As Kim Kardashian files for divorce today from Kris Humphries, it's a good thing she can keep busy with work!

And Kim's not just headed out of town, she's leaving the country!

So where's she off to—and why?

The E! reality star is heading to Australia tonight to launch her handbag line, and then it's onto Atlanta shortly after.

She just wrapped filming on her E! reality show Koutney and Kim Take New York, but she's throwing herself into an even bigger project very soon: a part in Tyler Perry's ironically titled new movie The Marriage Counselor. For the costarring role, as Jurnee Smollett's gal-pal, she'll be spending at least a week in Atlanta.

When Kim hosted Midori's Green Halloween party in NYC Saturday night solo (her husband was back in Minnesota), she said her sisters have been rehearsing with her.

"You know, when I first of all heard about the role, I was honored that I would even get that offer," Kim told us at Lavo, where she dressed as Poison Ivy for her party.

"He [Tyler Perry] is such an brilliant man, so I was just so excited to be part of the film so it's just every day, reading the script and rehearsing, going over it with friends and sisters. I have met with an acting coach."

There's nothing like keeping busy to help take your mind off a breakup!
