Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are already talking marriage.
They just went public a month ago, but sources say they are already very serious.
The couple is talking marriage even though the reality star has yet to finalize her divorce from NBA star Kris Humphries.
Khloé Kardashian's marriage could be over if husband Lamar Odom doesn't get signed to play for a team in Los Angeles.
Odom was traded to Dallas from the Lakers before the season and sources say the reality star doesn't feel that their marriage can handle another stressful move to another city.
Odom has been in a funk since the Lakers traded him and she thinks the only thing that will pull him out of it will be playing for the Lakers again.
Khloé Kardashian says 'Divorce Is Not an Option'
Khloé Kardashian says divorce is not an option in her marriage to Lamar Odom.
In a new interview with People she talks about the decision put their reality show Khloé & Lamar on hold.
She said "We just wanted a little pause. Part of being married is knowing when your husband needs your support."
Khloé adds "I'm a modern girl, but you should put your husband first. I like to think divorce is not an option."

Mitt Romney will not be appearing on "Saturday Night Live" this season.
Executive producer Lorne Michaels said yesterday, “We only have three shows left and they’re pretty jammed packed. It might be in the fall, but we’ll never know, that’ll all depend on his availability.”
"Saturday Night Live"’s 37th season wraps up on May 19. It will return in September 2012 in the heat of the Presidential election campaign.
In a new spin on dating shows, Fox is mimicking the format of NBC's The Voice, with "The Choice: a six-episode summer series that features groups of four male celebrities in spinning chairs "blindly" evaluating potential dates.
The idea goes back to "The Dating Game", but instead of buttons, the chairs include "love handles" that, when pulled, signal interest in a "fantasy date."
As with "The Voice", if more than one pulls the lever they must compete for the woman; in a second speed-dating round, the woman must quickly convince the celeb of her date worthiness.
One Fox TV exec says, "They will go on the date, but the date is relatively insignificant" to the show. "It's really about the picking and elimination."
The celebs (to be named later) are "famous, successful, very attractive and single."
Cat Deeley (from "So You Think You Can Dance") will host the series, which starts June 7, Thursdays at 9 ET/PT.

The creators of a Starz series wanted an authentic look for “Magic City,” a show set in 1959 Miami-- and it was nearly impossible to find local women with natural breasts.
According to a locals casting director, “I’ve actually had better luck finding synchronized swimming groups than I did finding real boobs."
Mitch Glazer, a “Magic City” producer and writer, says they “were rigorous about everything across the board from music to architecture down to [the breasts]”.
One of the casting notices read: “GIRLS HAD FULLER FIGURES BACK THEN. … SO NO SKINNY MODELS. ALL-NATURAL — NO PLASTIC SURGERY/BREAST IMPLANTS.”
Breast implants are the most popular plastic surgery procedure, and South Florida accounts for 16 percent of all of the country’s plastic surgery. Miami came in third, behind Beverly Hills and San Francisco, for the highest number of boob jobs.
TATTS, Too
The casting director also had to look out for tattoos, lip injections and other cosmetic procedures. He said, “We need girls with the big hips and the curves. And down here [in Miami], everybody is so fit. It’s like tiny little waist and big boobs, pardon the French. But we have to be really careful about how we go about the casting process. It’s a huge challenge.”
“Magic City” was filmed last year in Miami. The series “centers on Miami mobsters and other characters from Miami Beach in the late 1950s.”

Ke$ha is this month's cover girl for V magazine and she talked about her recent work with the Flaming Lips and collaborations she would like to see happen with Justin Bieber and Keith Richards.
She said: "The range of artists I want to work with is so vast it's bizarre. I would love to have Keith Richards on the record. I would sure as hell like to do a collaboration with Bieber and at the same time do a song with the Flaming Lips. If someone is a real artist, you can't confine them to a particular genre. It's my mission to make it all make sense somehow."
On her style: "I do feel like there are the pop stars of the world and then I'm like their dirty little sister, running around with s**t on my face in combat boots because I can't walk in heels."
On her upcoming album, which is still untitled and has no official release date: "The first record was all me living in LA, trying to pay my rent, have a really good time, and look good on nothing. But ever since then I've seen how many people my music can reach, and I've realized that I have somewhat of a social responsibility to make sure everything I say is positive."
V Magazine's Americana Issue hits newsstands May 10th. Ke$ha stripped down for the cover, wearing nothing but an American flag painted on her face.
She said: "This is my first tour, but I want to give my fans everything that they're waiting for. All the hits, lots of dancing, all the stuff they love. But some new surprises. Lot of energy, lots of great music, obviously. A little bit of English, a little bit of Spanish, a little bit of everything I think that our fans really want."
She gave props to her tour mates, calling them "great performers". She also promised that she and Iglesias will flip-flop headlining slots and will also do some songs together as well.
