MIAMI – Kim Kardashian has told friends that she will break up with boyfriend Reggie Bush if the New Orleans Saints don’t win the Super Bowl.

Bush, the Saints’ electric running back who helped lead them to the franchise’s first Super Bowl appearance, has been dating the reality star for about two years. They briefly separated last summer, but quickly reunited when Bush remembered that Kardashian had a “phat booty,” a source close to Bush said.

Kardashian came to the decision after realizing that she could not marry an athlete who isn’t a champion. Her sister, Khloe, in September married Los Angeles Lakers’ forward, Lamar Odom, just three months after he won an NBA title. And her mom, Chris Kardashian, married Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic gold medalist in the decathalon.

“Kim is obsessed with being the center of attention, and she cannot imagine being married to a man who finishes in second place,” said a woman, who claims to be friends with a waiter from West Hollywood’s The Ivy, where Kardashian was rumored to have had lunch on Wednesday with friends. “All she kept saying was, ‘I’ll never hear the end of it from Khloe, and do you really think my mom would have married Bruce if he got (the) silver or bronze (medal)?”

If being a 5 1/2 point underdog to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts wasn’t enough pressure, now Bush has even more on his mind heading into Sunday’s game.

“Reggie doesn’t feel pressure about Kim or anything,” said a University of Southern California football booster, who requested anonymity. “If he wasn’t nervous about driving that Benz I got him with … wait, you aren’t printing this, are you?”

Bush refused to discuss Kardashian during his media session Wednesday.

“I’m here to talk about football and only football,” he said. “And my endorsements. And the San Diego area code. And my abs.”

Kardashian, who leaked a new sex video through her publicist, released a statement saying, “I am furious that this video has been stolen and released on the internet. We will get to the bottom of this.”

Coincidentally, the video is entitled, The Bottom of This.

Jenner was originally opposed to Khloe’s marriage to Odom, since they’d only met one month earlier.  However, he finally embraced his son-in-law after breaking down during his toast to the couple, which aired on E! Entertainment’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

Jenner, who calls Odom a “taller, black version of my son Brody,” is rumored to be talking with Bush in the days before the big game.

“Reggie and I have a good relationship, but I’m not discussing specifics right now,” Jenner said. “When the E! crew arrives on Sunday, I’ll be happy to open up.”

Jenner added that his Olympic achievement easily trumped that of Odom and anything Bush “has done or will ever do in football.”

“The decathalon is a measure of athletic ability in so many more areas than these guys display,” he said. “But I’m still proud to call Lamar my son-in-law.”

Question is, will he ever get to call Bush the same?
