Khloe Kardashian Konfidant Konfirms Separation, "Sad Situation" with Lamar Odom

In the face of ongoing infidelity and drug rumors, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom remain married. But a friend of the former’s tells People Magazine in a new interview: the couple might as well not be. “They’re separated for the moment,” says this insider. ” Khloé is spending many nights at her mom’s house and Lamar is at his place [in] downtown [L.A.]” Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom Separated Everyday seems to bring with it worse and worse news for the formerly in-love twosome. Most recently, a report claimed Khloe has cut Lamar off and the basketball star has been forced to pawn jewelry to feed his crack habit. Polina Polonsky, meanwhile, alleges that Odom totally built crack pipes in her home. “The whole situation is so sad,” the People source adds. “She wants to save her marriage, but Lamar doesn’t and he’s not in his right mind to do so. So what can Khloé do?” Not a great deal, unfortunately. Kardashian continues to film scenes for Keeping Up with the Kardashians and has been trying to put on a brave Instagram face, but another family friend says the relationship is doomed. “I believe Lamar is the one who wants out [of the marriage],” this mole says. “It’s not looking good.”

Wife Carries Double Amputee Marine Husband, Inspirational Photo Goes Viral

A photo of a woman lovingly carrying her double-amputee Marine husband has gone viral, and for good reason, but their story is even more touching. The moving image of Kelly Forrester Cottle and Jesse Cottle spread quickly online after it was posted on photographer Sarah Leford’s Facebook page . How they got there is an amazing series of events, both tragic and inspirational. Jesse, 28, lost both of his legs in Afghanistan in 2009 after stepping on an IED, which was caught on video by a fellow marine wearing a helmet camera. The footage was used in a documentary about Jesse called Coming Home . After spending months in the hospital, Jesse met his future wife Kelly, 24, in San Diego on one of his first outings with his new prosthetic legs. “His personality and who he is just outweighs his injuries by so much that you forget about it after a while,” Kelly explained. The professional photo seen above was taken while the couple was visiting family in Idaho, however she says the specific pose was not staged. “Someone had suggested taking photos in the water,” Kelly said. “I was carrying Jesse back to his legs, and the photographer was like, ‘Oh we’ll get a couple of shots of you together.’ It wasn’t planned or anything.” Jesse told ABC News, “The photo really says it all. She’s physically carrying me, but there’s times where she’s carrying me emotionally.” “I actually look at it as a symbol for our whole relationship in general.” Ledford, who took the photo, added, “It’s an amazingly inspiring story that has touched the lives of many Americans. Jesse is not a hero for stepping on an IED.” “He’s a hero because of the way he has handled what was handed to him and how he chooses to continue to conduct his life with his positive attitude.” The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary on August 18. “If I hadn’t stepped on that IED I wouldn’t have met her,” he said. “I wouldn’t take it back ever.”

Lamar Odom Returns Home, Reportedly "Ready to Listen"

Step one is accomplished: Lamar Odom has reportedly returned home and is living again with Khloe Kardashian. The basketball star had allegedly gone missing last week, though various source claims Khloe was aware of his whereabouts all along and was desperately trying to help with a purported drug problem. Either way, no reports disputed the fact that Khloe had kicked Lamar out of their home because he refused to seek treatment for a crack cocaine addiction . But insiders now confirm to TMZ that Odom moved back into his Los Angeles home yesterday. It’s unclear where his relationship with Khloe stands, but at least he is now “open to reason,” a source says, and “listening to the people who love him the most.” So a lot has changed in a few days regarding Odom’s outlook and we can all hope he soon realizes that serious help is required. Numerous NBA stars have also reached out to Odom (we know Kevin Durant wished him well in a brief interview last week), but Lamar is supposedly keeping largely to himself. Still, he’s “receptive” to treatment and the Kardashians are looking at this as a positive step. Is Lamar Odom on Crack?

Pure Comedy: Gabby Break-A-Union Would Never Be An Unwed Mother

We saw a bump. We asked a question. And the virtuous Gabrielle Union responded. Gabrielle Union has no plans to get pregnant anytime soon despite the rumors. Pictures of a slight tummy bump set the rumor mill a blaze. Gabrielle who’s dating Miami Heat basketball star Dwyane Wade wasted no time denying these rumors, “No, I am not pregnant and please let the world know I will only be pregnant after I am married, and that will be years from now. I want to play roles that let me wear a bikini and run around like a badass! LOL It’s kinda hard to do all that with a baby bump!” “When erroneous reports of pregnancy pop up for different actors or artists, that can stop us from getting work…it’s hard enough in this recession trying to find a job without our own people putting up unnecessary roadbloacks for us to feed our families.” Darn. Now we have to see if they’ll take this Edible Arrangement back. Source
