If Lamar Odom is really trying to win back Khloe Kardashian , he may want to tell certain family members to stop slamming his ex-wife. Following the reality star’s admission that she actually faked trying to get pregnant while married to Odom, the former basketball player’s cousin has come out with some harsh words against Kardashian. “There’s no way to defend what Khloe did. It is disgraceful,” Simone Greggs tells In Touch , holding very little back. Odom’s relative goes on to acknowledge certain devious actions committed by her loved one, but says they don’t compare to what Khloe pulled. “Yes, Lamar deceived Khloe with his infidelities, but she deceived him too by faking fertility treatments when she knew all along she didn’t want to bring a baby into the world. “That’s betrayal.” On the season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe admitted that she told Lamar she was undergoing IVF in order for the couple to conceive after many years of trying and failing. But she was apparently misleading her then-husband. “I knew the circumstances weren’t the healthiest,” Khloe said on camera, referring to her toxic marriage with the NBA star that ended more than three years ago. “So I just kept pretending I was doing it.” Khloe and Lamar were married for four years, but the latter struggled with an addiction to drugs and alcohol during a significant portion of their relationship. “I had to stop [the treatments[ because there was much deeper stuff that was happening in our marriage,” Khloe said during a confessional last Sunday night, adding: “It wasn’t the right kind of situation to bring a child into, and I think I’ve done a lot of covering up for him.” We’re guessing Khloe would admit at this point that she didn’t handle the situation so well. She likely should have been up front with Lamar. But we can’t begin to understand what she was going through at the time, in terms of Lamar’s drug use and, later on, his admitted infidelity. At this point in her life, meanwhile, it sounds as if Khloe is ready to take this major step in her personal life. She’s been dating Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Tristan Thompson for several months now and sources say he wants to have kids. Actually, he wants to have many kids and Kardashian is all for it. “Tristan and I definitely talk about starting a family,” Khloe told Kim Kardashian on this same finale, adding of her boyfriend: “He wants to have five or six kids with me and that’s lovely. We could start at one and we could grow from there.” And they may be starting at this exact moment, as you’re reading this… considering Khloe also confessed she has gone off birth control. As many viewers may be aware by now, Keeping Up with the Kardashians suffered a ratings crash on Season 13. Its popularity has fallen pretty far these days, meaning producers may soon be looking for fresh and exciting storylines to freshen things up for Season 14. In other words: Can anyone else hear wedding bells? Does anyone else think a televised ceremony may be in the works for Khloe and Tristan? Sorry, Lamar. You really need to move on, buddy.

Despite the fact that she’s been feuding with Farrah Abraham for well over a year now, Amber Portwood seems to take a lot of her career cues from her least-favorite co-star. First, Amber planned to star in a sex tape – a trail initially blazed by Ms. Abraham. Now, it looks as though Portwood will be following in the Backdoor Teen Mom’s footsteps once again – but this time she plans to remain fully clothed. Radar Online is reporting that Amber is headed to Marriage Boot Camp , alongside her most recent ex, Matt Baier. You may be thinking you yourself, But Amber isn’t married. In fact, she dumped Matt Baier like a week ago! Those are both very good points, but it seems that these days the “Marriage” part of the title is being taken as a mere suggestion. Farrah isn’t married either, but she appeared on the show’s recent “Family Edition” alongside her troubled parents … who are also not married. Anyway, there’s been no official announcement from either Amber or the show, but insiders say it’s a done deal. “They’ve been in talks with production for a while,” says one source. Tellingly, reps for the show didn’t deny that Amber is involved when they were reached by Radar for comment. So does the fact that Amber and Matt are appearing on the show together mean that they’re hoping to reconcile? Not necessarily. Shows like Marriage Boot Camp often pay six figures for just a few weeks work, and we imagine Baier could really use the money. Amber is far more financially secure, but she must realize her time as a top-level reality star will likely come to a close within the next 2-3 years, and she’s hopefully putting away a nest egg for her daughter (and the remaining decades of her own life). Amber hosted an Instagram livestream last night and openly laughed at the suggestion that she’s only worth $288,000, telling fans that she owns individual cars worth more than that. We think it’s safe to say she’s living a bit beyond her means these days. So Amber and Matt will probably just go on the show, scream at each other a lot, and then go their separate ways, each considerably more wealthy than before. Watch Teen Mom online to remind yourself of how ill-suited they were as a couple.

Like Hemingway and the Jimmy John’s guy before them, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will soon be headed to the green hills of Africa, where they’ll participate in a full-blown safari. Unlike those giants in the worlds of literature and cold cuts, however, Harry and Meghan thankfully won’t be slaying any large beasts. But that doesn’t mean they won’t have something to show off when they get home. According to Radar Online, Harry is planning to propose to Meghan during the couple’s jungle jaunt. The continent is apparently of tremendous emotional significance to Harry, who sought refuge there with his brother and father following the death of his mother, Princess Diana. “Africa means everything to Harry,” a source close to the Royals tells Radar. “It is where he and William were taken by their father to escape after their mother’s death.” And that’s not the end of the Harry’s sentimental ties to Africa: “He feels himself there, and it was the South African jewelry he gave to Meghan that first gave their relationship away,” says the insider, adding: “Prince William proposed to Kate there.” In case you still haven’t grasped the extent to which Harry really, really loves Africa, the tipster continues: “He really feels he has found a soulmate in Meghan, and both have even said they would love to live on and run a wildlife safari reserve.” At this point, you should imagine the source grabbing you by the shoulders, shaking you, and screaming about Harry’s love of Africa. “The continent, the Toto song, everything! Harry. Loves. Africa!” Rumors about Harry and Meghan getting engaged have been circulating pretty much from the moment the world learned they were dating, but it’s really beginning to feel like it’ll happen soon. The couple attended Pippa Middleton’s wedding together last month, and the event served as their unofficial coming out party. Now that they’re a confirmed couple, it seems only a matter of time before Harry puts a ring on it. At 32, he’s not longer the wild child/black sheep (depending on whom you ask) of the Royal clan, and he’s spoken in recent years about his desire to settle down and start a family. We don’t know for sure when he’ll propose … but it sounds like there’s little doubt as to where it’ll happen. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 16 Things to Know About Prince Harry’s New Squeeze

Kim Kardashian’s Rep Denies Claims She And Kanye West Recently Separated Here we go again. Kim and Kanye West have been battling divorce rumors for some time now and the latest reports from Life & Style magazine aren’t going to help matters much! The tabloid claims the couple recently separated for a six week trial basis. “They want you to think that Kanye just needed a break from fame and Hollywood,” a Kanye insider tells Life & Style. While he did want time away from the spotlight, “he also wanted a break from Kim and his life with her.” “Friends worried the split would become permanent,” notes a source. “But she really wanted to give their marriage one more shot. She hopes the trial separation will make them realize how much they do love each other.” One more shot eh? Not so fast though. L&S also acknowledges that Kim’s publicist has denied this report. BUT they insist the couple is now just trying to hold things together. “They’re trying to make it work,” the source tells Life & Style, “but there are a lot of problems between them. It’s an ongoing struggle.” SMH. What marriage — sh** — relationship period — isn’t an ongoing struggle? Kim and Kanye will be okay. They not about to let Jay Z and Beyoncé beat them at marriage too.

Every reality series thrives on drama, and Real Housewives is no exception. Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks is getting her share of drama … but it’s of the courtroom variety. That doesn’t always translate well to reality TV’s ever-present cameras, especially when one of the parties is behind bars. But legal drama is always a treat to follow. Even if we don’t know how much of this can make it onto the small screen. Apollo Nida and Phaedra have a prenup, but we can get to that in a moment because that is its own thing. So, just a few days before the couple got married back in 2009, Apollo and Phaedra signed a prenup. Apparently, in addition to an agreement on how to divide their shared property, the prenup specified that neither of them would receive alimony in the event of a divorce. Sounds simple, right? We don’t have the luxury of looking over their detailed financial histories, but it stands to reason that, when they got married, Apollo was confident that he’d be the one paying alimony if the two of them ever split. The guy’s in prison for money fraud, so he probably believed all sorts of things about wealth. As it turns out, crime doesn’t always pay. Who knew? Well, now TMZ reports that Apollo Nida wants his and Phaedra’s prenup voided . Because of course he does. It sounds like Apollo legal troubles — to put it mildly — have adversely impacted his finances, and like he’s hoping to be supported by his ex, Phaedra. It wasn’t long at all after their marriage that Phaedra was cast on RHOA, and that must have turned their financial situation on its head in the best way. Except, of course, Phaedra’s not interested. Just because she became the breadwinner while his life collapsed doesn’t mean that she owes him a thing, and she wants the prenup upheld. Obviously. We have to talk about prenups themselves, though. Sometimes they’re a great idea — to prevent, like, nightmare universe versions of Cinderella from marrying rich and then filing for divorce in a quick grab for half of somebody’s assets. They’re usually assumed to be legal tools to “protect” husbands from manipulative femme fatales, but that’s because men are generally valued by their success while women are in so many cases still valued by their looks. Isn’t sexism fun? But it looks like those sexist stereotypes and how they must have influenced his own assumptions are coming back to bite Apollo Nida in the you-know-where, because Phaedra’s the one rolling in dough. There’s no sure way to know how this case is going to end — there’s some extra drama around Phaedra spelling Apollo’s name wrong on the prenup , so for the first time ever, your kindergarten teacher’s insistence that correct spelling matters is actually sounding kinda real. But it seems to us that a prenup is a binding contract. Unless it was made under duress or false pretenses, and it doesn’t sound like either of those were the case, shouldn’t it be every bit as ironclad as Phaedra believes it to be? Legal cases can surprise you, though. We may never know the whole story with this messy pair of exes. Maybe if Apollo had spent less time on money fraud and more time working on his relationship with his wife, he wouldn’t need a court battle to enjoy some of her wealth.

RIP, true love. In a shocking announcement made this evening, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor revealed the news that their marriage is over after 17 years. It hardly seems right. Ben and Christine released a joint statement to Entertainment Tonight, explaining that “With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate.” “Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends.” In closing, the (former, we guess) couple asked for privacy during this tough time. And man, what a surprisingly heartbreaking time it is. The two comedic actors met while filming a TV pilot called Heat Vision and Jack, and if you don’t remember it, it’s because the show was never picked up. But their relationship sure picked up — after a year of dating, they were married in a beach ceremony in Hawaii, exactly 17 years ago this month. Ben proposed after they’d been dating just seven months, and in an old interview, he compared the situation to one of his biggest movies, Meet the Parents. “I asked her father for permission before I did it,” he recalled at the time. “It was like Meet the Parents in real life, because Christine’s father is an intimidating guy who owns a security company.” In 2002, they welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Ella, and three years later they had a son named Quinlin. They’ve also worked together quite a bit, with Christine making appearances in Zoolander, both the original movie and the 2016 sequel, and Dodgeball. She also had a small part in 2008’s Tropic Thunder. There’s no word yet on what went wrong with their marriage, and we don’t imagine there will be. Ben and Christine have never really made it in the tabloids, and they’ve been exceedingly private in their relationship. After all, they were together before social media existed — scandals just weren’t as easy to come by in 2000. We imagine that they’ll stay true to their statement and keep things just as classy and private as ever, all while continuing to raise their children together. But we’re not going to lie — this split really hurts. View Slideshow: Celebrity Break-Ups: Who Called It Quits in 2017?

There was a time when the name Tom Cruise conjured images of a megawatt smile and a stack of phone books to make him appear less Hobbit-like in stature. These days, of course, when we think of Cruise, we’re more likely to imagine the Sea Org members chained up in his basement or the ultra-luxurious spaceship that they’re scrambling to finish building in time for the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, at this point, Cruise is less “bankable movie star” and more of “prophet of the Spacelord Xenu.” His role as the face of Scientology takes up a lot of his time, and we’re sure it’s demanding work. Take one hard look at the husk of a man that is Sean Spicer, and you can see the toll that’s exacted by constantly trying to sell total BS to an increasingly skeptical population. But hey, Cruise can do what Cruise wants to do with his time. If he wants to spend his days having his thetans read and avoiding Suppressive Persons, that’s his deal. Unfortunately, it seems one of the SP’s that Tom’s been dodging is none other than his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise. As you’re probably aware, Tom’s divorce from Katie Holmes was a profoundly ugly one, as the actress sought not only to escape her marriage, but also the Scientology community, which tends to hold its adherents’ lives in a Mafia-like vise grip. She succeeded, but only because Cruise agreed to an arrangement in which he and Holmes would completely cut ties. Unfortunately, it seems that also means Cruise has cut ties with Suri . Last year, In Touch reported that Tom hadn’t seen Suri in 1,000 days . Now, the tabloid is reporting that that number has reached 1,346 days and counting . Cruise is currently traveling the globe to promote The Mummy, and his promotional tour recently brought him to within just 23 miles of Suri, who was in Calabasas when Tom was in LA. Sadly, the actor reportedly made no effort to see his daughter, instead hopping a plane to Australia to continue promoting the film. “Tom could have easily made the trip to see Suri. It only takes about 30 minutes without traffic. It would’ve only added a few hours to his busy schedule,” a source tells the magazine. The same insider notes that Tom has not been photographer with Suri since September of 2013. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini
