Touchy feely Kim Kardashian holds hands with both her lawyer and a friend as pregnant star endures stressful day of divorce proceedings
She is going through a stressful time at the moment with divorce proceedings with her ex-husband Kris Humphries in full swing.
And it seems that Kim Kardashian is finding comfort in her female friends.
The 32-year-old, who is currently pregnant with her first child, was spotted holding hands with her divorce lawyer Laura Wasser as they headed into a meeting on Tuesday.
Friendly: Kim Kardashian and her lawyer Laura Wasser held hands as they made their way into a business meeting on Tuesday
Wearing a conservative navy blue pantsuit, the pregnant star clutched onto Wasser's hand as they made their way into an office building.
Smiling and chatting to one another as they strolled along, Kim and Wasser appeared to be getting along famously.
The pair's close relationship is a good sign as Kim is currently embarking on a bitter divorce battle with her NBA player-ex.
Close pals: Wearing a conservative navy blue pantsuit, the pregnant star clutched onto Wasser's hand as they made their way into an office building
Fashionistas: It appears that Kim and Wasser share more in common than just business matters as Wasser also appears to have a keen eye for fashion just like Kim
And it appears that Kim and Wasser share more in common than just business matters, as Wasser also appears to have a keen eye for fashion just like Kim.
The attractive power attorney looked ready for business as she strutted around in a figure-hugging bodycon dress and a pair of platform high heels.
Wasser is the go to legal eagle for many of Hollywood's well-heeled.
Her past celebrity clients have included Heidi Klum, Kim, Ryan Reynolds, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Kiefer Sutherland, Nick Lachey, Kelis, and Britney Spears.
Retail therapy: Later in the day Kim was also spotted walking hand in hand with a blonde female pal as she indulged in some retail therapy following her business meetings
Later in the day Kim was also spotted walking hand in hand with a blonde female pal as she indulged in some retail therapy following her business meetings.
As she shopped on trendy Robertson Boulevard, the Keeping Up With The Kardashian's favourite clutched onto her friend's hand as they crossed the road together.
Earlier the pair had enjoyed a meal together at the famous Nate n' Al's delicatessen.
Something for Kanye? Kim was particularly interested in a lace bralette she spied in the Curve boutique during her shopping spree
Sure you can afford that! The reality star was seen checking the price tag
Something bridal? Kim was also spotted trying on a bejewelled crown
Kim and Wasser were heading into a meeting after it was revealed that Kris Humphries thinks his divorce from Kim is being unnecessarily rushed because she is pregnant.
The basketball star's lawyer Marshall Waller has filed new documents accusing Kim, who is expecting her first child in June with boyfriend West, of trying to use the situation to speed up a settlement.
The attorney states Kris had nothing to do with her 'unplanned pregnancy' and it should have no impact on their litigation.
New documents: Kris Humphries lawyer has filed divorce papers accusing Kim, pictured on Tuesday of using her pregnancy to speed up divorce proceedings
According to gossip website TMZ.com, the documents say: 'What is really going on here is that an "urgency" in the form of an apparently unplanned pregnancy, something [Humphries] had nothing to do with, is perceived by [Kim] as an opportunity to gain a litigation advantage by trying to force this court to prematurely set this matter for trial.'
Kris' lawyer also allegedly took a further swipe at Kim, 32, by adding a footnote after the word 'pregnancy' that reads: 'Indeed, why would [Kim] plan to get pregnant in the midst of divorce proceedings?
The estranged couple's split has dragged on for more than a year, despite their marriage lasting a mere 72 days, because they continue to disagree about how to end their marriage.
Kris wants an annulment on grounds of fraud, while Kim, through her lawyer Laura Wasser, denies that she married him under false pretences and wants a divorce.
Radar Online reports that the documents also state Kris's desire for further delay in the trial because key witnesses have yet to be deposed and he has not received documents he says he needs.
Stylish: Kim was spotted leaving her home in Los Angeles on Wednesday in a fitted black dress
Moving on: Kim is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend Kanye West
The website reports that Kris wants raw footage of episodes of the Kardashian reality shows and records from Ryan Seacrest Productions, E! Entertainment Productions, and Bunim-Murray Productions but none have been turned over.
The documents state: 'Indeed, if as Ms. Wasser asserts there really is "no evidentiary support" to support Humphries claims, why don't they just give us the access we want? What are they hiding? What is there in the raw footage of this televised courtship, 72 day marriage and resultant breakup that they are so afraid of us discovering?'
While Ms Wasser wants to set a divorce trial for March, Kris would be unable to attend proceedings then due to his NBA basketball schedule and would not be available until 'May or June,' according to the court papers.

You can still book a summer break: Europe's nippiest trips
Save the beach for another trip: August is a great time to make an urban escape to the Continent. Simon Calder selects six cities that boast easy access to their delights
Simon Calder
Simon Calder's career in travel started at Gatwick Airport, where he cleaned aircraft for Laker Airways and later worked as a security officer. He became The Independent's Travel Correspondent in 1994, and is known as "the Man Who Pays His Way" because he does not accept free travel facilities. He writes across the Independent titles, as well as for the Evening Standard.
Wednesday 03 August 2011
What's the attraction?
Fine art, dramatic architecture, sophisticated shopping and energising nightlife: if that doesn't sound like your immediate surroundings, then you probably need a Continental city break. Thanks to excellent air and rail links to Europe, you can pack a vast amount into a short trip. And if you have yet to book a summer holiday, a city break could be the answer: many of the locals clear off to the beach, leaving the place calmer for you. All prices here were researched at 6pm yesterday and are per person based on two travelling, from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 August, unless otherwise stated.
On location
You can fly to dozens of cities within a couple of hours from your nearest major airport. But time is precious on a short break. A European airport with fast and frequent links to the city centre helps maximise enjoyment and minimise stress; conversely a slow, distant and awkward connection subtracts enjoyment. None of these recommendations is more than 20 minutes by public transport from the airport – which rules out otherwise alluring cities such as Budapest and Madrid.
Way to go
These days, anyone with broadband is likely to regard themselves as a travel agent, with easy access to plane or train tickets and hotel beds. You can happily put your own trip together, but bear in mind the downside of booking transport and a hotel separately. If the flight or train to your destination is cancelled by a strike, the hotelier has no obligation to give you a refund for the room you couldn't reach. In contrast, if you book a package – such as those suggested here – the tour operator is responsible for delivering your whole trip as booked, and must refund you if the airline fails to get you there.
All the cities here have been covered in the Independent Traveller's 48 Hours city-guide feature: you can download the text and the accompanying map for an instant free guide: www.independent.co.uk/48hours.
A word of warning: avoid Mondays. In many cities across Europe, it seems to be the internationally agreed day of rest for museum staff. As a result, any sights that are open are disproportionately busy, and less enjoyable. So if you are thinking of adding an extra day to your weekend, make it Friday, not Monday.
Access all areas
Amsterdam has air links from across the UK, plus easy access from Schiphol airport by train to Centraal Station in 16 minutes. You could reach the city centre within two hours of stepping aboard a plane in the UK, ready to experience a capital city designed for humanity. The joy of wandering beside the 17th-century canal network is only a start; the Van Gogh Museum provides the strongest artistic focus, at least until the long-overdue Rijksmuseum refurbishment is complete, while intriguing shops and cafés compete for your custom.
Reaching Amsterdam is easy; staying there can prove tricky, unless you book in advance, because of a chronic shortage of beds: many cheaper deals are for hotels well outside the city. Expedia (020-3027 8682; www.expedia.co.uk) has a deal from Manchester of £209 per person including easyJet flights and two nights (without breakfast) in the sophisticated Lloyd Hotel. It's east of the city centre, but a great venue in an interesting area.
Italian connection
Old airports are usually the best, as Milan Linate demonstrates: it's small and a quick ride away from the centre on bus 73 (buy your ticket in advance from the tobacconist at the airport). In no time you'll see the elegant bulk of the Duomo loom. The cathedral itself is well worth exploring, as is the adjacent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Milan's artistic highlight is the Pinacoteca di Brera, containing masterpieces by Caravaggio and Rembrandt, while Via della Spiga boasts Europe's highest designer concentration.
The problem with old airports is reaching them; the only Linate links from the UK are on Alitalia and BA from Heathrow, and from Gatwick on easyJet. BA Holidays (0870 243 4224; www.ba.com) is selling the third weekend in August, including flights from Heathrow to Linate and a stay at the four-star Grand Visconti Palace, with breakfast, for a flat £368 –about one-third less than the price in September.
Eastern promise
Regent Holidays (0845 277 3317; www.regentholidays.com) has long offered the most exotic European city breaks, from Kaliningrad to Tirana. This autumn, the most appealing is Tallinn – currently the joint European capital of culture. The city blends a medieval hilltop town and a grand 19th-century city with a right old Soviet muddle from the days when Estonia was the smallest republic in the USSR.
Prices fall from 1 October, when Regent offers a three-night stay at the handsome old Hotel Telegraaf, including Estonian Air from Gatwick (flights from Stansted, Liverpool and Manchester are also available) and breakfast for £494. The airport is only two miles from the centre.
Alpine adventure
Your mountain experience begins even before you land at Innsbruck's airport, with an exciting "Category C" touch-down in a narrow valley. You could easily walk into town from the airport, working up an appetite for predictably hearty Tyrolean fare to be enjoyed in one of many atmospheric old inns.
The Austrian city, at an Alpine crossroads, is steeped in Gothic and Renaissance architecture. It is not, however, so rich in air links from the UK; in summer only easyJet flies there, on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays. So either fix up a two-centre trip that combines Innsbruck with Munich, Salzburg or Verona (all of which have multiple flights from the UK, and easy train links from Innsbruck) or wait until winter when frequent ski flights begin.
At the family-run Hotel Zach (00 43 512 589 667; www.hotel-zach.at), a two-night stay in a double room costs from €220 in the last weekend of August, including breakfast; good deals for single rooms are also available.
Relax by rail
In under 90 minutes by train from central London, you could reach Birmingham, Eastbourne... or Lille, the capital of French Flanders, put on the map by Eurostar (08432 186 186; www.eurostar.com). The Channel Tunnel rail company has a deal including the train from St Pancras on 19 August and two nights at the Sejours & Affaires apart-hotel (on the north-east edge of the city centre) for £196, with breakfast. This will set you up for wandering through the intricate streets of Vieux Lille, enjoying the best art collection in provincial France at the Palais des Beaux-Arts museum and finding some urban wilderness at the Parc de Loisirs de la Citadelle.
Calling Germany
Outright winner for easiest plane-to-city centre link in Europe is Bremen – in the poor traveller's executive-jet experience, you step from plane to tram in a hop and a skip, and find yourself in the middle of this handsome Hanseatic municipality about 10 minutes later. Here, you can explore a German city whose architecture ranges from a huddle of medieval houses via majestic brick Gothic in the shape of the Rathaus (Town Hall) to an entire Art Nouveau street created by the man who first decaffeinated coffee.
The Kunsthalle (Fine Arts Museum) re-opens on 20 August, and on 13 August Bremen will be featured in 48 Hours in the Independent Traveller.
With the main airline from the UK being Ryanair (0871 246 0000; www.ryanair.com), this is another DIY destination; fly from Stansted or Edinburgh, and consider staying at the three-star Hotel Lictsinn (00 49 421 368 070; www.hotel-lichtsinn.de), an agreeable throwback to the Seventies with doubles for €110 including breakfast.
What Google will tell you...
The name of Amsterdam's airport, Schiphol, "is derived from a former fortification named Fort Schiphol, which was part of the Stelling van Amsterdam defence works. Before 1852, the Haarlemmermeer polder in which the airport lies was a large lake, in the shallow waters of which sudden violent storms could claim many ships. In English, Schiphol translates to 'Ship Grave', a reference to the number of ships lost in the area" – Wikipedia
What Google won't tell you... until now
The deadline for check-in for standard-class passengers on Eurostar is 30 minutes, but staff are flexible and will usually allow you through as little as 15 minutes before departure.

George Clooney Hopes For Peace In Darfur
If you follow New York Times columnist Nicolas Kristof on Twitter, you know George Clooney is currently visiting Darfur. Kristof shared with the Internet that he and George are currently not showering while they visit the war-torn region.
Tonight on NBC Nightly News, George shared his hopes for the region with Ann Curry. George said that he doesn't see much change in Sudan since he last visited three years ago.
In the years that have passed since that visit, the International Criminal Court's prosecutor requested a warrant for the arrest of Umar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan, alleging genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Still Bashir remains in power and the genocide continues. George hopes that a little celebrity-induced attention will raise international awareness.

September Vogue Special Package Turns Out to be a Magazine Handbag
Vogue Special Delivery
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Ding-dong, Vogue special delivery. Say what?! It's not every day one gets an urgent marked box from the fashion bible. Open, and find the hefty September issue encapsulated within a clear sleeve attached to handles. If you can manage to ignore the bewildering Keira Knightley on the cover, it's quite a cool gimmick. Since you probably can't fit all 798 pages in your handbag, no worries, just carry as-is. It's even protected from the elements — you know, PETA advocates and thunderstorms — with the vinyl overlay. In a dark time when fashion magazines are struggling to stay afloat, such shenanigans are sure to impress.

Wow! Brilliant! Make vogue more stylish! Haha!! If it's real, maybe they should consider adopt this handbag case for every issue! Smart marketing! Love it~

i wish i were on the list of the 'special' folks cause when i got mine - it was HUGE as expected - but just polybagged like normal. oh well. i guess that's what i get for not being fabsugar...huh? :) i love keira though - so even for those of you who didn't care for the cover shot - i still adore her and it makes me happy to see her on the biggest fashion issue of the year.

Hollywood Lunatics and Other Stories
It's a holiday and some might say we should be charitable to the unfortunate. By unfortunate usually they mean those that don't have as much as you and I. But one might construe "unfortunate" to mean being gut wrenchingly stupid, too. And when one thinks of the gut wrenchingly stupid one often thinks of the denizens of Hollywood above all others. Still it is awfully hard to be charitable toward such stupidity, I have to admit.
Today I have two members of the gut wrenchingly stupid Hollywood set to report upon. It might have been three but the terminal lunacy of Charlie Sheen just goes without saying.
This week Americans stood ready to wish each other a Happy Thanksgiving, to be sure. Well, everyone was but the vapid Angelina Jolie, that is. To her this holiday isn't a day to thank God for our fortunate bounty and to reflect upon the fortuitous founding of this nation, it's little else but "happy murder the natives day" and she refuses to take part.
Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans," a friend of the actress tells me. "To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style. She definitely doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder.
I suppose we can be charitable and ignore this ninny's kitschy musings based on her woefully incoherent view of American history. Unfortunately, it is just the sort of vapidity that is de rigueur for the empty headed Hollyweird set. As they puff themselves up imagining they care more than you about "the little people," they indulge a corresponding hatred of our country all too often.
But Jolie's absurd notion pales in comparison to the outright lunacy of "comedienne" Whoopi Goldberg (real name: Caryn Elaine Johnson). Whoopi thinks that the world does not have a Muslim problem, thinks "white men" are terrorists, and thinks that Muslims in the USA are persecuted more than Jews. Oh, there's more. Goldberg also thinks that the Japanese didn't attack Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Those are truly gut wrenchingly stupid notions.
In a segment on the Bill O'Reilly show, Goldberg unleashed this risible steam of inanity on his poor viewers and proved that Jolie has nothing on the venerable, award-winning comedienne in the department of the absurd.
As she debated O'Reilly… well, the word "debated" is also bestowing a charitable air to the appearance… Goldberg burdened the viewers with the following deeply thought out truths:
O'Reilly: Do you have a problem in history when you were taught about World War II that Japanese attacked us? Do you have a problem with that?
Goldberg: I have a problem with that. The Japanese Army attacked us.
The foolishness of the assumption behind Goldberg's "point" is laughable. In her view the Japanese didn't attack us. Just their army did (and O'Reilly corrected her that it was the air force, not the army). So, I guess when any nation's armed forces are engaged in battle, no one sent them into battle? No people stands behind its own military?
Unfortunately for the viewers, she went on.
Goldberg: Right now, everybody can say the Muslims are the terrorists. Two years ago, it was the white people that were the terrorists.
O'Reilly: What white people?
Goldberg: Oh, wasn't it white people that blew up Oklahoma City?
O'Reilly: Yes, two of them. Two of them.
Wow. So to Goldberg, two white guys that bombed the federal building in Oklahoma means that all white people are terrorists, yet that 19 Saudi Muslims perpetrated 9/11, that does not mean that all Muslims are terrorists? Her logic escapes me.
The truth is that neither all white people are terrorists because of the actions in Oklahoma of two of them nor are all Muslims terrorists because 19 of them perpetrated 9/11. But the fact is, in today's reality most terrorists are Muslims so Goldberg's whole underlying premise is idiotic all the way around.
One more.
O'Reilly: New study today, Jews in America are far more likely to be persecuted than Muslims, just came out today.
Goldberg: You know what? I'm sure that someone believes that, but I believe that in neighborhoods where they don't want Muslims, they beat up kids.
You're "sure that someone believes that," Whoopi? Yeah, that someone would be the FBI whose latest hate crime statistics prove that in all of 2009 only 107 "hate crimes" against Muslims were reported all across the country. On the other hand, that same FBI release noted that 931 hate crimes against Jews were reported.
If hatred against Muslims was so wide spread in the U.S. as Goldberg imagines, why is there no corresponding rise in hate crimes against Muslims? And the 2009 report isn't an outlier year, either. In 2008 (see table 1) we find an equally whopping 105 anti-Muslim hate crimes reported.
There is no way to escape the conclusion that there really isn't much anti-Islamic hate crime in the U.S. even after 9/11. Despite the fevered imagination of one Whoopi Goldberg, there is many times more anti-Jewish hate crime happening in the U.S. than anti-Muslim hate crime.
Once again she proves herself uninformed, full of wild-eyed notions, and wholly devoted to devaluing America in favor of every other nation/ideology.
(See a full transcript of Goldberg's appearance at Newsbusters)
Sadly, these two geniuses are representative of the skewed, half informed, nonsense that passes for deep thought in Hollywood these days. It's hard to excuse such foolishness even on a holiday.

Description: A quote from Bertolt Brecht ends this bitter and angry war film by Sam Peckinpah: Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again. Peckinpah's intense and belligerently non-commercial work, (based on the book by Willi Heinrich), is a World War II tale told from the German perspective, following a platoon of German soldiers in the Russia of 1943, when the German Wehrmacht forces had been decimated and the Germans were retreating along the Russian front. James Coburn is Steiner, a German corporal and recipient of the Iron Cross who feels that he owes his loyalty to his family and fellow soldiers and not to Hitler and the German war machine. But when a new commander, Captain Stransky (Maximillian Schell), takes over the platoon, Steiner and Stransky come into immediate conflict. Stransky is a career soldier, the complete opposite of Steiner, and a man who pledges himself heart and soul to Hitler and the war. But he envies Steiner for having been awarded an Iron Cross and deeply desires one himself. The problem is Stransky is a complete coward and recognizes that the only way he can be awarded an Iron Cross would be to get the bitter Steiner on his side.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Key Rona shareholder, Invesco Canada, wants to replace board
Proposal comes after CEO steps down, shareholder meeting to vote on removing directors called.
Comments | ? |
Report an Error |
Share via Email
Shares of Rona Inc. slipped in early trading Thursday on investor uncertainty about the outcome of a battle for control of Canada's leading home improvement retailer.
One of the Rona's largest shareholders, Invesco Canada Ltd., announced Wednesday it plans to request a meeting at which investors would vote on removing the current board of directors.
Rona responded later in the day that it would hold its annual general meeting on May 14, 2013, even though it had not received a formal request from Invesco.
"We wanted to make clear that if any investor wants to propose a candidate for the board, it has to be done before we distribute our notice in March," said Rona spokesperson Michelle Laberge.
Invesco issued the challenge after long-time Rona chief executive officer Robert Dutton unexpectedly left the company on Friday.
Dutton's sudden departure followed another quarter of poor financial results and growing investor disappointment at the current board's decision to reject a $1.8 billion offer from rival Lowe's Cos. Inc.
The Quebec-based home improvement retailer is in a pitched battle for market share with deep pocketed U.S.-based rivals Home Depot and Lowe's as the Canadian economy slows and competition increases.
But the fight to control Rona's future threatens to pit some of the country's largest investment funds against its biggest Quebec-based shareholder and the retailer's independent dealers and raises some tricky political issues.
With just over 10 per cent of Rona's shares, Invesco, whose funds include Trimark, is the retailer's second largest shareholder. Several other smaller shareholders said this week they support Invesco's demand.
But the biggest shareholder, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, which owns 15 per cent of Rona, has said only that the retailer needs to improve its performance.
It has not said what action it would support.
The Caisse had increased its stakes in Rona by 2 per cent to just over 14 per cent after Rona revealed it had a takeover proposal from Lowe's worth $14.50 a share. The shares were trading yesterday just above $11.
Concerning Dutton's departure, "we recognize his work and enormous contribution to Rona over the last 35 years. It would not be the key player it has become without Mr. Dutton's contribution," Caisse spokesperson Maxime Chagnon said Thursday.
"Still, we fully respect the decision and following that decision we believe Rona must focus on the future and focus all its energies on improving its performance," Chagnon said.
Rona says it had already begun a process of identifying new board members after some investors complained at last year's annual meeting that too few board members are from outside Quebec.
Only one of its 11 current directors is from outside Quebec. The company was founded in Quebec and still does 45 per cent of its business there
Rona also said it had earlier agreed to Invesco's request for a meeting with board chairman Robert Paré. But Invesco later withdrew the request and instead issued a press release calling for a new board.
By law, any investor with at least 10 per cent of a company's shares can request a shareholder meeting, Rona said. The company would have till the end of June to hold the event, Laberge said.
Quebec politics could also play an unpredictable role in the company's future. The Parti Quebecois came out against the takeover during the summer provincial election, which the PQ won. Lowe's subsequently withdrew its proposal.
Rona's shares later fell below $10.
Rona's independent dealers, who own about 12 per cent of the stock, have also raised concerns about what a change of ownership would mean to them.
Lowe's business model is based on operating its own warehouse-style stores, whereas Rona also services hundreds of independent dealers.
During his two decades at Rona's helm, Dutton turned the former Quebec co-operative into Canada's largest network of home improvement retailers. A one-time stock market darling, Rona began opening its own warehouse-sized stores to serve the booming home improvement market.
However, he'd also presided over five years of declining profits as Canada's housing market began to cool and Lowe's entered the country, bringing its U.S.-based marketing savvy backed by deep pockets.
