  • Khloé Kardashian has kicked Lamar Odom out after finding Crack Pipe

    Khloé Kardashian has kicked Lamar Odom out after finding Crack Pipe

    Latest gossip reports suggest that reality TV superstar, Khloé Kardashian, has kicked her soon-to-be ex-husband Lamar Odom out of the house she rented for him while he was recovering from his overdose accident in Las Vegas.

    More specifically, the reason behind this decision lies in the fact that she found a crack pipe within the property, which proves that Odom hasn’t still managed to resolve his drug addiction, despite last year’s near-death incident.

    As TMZ has originally reported, Kardashian has been renting a $25,000 per month luxurious estate for Odom, which is located near her own home, after he was released from the hospital. Kardashian chose to rent a house for Odom in an effort to avoid having to check in with him at a rehab center.

    The 6,400 square foot pad has reportedly been on a lease that is due to end next month, which Kardashian is not planning to renew, sources close to her confirmed to TMZ.

    At the time of writing, gossip outlets report that Odom is couch-surfing and staying with friends. As Celebuzz has correctly pointed out, Odom is effectively homeless at the moment.

    Furthermore, it is also worth adding that Kardashian filed for divorce in May, since she dismissed the first one’s petition, which was filed in December 2013, just a few weeks before getting validated, due to Odom’s drug overdose in the Nevada brothel.

    The second filling includes all the details that the couple had agreed on in the first divorce, while a prenup exists as well. Besides various financial settlements, Kardashian has stated in the past that she will be legally dropping the Odom name and go back to her maiden handle.

    Kardashian has reportedly based the divorce claiming  irreconcilable differences. Since the divorce was filed in California, it will take a six-month time frame for it to become final.

  • Lamar Odom Faces Long Recovery After Hospital Discharge

    Lamar Odom Faces Long Recovery After Hospital Discharge

    Lamar Odom has been deemed well enough to leave the Las Vegas hospital where he was rushed after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel last week. However, he faces a long recovery process before he can once again be deemed in good health. The former Los Angeles Lakers player was discharged from the Sunrise Hospital & Medical center Monday evening and transported to a Los Angeles-area hospital by helicopter to continue his recovery.

    Lamar Odom’s transfer to L.A. was dependent upon his condition remaining stable. He was reportedly in a coma for days before awaking to see his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian at his side. Reports are now saying that he can speak in full sentences and is able swallow and eat food on his own.

    Lamar Odom is still being treated for aspiration pneumonia and he is still on dialysis due to kidney failure. While he is able to move his arms and legs, he is not able to stand up, even with assistance. The athlete is no longer wearing an oxygen mask and his breathing is improving, but the reduction of oxygen in his body lasted so long that there may be some cognitive issues to deal with. The reports say that Odom’s health is improving day to day, but he is going to need a lot of rehab in the coming months.

    Lamar Odom is a former high school basketball star who went on to win two N.B.A. titles with the Los Angeles Lakers. His private struggles with relationships and drugs were played out on reality television for the whole world to see. He married Khloe Kardashian, already a reality TV celebrity, a month after they met. Their marriage and its demise were chronicled for the masses on her show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

    Many of the people close to him feared that something like this would eventually happen to him. When he was traded from the Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks in December 2011, his friends said that he took it hard. The estrangement from his wife over his partying habits also contributed to his downward spiral. In August 2013, he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and allegations of drug use have surfaced repeatedly. When he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, few who knew him were surprised, but all were saddened.

  • Lamar Odom Hospitalization Hits Basketball Pros Hard

    Lamar Odom Hospitalization Hits Basketball Pros Hard

    The hospitalization of Lamar Odom has affected a number of current and former basketball pros, with some of them taking to Twitter to voice their support and others traveling to Nevada to visit him in the hospital. Kobe Bryant reportedly left immediately after a Los Angeles Lakers preseason game to travel to the Nevada hospital to see his friend and former teammate in the hospital. Odom and Bryant were teammates for seven seasons from 2004 to 2011. Several other members of the Lakers have also traveled to Nevada to support Odom.

    Lamar Odom was a top-tier NBA talent and a two-time champion. He is also one of the most universally beloved teammates in the league. Those who know him describe him as sensitive, funny, genuine, and engaging. Dwayne Wade said he was praying for his friend to pull through, a sentiment echoed by Eric Gordon, Nick Young, and Paul Pierce.

    Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel on Tuesday afternoon. The sheriff’s department in Las Vegas reported that a call for an unresponsive male at the Love Ranch came in at 3:15pm. Paramedics treated the male at the scene before he was taken to a nearby hospital. An investigation into the incident has been launched, but what was found, if anything, has not been disclosed.

    Sources from the ranch have reported that Lamar Odom arrived at the ranch on Saturday and had been partying with the girls for days. On Tuesday afternoon, a woman went into the room he rented in the VIP suites and found him unconscious. The woman alerted the manager, who called 9-1-1 and went to see it aid could be rendered. The manager reportedly saw a mucus-type liquid coming out of Odom’s mouth and nose.

    Medical personnel wanted to airlift Odom for treatment, but his 6’10” frame was too large to fit in the helicopter so he was transported by ground instead. Sources are reporting that the former basketball player is in a coma and is having serious medical issues with his heart, lungs, and kidneys. He is reportedly breathing with the assistance of machines and is considered to be in critical condition. His estranged wife Khloe Kardashian is reportedly at his bedside.

    Odom’s troubles with drugs have been well documented over the past four years, culminating in his high profile divorce case with reality star Khloe Kardashian. Odom hasn’t played in an NBA game since May of 2013.
