72 days

So much for "till death do us part."

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce today from her husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries.

All those people who said it wouldn't last were right.  And anyone who bought an "Our 1st Christmas Together" ornament as a holiday gift for the happy couple is probably frantically searching for their receipt and planning a quick trip to the mall.

In her official statement to E! News (the same network that filmed and broadcast her lavish --rumored to have cost $10 million -- wedding) Kim said,"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."

Seventy-two days doesn't seem like an adequate amount of time to have given her decision "careful consideration" or to have genuinely tried to make her marriage work.  Did she even think about seeing a  marriage counselor?

For his part, Kris told People, "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce… I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."

These two statements definitely sound like they were made by people who weren't reading the same book, let alone on the same page.

Kim says "I have decided to end my marriage."  There's no mention of Kris in that declaration; it's all about Kim.

Kris says he's "devastated to learn she [Kim] filed for divorce."  It doesn't sound like it's a decision they reached together.  In fact it sounds like Kris was blindsided by Kim's move.  Kris was probably also caught off guard by the fact that Kim attended a Halloween party in New York City on Sunday with another guy.  So while Kris might be "willing to do whatever it takes to make it work," Kim has clearly moved on.

My cynical side thinks that all of this was planned -- some sort of weird, unfathomable publicity stunt.  Although why anyone would want to participate in a scheme that makes them look like a cross between a heartless b*tch and a clueless fool, I have no idea.

If all of this is for real, I truly feel sorry for Kris Humphries.  He seemed like a fairly decent guy, though from the start it appeared that he let Kim wear the pants in their relationship.  Kris may be "devastated" but it's a pretty safe bet that it won't be long before he realizes that 72 might just be his lucky number.
