Kim Kardashian, Kanye West go on a date

Kim Kardashian is technically still a married woman, but it looks as if she's rebounding from her 72-day fling with wedded bliss by spending some time with the one and only Kanye West.

A report Thursday at www.tmz.com revealed that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and spotlight-craving hip-hop artist spent Wednesday evening together in New York City and saw "The Hunger Games." The news came just hours after new West single "Theraflu" was leaked online. On the track, West opens up about falling in love with the reality TV queen at the same time she was falling for New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries.

As of Thursday afternoon, Humphries hadn't responded to the heartbreaking news. Also as of Thursday afternoon, cable network E! hadn't yet revealed any plans for a TV special to mark the Kim-Kanye love connection.

The previous week's audience difference was 137,000.
