Kim was being used

Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin is simply heartbroken over his breakup with Kim Kardashian . . . heartbroken that the paparazzi aren't following him around anymore. Awww, poor guy. Time heals all wounds. From US Weekly:

What does Dallas Cowboys' Miles Austin miss most about ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian?

The attention!

"Sitting on the floor of the Lakers game with her was better than any commercial of him that would ever run," an insider tells UsMagazine.com. "Sure, he liked her to an extent, but he loved the publicity a lot more."

Even though it didn't work out, Austin, 26, is still "pumped because dating her really put him into the national spotlight and really raised his awareness in the public eye," says the source. "He thought she was cool, but by no means is he heartbroken."

Kim Kardashian found an even bigger attention whore than herself? And the Universe didn't collapse in on itself, ending mankind as we know it? Hah, suck on that Stephen Hawking! I knew his Kardashian Famewhore Theorem was flawed!
