Welcome to THG Asks, where two of our experts debate topical issues in the world and you vote for the winning argument! Today, in the aftermath of the Kourtney and Kim Take New York season premiere , THG Asks this crucial question: Was Kris Humphries in on the divorce drama? YES by Hilton Hater It’s konceivable that Kris Humphries was klueless about Kim Kardashian when they first started dating. Granted, she had gone out with numerous professional athletes before. And, yes, her sex tape has likely been viewed by more people than attend New Jersey Nets home games. I could maybe buy that Humphries was so focused on improving his post-up game that he hadn’t signed online in two years, even if her family sold out long before LeBron James. Still… you want me to believe that this basketball player – who was aware his league was headed for a lockout and he’d be missing multiple paychecks in the near future – didn’t comprehend what he was getting into after a first date swarmed by paparazzi?!? Or when his proposal was filmed by E! cameras? Or when his wedding was turned into a four-hour TV special? I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine Kris really thought Kim would simply move to Minnesota, pop out a few babies and the couple would live happily ever after, tabloid-free. As the old adage goes: It takes two to tango down the aisle, feign affection, pocket millions, get divorced 72 days later, cry a river in public and laugh all the way to the bank. Kim Kardashian Divorce – The Pulse NO by Free Britney With all due respect to my Kardashian expert kounterpart, Kris Humphries looked absolutely mortified last night, and I doubt he’s that good of an actor. In my view, the big oaf was likely seduced by Kim’s voluptuousness and lavish lifestyle and didn’t realize what he was getting into until it was too late. I put nothing past Kim or her “momager” Kris Jenner. Those people have fewer scruples than I have patience for people who use the term “momager.” I hate myself right now, but not as much as Kris (H.) was hating life when he walked in on a naked dude teaching Kourt yoga (and E! writers high-fived). The man got played. Plain and simple. Humphries was needed to give Kim a fairytale wedding, then hit the bricks ASAP, as her brand is more valuable when she’s single. Everything about Kris, from his mannerisms last night, to his actions after getting dumped, to his assertion that Kim will be irrelevant one day, indicates he had no clue. How could he fall for it? Kim is probably a nice girl in private, but that’s the thing. There is no private when your career is a never-ending reality show and a 24/7 shill. Naively, he assumed he’d settle into a blissful relatively quiet post-wedding life. Instead, he got an apartment with Scott Disick. No one willingly agrees to that. THG Asks you … was Kris in on all this?

Olympic skiing gold medalist Lindsey Vonn is officially back on the market. The 27-year-old has filed for divorce from Thomas Vonn, Yahoo! reports . “This is an extremely difficult time in my personal life and I hope the media and my fans can respect my need for privacy on this matter,” she said in a statement. Thomas Vonn, a former Olympic skier himself, had been her chief adviser and scheduler. “[I will] continue to be coached by the U.S. ski team,” Lindsey added. Their relationship caused a rift between Lindsey and her father Alan Kildow, due in part to their nine-year age difference. Kildow, who was replaced by Thomas as her coach and mentor, was not invited to the couple’s 2007 wedding. Lindsey is one of five women to have won World Cup races in all five disciplines of alpine skiing: Downhill, Super G, Giant Slalom, Slalom and Combined.

Whitney Purvis of 16 and Pregnant fame had enough of her baby daddy’s slacker, lazy lifestyle, so she kicked his ass to the curb and peaced out with their child. That’ll send a message alright. Now 18, Whitney “Never Nervous” Purvis was living with her boyfriend and their son in an apartment in Georgia up until a couple of weeks ago. Then she bailed. According to Whitney, Weston Gosa “was gone all the time. He wouldn’t come home until 3 in the morning … I was home with the baby and he was nowhere to be found.” But Whitney doesn’t believe Weston was cheating. She says: “You definitely know when someone is cheating on you. He was just out with his friends all the time getting all messed up … I don’t want that around my kid.” Whitney claims that the pair was fighting constantly and she just couldn’t take it anymore, so she moved back in with her parents – and her son came with. Weston has yet to comment, but he is giving Josh Rendon and Ebony Jackson a run for their unfit parenting money. Good thing Whitney stepped up.
