Kim Kardashian at her wedding to NBA star Kris Humphries. She has filed for divorce.
The whispers reached a fever pitch when Kardashian headed to Dubai with her mom, Kris Jenner, instead of her husband, who is unemployed thanks to the NBA lockout. Star magazine reported a week later that Kardashian had consulted a "top divorce lawyer" after she she was spotted on said lawyer's floor in a New York office building.
