Their marriage was a 72-day wonder. But for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, the saga that is their drawn-out divorce doesn't appear to be ending any time soon.

NBA player Humphries has now filed legal documents disputing Kardashian's request to set an immediate trial date to get their divorce finalised.

Scandal sheet TMZ reports that Humphries' legal eagle, Marshall Waller, has filed docs questioning the "urgency" for a quick divorce, and accusing the E! star, who is expecting her first child in July with boyfriend Kanye West, of trying to use her "apparently unplanned pregnancy" to gain advantage and speed up the process.

“Buckwild” Star Salwa Amin Hiding In Shed During Drug Raid

Published in: Salwa Amin

This MTV reality star will soon be moving over to VH1. I’m sure Dr. Drew has already reached out to Salwa Amin. Caught hiding in a shed with a purse full of pills is right up his alley.

The “Buckwild” star who was busted in a drug raid was cowering in a shed when the you-know-what hit the fan, and cops allegedly hauled in a bunch of drugs and money … TMZ has learned.

The Police Chief in Summersville, West Virginia tells us officers arrested Salwa Amin and 2 other men after an extensive day of surveillance.  According to the chief, his drug task force got a tip that a “shipment” would be delivered to the home in Nicholas County sometime on Sunday. 

The chief says they observed a lot of foot traffic coming in and out of the house — and says the people were only staying for very brief periods of time … so they immediately obtained a search warrant, and then launched the raid.

Salwa, Shawn L. Booker and Jason D. Jones — who owns the home — were found hiding in a shed in the backyard, according to the chief.

We’re told Salwa had a “quantity of Oxycodone” in her purse — and Booker had a “large amount of money” on him.

Video: Taylor Swift Disses Harry Styles At The Grammy’s

You knew it was coming Harry.

You CANNOT …no matter what you do….break-up with Taylor Swift and not get publicly flamed.

Okay, so everyone knows that Taylor Swift has no problem calling out ex-boyfriends in her songs. The superstar made one of her most pointed barbs in history Sunday night at the 55th annual Grammy Awards, however, when she took what appeared to be an unmistakable shot at One Direction’s Harry Styles during her opening number.

Swift used the spoken bridge of her hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” to seemingly slam her recent ex Styles, abruptly switching into an exaggerated English accent (Styles is British). “So he calls me up and he’s like ‘Ah still louve you,’” she drawled. “And I’m like ‘I’m sorry, I’m busy opening up the Grammys…and we are never getting back together!’” Bam.

House Urges FG To Repair Niger Bridge

  The House of Representatives, Tuesday, urged the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, begin the reinforcement, repairs and rehabilitation of River Niger Bridge.

The advice was given following the adoption of a motion moved by Hon. Ezenwa Francis Onyewuchi on the threat of collapse of the Niger Bridge.

Leading debate on the motion, Onyewuchi noted that the River Niger bridge, which links the South-east, South-south, South-west and some Northern states, is on the verge of collapse due to its age, overuse and lack of maintenance.

The lawmaker noted that there is evidence of corrosion and cracks to the structural members of the bridge which have been stretched beyond capacity.

"At present,the bridge can no longer bear the constant weight of stationery vehicles, trailer or any other heavy duty truck accessing it, as heavy cranky noise and vibration is experienced when they do so," he said.

He expressed worry that the "eventual collapse of the River Niger Bridge will lead to the death of many Nigerians and motorists," saying " lots of properties will be lost in the mayhem and sections of the country will be cut off."

He said the collapse of the bridge will also cause "dislocation and disruption in commercial activities."

The lawmaker therefore prayed the executive to keep the promise of past and present administrations to build a second Niger Bridge by awarding the contract to a competent company.

The House also asked the Federal Government to ensure that the services of a competent contractor is employed for the construction of a second Niger Bridge.

Mr. McMahon's hip replacement surgery a success after attack by Brock Lesnar

On Monday, Feb. 4, Mr. McMahon underwent successful hip replacement surgery after suffering a broken left hip as the result of Brock Lesnar's surprise attack at the conclusion of the Jan. 28 edition of Raw. (SURGERY PHOTOS - WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES)

Mr. McMahon is currently recovering at home. Members of the McMahon family refused to comment, but speculation from Mr. McMahon's medical team indicates things bode well for his recovery time.

After revealing some damning evidence that exhibited Paul Heyman's connection to both Brad Maddox and The Shield, the WWE Chairman had made up his mind to fire Heyman in front of the entire WWE Universe on Jan. 28. But just as Mr. McMahon was about to send Heyman packing with two notorious words, Brock's music reverberated throughout the arena and the hulking behemoth laid out Mr. McMahon with a crushing F-5, which inflicted serious injury on the WWE Chairman. (VIDEO | PHOTOS)

It remains to be seen why Brock has returned to WWE after a five-month absence to target Mr. McMahon or what role, if any, Heyman had in such a vicious assault.

Stay with WWE.com for further updates on Mr. McMahon's condition following his Feb. 4 surgery.
