Geary’s

Kim Kardashian’s fiancee Kris Humphries is described by his own publicist as an “NBA star and philanthropist.” Our gossip colleague CJ at the Star Tribune assumed that indicated that their wedding might become a fund-raising charity event. Since the nuptials will be paid for along with a handsome profit, one might have hoped the well-to-do bride and groom would invite guests to donate to a chosen charity instead of wasting money on gaudy wedding gifts they don’t need. But according to CJ, “The lovebirds have already shown us who they are by needing a 20.5 carat diamond ring to convey their love.” Hence, the registration at Geary’s in Beverly Hills for $172,000 worth of “newlywed necessities” like $6000 vases or a $375.00 candy jar. (Sounds like Kris Jenner’s work to us.) In summation, Kris and Kim COULD have shown themselves in a flattering light and helped tornado victims or whatever – but they chose to stock up on Lalique ashtrays instead.
