CW orders more ‘Vampire Diaries’
Ahead of its upfront presentation to advertisers,
the CW announced early pickups for “The Vampire Diaries,” “90210” and
“Supernatural” – that’s right, the Winchester brothers aren’t going anywhere.
For those keeping tabs, that’ll put “The Vampire
Diaries” in its fourth season, cult favorite “Supernatural” in its eighth
season and “90210” in its fifth.
No word on the fate of freshman series “The
Secret Circle,” “Ringer,” “Hart of Dixie,” or veterans “Gossip Girl” and
“Nikita.”

Kim Kardashian wants divorce
Kim Kardashian’s attorney told a judge Friday
that the reality star wants her divorce from Kris Humphries to move forward but
that the case has been slowed by the NBA player’s hurt feelings and his desire
for an annulment.
Humphries’ attorneys said they needed more time
to gather information to decide whether to pursue allegations that the couple’s
72-day marriage was a fraud. Proving the allegations likely would require a
trial, which Kardashian’s attorney Laura Wasser said could prove costly to her
estranged husband.
The couple was married last summer in a lavish,
star-studded and televised ceremony, but Kardashian filed for divorce Oct. 31.
Humphries responded a month later asking for an annulment, claiming that the
couple’s nuptials were based on a fraud, but not laying out specific evidence.
“I feel that (Humphries’) personal feelings and
maybe some media drive is keeping this case alive,” Wasser said. She said the
couple is eligible for a divorce, since it has been more than six months since
Kardashian filed her petition.
“Certainly, they’ve been separated longer than
they’ve been married,” Wasser said.
She said if the case goes to trial and Kardashian
wins, she will ask that Humphries pay her hefty legal fees. Currently,
Kardashian wants each side to pay their own fees.
The comments came during a routine hearing Friday
in which a judge allowed Humphries’ Minnesota attorney, Lee Hutton, to take part
in the case.
Humphries’ Los Angeles-based attorney, Marshall
Waller, said they had to wait for the motion to be approved but that he expects
to seek key information and the depositions of essential witnesses in the next
few weeks.
Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told both
sides to return to court Aug. 15 for a status hearing.
Neither Kardashian nor Humphries attended
Friday’s proceedings.
Kardashian is the star of the E! Entertainment
Television series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which was E! Entertainment
Television’s top-rated show, averaging more than three million viewers in its
sixth season.
Humphries, a power forward who has played with
the New Jersey Nets, is an unrestricted free agent.
