Wow. That was fast.

After cozying up courtsidse at a Lakers game, spending Thanksgiving together and even taking in a screening of Burlesque, Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry's burgeoning romance has abruptly burned out.

And we're hearing that his ex, Halle Berry, had something to do with it...

In just two weeks, Aubry went from boyfriend to the dreaded just friends, and a source blames it on two things: Baby mama drama from Halle Berry and Kim's latest crush, NBA hoopster Kris Humphries.

Apparently Halle was not happy with her ex's hookup with Kim—and she let her feelings be known. "It was just too much to handle for Kim," the source tells E! News. "She realized very quickly they were better off as friends."

Things also seemed to be moving too fast for Kim, who has said she thought she'd be married by now, yet is the remaining single sister.

Now she's being linked to the 6-foot-9 New Jersey Net Humphries. The two initially hit it off back on Halloween and even had a secret rendezvous at Nobu in New York early last month.

They've been in touch and have seen each other since, but Kim's trying to keep it "low-key," says the source.

We'll see how long that lasts.

In the past few months, she's been linked to a growing list of guys that also includes John Mayer, Kanye West, Miles Austin, Chris Brown and One Tree Hill actor Michael Copon.

Kim did tell us recently she enjoyed dating. Maybe she means "speed-dating."
