The Friday effect

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband Kris Humphries last Monday, which is the same day that she released a statement concerning the divorce.
Nothing really major about that, especially considering every logically-thinking person probably expected it to happen. But there's something fairly interesting in the timing she chose to release her statement.
It was on a Monday.
Now, I know that most people weren't thinking about it. But here's the thing: The fact that she released this information screams 'GIVE ME ATTENTION!' Releasing news on a Monday gives the press and every Perez-Hilton wannabe a chance to spend a good 5 days or more talking about it.
Kim K is traditionally considered to be all out for any sort of fame (no one really knew who she was before the sex tape came out, then she's done whatever she could to maintain her status), and this doesn't seem to be any different. If she was really craving privacy, she wouldn't have released the statement on a Monday, and she wouldn't be talking about every aspect of her dirty little life on her various and sundry reality shows.
