You know what they say - when the cat's away, the mice will play!

Kris Humphries hit up Boa steakhouse in Hollywood for dinner with a couple guy friends on Thursday, and we find it very interesting that the NBA baller chooses to come to the City of Angels when his soon-to-be-ex-wife is out of the country!

We all know the Kardashians own Los Angeles and its various hot spots, so we think the New Jersey Nets power forward must have known his former lady love Kim Kardashian was in London with new boy toy Kanye West!

Their divorce drama is nowhere close to over, but clearly the former Mr. Kardashian has enough money in the bank to wine and dine!

Kim Kardashian's and Kris Humphries' attorneys faced off in LA divorce court Friday, six months after Kim decided to call it quits with her basketball hubby.

Kardashian's lawyer, Laura Wasser, said, "I feel that [Humphries'] personal feelins and maybe some media drive, is keeping this case alive."

"Certainly, they've been separated longer than they've been married," Wasser told the judge. Humphries' council said they need more time to gather information in order to decide whether to seek an annulment. Wasser warned that if Humphries decides to petition for an annulment, Kris will have to fork over some serious dough to Kim if she wins.

Neither Kardashian, 31, nor Humphries, 27, was in court today. A progress hearing is scheduled for Aug. 15.

Kris Humphries isn't letting his ex Kim Kardashian's new romance with Kanye West get in the way of giving good face.

The New Jersey Nets star is showing off his gorgeous face AND package in this new sexy photo shoot for WestEast magazine ... shot by celebrity photographer
Christopher Logan.

The shoot took place two weeks ago at the Night Hotel in New York. We'll admit, Kris looks pretty damn good in those leather skivvies. Yowza!

But was it New York Knicks fans or everyone at Madison Square Garden?!

In the video above, you can clearly hear Kris Humphries receiving boos from the crowd at last night's Nets/Knicks game, and it was so bad, the commentators even addressed it on the air!

"Kris Humphries coming into the game, just signing a new deal. There's a...the boos from the fans," they said to TV viewers tuning in. "He's one of the most famous players in the NBA now, it has nothing to do with basketball but obviously with his marriage and quick divorce to Kim Kardashian. You feel bad for the young man. He's gonna, no doubt, hear all sorts of taunts and stuff throughout the season."

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband is finally employed!

Kris Humphries is gearing up to re-sign with the New Jersey Nets for a one-year deal worth an estimated $7 to $8 million, the New York Post reports.

The former reality star will rejoin his old team and hit the b-ball courts as early as Wednesday night, in a preseason game against the New York Knicks.

The NBA lockout, and sudden divorce from Kim K after 72 days, has left the basketball star with a lot of free time. Thankfully he can bounce right back into the game, and leave all the Kardashian drama behind!

Humphries recently revealed on an appearance with Good Morning America this month: "Through everything I've just focused on family and preparing for basketball. Basketball is something I take really seriously and I continue to do that. You know, I'm just moving forward."

After his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian ended with a divorce filing, Kris Humphries is ready to move and on with his life, minus the drama.

The NBA star appeared on Good Morning America Friday morning, with mom Debra, to speak out about his career and charity projects -- but the hosts seemed more interested in his divorce from the reality star than discussing his upcoming projects.

After being grilled by the GMA hosts on why his marriage with Kim K ended so quickly, Humphries expressed:

"For me, it's just certain things happen in life and you've got to move forward. Through everything I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball. Basketball has always been something I've taken really serious and I continue to do that and I'm just moving forward."

The former couple, who dated just 8 months before tying the knot in a lavish Santa Barbara ceremony, are now seeing their relationship play out on the current season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York -- Kris says he doesn't watch.

So does Kris blame his failed marriage on reality TV?

"I have never really been someone to watch the show, on TV, or anything like that. I can't say for sure or not for sure [if the cameras hurt my marriage]. It's the only time I've been married. I've been in the NBA since I was 19 years old, but it's a different level. I'm focused on just what I can control. I don't really play into all the gossip and things that take place, but that's life."

For now, Kim K's ex-hubby is focusing on his charity, which helps fights childhood obesity, and playing professional basketball.

"Really right now I'm focused on basketball and other things will take care of themselves. It's a great day for the NBA and the fans," he said. "The only things I watch on TV of myself is playing basketball. I've never really been one to watch the show on TV. For me my focus is just basketball, my foundation, my family and moving through life."

Kris's mom added: "The important thing is that we stay close as a family - it's our faith in God that carries us through all of these times. We have so much to be thankful for right now. We're looking forward not backward."

Humphries recently filed for annulment after Kim filed for divorce on October 31.

Kris Humphries filed for annulment in response to Kim Kardashian's divorce petition today, and the documents show that the NBA star IS seeking an annulment based on fraud!

The papers were filed this morning in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and Humphries asks for legal separation due to irreconcilable differences and "nullity of voidable marriage based on fraud." Sources close to Humphries have revealed that he felt as though Kardashian took advantage of him and used him just for ratings on her reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Kim filed for divorce on October 31, 2011 after just 72 days of marriage, and while Humphries was reportedly blindsided by the news, Kim seemed more concerned with her public image. "I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have," she said in a statement. "I got caught up in the hoopla and the filming of the TV show."

We just learned that Kris Humphies is reportedly suing estranged wife Kim Kardashian for $10 million, and now sources close to the reality TV starlet are dishing the dirty deets on what a horrible spouse the NBA star was.

In the cover story titled "Husband From Hell," a pal tells Us Weekly, "[Kris] belittled her in front of people. He'd call her stupid. It was truly sickening." According the the mag, Kris also criticized Kim for her full figure, calling her "fat a**." Ouch!

Kim filed for divorce less than a month ago, and even though Kris claimed he was "devastated" by the news, sources close to Kim revealed that the two were constantly fighting about everything from money to her celebrity status.

And that's not all! "He tried to control Kim by bringing her down," the source continued. "He would say truly terrible things. One time, he said she had no talent and her fame wouldn't last."
