MANHATTAN — Maksim Gelman doesn't want to just keep up with the Kardashians — he wants to marry one.

The convicted mass murderer wants to make an honest woman out of reality show TV starlet Kim Kardashian, whose marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries went up in smoke after just 72 days.

The loony love offer came at Gelman's sentencing Wednesday for slashing straphanger and Lincoln Center employee Joe Lozito on a 3 train in Times Square in February 2011 after a murderous rampage in Brooklyn.

"I promise it to make it last more than 72 days," said the unhinged Gelman, who wore a bright orange Correction Department jumpsuit and made faces, yawned and laughed during the proceeding in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Maksim Gelman, 23, is accused of going on a two-day slashing spree that left four people dead and four others wounded.

Gelman was hit with 25 years in prison for slashing Lozito in addition to the 200 years-to-life he faces for murdering his stepfather, ex-girlfriend and her mother and mowing down a pedestrian in a bid to elude cops.

Kardashian's marriage to Humphries, who plays for the Nets, ended in October after a lavish, televised wedding about two months earlier.

Humphries filed for an annulment in December and the couple is now going through a divorce battle, according to the LA Times.
