being away from my husband… I’m back to myself. I’m enjoying this feeling.”

When returning to the U.S., Jenner asks Kim if she’s “excited” to get back to her husband, to which the reality star confesses, “Not really.”

She goes on to tell her mom, “There’s something in my relationship that I feel is not right… Married life isn’t what I thought it would be with him.”

“My heart is telling me I did this too fast,” says Kim right as the show ends.

So, what happened?

But the reality star’s “worst nightmare came true ” after the NFL player was allegedly spotted recently with a Kardashian look-alike in Miami.

Now, says a supposed source, Kardashian’s “embarrassed because he doesn’t love her back,” and “her heart is broken.”

Supposedly, the “Master of the Mix” judge confronted Kardashian about the cheating, asking her in an email to “just stop” and “don’t be that person,” but Kardashian ignored her plea.

“It’s not cool. You don’t do that to somebody,” says Rose, claiming she later got revenge on Kardashian by hooking up with Reggie Bush.

Rose explains, “The only reason why me and Reggie got close at one point is because we were both getting cheated on.”

OK, so why didn’t we hear anything about this two years ago when the cheating allegedly occurred?

Because it NEVER happened.

A source close to Kardashian tells Gossip Cop, “This is NOT true,” noting, “Kanye and Kim have been friends for a very long time and they knew each other long before Amber was in the picture.”

Our insider calls Rose’s story complete “bullsh*t.”

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ short-lived marriage took another twisted turn on Sunday’s episode of “Kourtney and Kim Take New York.”

The newlyweds got into an argument after Humphries bluntly asked Kardashian’s best friend Jonathan Cheban if he was gay.

Cheban, who says he’s straight, didn’t take too kindly to the interrogation, particularly since Humphries wouldn’t drop the issue over the next several days.

“I am so embarrassed right now,” Kardashian said of Humphries behavior. “Kris just does whatever he thinks and he just has to be sensitive.”

Oddly, the questioning led Kardashian to admit she herself didn’t know her pal’s sexuality.

Cheban later revealed he has never been in love, but prefers his love life to remain “mysterious.”

With hours until the Iowa Caucus, on Sunday Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney compared President Obama and his promises to Kim Kardashian’s wedding vows.

While stumping in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Romney joked, “I’ve been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through making Iowa promises… I think the gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of ’til death do we part.”

The crowd of hundreds laughed along with the candidate.

No word yet whether Kardashian finds the joke as funny.

Kim Kardashian, whose 2011 was marked by a wedding and divorce announcement 72 days later, was happy to ring in a New Year on Saturday in Las Vegas.

The reality star, sporting pin straight hair and new bangs, first dined in a private room at Tao, where she toasted friends and family, including her mom Kris Jenner and former “Dancing with the Stars” partner Mark Ballas, with a Midori cocktail.

“It’s a tradition to ring in the New Year here at Tao!” said Kardashian.

After dinner, it was off to party in Tao’s nightclub.

We’re told Kardashian, who hosted the club’s New Year’s celebration, danced to a number of songs, including her own tune “Jam,” which Jenner had the deejay play at one point.

The Kardashian matriarch also hit the dance floor with Ballas, who spun her around and even tried to teach her a few hip hop moves.

Before the countdown at midnight, Kardashian noted she was looking forward to the upcoming year.

She told the crowd, “I am so excited and can’t wait for 2012 to come.”

We’re wishing Kardashian a less dramatic new year.
