TODAY'S KARDASHIAN KAOS: After enduring one day of interviews about her split from KRIS HUMPHRIES, KIM KARDASHIAN high-tailed it out of Australia yesterday. She was scheduled to make an appearance Saturday at a horse racing event, which would have paid her $153,000 for one hour, but decided to return home to Los Angeles instead.


In other Kris/Kim news…

1. Radar Online reports the estranged couple may not be that estranged after all. According to a friend of the Kardashian family, "Kim and Kris have spoken on the telephone, and are frequently exchanging text messages on their BlackBerrys. Kim is absolutely numb and was truly surprised and shocked at the backlash she has gotten since she decided to file for divorce."

2. As "truly surprised and shocked" as Kim may be, the Kardashian family friend says there's pretty much no chance of a reconciliation. "Kim clearly sees that they are just two completely different people, that never should have gotten married."

"Even though Kris said earlier in the week he would do whatever it would take to save his marriage, he is now accepting that the relationship is over." As if on cue, Kris was spotted in his hometown in Minnesota yesterday without his wedding ring ...


Interestingly, it looks very much like the photo of Kris WITH a ring published Tuesday. Either it's been Photo shopped or Kris needs to buy more workout clothes ...

3. TMZ says things started to fall apart between Kim and Kris while they were negotiating their prenup. Insiders say that over the summer, the couple had various meetings with lawyers, and were constantly complaining about how they were being treated by each other. Word is the main sticking point in negotiations was how much of a cut Kris would get from their wedding payday.

KRIS JENNER vs. NATIVE AMERICANS - WHO YOU GOT???: Kim's mom, KRIS JENNER is in some hot water this morning after calling Kris Humphries "an Indian giver" on 'Good Morning America' for asking that her daughter return the $2 million engagement ring he gave her.

LISTEN

That phrasing earned her a scolding from a Native American rights group, which issued a statement saying, "The phrase 'Indian giving' is wrong and hurtful. The cultural values of Native Americans are based on giving unconditionally and empowering those around them."

MICHAEL JACKSON MADNESS - CLOSING ARGUMENTS SET IN CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL: Lawyers delivered their closing arguments in the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who's being accused of causing the death of Michael Jackson two years ago. The jury will begin deliberating this (Friday) morning.


Prosecutors argued: Murray repeatedly lied to paramedics and doctors about administering Propofol, showing a "consciousness of guilt", Propofol should never be used outside a hospital setting and that alone is gross criminal negligence, that it took Murray 20 minutes to call 911, Murray spent a lot of time picking stuff off the floor and putting it in a trash bag while paramedics worked on Jackson, Murray kept almost no medical records.

LISTEN to portion of closing arguments

Murray's defense attorney countered by saying: Yes, the doctor made mistakes, but none rose to the level of a crime, star prosecution witness Alberto Alvarez contradicted himself several times, if it was anybody else but Michael Jackson, there wouldn't be a trial, they're trying to convict Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson.
