Kim Kardashian I'm NOT a Fraud I Really Loved Him
Kim Kardashian is telling close friends today ... she NEVER defrauded Kris Humphries into marrying her.
Sources very close to Kim tell us ... Kim loved Kris and the marriage was legit, but just fell apart in short order.
As for Kris filing for an annulment on grounds Kim defrauded him, she says the two of them actually discussed annulling the marriage before she filed for divorce, but they were advised there were no legitimate grounds for an annulment. Under California law, someone can annul a marriage if there's proof of impotency, incest, bigamy, unsound mind, force or fraud.
In fact, Kim is saying she wanted an annulment and filed for divorce only after being told it was her only legal option.

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ ... some of the staffers are now threatening to quit, because they can't handle Anna's insane behavior.

Jerry Sandusky New Accuser in Sex Scandal Reveals Horrifying Allegations
More disturbing allegations in the Jerry Sandusky scandal -- now, a 30-year-old man has filed a lawsuit against the former Penn St. coach for sexually abusing him more than 100 times when he was a kid.
The accuser -- who is only being identified as 'John Doe' -- is NOT one of the 8 victims listed in the grand jury report that rocked Penn State -- but his story seems to fall in line with the rest of the allegations.
According to John Doe's lawyers, the alleged victim claims he met Sandusky through the Second Mile charity when he was 10-years-old ... and was abused by the coach more than 100 times between 1992 and 1996.
Doe claims the abuse occurred in multiple locations -- including the Penn State locker room, the Sandusky home, and also during a road trip to a bowl game.
8:30 AM PST -- The accuser has released a statement about the suit ... saying, "I don’t want other kids to be hurt and abused by Jerry Sandusky or anybody like Penn State to allow people like him to do it—rape kids!"
He adds, "I never told anybody what he did to me over 100 times at all kinds of places until the newspapers reported that he had abused other kids and the people at Penn State and Second Mile didn’t do the things they should have to protect me and the other kids."
John Doe says he hopes his lawsuit will encourage other victims to come forward and "get help and help protect others in the future."

Ex-WWE Champ JBL Someone Jacked My Scooter ... From a Police Station!!!
You can't count on cops in Bermuda -- at least if you're wrestling legend JBL, who just got his motorized scooter stolen in the British overseas territory ... from right in front of a police station.
The longest reigning WWE champion in history -- who lives on the subtropical island -- tells TMZ, he left the scooter parked in the police lot at the Bermuda airport, but when he returned to scoot back home ... the bike was nowhere to be seen.
Cops are on the case -- but sadly, we're told the scooter is probably already long gone ... stripped down for parts.
TMZ spoke to the champ about the unfortunate incident, and he had only this to say ... "You can't steal a wrestling god's scooter, don't you know?"
Clearly, Mr. Bermudian Scooter Jacker didn't get the memo.

Kobe Bryant [video] Secret NBA Training ... WITH THE JEWS!
Hanukkah came early for a bunch of Jews in Irvine, CA tonight -- when Kobe Bryant rolled up to the local Jewish Community Center and asked if he could borrow the basketball court for a hardcore private training session ... TMZ has learned.
Yentas at the JCC tell us ... the honchos at the center were more than happy to let Kobe use the facility -- and the Black Mamba couldn't have been nicer.
Kobe and a trainer proceeded to work on shooting drills and cardio training while a gang of the chosen people looked on in amazement.
We're told the training session went on for more than an hour -- and Kobe looked as sharp as ever.

OLD GUY FIGHT!!! Two 73-Year-Olds BRAWL at Canadian Football League Event
The wrinkled, arthritic fists were flying at an event for the Canadian Football League this weekend -- when two 73-year-old former players ATTACKED each other ... and it was all caught on tape.
Long story short -- former NFL quarterback Joe Kapp (who also played in the CFL) came face to face with former CFL enemy Angelo Mosca during a luncheon for the Grey Cup (the Canadian version of the Super Bowl).
Kapp shoved a flower in Angelo's face ... Angelo swung his cane ... and then Kapp fired off a NASTY right cross. Boom. Old man goes down.
According to reports, these two have hated each other since 1963 ... when Mosca threw a cheap shot at one of Kapp's teammates.
Revenge is a dish best served cold .... really cold ... with a side of prunes.

Jason Taylor Investment Broker Ran Off With $275,000 of My Money!
Jason Taylor has made a living out of chasing down quarterbacks -- now the NFL star is trying to chase down the man he says bilked him out of more than a quarter of a million dollars!
According to a lawsuit filed back in August, Taylor claims he gave $500,000 to a man named Eric Kim, who told Taylor he was an experienced securities investor. Taylor alleges Kim promised to invest the money on Taylor's behalf, and would do so without charging any fees ... except for 10% of whatever profits he made.
But alas ... Taylor says from August 2009 until March 2011, Kim "misappropriated" $275,269.10 of the money Taylor gave him. According to Taylor, Kim wrote 37 checks from the account he set up with Taylor's money ... 32 of which were either made out to Kim himself or to his good friend "cash."
Taylor is suing for fraud, among other things, and is looking for his money back, plus costs.
Kim's lawyer denies all of Taylor's claims, and tells TMZ, "Jason's lawsuit is another example of a celebrity who is unable to handle his money and a friend who attempts to assist him at his request, who now gets blamed for poor results ... We look forward to all of the facts of this matter coming out in the courts or an arbitration tribunal."

T.O. I Tweet to Pay My Bills!
T.O. filed legal docs in one of his child support cases, claiming he doesn't have nearly enough jack to pay his baby mama's attorney's fees, but in making his argument he revealed he's making a bloody fortune by tweeting.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Mr. O says he makes between $2,800 - $6,400 per tweet. In one instance, he pulled in $2,800 to tweet for Cutters -- a football glove company. He raked in $4,800 for tweeting on behalf of Old Navy. And he got $6,400 for tweeting about Fantapper -- a sports social networking site.
T.O. also discloses he's earned residual money for an episode of "Punk'd" and for his appearances on "Any Given Sunday" and "Necessary Roughness."
And get this ... T.O. scored $10 grand for promoting Yahoo Fantasy Football and $20 grand for promoting a Super Bowl party.
So why is T.O. trying to get out from under paying his baby mama's attorney's fees? It's because he spends like a mutha. His average monthly expenses are $82,178.30, plus $44,602 in child support.
T.O. says he has no new sources of income and is basically broke.
