Kris Humphries Renovates Bachelor Pad (PHOTOS)

Kim Kardashian may still be talking about her failed marriage, but Kris Humphries has something entirely different on the brain -- his newly renovated bachelor pad. The NBA star, who called Kardashian his wife for 72 days, has redecorated the basement of his Minnesota home to become the ultimate man cave.

"Remodeling my place felt great," Kris told Life & Style. "It was the perfect way to kick off the season and have a fresh start."

And a fresh start Humphries has with the help of "Man Caves" pros, Tony Siragusa and Jason Cameron -- the two guys with the brains and brawn behind the do-it-yourself show. So what's so special about Humphries' swanky new ladies lair? The new space now features an entertainment center fit for a 6'9" king, where Humphries and his buddies can play video games and watch movies.

"I look forward to spending my off-time here," Kris told the magazine.

And while Humphries is looking forward to time off, his soon-to-be ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, is diving back into work. The raven-haired beauty recently took to "Live! with Kelly" to talk about how she's moving forward post-breakup.

"I just need to rewrite my fairytale," Kardashian told Kelly Ripa.

It looks like both Kim and Kris are taking a step forward when it comes to moving on.

Are the initials over the bed so he won't foget his name?

I feel sorry for Kris. People give this dude a bad wrap when it was Kim who used him to boost her own brand, used his genuine feelings as a media frenzy and she knew it. Let this dude him and stop talking about Kim because she's as much of a nobody as he is. They both are. The difference? He really does have a life. Kim doesn't. She will never be married....she's already married. To the media.

Kim didn't exactly hogtie him, or use a shotgun. What she DID do is boost his name recognition to virutally a household name, bring endorsements into his sphere, and a life of luxury he never would have known.

I should only be used this way.

How did she get her life of luxury? didn't she sleep her way to the top? Why defend her? May as well go out and picket for prostitutes...

He makes $8 million a year at his job. I would say the luxury that Kim brought into his life wouldn't be worth the extra chaos and misery.

I hope Hunphries never grows his hair long and dyes it orange. Then he'll REALLY look like an orangutan ( yes, this is correct spelling ).

Is a tiny noggin photoshopped on a gigantic body?

[ncrespi]

Maybe he tried to photoshop something else....and that's why the marriage broke so soon.

The best news for Humphries is that his attorneys are considering suing Kris Jenner because she signed him as Talent Manager and then reportedly helped cheat him out of money involving the show and wedding.

Basement looks good, the KH is obnoxious and the whole bedroom look is mush worse than it was before. In one of the episodes, Kim made fun of how his bedroom was decorated and said it was awful -- wonder if that's why he had it redone.

He seems like he has Aspberger's to me. Anyone else who's seen the show think the same thing? He's a goofball galut and literally laughs and talks like a giant, but there is something sort of endearing about him. He played an awesome game tonight and the Nets beat the Phillies!

The Phillies? I think you've got the wrong sport there..

You're right. 76ers from Philly. So shocked the Nets won, I wasn't thinking straight....

It's called Asperger's Syndrome and your comment is irresponsible. I am a parent of a young man who has this condition and your portrayal ('goofball' etc.) is extremely ignorant. Asperger's has nothing to do with cognitive abilities but is a neurological disorder impacting a person's social interactions because they have difficulty reading subtle social cues. Immaturity appears to be present with both these individuals (his verbal comments to her and her seeking counsel with a Psychic rather than have mature serious conversations with her husband). However, to comment on specific psychological conditions you obviously do not understand is irresponsible and wrong.

My son has Asperger's and is now a young adult. I have an MS in Education, A BA in Child Psych and I work with people who have this syndrome. This is a comment board, and I see traits of Asperger's in Humphries--which, by the way, is why I like him and feel a connection. I don't feel that thinking someone has Asperger's is bad or wrong. My son is an amazing guy.

What I see is that Humphries is impulsive, super focused on basketball, seems pretty sensitive, and lacks some social skills. He says inappropriate things frequently, yet his actions show he has a good heart ( loyal to friends, willing to move back to New York, and a whole bunch of other things.) Did you see the whole gay episode? I never thought he didn't like and accept Jonathan, he just came across as someone who didn't have a filter. Very Asperger's...and yes, he seems like a goofball. Like a lot of fun, too. And btw, there are other threads where people speculate whether or not he has it. In my mind it would explain a lot.

Kim was bossy,everything was hers,and she let him know it everyday.On the otherhand Kris acted like a baby sometimes,walking away all the time.He should have stood up to the brat and let her know up front ,but he fell in that deep dark place.He was naive in every way!

If you have your initials over your bed you aren't that cool.
