He may be avoiding professional help , but Lamar Odom cannot avoid the law. Following his August 30 arrest, the troubled husband of Khloe Kardashian was officially charged Friday with one count of Driving Under the Influence. Lamar Odom Arrest Details Odom was pulled over around 3:30 a.m. on the 101 freeway in Los Angeles because cops noticed he was driving too slow (yes, too slow ). He then failed a number of field sobriety tests and was hailed off to jail. Once there, Lamar refused to submit to a blood alcohol test. This actually helped his cause in a sense because police cannot now change him for hitting a number above the legal limit of .08, but it has consequences. Odom will lose his driver’s license for a year as a result. If convicted on the DUI charge, he will likely face probation and some kind of alcohol education course. This is Odom’s first drunk driving offense. He will be arraigned on September 27.
Despite reports that he was off the hook, Kanye West has been charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft for his LAX photographer smackdown. Kanye West Attacks Photographer Kanye went OFF on the photographer after he dared to speak with him as he left the airport … days after ‘Ye warned the paparazzi not to talk EVER. Paramedics were dispatched to the scene, which the rapper left. The alleged victim went to the hospital and has filed a lawsuit, but charges weren’t filed. Until today, that is. The photographer hired Gloria Allred, who said the attack left her client badly injured and that West tried to gank his camera as well. The baby daddy of Kim Kardashian faces a maximum of a year in jail if convicted of both misdemeanor offenses and will be arraigned October 10. The L.A. City Attorney is believed to have filed the charges , after another investigative agency declined to do so after looking into the matter last month. Prosecutors in L.A. County determined the photographer did not have a significant injury; his camera wasn’t stolen, and it’s not clear if it was even damaged. No weapon was used and West doesn’t have a record, so despite his hostile relationship with the media, so there was no evidence of a crime committed. The City Attorney disagreed, which is bad news for West, who hates cameramen as much as he loves Kim and North – and in part because of Kim and North.
BUSINESS BUZZ : Today's FAA scandal involves an air traffic controller who not only Took His Kid To Work but then allowed his kid to actually direct planes. If you listen to the audio, you will discover the kid did a pretty good job! Why is everyone being so AGEIST? The Best Links: “Pending the outcome of our investigation, the employees involved in this incident are not controlling air traffic,” the FAA said in a statement. “This behavior is not acceptable and does not demonstrate the kind of professionalism expected from all FAA employees.” The agency declined to comment beyond the statement. Listen here. It’s fun to watch the reporters try to gin up outrage over the potential peril this situation put passengers in. I mean, it’s much easier to talk about that than about the woefully inadequate system of child care we have in this country, right? Read
