“Sweaty And Shaking” Lamar Odom Ishts On Clippers And Lakers Teammates As They All Attempt Last-Ditch Intervention!

Sweet baby Jesus, lay your healing hands on Lammy… Lamar Odom Rejects Clippers And Lakers Teammates’ Offer For Help During Intervention Looks like this thing is going to get worse before it gets better… Via RadarOnline The situation is dire — drug-troubled basketball star Lamar Odom rejected intervention attempts by teammates from the Los Angeles Clippers and his former team the Los Angeles Lakers, late on Monday afternoon, in a Los Angeles hotel room, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. The dramatic talks lasted three hours during which Odom, 33, appeared to be under the influence of a substance, a source inside the room said. “There was a bit of time it appeared that Lamar was going to admit publicly his addition and go to rehab, again,” the source told Radar. “But then, he abruptly bolted from the hotel and left the premises.” It’s believed he is now hold up in another hotel. Odom’s agent, Jeff Schwartz, was also at the intervention and made a series of calls during which he begged him to return to the hotel, but the sixth-man refused. Said one source, “One minute Lamar is agreeing that he needs help and 30 minutes later, he says he just needs to be left alone. This is extremely serious, but there is really nothing anyone can do to save Lamar unless he wants to save himself.” The source said there was evidence that Odom had been under the influence of a controlled substance during the intervention. “Lamar was sweaty and talking very fast. His hands were shaking and he couldn’t sit still. He kept pacing in the room,” the source added. Damn, homie sounds like Pookie from New Jack City right now… Despite reports he’s abusing crack cocaine, the source said Odom, the husband of reality star Khloe Kardashian, is suffering from an addiction to OxyContin, as we first reported. He also abuses Ambien, a sedative that is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, sources say. Stop pushing people away Lamar, you need some help, clearly… Image via Splash Continue reading

MTV Cancels Buckwild, Producer RIPS Network

MTV has canceled Buckwild , its controversial new reality show about a group of young, hard-partying West Virginians going … well, Buckwild . The final straw was the accidental death of cast member Shain Gandee , which producer J.P. Williams says is as baffling as it is hypocritical. “This is the network that has shows about teen pregnancy,” Williams told The Hollywood Reporter , referring to hit shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom . “They’ll stick by a show that allows you to abandon a child, but a kid dies by accident – doing what he does for a living – and they cancel the show?!” “There’s something that smells of s–t here on every level.” He makes a valid point that could also be summed up in two words: Jenelle Evans . The show was mired in bad PR long before Gandee died, however. Just 21 years old, Gandee was found dead April 1 in his Ford Bronco along with his uncle David Gandee, 28, and pal Donald Robert Myers, 27. The trio suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and died after the vehicle became stuck in mud during a “mudding” (or off-road driving) excursion. Williams, who manages most of Buckwild’s cast and produces the show, says MTV told him as of Friday that it intended to NOT cancel the series. However, by Tuesday, the network had clearly changed course. “There was no explanation,” says Williams, who intends to continue shooting the series, in hopes of airing it elsewhere, and maybe even finance a film. “My job is to protect these kids,” he said, ” this will get ugly .”

Celebrity Cribs: Vanessa Bryant Sells $3 Million Mansion She Got From Kobe During Divorce Talks

She was with him shooting in the gym … Vanessa Bryant Sells California Mansion Via RadarOnline reports: They’ve called off the split but not before Vanessa Bryant sold off the house she got as part of her divorce settlement with Kobe Bryant. The 6,000 mansion in a gated Newport Beach community was listed in September for $3.75 million. It closed mid-January for $3.22 million. It was one of three homes Vanessa and the Los Angeles Lakers superstar had jointly owned in the same upscale community. Just days after the sale, the pair announced they’d reconciled and the divorce petition was being dismissed. The mountain-view house was built in 1999 and purchased by the Bryants in 2003 for $2.65 million. It has five bedrooms, an office, five fireplaces and balconies. The quarter-acre property has a spa and outdoor kitchen. Kobe lived in a three-bedroom bungalow at the nearby Resort at Pelican Hill during his separation from Vanessa. Looks like Vanessa is getting to have her cake, sell it and eat it too…

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant: Reconciled!

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa Bryant are officially back together, happy, reconciled and dismissing their divorce papers. They confirmed the un-split on Instagram! Friday, Vanessa’s page read: “We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled. Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future.” Kobe Bryant posted a message on Facebook: “When the show ends and the music stops, the journey is made beautiful by having that someone to share it with. Thank you all for your support and prayers.” “I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family.” Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce in December 2011, citing irreconcilable differences, nearly 10 years after she stuck by him during his Colorado rape trial. Kobe was acquitted of all charges, but admitted straying from Vanessa with the desk clerk at a Vail-area resort hotel in a memorable public apology. Vanessa filing to leave Kobe was rumored to be a product of his cheating, as well. This was never confirmed, but he definitely did not want to get divorced. The future NBA Hall of Fame member spent pretty much all of 2012 trying to win his wife back , privately and publicly, and it appears it finally worked. The couple has two daughters. We wish them all the best!
