US WEEKLY KNOWS where its bread is buttered, so it has come out firmly for Team Kim in the tabloid-loving Kim Kardashian - Kris Humphries divorce. Even though Kim has looked like a shallow twit during her over-accessorized, extravagant TV wedding and too-brief marriage, Us quotes Kim K pals as saying Kris is the bad guy. "He belittled her in front of people," one insider said. "He'd call her stupid. It was truly sickening. " Us 's inside source says Kris resented Kim's faux fame and fortune - neither of which should have been a surprise to him when their multimillion-dollar wedding was filmed for TV. Kris also allegedly called Kim "fat ass. " Tattle does acknowledge he could have meant it as a compliment.

ARLINGTON, Texas - When Mike Napoli was playing for the other team, Texas Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler had a serious dislike for him. Sure, a lot of that had to do with Napoli playing for a division opponent for five years before he became part of a World Series team in Texas. There was also the way Napoli flipped his bat after hitting a home run or how the top button of his Angels jersey was often undone. "I would never tell you last year I would probably enjoy having him in the clubhouse," Kinsler said.

IN 12 years of tracking murderabilia, Houston victim advocate Andy Kahan, its chief opponent, has seen some wacky stuff.

Experts think he killed even more. * Wayne Lo's semen: The school-massacre shooter shot something else all over a pornographic picture.

THE PROBLEM: The vacant lot across from Deborah Staton's Francisville home never caused her much grief. Sure, no one seemed to be caring for the land, but, fortunately, Staton always found someone to keep it decent. When the lot's weeds grew too wild, she called City Councilman Darrell Clarke's office, and someone would tidy it up. Later, when a Coldwell Banker Welker real-estate sign surfaced on the lot, she called the realty agency and someone took care of the overgrown weeds and litter.

ENTER THE MIND of a serial litterbug, the empty-souled trash tosser, and you'll find a person who can't differentiate right from wrong, or a Philadelphia street from a garbage dump. These people don't love trash, like Oscar the Grouch; they simply don't think about it at all. They're the Ted Bundys of improper waste disposal, tossing a beer can with the same hands they use to pray or pet their dog, with no remorse. "Those kind of people are crumbs. They just don't care," said Mario Monzo of DeMarco's Deli, on Jackson Street near South Philadelphia High School.
