Kim Kardashian’s 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries came just in time for November sweeps, as a handful of entertainment news shows have seen a major surge in ratings.
Extra hit a new season high rating of 1.8, which was up 20 percent from the previous week, according to THR. Entertainment Tonight saw a 3 percent increase to a 3.9 rating (this matched its highest numbers for the season to date), while Inside Edition and Access Hollywood went up 7 and 11 percent, respectively.
Kim may be bummed about her failed marriage, but at least she's still relevant!

After Angelica Marie Cecora filed a lawsuit against Oscar de la Hoya last week claiming he imprisoned her during "a kinky night of sex and drugs," the boxing legend has fired back. De la Hoya’s attorney Judd Burstein called Cecora “a prostitute and a grifter” and asked a judge to dismiss the complaint.
Cecora accused de la Hoya of emotional distress, false imprisonment, assault and battery after the two hooked up last March, and Burstein's court papers state, "This case is a disgrace. Reduced to its essentials it alleges that [de la Hoya] engaged in [wrongful] conduct because, after he and [Cecora] had engaged in consensual sexual intercourse, he unsuccessfully sought to convince her a few hours later to have sex with him again.” The motion asks for sanctions against Cecora’s lawyers for filing the suit, claiming that she “voluntarily engaged in unusual sexual activities” with de la Hoya.
“The allegations pre-date Oscar going to rehab,” Burstein told the NY Post. “He has turned his life around in part by publicly taking responsibility for what actually happened in his past. But the idea that he engaged in anything non-consensual is absolutely false. It is not surprising that she will prostitute the truth in order to try to make a quick buck. She just chose the wrong victim because Oscar is not going to allow his past to become a golden ticket for anyone who wants to make up a story.”
So what does Cecora have to say about this? Her lawyer, Tony Evans, told the Post, “To call [my client] a prostitute and a grifter is the saddest and lowest maneuver possible ... We knew a powerful man would attack her character. We didn’t attack his character. Threatening sanctions is a bullying tactic. And, it only makes me more excited for this case.”

After working without agency representation for the past five years, Angelina Jolie has signed with IFA Talent, which will "help her find smaller character-based roles in independent projects," according to THR.
Though Jolie is repped by UTA as a writer and a director, she hasn't had a movie agent since she left CAA in 2006. Jolie is still with her longtime manager Geyer Kosinski at Media Talent Group, and sources tell THR that Jolie is looking to move away from "studio tentpoles or franchises" and return to her roots in drama.
After shooting to stardom with 1999's Girl Interrupted, Jolie has appeared in flicks like The Tourist, Salt and Wanted, all of which received lukewarm reviews from critics and fans. Remember the outrage last year when The Tourist was nominated for 3 Golden Globes? We know Jolie is an amazing actress, so it will be interesting to see where this latest career move takes her!
