The daily gossip: Kim Kardashian blames Kris Humphries for dragging out divorce, and more

1. Kim Kardashian blames Kris Humphries for dragging out divorce

As you've probably been unable to avoid learning over the past few weeks, Kim Kardashian is pregnant with Kanye West's baby. But according to TMZ, there's a chance she might still be married to NBA player Kris Humphries when the baby is born in June. Kardashian is reportedly furious with Humphries for dragging out the divorce proceedings, which have now lasted more than a year longer than their 72-day marriage.

4. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part II earns 11 Razzie nominations

Just a day before the Oscar nominations are scheduled to be announced, the final installment in the critically-derided, tween-adored Twilight franchise earned an impressive 11 nods at the Razzies, which annually honor the year's worst in film.

5. Mark Wahlberg does weather and traffic on local Philadelphia news station

Perhaps indicating the kind of desperation that can only come from agreeing to star in Transformers 4, Mark Wahlberg showed up on Philadelphia's WTXF to do the weather and traffic. USA Today reports that Wahlberg started off well, but quickly began ad-libbing his own nuggets of wisdom, including "Expect delays here […] stop and get yourself a hoagie" — which is, in Wahlberg's defense, always good advice.
