Kim Kardashian Robbery: Thugs Busted By New Surveillance Video?!

A new video allegedly showing one of the thugs who robbed Kim Kardashian  could be the key to solving her case at last … if it’s real, anyway. A copy of purported security camera footage taken of the chilling heist that went down on the night of October 3 was posted today by Radar . Kim, 36, was held at gunpoint in the luxurious No Name Hotel in Paris and robbed of millions in jewels. The crime has yet to be solved. Radar’s video, however, reveals the face of one of the alleged culprits for the very first time, though the story surrounding it raises questions. According to an insider quoted by the celebrity gossip site, the thieves demanded that the building staff turn over video from the cameras on site. That, they believed, would scuttle any trace of evidence. Since that fateful night, however, either the goons have been showing the video to the wrong people or it’s been stolen, ’cause Radar got it. The video purports to show “Kim’s friend or nanny being held … they were storming the room, and one of her friends was being held.” “At the time, Kim was in her bedroom, and there weren’t any cameras there. She didn’t come out to help her friend outside of her door.” “But you can see that it was very violent.” “Kim had every right to be spooked!” Indeed, the grainy black and white footage shows an unknown thug coming up behind and dragging a blonde woman around by the neck. Understandably, the woman looks terrified. Kim Kardashian Robbery Footage: First Look! Up until now, officials have had little to go on beyond dark and blurry footage of the robbers escaping from the scene on bikes (above). Will this new video be the clue they need? It wouldn’t erase the horrible events of this fall, but it would no doubt offer some degree of closure and satisfaction for Kim if so. Since then, she’s clearly been affected, having gone quiet on social media even before Kanye West’s mental breakdown this month. “Kim thinks that it is absolutely absurd that these guys have not been caught. She will never be able to get this out of her head,” an insider says. “She was certain that she was going to be killed.” Kim Kardashian Robbery: Has DNA Evidence Been Found? The star is upset that the assailants are at large, and at this point, has lamented the strong possibility that they may never face justice. The fact that some people think the Kim Kardashian robbery was fake or somehow embellished for ratings eats away at her too. Says another family insider close to the situation: “The fact that nothing has been done and no one has been charged just makes this whole situation that much worse for her and her family.” “She is starting to think that they will never be caught.” Cross your fingers that this the cops’ big break, though we have to say, the video – even if it is from the attack – leaves a lot to be desired.

Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy, Love, Loss … and Redemption?

A year ago at this time, we saw  Lamar Odom fighting for his life in a Las Vegas hospital, having come back from the brink of death. Now, he's finalized his divorce from Khloe Kardashian and is back in rehab , having apparently fallen on some hard times again. As we hope that he can finally get back on track, it's worth sadly remembering all the former basketball star has been through. How can one person endure so much, from youth to adulthood? And can we expect things to turn out any differently this time? Read. Think. Discuss. 1. Left All Alone Lamar’s mother died of cancer when he as 12 years old. His father, Joe Odom, was addicted to heroine and scarcely in the picture when Odom was a child. 2. Off-Court Troubles Odom was a high school phenom on the basketball court. However, academic troubles (along with a citation for soliciting prostitution) plagued Odom prior to him transferring from UNLV to the University of Rhode Island. 3. On to the NBA Odom was selected fourth overall in the 1999 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. A couple years later, he was suspended twice in an eight-month span for marijuana use. 4. Goodbye to Grandma In 2003, Odom’s maternal grandmother Mildred, who helped raise him, passed away. 5. An Unspeakable Loss Three years later, Odom’s 6-month-old son, Jayden, died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome while sleeping in his crib. 6. Another Death in the Family In 2011, a 24-year-old cousin to whom Lamar was close was murdered while Odom was in New York to shoot a Nike commercial. View Slideshow
