Lamar Odom DUI Arraignment Postponed By Two Weeks

Lamar Odom’s DUI case was postponed by two weeks earlier today, as his attorney appeared in court on the athlete’s behalf and requested a continuance. The troubled star was not in the Van Nuys, Calif., courtroom for the scheduled arraignment, and wasn’t required to be. His attorney, Richard Hutton was. The judge granted a new hearing date of October 10. Odom was arrested for DUI August 30 after being pulled over the on California’s 101 freeway for driving too slowly in the early hours of the morning. He refused to take any blood alcohol tests, and lost his license for a year a result. Police believe Odom was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Today marks Odom’s fourth wedding anniversary. He and Khloe Kardashian got married in 2009, and appeared to be very happy until the past few months, when he’s been linked to various mistresses. Odom has also been in the throes of crack addiction, a problem he’s battled in the past, but has escalated with one major crack binge after another. Believe it or not, he’s reportedly planning an anniversary surprise for Khloe today, having withdrawn $100K for unknown reasons in an effort to win her back. It’s unclear if he’s done so or how she’ll react. Khloe, meanwhile, marked the anniversary by taking “Odom” off of her name on Twitter. So there’s that.

The Slizzard Struggle: Texas Woman Sentenced To Life In Prison After 6th DUI Conviction

In case you needed another reason not to drink and drive… Texas Woman Sentenced To Life In Prison After 6th DUI A Texas jury certainly made an example out of a woman who was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol for the sixth time in a row when they sentenced her to life in prison. via CBS DFW A 44-year-old Central Texas woman has been sentenced to life in prison for her sixth driving while intoxicated conviction. A Hays County jury on Wednesday sentenced Rose Ann Davidson of San Marcos. Investigators say Davidson was arrested in July 2012 on Interstate 35 after being pulled over by a Kyle police officer. Police say Davidson, whose five previous DWI convictions go back to 1996, was driving erratically and had an open container of beer in her vehicle. Prosecutors say Davidson served time in prison for her previous alcohol-related convictions. One less consistently drunk person behind the wheel doesn’t sound like such a bad thing to us….but do you think this jury was too harsh in sentencing this woman to a life behind bars? Shutterstock

Family Affairs: Kris Jenner Hooks Lamar Odom Up With OJ Simpson Lawyer Robert Shapiro To Rep Him In DUI Case!

If Shapiro can get OJ off, this should be a breeze OJ Lawyer Robert Shapiro Will Rep Lamar Odom In His DUI Case According to TMZ reports : Lamar Odom needs some legal firepower after his DUI arrest, and its OJ Simpson’s lawyer Robert Shapiro to the rescue … TMZ has learned. Lamar has hired Shapiro in what promises to be a sticky situation. TMZ broke the story … Lamar was popped early Friday AM on the 101 Freeway … and cops believe he was under the influence of both drugs and booze. Shapiro is known for plea bargaining. These cases are pretty standard — he’ll probably plead no contest to one count of DUI and get probation. He’ll also be required to attend an alcohol ed class. And, since he refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test, he’ll automatically get his driver’s license yanked for 1 year. No getting around that. This has Kris Jenner’s paw prints all over it. She’s used Shapiro for other legal messes in the past — most recently Robert Kardashian Jr.’s criminal battery and theft case. Ironically, Kris’ ex-hubby, the late Robert Kardashian, repped OJ Simpson along with Shapiro. Kris was best friends with Nicole Brown Simpson and felt OJ was guilty as sin. Put down the bottle and the pipe, Lammy. Image via WENN Continue reading

Khloe Kardashian: Mum on Lamar Odom Arrest, Hanging with Friends on Instagram

First, there was the somber selfie . Then, there was the near sibling smooch . Now, in the wake of Lamar Odom getting arrested for DUI, Khloe Kardashian has taken to Instagram once again and posted a photo of herself that makes no mention of the ongoing drama in her personal life. “Omg you can totally not sit with us,” Khloe captioned the photo above, which feature her and her hair and makeup team members (Joyce Bonelli, Jen Atkin, and Rob Scheppy). The image went live a couple hours after Odom was popped for driving under the influence of some kind of substance, as perhaps Khloe is trying to put on a brave public face in the wake of such controversy. Will she continue to stand by her man? That issue has become more complicated thanks to the following new information: Polina Polonsky may have served as Odom’s mistress AND his crack head enabler .
