The basket-ball player’s major grouse is that his 31-year-old socialite wife Kim went ahead and filed for divorce on Oct 31, 2011 without taking his consent. Kim had announced that she was filing for divorce barely 72 days after their marriage.

Kris and Kim are cast together in this programme. Meanwhile Kris is believed to very concerned about the manner in which he may be portrayed on the programme.
Kris’ legal team led by lawyer Lee Hutton III is investigating his options, informs a source. Also according to Kris his role on ‘Kourtney & Kim Take New York’ is much larger than he has been informed and hence he wants more money, informs the same source, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

MOVIE PRODUCERS CRY OF MOVIE REJECTION BY CINEMA OPERATORS FOR SCREENINGS
This latest trend, many believed was the re-introduction of the cinema culture in Nigeria. The cinemas have now indirectly become the censor board of Nigeria.
For a film to be regarded as good, it must have gone through the cinemas and made good success. Films like Ije, Tango With Me, The return of Jenifa, The Mirror Boy and others have passed through this fire to become the gold they are today.
But with this development, many producers who have had their films not screened or shown at the cinemas have cried fowl that their films were rejected for no good reason.
There have been allegations by some Nigerian movie producers that the cinema operators frustrate them, while some believe that one must be highly connected to the who is who in the entertainment industry and those in the high places.
Some of those who made their minds known to NigeriaFilms.Com said that the cinema operators are just in the business only to make money out of the industry, but not to help contribute to its growth. They pointed out that the operators prefer to show foreign films at their cinemas to showing Nigerian movies.
This development they say would not help the production of good and quality cinema films, as the problem of piracy is still not yet tackled by the government.

Here's how the troubled Android models stack up:
1. Samsung Galaxy Mini
2. HTC Desire
3. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
4. Sanyo Zio

6. Samsung Epic 4G
7. LG Optimus S
8. Samsung Galaxy S
