Kim and Kris end their summer bliss

C.J. MCT

Only 72 days after a ridiculous $10 million wedding, the Kris HumphriesKim Kardashian union looks like a Grimm Fairy Tale, indeed, with her filing for divorce Monday.

That’s $138,000 for each day, according to calculations by TMZ.com, which has been on top of the confirmed breakup story and had the divorce papers:

“We’re told even though the marriage was short, she is not seeking an annulment.

It’s a garden variety divorce in which Kim cites ‘irreconcilable differences.’ We’re told Kris was passionate about eventually settling down in Minnesota, where he’s from, and believed Kim was on board.

She wasn’t.” Anybody who caught episodes of E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” or “Kim’s Fairytale (Marriage): A Kardashian Event” could see Kim only had disdain for Minnesota.

“I definitely was raised in a different world than, like, Yee Haw Minnesota.” Kim famously remarked to Kris during the marriage event show.

There is no city with that name in Minnesota.

Kim’s dig was designed to say she considered his home state the sticks, although she affectionately called Min

neapolis “Minny” in some TV interviews.

When I left the office late Friday, my information was that the reality TV star and her NBA husband were working through their newlywed issues (plastered all over the web and gossip mags) that had both of them questioning what they did on Aug. 20.

I was told that Humphries’ Minnesota values had him determined to work through their differences.

He wanted to follow in the tradition of his parents, Debra and William Humphries, and work on staying together, as most mature, long-married people know — marriage is a marathon, not a sprint.

Of course, waiting at home for me was Friday night’s episode of TMZ featuring “Kris and Kim Kaput?” video of what was interpreted as a fight between the newlyweds.

Video of them leaving a Los Angeles restaurant together and getting into separate cars.

Before they parted for the night, Kris got into Kim’s car, endured a death stare from her and a tepid kiss. So they are fighting, I thought? There was so much to fight over!

Kim went off on a business trip to Dubai with her mom, leaving Kris, who was apparently not invited, even though he’s not doing anything right now with the NBA lockout.

She spends money like it’s going out of style; he knows there will be a rainy day.

She doesn’t like his dogs sleeping on her expensive duvet, even though she had multiple bedding linens and

a person who takes them to the cleaners.

Kim was for changing her name to Humphries — which delighted Kris no end — before she was against it for business reasons.

Big-time Minnesota mother-in-law problems were brewing, after some snide, elitist remarks Kim made a about items around Kris’ house that were reportedly gifts from his grandparents.

But apparently the biggest sticking point in the union was where they would live ... eventually.

He has homes in Minnesota, on the East Coast and in South Beach; she has a residence in Los Angeles.

But Kim cannot by dynamited out of her dysfunctional family, located in California.

The important thing is that Kim did everything possible to make the marriage work. Ha! Never the brightest light in the Halloween display.

Kardashian spent all her time planning a wedding (that probably didn’t cost her anything) and apparently no time discussing the logistics of the actual marriage.

Anyone paying any attention could tell this was never going to work, but I thought it was going to last more than 72 days.

Wale strives for Ambition

Joseph Chretien FOR THE WICHIT AN

Ambition has played a big roll in Wale Folarin’s career thus far. His ambition to stretch boundaries lead him to rap over popular dance tracks by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. and recruit members of the Seinfeld cast for his aptly titled “Mixtape About Nothing” which won him a “mixtape of the year” award in 2008.

On “Ambitious Girl” his ode to hardworking women Wale paraded his poetic skill and showed appreciation to the women whose strides are overlooked & otherwise down played in his genre. Now, after his critically acclaimed yet under-shipped debut album 2009’s “Attention Deficit” didn’t reach the commercial success he’d wished for, Wale takes a new direction with his sophomore album “Ambition.” The result is a collection of radio-ready songs in a less cohesive format, along with more tracks that command immediate response from his audience than those that will require listeners to sit and comb over lyrics in order to decipher.

Under the new management of the Rick Ross founded “Maybach Music Group” Wale’s ambitions seem to have changed.

No more Gucci Mane, or Lady Gaga features to tap into fan bases that otherwise are outside his core.

Instead he enlists G.O.O.D. music representative Big Sean and Kid Cudi, R&B crooners Miguel, Ne-Yo, Jeremih and Lloyd, along with his own label mates Rick Ross and Meek Mill.

One thing that does remain throughout is Folarin’s Go-Go dance influence thanks to Tone P. of Washington D.C.’s “Best Kept Secret” production team. Ironically and possibly purposely, Wale’s best moments are his most ambitious ones. On

songs like “Legendary,” “Ambition,” “No Days Off,” and “Focused,” Wale takes a break from the fly talk and exhibits his and more humbled rhymes.

“Legendary,” one of the album’s strongest tracks, moreover produced by the legendary DJ Toomp boasts hypnotic horns, go-go drums and some of Wale’s most potent lyrics.

Other standout tracks are the smooth and seductive single “Lotus Flower Bomb” and the boastful club bangers “Slight Work” featuring Big Sean, with extraordinary production by Diplo as well as “Chain Music” which incorporates a clever Rick Ross vocal sample.

Though Wale aspires to be the next trend setter in hip-hop overall “Ambition” suffers from a list of filler tracks.

Possibly what Wale should’ve learned from his label mate Rick Ross is that the omission of a few unnecessary tracks can be the difference between a fluent and a disoriented experience.

In the video trailer for “Ambition,” Wale asks his audience why he couldn’t aspire to create an album “better than [Jay-Z’s] Reasonable Doubt?” “Ambition” proves that he still has much to strive for before he can truly contend with Jay as a worldwide star, but does stand as an entertaining piece of work.

a&e Wednesday November 2, 2011 www.thewichitan.com 8 wichitan the November is going to be a hairy month

KRISTINA DAVIDSON COPY EDITOR

All around the nation, men (and some women) on college campuses are choosing a more natural approach when it comes to dealing with body hair.

“No-shave November” is a time when the razors are temporarily cast aside and the true beast of a man is revealed. The rules are simple: 1. Shave at the beginning of the month and post a picture.

2. Do not shave in November. 3.If you shave, you are out. 4.Take a picture at the end of the month to show off your setup.

Junior Leland Wetzel participates because he likes to test his manliness and let loose for a while.

“ I think its fun to see how crazy my beard will get.

I also like to cut my beard and just leave a mustache at the end,” Wetzel said.

Sophmore Joseph Garza lets his facial hair grow for the simple reason of staying warm in the winter.

“I want a permanent sweater for December to keep my face warm and toasty,” Garza said.

Sophmore Kole Weldon is a football player at MSU and has stopped shaving his legs and face this month to group up with the guys. He hopes it doesn’t slow him down but is willing to take the risk.

According to Senior Casey Burt, facial hair is the physical thing that separates a boy from a man.

“I participate in No-shave November to show what a man should look like outwardly. My beard will never leave my face,” Burt said.

As men see “No-shave November” as a way to proclaim their masculinity and show just how rugged they can be, women beg to differ.

Senior Lindsey Haygood finds facial hair unattractive and thinks not shaving doesn’t prove a point.

“If a guy is participating because he wants to raise awareness about something, great. If he is involved just to see if he is capable of growing a beard, I see it as kind of pathetic,” Haygood said.

Junior Malory Ammerman decided that she wasn’t going to shave her armpits for the entire month because her boyfriend was participating in “NoShave November” even though she was highly against a scruffy face.

Some men participate in this tradition to come together as a community and see who can grow the best beard, while others use it as a way to raise awareness about certain cancers affecting men worldwide, such as prostate cancer.

“No-shave November” originated in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 to try to

Kristina Davidson

raise funds and awareness for men’s health.

While women are constantly trying to fight breast cancer, men decided that the cancers affecting them needed attention as well.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is also letting it grow by having a competition and fundraising while participating in the event.

Men can enter the contest for $30 and at the end of the month, pictures will be sent in and the man with the best goods will be crowned.

With a new month rushing in, the grizzly in most guys is ready to be released to take over their formerly cleanshaven faces.

Whether they get involved to prove a point or just to have fun and be goofy with the guys, one thing is clear: Hair is going to be everywhere.

Stiller and Murphy shine in Tower Heist

A comedy about working class stiffs who stick it to the Wall Street type who stole their savings?

Talk about ripped from today’s headlines.

Talk about being in sync with the national mood.

Talk about Eddie Murphy, funny again after all these years.

“Tower Heist” is a winning “Robin Hood and his Merry Doormen” comedy about getting even.

A cast of comedy specialists deliver their comic specialties to perfection, delivering double-takes and one liners so well that you don’t notice how clunky the actual caper in this caper comedy is.

Ben Stiller is Josh, the ever-efficient building manager in “the priciest real estate in North America,” New York’s swank high-rise condo complex, The Tower.

It’s where the richest of the rich live. And Josh has drilled and drilled his staff on anticipating their every need.

“We’re all about discretion, here,” Josh lectures the new guy (Michael Pena).

No client has to open his or her own door, no cheating husband ever has to worry he won’t be warned the wife is coming home early.

Guys like fund manager Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) are kept in coddled comfort thanks to the labor of many.

Josh is the “fixer” who makes The Tower run like a well-oiled machine, and his employees adore him for it.

But the feds arrest Shaw for financial wrongdoing, and Josh has to admit to his staff that he invested their retirement money with the swindler.

As they take stock of working lives which they have nothing to show for, some think of suicide.

Josh, feeling guilty, thinks of revenge — stealing that money back.

This Brett Ratner comedy was cast with able role players.

Stiller does this good-at-his-job guy well.

Casey Affleck is spot-on as Josh’s lazy brother-inlaw who can’t lose his savings or his job right now. G a b o u r e y Sidibe (“Precious”) is hilariously on the make as a Jamaican maid who lost One thing that affects all college kids is stress, and stress levels are about to skyrocket. Final exams are drawing near - and that means students need to prepare and study ahead of time to avoid high stress. But unfortunately, most college students don’t begin studying until the last minute, which, in the case of final exams, is after Thanksgiving break. So the Oreo boxes are about to be opened and devoured, the gym will be put on the end of most lists, and the books are going to finally be opened - for possibly the first time this semester. Skin can take a huge toll when people don’t properly take care of themselves, so a good face wash is something that needs to be in every bathroom cabinet.

He’s lost his job, his home and his wife.

He’ll help with the heist. But if they’re after Shaw’s hidden millions, they need more than people who know the building and who know Wall Street.

They need a thief. They need Eddie Murphy, the Murphy of 1983’s “Trading Places” — manic, mouthy and menacing, a guy who can teach them how to pick a lock or lift a wallet.

The film’s funniest bits involve Stiller and Murphy remembering their preschool past: “Little seizure boy! Little seizure boy wants to rob somebody!” Tea Leoni stages a “Flirting With Disaster” reunion with Stiller as an FBI agent on the Shaw case who’s ready to flirt with Josh, especially after she’s had a few drinks.

The Midwestern State rugby clubwon its first cup match after a slow start due to numbers in an extraordinary comeback over UTSA at San Antonio.

MSU, who had 12 players compared to UTSA’s 15 on the field, had gaps in its defense. UTSA got on the scoreboard first after a 30-yard penalty kick, and then extended its lead with an unconverted try to put the score at 8-0.

The Mustangs fought back despite being outnumbered and came up with a try. Junior Winger Damian Atamenwan converted the extra two points after Freshman Simba Musarurwa had scored MSU’s first try.

The visitors were down four players after Senior Lock Tyler Schmidt got subbed out due to a blood injury. Nevertheless, MSU’s game plan was to keep it close and in control with its bigger forwards. UTSA scored two quick tries to lead 17-7 before MSU got on track with a second try by Musarurwa making the score 17-14.

MSU put in a try right before half after a brilliant 60-yard run by Atamenwan to keep the score close at half UTSA 27 to MSU 19.

At the start of the second half, MSU was finally at their full capacity as the three MSU players showed up. Having a full backline, MSU was able to penetrate UTSA defense at will. MSU was able to score five tries compared to UTSA’s three in the second half. Scores were made by Flanker Luis Banda, Musarurwa, Lock Matt Potysman and Center Zach Henson.

Potysman scored a remarkable try by driving through the Roadrunners defense to the endzone. He later pulled Henson to the goal line to extend the Mustangs points.

The match was not decided until the last play of the match with time expired as UTSA tried to fend off a MSU attack at the goal line. UTSA efforts failed as a backline move freed Atamenwan just enough to cross the goal line for a 46-43 cup match victory for MSU.

A lot of heart went into play by the 12 who had started the game against the 15 of UTSA. The Mustangs will battle Lamar University at the Stephen F. Austin Tournament in Nacogdoches on Nov. 12. DAMIAN ATAMENWAN SPORTS EDITOR

QB Brandon Kelsey made a 19-yard run to mark the first touchdown of the third quarter.

The Mustangs continued their dominant 2011 season in Blackwater Draw, New Mexico on Saturday afternoon.

Midwestern State advanced to 8-0 on the season and 7-0 in Lone Star Conference play, beating the Greyhounds of Eastern New Mexico, 57-34.

The Mustangs put up 492 yards of total offense, 339 coming on the ground. That’s eight straight games of over 250 yards of rushing for the Mustangs.

The rushing attack was lead by Lester Bush. Even though he only rushed for 37 yards on the day, three of his eight touches were for touchdowns.

Keidrick Jackson led in yardage for the Mustangs, putting up 128 yards on the ground and one touchdown. This was Jacksons third 100-yard game of the season.

Quarterback Brandon Kelsey rushed nine times for 89 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Jimmy Pipkin saw six touches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Peter Smith had six carries for 24 yards.

Altogether, the Mustangs rushed 40 times for six touchdowns and averaged 8.5 yards per carry on the day, and each running back had at least one run of over 13 yards. Even on a rush-heavy day, the Mustangs still found the end zone through the air.

Kelsey was 12-for-13, with no picks, for two touchdowns and 143 yards. Back-up quarterback Jake Glover’s one pass of the game was completed for ten yards.

Kelsey found Edgar Theliar in the end zone yet again this week. Theliar led the Mustangs with five catches for 57 yards and a touchdown.

MSU’s other receiving touchdown came on a 31-yard completion to Kelvin Swanson, his only catch of the day.

Sheldon Galloway caught three passes for 25 yards. David Little had two catches for 15 yards. In addition to his rushing performance, Jimmy Pipkin had a catch for 15 yards. Matt Tanner also had a catch of the day for ten yards.

Pat Gardner led the defense with nine tackles. Antwon Dixon had eight and Ty Duncan had seven. The Mustangs’ defense came up with six tackles for loss and a sack.

The offense went a perfect six for six in the Red Zone on Saturday, all for touchdowns. The Mustangs stayed perfect in the end zone on the season, going 43 for 43, 40 being touchdowns.

The Mustangs have already put up a total of 432 points in this record-breaking season. That’s an average of 54 points a game. They’re on pace to break another record, with several games left in the season. The record for MSU right now for points in a single season is 489, set in 2007.

The Mustangs started the scoring on their opening drive, that went for 69 yards and was capped off by a 5-yard touchdown rush by Bush.

Eastern New Mexico answered though, going 60 yards for a touchdown, but the extra point attempt failed, putting the Mustangs up 7-6.

The Mustangs responded with a five-minute, 79-yard drive that ended in a Edgar Theliar 8-yard touchdown pass from Kelsey, but the Greyhounds pounced back on a 1-yard run to make it 14-13. The back-and-forth would continue until, with eight minutes left in the half, it was 21-20 MSU. And it was all MSU until the fourth quarter.

The Mustangs scored twice more in the first half, with two more Bush runs, from a yard and two yards out, to put the Mustangs up 35-20 at the half, their third consecutive 35-point half. Kelsey kicked off the scoring in the second half with a 19 yard touchdown run to put the Mustangs up 42-20.

And with just under four minutes left in the third quarter, Swanson caught a 31-yard touchdown pass, and Bush ran in the two-point conversion to put the Mustangs up 50-20, entering the fourth quarter.

Five seconds in, Eastern New Mexico scored again, only to be answered a minute after by a 41- yard Pipkin run for a touchdown. The Greyhounds scored one more time before the day was done, and that’s how it ended.

With the win, the Mustangs jumped to their first 8-0 start in school history and to fifth in the rankings, their highest ranking in school history.

The Mustangs close out conference play in their last home game of the season Saturday at 2 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

UFC 137, Penn vs. Diaz was a complicated affair. It was originally set for Oct.15 at the Echo Arena Liverpool in Liverpool, England. Due to scheduling issues it was held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Oct. 29.

The main event was initially set to be a battle between Nick Diaz and Georges “Rush” StPierre for the Welterweight title. Diaz was pulled from the title fight due of his failure to show up for pre-fight news conferences. Carlos “Natural Born Killer” Condit, originally paired with BJ “The Prodigy” Penn, was given the opportunity to challenge St-Pierre for the title. Diaz vs. Penn was to be the co-main event.

St-Pierre however, had to drop off the card due to a knee injury, leaving Penn vs. Diaz the main attraction. The fight was highly entertaining. It was three five-minute rounds of none-stop action. Penn looked the better of the two with his counter punching and takedown of Diaz in the first round.

The second and third rounds however were dominated by Diaz. He attacked relentlessly with high level boxing combos, knees and kicks. At the end of the bout Penn’s face was smashed up and he appeared fatigued. Diaz won by unanimous decision putting him on an 11-fight winning streak.

During the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Diaz commended Penn for his toughness and called out StPierre.

“I don’t think Georges is hurt. I think he’s scared,” he said.

The fight between Diaz and St-Pierre is back on. Condit will be matched up with another opponent. Condit is on a four-fight winning streak, the last three via TKO. He is not too happy with the way things have unfolded.Penn announced his retirement during the postfight interview.

“This is the last time you’ll see me in here. I have a daughter and another on the way. I don’t want to go home looking like this,” he said.

BJ “The Prodigy” Penn is a legend in MMA. He was the first non-Brazilian to win the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship at the black-belt level. With an MMA record of 16 -8-2 he has held both Lightweight and Middleweight championship titles. His fans will miss seeing him in the octagon.

Mirko Filipovic, commonly known as Mirko Cro Cop, another legend in MMA history retired after the events of UFC 137. Roy “Big Country” Nelson beat him by TKO in 1:30 of the third round. Cro Cop is known for his devastating head kicks in former K-1 and Pride Fighting Championship fights. Immediately preceding the fights on pay-per-view were some on Spike TV. One of which was Tyson Griffin vs. Bart Palaszewski. Griffin

showed up three pounds overweight, which he was fined for. He was knocked out by Palaszewski in 2:45 of the first round.

There were four bouts that could be seen on facebook, right before the preliminary card on Spike. Brandon” The Truth” Vera vs. Eliot “ The Fire” Marshall was the last of these. It was also shown on Spike immediately before the main card. Vera won by unanimous decision after surviving a nasty armbar he got caught in 30 seconds before the third round ended. His arm appeared to have popped but he didn’t tap. He rode it out, throwing punches to the end. He suffered some damage to the ligaments in his arm.

UFC 137 presented an exciting night of fights. Retirements, arms almost getting ripped off, and a lot of controversy. MMA fans are ready to do it again Nov 5. At UFC 138, Leben vs. Munoz.

Mustangs treat Northeastern to a 3-0 defeat Trick or Three

Midfielder Dean Lovegrove doubled the Mustangs’ lead with a thunderous 30 yard strike Friday night at Northeastern State.

DAMIAN ATAMENWAN SPORTS EDITOR

The Midwestern State soccer team saw a remarkable conference victory with a comfortable shutout over the RiverHawks of Northeastern State University.

The hosts were unable to match their opponents in the opening minutes of the game and conceded an early goal from junior forward David Freeland.

Freeland was found in the box by forward Chris Dwyer and the latter sent a through pass that resulted in the eighthminute opener.

Dwyer had also assisted an early Freeland goal in an earlier fixture against the RiverHawks.

The Mustangs’ fondness of early goals was confirmed when midfielder Dean Lovegrove blasted a 14th minute shot to the amazement of NSU.

Freeland assisted Lovegrove, whose 30-yard screamer doubled the Mustangs’ lead and left NSU goalkeeper Jordan Ladbrooke speechless.

“Scoring early goals changed the game and opened our opponents up,” said Head Soccer Coach Doug Elder.

MSU kept creating chances and posing threats in the RiverHawks’ defense. Senior Casey Hibbs sent a left-footed attept but missed wide off the goal.

Freeland also tried to get on the scoreboard for the second time but was denied by Ladbrooke.

While the Mustangs’ offense was hungry for more goals, goalkeeper Michael Wood and the backline made sure NSU did not slot in any. The defenders kept the offside trap as usual and Wood stopped incoming shots.

MSU dominated the first half in terms of shots, possession, corner kicks and especially goals.

The second half went slow for both teams, particularly Northeastern, who had to cope with conceding the winning goal in the 84th minute.

“Northeastern exposed themselves for the third goal,” added Elder.

Zach Funk delightedly tucked in a rebound after midfielder Nathan Fitzgerald fired a shot that came off the crossbar.

“If we win Friday and Sunday, we’re in the playoffs,” Elder said. “We need to take care of business this weekend.”

Midwestern will take on Eastern New Mexico Friday at 7 p.m. and West Texas A&M Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Mustangs soccer field.

Mustangs lose to ACU, then beat ENMU in overtime

DAMIAN ATAMENWAN SPORTS EDITOR

The Midwestern State women’s soccer team experienced a tough loss against the No.2 Abilene Christian Friday night at the Mustangs soccer fields.

MSU kept the pressure on the Wildcats by creating multiple chances early in the first half but the hosts failed to convert the opportunities to goals.

Megan Barnhart’s shot was blocked in the second minute and freshman Payton Fookes was also denied in the tenth minute. The two footed freshman was consistent in the Mustangs attack as she supplied the forwards with great passes and crosses.

The Mustangs had their best opportunity of the period when Junior Maddie Fraser sent a corner kick for senior Kelsey Hill to head against the woodwork.

Sophomore Mickey Brown tried to give the Mustangs the lead with a 25th minute strike but was blocked by ACU Elliott London. Hill attempted another shot which London was quick to react and save.

On the other end of the field, goalkeeper Mallory Whitworth led the Mustangs defense. Whitworth saved successive ACU shots from Jacey Ferrara and Andrea Carpenter.

Both teams accounted for no goals as they headed into halftime.

Then in the 74th minute, Krysta Grimm opened the scoring for the Wildcats with her ninth goal of the season.

Hill placed a shot in attempt to notch in an equalizer but her effort was blocked. The Wildcats doubled their lead in the 82nd minute with the help of Megan Turner who had just got back on the field. Ashley Craig assisted Turner for her third goal of the season.

Fraser crossed another corner kick to the box and the 89th minute header went in this time. Freshman Callie Briseno scored her first goal of the season and gave MSU a little hope.

But a minute wasn’t enough for the Mustangs to make a comeback.

The Mustangs then went ahead to defeat Eastern New Mexico 1-0 Sunday Afternoon.

Fraser lobbed a superb pass to forward Lindsay Pritchard, who buried the overtime winner.

Midwestern will prepare for the Lone Star Conference tournament which starts Nov. 3 and ends Nov. 6.
