One obscured, apparently, by water caused by a recent storm, poor drainage, or both. Don’t you hate when that happens and you can’t see how deep it is? Speaking of which, watch what happens when he tries to get it out. Just wait. Russian Taxi Driver

Lost amidst the hoopla of Kim Kardashian dating Kanye West ? She’s still married to Kris Humphries! How can this be, considering the couple signed a pre-nup that divided their assets? And considering they have now been apart far longer than the 72 days for which they were wed? Simple, Kim’s lawyer argued in court today: Humphries is dragging out the precedure because he wants to keep his name in the news. According to TMZ, Laura Wasser stood in front of a judge today and decreed the action of her client’s ex. She said Kardashian will be asking Kris to foot her legal fees if a divorce trial actually commences. And it looks like we really might be headed down that path: the judge ruled that depositions will be permitted, meaning Kim might truly sit in front of opposing counsel , under oath, and be asked about her motivations for marrying Humphries. Amazing.
Looks like Patricia Krentcil and Snooki are in a war of words. It was inevitable. Krentcil, a.k.a. “Tanning Mom,” is firing back at the Jersey Shore star after Snooks went on Extra this week and weighed in on Patricia’s recent arrest. Police arrested the New Jersey Tanning Mom for taking her five-year-old daughter tanning. Asked for comment, Snook noted, “that b!tch is crazy.” Word. When Krentcil got wind of this, she labeled Snooki ” the biggest a$$hole in the world ” for criticizing her life decisions … and didn’t stop there. Police have their hands full with all the Oompa Loompas in N.J. lately . Tanning Mom apparently doesn’t like Jersey Shore , because she says, “When this is all said and done, I’d like to meet up with ‘Snoopy’.” Yup, Snoopy. Charlie Brown is rolling in his grave right now. “She’s fake, she’s fat, her t*ts are fake, she’s disgusting,” Krentcil, who pleaded not guilty to child endangerment, said of the pregnant reality star. It’s a tough feud to pick the winner in, but even Snooki would probably know better than to let her kid into a tanning booth. Just saying.
