Important cinema verité artist and State Farm Posterior Policy rep Kim Kardashian is still deflecting jeers about her brief marriage to a large piece of driftwood Nets player Kris Humphries, and now Kanye West's ex-girlfriend has alleged that Kardashian was responsible for their breakup. But buried in the Huffington Post's copy in the article about Amber Rose is a tantalizing typo: "She also accuses Kim of cheating on her then-boyfriend, Reggie Watts, by sending Kanye a litany of salacious messages and photos." Kim Kardashian was dating Brooklyn's own Reggie Watts? "According to this article I was dating Kim Kardashian!?" Watts tweeted. Oh, don't be so modest. And plenty of people forget things happened—even when they're on film!
Presumably the author meant to refer to Reggie Bush, Kardashian's football-playing ex-boyfriend, and the article has since been amended. But let's briefly toast Kim's new laudable taste in men: intelligent, funny, and pleasantly hirsute.
