: MediaTakeOut.com just got an EXPLOSIVE bit of information. According to a person close to NFL star Reggie Bush - the NFL star and Kim Kardashian met up on Saturday afternoon - when her husband Kris was OUT OF TOWN.
The insider, who spoke to MediaTakeOut.com on the condition of anonymity, tells us that Kim and Reggie met up at BAR MASSA - a high priced sushi restaurant in NYC. The insider explained, "[Kim] knew that Reggie was in town to play [the New York] Giants, so she asked him to meet for lunch."
At first Reggie told her NO - because he didn't have time. You see the TEAM JET was scheduled to arrive late Saturday afternoon, and that wouldn't leave Reggie with enough time to hang out - before meetings and curfew.
But things changed. A freak SNOW STORM in NYC causing the Dolphins to MOVE UP the flight - and give each team member 2 EXTRA hours of downtime in the Big Apple.
The insider explained, "Reggie called [Kim] and they met up. Kim was very excited." The two ate in one of the restaurant's private booths.
So where's Kim's hubby KRIS HUMPHRIES, you ask? Well he's back home in Minnesota with his family.
UPDATE: WELL, lookie here. According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian is getting divorced!!! To see the story, click here
@cheer2smiley8 Kris Humpries is NOT a nice guy. That kid is a douche bag. He tries way too hard to prove he wears the pants in the relationship that it only makes him look like a d*ck. Yeah as a man you want your woman to respect you, but there's a certain way you go about it. He's way too arrogant. Has No swag whatsoever.
MTO u are stupid. According to u, Kris humphries and Kim are getting a divorce because the paparazzi caught him moving boxes. Hello! They are moving back to LA. Then u misconstrue her and her mother's words in an interview. Of course the marriage isn't ideal. They dont have a home yet, and Kim and Kris have different schedules. They have to make money. Now according to you, Kim met up with Reggie. Who gives a damn. How do u know her hubby didn't know if the meeting. U have no proof. Stop relying on snitches cause snitches get u in trouble. I think all of u at MTO are jealous of Kim. Let her have her [EXPLETIVE] happiness without u irrelevant people getting into it.
Kim K is a no talent attention whore. Seriously, what are people with talent up to?
This woman makes staying in the media a full time job but she has never done anything other than be some no talent rich girl.
Maybe that's hating but I've met more interesting people at McDonalds.
Isn't 'In Living Color' being brought back?
What about that? More interesting than Kim K.

...And some say that Albert Einstein was the most brilliant man who ever lived.
What??? Please!!!
The most brilliant man who ever lived was the man who coined the phrase "One should never attempt to make a ho into an housewife."
And to this day no truer words have ever been spoken. Men take note.
She will file divorce papers today after only 72 days of marriage, this b#tch better return all those gifts pronto, or catch a well earned beating.
Damn shame....Artofwar
WMTOer, I agree. But you know MTO places Kim K. before most talented black people. Even if they have to make up a lie to trump black people, MediaStankOut will happily oblige.
I used to love in Living Color....they just don't have comedy shows, or TV period like this anymore. It's much more interesting than any Kartrashian: original smart and thoughtful black folks, who came up with their own material and had all of America cracking up at one point......Kim Kardashian......is capitalizing like a muddafuggah off of the self-hatred of many black folks in America, black men particularly......simply because her ass jiggles and her daddy was on the OJ case.......sad, sad, sad.
mto get a clue....nowhere in there does it say that they met....furthermore she lives in ny and reggies team the dolphins played in ny yesterday which is why he was on his way there.....you guys need to get a clue....i am shocked you guys havent been sued with all of your inaccurate reporting that you do
IF THIS IS TRUE, IT'S DEFINITELY ONLY FOR ATTENTION. PLUS SHE KNOWS THAT A BLACK MALE WILL BE STUPID ENOUGH TO TAKE HER PLASTIC SURGERY ADDICTED ASS BACK. BLACK MALES DONT EVEN CARE THAT HER FACE AND ASS IS FAKE - COON MALES ARE DESPERATE AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
BUT I THINK THIS IS A LIE, SHES DONE USING NEGROID MEN FOR ATTENTION.
so the marriage was staged? for real. What a waste of tons of cash when the world is going through hard economic times. I have no respect for this family and making a mockery out of the real institution of marriage. Khloe married Lamar after dating him less than a month. Its all about making the money to the whole clan. I doubt Reggie will ever marry her either.
SIDNEY STAR DID NOT HAVE ANY SEX CHANGE OPERATION, SIDNEY STILL HAS A PENIS AND TESTICLES LIKE A NORMAL MALE. LETS BE REAL NOW PEOPLE SEX CHANGES HAVE CARS AND HOUSES AND NICE CLOTHES. IF YOU LOOK AT SIDNEYS VIDEOS SHE HAS A TINY BLACK AND WHITE TV IN A TACKY GHETTO APARTMENT. SIDNEY WEARS THE SAME CHEAP OUTFITS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN EVERY VIDEO. IF YOU LOOK AT HER AALIYAH TRIBUTE VIDEO YOU SEE HER SHOES ON THE FLOOR WITH A SMALL CHEAP FRIDGE. THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A TRANSSEXUAL. BUT LYING ABOUT HAVING A SEX CHANGE IS WRONG WHEN YOURE OBVIOUSLY BROKE. IT MAKES THE "REAL" TRANSSEXUALS LOOK BAD.
Am I the only person that notices... NOT only is Khloe standing in the backround looking much younger BUT.... the person standing next to Khloe is wearing a New Years Eve Hat and holding a HORN!!!! Wake UP people and recognize BS when you see it! This is clearly an old picture of both Reggie and Kim during happier times... True Fans would see this from the gate and know that Khloe wouldn't just stand there and watch. She's too into the marriage arrangement.
Child please! Kim love the media only.That marriage was faker then a 6 dollar bill. Kim strikes again making a somebody with a real career look like a nobody next to her. Chris was a fool playing along with that family game. Kim used an pimped Paris, RayJ, Reggie, and all the rest dicks she rode. She pimpin all them chicks she hang with they nothing next to her and she know it, Moms pimpin them out and teachin them how to pimp. She know just who to go after, see she dont hang or play with the celebs with game. She Hustlin hustlin hard
Kim definitely needs an older man to calm her down and handle her family. An older man is not gonna take any sh!t off of her freaking co-dependent family and he is not gonna deal with her indecisiveness. Kim just gave herself a one way ticket to "Cumville" where she will become some man's "sock puppet" for the night, no condom needed. No other famous man is gonna marry you Kim....what are you thinking? Have you thought this out, or are you just listening to that blood sucking b!tch that you call "Kris Jenner" who also has managed to suck the very life out of the men that she has been with. You better take a page from Khloe's book, because she wouldn't dare let that she devil into her marital business and even Kourtney is starting to wise up and put some distance between her and Kris. This has Kris Jenner's little grubby paw prints written all over it, and I say shame on that pinched face, putty bodied, aging not too good Whor3, and the bad advice that she gives. News flash to Kris Jenner......"Every man is not mild mannered, doormat Bruce Jenner! Thanks a lot for continuing to ruin your daughters' lives, instead of instilling morals in them!"
Yaaaaayyy! I always knew it, Kim never stopped loving Reggie. Her marriage was a jealous sham / rebound because of her sisters getting families started, the end of the best relationship of her life, and pressure from her bitch mom. Kim is a smart business woman but she makes a lot of disastrous mistakes in her personal life. But lucky for her she can recover. I really hope she gets back with Reggie because it's so obvious the two of them belong together. They look right together and their relationship was real and not some BS for the TV that her bitch mom put her up to. Kim is getting older, she needs to wise up. The marriage was a huge mistake. But, if Reggie gets back with her, it will all be worth it.
Lol... how she's looking @ them (Khloe voice) ewww!!! Oh my God Kimmy! you haven't even divorced Humphries yet you little Beeyotch!!! And Reggie's all up in your snatch...... Who didn't see this coming from a mile around? Now it's time for Reggie to put some beans in that oven and make this irritating woman your wife and don't hate on Kim celebrity and that she's a more commanding starlet than you are, just accept that the media says you are a non-MF-factor without her and get back on board that MONEY TRAIN and ride her ass into the sunset. Playa,Playa!!
soon ALL people will have to get the mark of the BEAST(((666))) to do ANYTHING!! , to rent, buy , sell all that !!... the new WORLD ORDER IS COMING SO SOON... believe/REMEMBER these TRUE words people !!!.... note to you UNBELIEVERS...soon we will have to submit PERSONAL info. to log on ALL blog sites
Getting caught with Reggie is probably the real reason that she's putting that divorce through asap.....what irreconcilable differences whor3.....mark the extramarital affair box and keep it moving. And quit trying to get her and Reggie together.....he don't really want the whor3 like that.....he even got a latina knock off that wasn't as cute and didn't have so many miles on her. Reggie is all black and no way the fam or the homies would let him live it down if he married a real live whor3 with the tape to prove it.....even ray j didn't stay around to wife that.......black people don't do that.....keep wishin' on a star ladies, but "Pretty Woman" is make believe.
That pic of Clover (in the words of Austin Powers, "That ain't no woman, baby. That's a man, man!!") is priceless. As for the topic at hand, this b*itch was never the marrying type to begin with. She's a fake a*ss, starved for a baller h*o, so everything associated with her will be fake as well. Here comes stage 3 of the bulls*hit saga of their rehearsed relationship: the messy (yet lucrative) divorce. SMMFH.
I feel sorry for kim cause as she gets older the media lose interest in her. She should not have divorced him because at her age she will never have another opportunity to get married. Most white men wouldn't breathe on her much less touch her and the only men who want her are broke baller hood rich negro rappers and athletes who's millions will be gone within 4 to 5 years.
Kris released a statement and said âIâm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,â Kris said. âI love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ⦠Iâm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.â That money grubbing whor3 is gonna get hers....mark my words....the public does not like to be made a fool of......B!tch you thought that you were above Beyonce and could pull a stunt like this......even she is feeling the backlash and she HAS talent, while you do not. No young white man is gonna marry Kim unless she takes care of him and that ain't gonna happen. Some idiot black men will marry Kim, but they are gonna d!ck her down and run with as much cash as they can put in their Jordans. B!tch don't be a dummy all ya life! While she is listening to her mother, just remember that your mother was divorced with four kids to take care of so stop listening to that b!tch because she couldn't keep her man! Kim, you better go get Kris H. back while he still wants your @ss before it's too late; leave the man alone about staring on your stupid reality show, because if he don't want to, he don't have to. Give him a real marriage and stop playing around.
A lot of you tunned in to this phoney wedding, while these idiots collected the check. I refuse to watch the Kardasians I am to familiar with thier hussel. Don't give a damn about sell out Reggie Bush, he does not seem to intelligent, he will proubly be dumb enough to marry her. All I see from this family is fake and phoney.
I see why some people stay loosing......telling people to leave their "husband" who cared enough to marry them, to get with a n!gga who used them as a "sock puppet" for years......idiot people.....who cares about what ya'll call chemistry *cough...infatuation, lust....cough* when Kris married her, reputation and all. I see why some people are sitting around in their forties and fifties waiting for a "hero" because ya whole mentality messed up. "He who finds a wife" is not the same as "She who finds a husband and a reality show." She better be glad someone is willing to marry her and let her live out her plastic peacefully where the weather is cold and her plastic will hold up better. Demi Moore went and lived out of sight for years.....and still made a comeback. And how long do you need to "shack up" with someone before you marry them....certainly not years......that is just stupid.......people can grow to love each other while married and grow in love with each other to....love is based off of mutual respect.....and if you give it a chance......it can definitely last. What am I talking to some of ya'll for......continue being statistics ya'll and stay loosing.
LISTEN!!!!!!!! THE PHOTO IS AN OLD PHOTO TAKEN AT LAST YEARS NEW YEARS EVE PARTY. MEDIATAKEOUT NEVER SAID THAT THEY HAVE RECENT PHOTOS OF REGGIE AND KIM K AT LUNCH ON SATURDAY. I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF MEDIATAKEOUT FOR YEARS, AND ANYTIME THEY DON'T HAVE RECENT PHOTOS, THEY ALWAYS USE AN OLD PHOTO JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW YOU KIM K AND REGGIE BUSH ARE. THEY ARE JUST PUTTING A FACE WITH THE NAME. IF THIS STORY WAS ABOUT HALLE BERRY GETTING BACK WITH DAVID JUSTICE, AND MEDIATAKEOUT DIDN'T HAVE A RECENT PHOTO OF THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER, THEN MEDIATAKEOUT WOULD USE AN OLD PHOTO OF THE TWO OF THEM JUST SO PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE CAN SEE WHO THEY ARE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW WHO REGGIE BUSH OR KIM KARDASIAN IS, SO A PHOTO HELPS.
PS - KIM K IS THE SH*T!! I DON'T CARE WHAT NONE OF YOU JEALOUS B*TCHES SAY! Y'ALL JUST MAD BECAUSE KIM K CAN GET A BLACK MAN IN MINUTES, WHERE AS SOME OF YOU JEALOUS WOMEN AIN'T HAD A MAN IN YEARS. LOL!!! KIM K IS MY BABY! IF SHE WANTS TO TRADE-IN THAT LIGHT BRIGHT BROTHER FOR A DARKER BROTHER, THEN DAMN-IT....SHE CAN DO THAT TYPE OF SH*T. I'M A DARK SKINNED BROTHER MYSELF...SO KIM K HAVING A THING FOR DARK MEAT IS LIKE A COMPLEMENT TO CHOCOLATE BROTHERS LIKE MYSELF. KIM K KNOWS IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THAT MILK DARK CHOCOLATE. KRIS WAS THE LIGHTEST BROTHER SHE'S BEEN WITH...AND YOU SEE HOW LONG THAT SH*T LASTED. EVEN HER SISTER KHLOE LIKES THAT DARK CHOCOLATE. KHLOE BEEN WITH HER MAN FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS NOW, AND SHE SAID SHE LOVES HER BLACK MAN AND SHE AIN'T GOING NO WHERE!!! AND FOR ALL YOU WOMEN THAT THINK KHLOE IS WITH LAMAR FOR HIS MONEY, THINK AGAIN. THE KARDASIAN NAME IS WORTH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. LAMAR ONLY MAKES $7 MILLION A YEAR. LOL!!! THAT'S CRUMBS TO WHAT THOSE KARDASIANS MAKE!
Don't get me wrong, Double K is cool and all, but 4 years ago she was selling over priced clothes in a boutique. Now, she doesn't even want to take the mans last name. She is in love with being in love ..come on back down to earth K, Not everyone is required to toletate you and that nasty attitude ...
@KushPumpsLatex - Everyone smashes their good-looking exes (depending on their situations) at one point or another. Personally, I think they met up or had a few words but didn't go to the next level. They played it smart by not being seen out in public, so that whole "Over a nice lunch" is kinda irrelevant. I would like to see them back together + I'm sure Kris or Khole would too (Yes, I watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians) Guilty than a mfka, but whatever he/she chooses is fine with me. I'm just an onlooker.

"Wikipedia is a free, Web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation."
Since its beginnings in 2001, Wikipedia has amassed an archive of 18 million entries in about 279 languages and is one of the 10 most popular Web sites on the Internet.
The power of Wikipedia is encapsulated in some basic facts about that self-defining article, "Wikipedia" â a founding document of sorts. The article, as of this writing, runs more than 7,100 words (with links to more detailed subsections), with more than 210 footnotes and a dozen graphical elements, including a video clip, photographs, a cartoon, newspaper clippings and charts and graphs. Like every entry in the online encyclopedia, it began with someone using the editing tool on the site to create an article â typically an article begins as a "stub," a first stab at defining a topic. Someone else typically expands it, while another contributor may shrink it again; some edit for style, others for typos.
Multiply that experience by over three million (for the number of English language articles) and you begin to understand the magnitude of information that has been collected on Wikipedia. In addition to the articles themselves, and the associated art work, the servers that host Wikipedia store detailed records of each and every change to an article (excluding some vandalism that is purged forever) and complementary pages for discussing editing issues related to each article. (To examine in detail how an article has been edited click on the History tab at the top of an article â by choosing one of the entries you will find colored texts to show what material was added, what material was changed; to follow the debates, click on the Discussion tab.)
Following years of spectacular growth, Wikipedia faced in 2010 practical questions of how to deal with the problems of success and acceptance.
As growth slowed in the United States and Europe, the group's organizers have held strategy sessions to spur growth in less developed countries, as well as among women, older people and less technically savvy. At the same, there have been efforts to work with experts to include their contributions on the site â a notion that would have been heretical not too long ago.
In May 2011, Wikipedia announce plans to begin a global petition drive to earn a spot on one of the world heritage lists of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The bid, the first by a digital entity, will no doubt be controversial among heritage professionals advising Unesco, who tend to view online innovation as lacking the necessary effect or maturity for listing.

"Wikipedia is a free, Web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation."
Since its beginnings in 2001, Wikipedia has amassed an archive of 18 million entries in about 279 languages and is one of the 10 most popular Web sites on the Internet.
The power of Wikipedia is encapsulated in some basic facts about that self-defining article, "Wikipedia" â a founding document of sorts. The article, as of this writing, runs more than 7,100 words (with links to more detailed subsections), with more than 210 footnotes and a dozen graphical elements, including a video clip, photographs, a cartoon, newspaper clippings and charts and graphs. Like every entry in the online encyclopedia, it began with someone using the editing tool on the site to create an article â typically an article begins as a "stub," a first stab at defining a topic. Someone else typically expands it, while another contributor may shrink it again; some edit for style, others for typos.
Multiply that experience by over three million (for the number of English language articles) and you begin to understand the magnitude of information that has been collected on Wikipedia. In addition to the articles themselves, and the associated art work, the servers that host Wikipedia store detailed records of each and every change to an article (excluding some vandalism that is purged forever) and complementary pages for discussing editing issues related to each article. (To examine in detail how an article has been edited click on the History tab at the top of an article â by choosing one of the entries you will find colored texts to show what material was added, what material was changed; to follow the debates, click on the Discussion tab.)
Following years of spectacular growth, Wikipedia faced in 2010 practical questions of how to deal with the problems of success and acceptance.
As growth slowed in the United States and Europe, the group's organizers have held strategy sessions to spur growth in less developed countries, as well as among women, older people and less technically savvy. At the same, there have been efforts to work with experts to include their contributions on the site â a notion that would have been heretical not too long ago.
In May 2011, Wikipedia announce plans to begin a global petition drive to earn a spot on one of the world heritage lists of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The bid, the first by a digital entity, will no doubt be controversial among heritage professionals advising Unesco, who tend to view online innovation as lacking the necessary effect or maturity for listing.

Alot of you do not seem to realize that as "white" as Kris Humphries appears to be, his mama is BLACK. Kris Humphries is part Black, but not Black enough. I guess.
"Itâs just like when youâve got some coffee thatâs too black, which means itâs too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you wonât even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep." Malcolm X
Reggie - Strong Kris - Weak
Stop weakening Black men with the addition of a white mother.
