Jonathan Jaxson — who worked with the reality star between 2007 and 2009 as her publicist — has renewed claims during a radio interview, that, Kim Kardashian’s nuptials to NBA star Kris Humphries were a publicity stunt and that she never got over her ex Reggie Bush.

Speaking on New York’s Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, Jaxson said: “She knew weeks before getting married she didn’t want to do it.” He then added: “She’s never gotten over [her ex Reggie Bush].” Kim, 31, and 26-year-old NFL star Reggie were the subject of repeated engagement claims throughout their relationship. The couple dated for around two years before initially splitting in July 2009. Two months later they got back together before ending their relationship again in March last year. Jaxson claimed he would often help Kim stage publicity stunts when he worked with her. He continued: “I staged several of the moments that the world has seen of her, such as a ring that we said was allegedly from Reggie Bush.” Jaxson added that there is no doubt Kim and Kris, 26, made a packet during their time together, despite Kim’s mum Kris Jenner saying they made nothing.

Soul Food actress Nia Long gives birth to a son

Soul Food star Nia Long and her basketball player husband Ime Udoka have welcomed a son into the world.

The 41-year-old actress gave birth to baby boy Kez Udoka last Sunday. Her spokeswoman said that “both mother and child are healthy and happy to be home”. Kez is the couple’s first child together; the Love Jones actress also has a 10-year-old son, Massai, with former boyfriend Massai Z Dorsey. Nia shocked the world when she followed in Demi Moore’s footsteps by posing pregnant and naked on the November cover of Ebony magazine. Her thrill at being pregnant may have been the cause behind her boldness. “This is the most exciting time in our lives,” the Third Watch star said in an interview with Us Weekly back in June. “Words can’t explain how thrilled we are by the new addition to our family.”

Pippa Middleton and boyfriend Alex Loudon split

Pippa Middleton is said to have split from her longterm boyfriend ex-cricketer Alex Loudon.

Friends said the 27-year-old Royal bridesmaid and her 31-year-old beau finally called time on their three-year relationship after a string of arguments. A source told The Sun that Pippa, whose profile sky-rocketed after the Royal Wedding, had sought refuge with her sister after the split. “She and Alex split briefly in the summer — but this time it’s over. They are barely speaking.” During the couple’s brief separation Pippa was spotted in the company of her former boyfriend and close friend, George Percy in Madrid, before reconciling with Loudon. But friends said this time their separation is for good after a series of rows, including one which erupted at an acquaintance’s wedding. It is believed Loudon, a city banker, had found it difficult to deal with Pippa’s sudden fame as a sex symbol.
