Nick Cannon and Kim Kardashian in 2006

The best thing about this story is that I had actually forgotten that Nick Cannon used to date Kim Kardashian. Mariah Carey is getting Kim Kardashian's sloppy seconds. Hah! Via Contact Music:

The America's Got Talent host began dating Kardashian in September, 2006, but the couple split only four months later and Cannon claims he ended the relationship because she wasn't straight with him about her raunchy past.

The star, who is now married to Mariah Carey, tells U.S. shock jock Howard Stern, "This was my issue. We talked about this tape... And she told me there was no tape. If she might have been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down (stay with her) and be like, 'That was before me' - because she is a great girl. She's actually one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape, (I couldn't get over it.)"

OK, so is Kim a liar or is she a great girl? Nick, don't start lying now -- what you told Howard is horseshit and you know it. Back in '06 when Kim was trying to make a name for herself, she was known as "Paris Hilton's fat friend with the sex tape," so do me a favor and just keep it real. When you saw that Ray J was packing a bazooka in his pants, you knew that you could never measure up to him. Although honestly? Considering Kim's modus operandi, it's safer to assume that she dumped you because of your lack of fame and . . . sorry to say, you're not black enough.
