First Comes Love, Then Comes Famewhoring–Are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West a Legitimate Couple?

Are they or aren’t they?  Do you even care?  Of course Kim Kardashian can’t stay out of the media for three seconds, so naturally she is milking her romance–or fauxmance?–with rapper and d-bag (I love you, Taylor Swift!) Kanye West.

Apparently, a source close to Kim’s husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries, is speaking out to Hollywoodlife.com about Kim’s newest conquest.  Or would it be Kanye’s newest conquest?  It’s hard to have competing famewhores…things get confusing!

Kris’ friend tells the site, “Whether or not they are in a real relationship, it’s a publicity stunt to sell records on his part and more importantly for her, to divert people from talking about her divorce.  If anyone deserves each other, it’s these two. They both love publicity and material things.”

Adding speculation to this whole ‘we’re madly in love’ charade, Kim has been photographed several times very publicly leaving Kanye’s apartment. In fact, there’s Kim in the above photo just coincidentally leaving her new beau’s apartment wearing his lounge pants and being like ‘Oh, paparazzi! Where’d you come from?’.

The insider claims that Kim and Kanye’s recent public displays of affection and NYC slumber parties are certainly planned by the duos publicists, citing it is “no coincidence they started the same night his new song dropped.”  A song, I might add, that won’t be making my iTunes playlist…I will, however, be downloading Maria’s version of Nyquil.  🙂

What song, you’re asking?  Of course you’re not asking that–everyone has heard that Kanye’s new single Theraflu references his love for Kim (by name!) and threatens to have Jay-Z kick Kris off the New Jersey Nets.  The source continues, “I’m convinced they are the ones who have been tipping off the paparazzi to take their photos everywhere they go so that they can get the publicity.  Someone who is calling the paparazzi can’t be as desperate about her divorce as she says she is.”

Kris Humphries isn’t the only Kris who has a “source” close to the story, though.  Surprisingly, however, both Kris insiders are in agreement!  Someone close to the Kardashian Kamp reveals, “It’s so calculated and of course, Kim’s mother, Kris, is all behind it.  Look at all the great PR they are getting. I must say they make a perfect couple. They both love the limelight and can’t get enough attention.”

“This is also a big f–k you to Kris Humphries. I kind of feel sorry for him because Kim is acting like [she] never ever shed a tear for him,” adds the insider.  “I don’t understand why the Kardashians think this is a good move for Kim. But believe me everything that family does calculated.”

Oddly enough, a day later, the same site is wondering if there could be something real about the pair’s scripted media joke romance.  Another source (they are lining up, clearly!) says the duo, who have been “friends” since 2004, are ready to “give dating a shot.”  Mind you, this same source claims that neither Kanye nor Kim have acted inappropriately during their past relationships.  Um, I think Amber Rose would beg to differ.

While the “couple” used to be extremely discreet about their affair, now they don’t seem to care who knows.  The insider reveals, “[N] ow, she’s coming by his apartment at all times of the day.  They don’t care who sees them anymore!”  As someone with eyes, I wish they would go back to their sneaky ways.  No one wants to see that!  {shudder}
