(Photo) PETA To Kim Kardashian: Divorce Yourself From Fur

PETA wants Kim Kardashian to stop wearing fur and it’s putting that message on a huge billboard to get her attention. The billboard, to be placed in a popular area in West Hollywood, CA (at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Sweetzer Avenue) will go up in early December and will have this ad:

PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange says, “Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. We’ve explained it to her, and she’s watched a video exposé that was filmed inside fur farms.” Lange continues, “PETA hopes that the prominent billboard will finally be enough to convince Kim…to divorce herself from fur and say ‘I do’ to a more compassionate wardrobe.”

Kris Jenner Explains Kim Kardashian’s Trip To See Kris Humphries

Kris Jenner was at The Grove in Los Angeles for a chat with Maria Menounos of Extra about her new book. 
During the interview, the managerial matriarch was asked why daughter Kim Kardashian went to visit estranged husband Kris Humphries in Minnesota this week. 

“She really needed to talk to him,” Jenner responded.

“Kim is a hopeless romantic,” Jenner further explained. “So she wants the fairy tale. She wanted to get married and have babies and raise a family and the white picket fence and all that comes with that. She’s a really good person with a huge heart.

“Whatever decisions Kim is making right now, she’s a very smart girl and she’s gonna do the right thing. All I can do is wrap my arms around her and make sure she’s okay.”

Jenner continued, “They [need to] show their emotions. She needs to do what she’s doing now and cry and figure it out.”
Jenner added, “She’s just trying to follow her heart, and she’s going to be okay.”

Kim Kardashian: “I Married For Love”

Kim Kardashian is receiving a ton of backlash after she filed papers to end her 72-day marriage.

So, a few hours ago, the self-named ‘hopeless romantic’ took to her official website to write a lengthy explanation as to why she gave up on her marriage to Kris Humphries.

Here is the letter, in her own words:
“This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I see all of the support and I am so thankful for my fans, friends and family who are helping me through this difficult time.

I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it’s hard not to see all the negative ones. First and foremost, I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show! I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it’s who I am! We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khloe getting married, break ups, make ups, our best moments and our worst moments. These were all real moments. That’s what makes us who we are. We share, we give, we love and we are open!

Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people.

I’m being honest here and I hope you respect my courage because this isn’t easy to go through. But I do know that I have to follow my heart. I never had the intention of hurting anybody and I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me. It just didn’t turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for.
There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this. I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I’ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation.

I’m sorry if I have hurt anyone, but my dad always told me to follow my heart and I believe now that I really am.”

Khloe & Kourtney Kardashian Speak Out On Kim’s Divorce

The Kardashians are a close-knit family.  Sisters Kourtney and Khloe have released the following statements about the divorce of their sister Kim Kardashian from Kris Humphries:

Khloe: “I just want to thank all of our amazing fans for your unconditional love and support. My sister is going through a very difficult time and your kindness right now means the world to all of us. Kim, we love you more than anything.”

I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce… I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”

Hope it all works out for the best for both parties, whatever fate that may be for each.
