Lamar, Khloe is your last lifeline. Lamar Complaining Khloe Acts Like His Mother Lamar needs someone to perform a captain save a ho because he’s going down fast. The dirty doggin’ with sloppy white chicks messed up his image, but smoking rocks will kill him if he doesn’t stop soon. According to Radar Online Lamar Odom is complaining to friends that his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian acts like his mother, RadarOnline.com has been told. Even though the couple of four years are no longer living under the same roof, “Khloe calls all the shots in Lamar’s life,” said the insider. “She makes sure his assistant gets paid and is contact with Lamar on almost a daily basis,” the source told Radar. “It has always been this way in their marriage. Khloe is extremely controlling, almost to the point of Lamar feeling suffocated. It’s no secret Lamar loves candy and Khloe would nag him constantly about it when she was attempting to lose weight earlier this year. It wasn’t about the candy, it was about Khloe getting her way, always. Lamar refused to give it up. He complained, ‘She acts like she’s my mother.’” Adding to the dynamic of Khloe, 30, “wearing the pants in the relationship” is that Odom, 33, defers to Khloe for everything in his life. “From what to wear, business deals, you name it, Lamar consults her for everything,” the source said. “So, for as much as Lamar complains about Khloe’s controlling ways, he contributes to it as well and needs to own it.” Nightmare marriage. As the coupled celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary against the backdrop of his drug addiction and serial infidelities, the youngest Kardashian sister was telling friend she was still prepared to save the marriage. “She wants him to get better, but there is a lot to work out,” one insider told PEOPLE. “She’s taking everything one day at a time and concentrating on herself. The source said that the E! star is still processing the news that Odom was unfaithful and heavily into drugs, saying the former hostess of The X Factor “never thought she would be in this position.” Said the insider: “Two years ago she would have thought they’d be happily married with kids. It’s been so hard to carry this secret and try to save not only Lamar but their marriage. It’s taken a toll but she’s one fierce lady.” Another source told Radar: “Both Khloe and Lamar need to own their issues and how it contributed to the current state of their marriage. “Khloe was very impulsive and got engaged to Lamar after only one month, which wasn’t a good decision,” they said. “She likely ignored big warning signs because she wanted to be married to a very successful professional basketball player. Lamar isn’t the only one with the issues.” Poor Lamar, when you marry into the Kardashian clan, be prepared for your life to be taken over: Invasion of the Body Snatchers style. Guess Lamar couldn’t have candy so he turned to smoking rocks. SMH.
Melissa Gorga has responded to critics of her new, controversial book. With many readers believing the reality star is advocating some form of marital rape – due to a passage written by husband Joe in which he tells men that their wife “wants to be taken” – Gorga tells E! News: “That word [rape] is so disgusting to me and that’s horrible. Does Melissa Gorga Advocate Marital Rape? Melissa and Joe both talk about women being subordinate to their men in “Love Italian Style,” yet Melissa says critics are taken their words out of context. “My book is about mutual respect with your partner, for one another,” Gorga says . “It’s about honesty, it’s about loyalty, it’s about making your partner first in your life. Where that word comes into play, to me, is awful and disgusting, to be honest with you.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member also writes about wives allowing their husbands to yell at them (as a stress reliever), while also saying they ought to do housework (to “stay grounded”). “Listen, I knew it was going to be controversial, there was no doubt in my mind,” Gorga says. “But it’s about my marriage and what works for us. And it does work for us and I think there are some really great tips in there.” As for the advice she gives when it comes to the bedroom? “It’s about being aggressive and trying new things in the bedroom. That’s what it’s about.” Why anyone would care about Melissa Gorga’s take on this or anything else, that’s a whole other story.
We wouldn’t quite call this a “scandal,” but Harrison might need a fixer. According to RadarOnline, actor Columbus Short is divorcing his wife of eight years, Tuere.…
Dear Bossip , I’m in need of advice. I got married two years ago. A few months later I got pregnant. My husband didn’t have a job and we got evicted. He moved in with his family and I left the state. When I left I was 7 months pregnant. I had my 8-year old daughter, a small suitcase of clothes, and 32 dollars in my pocket. I didn’t know how or what was going to happen, but I knew my children and I would be okay. It wasn’t easy, but a mouth later I had a place. I didn’t have a job and nobody was going to hire me at 8months. I started going to Goodwill to work for store credit. I was finally established and ready to give birth. When I had the baby I was alone. Nobody was there and my husband didn’t come. Three weeks later I took the baby to meet him. Two months later he moved in. Now, I’m not the one to take care of a man, but I felt like I should try to work it out. Another thing is I fuss a lot! So, I rode him daily about getting a job. Eight months later he has a death in his family. His family doesn’t like me and always insult me. He tells me that it’s my fault and even told me not to answer my phone when they call and he isn’t around. So, my husband tells me not to come to the funeral. I stayed home. The morning of the funeral he called and said he would call afterward. He never called so I texted him and he said he was at the after party! (The person who died was 80 something and never partied). Well, he never called and later said he was with family and they told him not to call. So, a few days later he gets a job and tells me he didn’t get one because I nag too much. And, I wouldn’t give him sex. He had to sleep on the couch. I’m pretty sure I blew a gasket. I work to provide and he lay up while I struggle to buy diapers and formula. I didn’t have sex with him because I don’t want more kids and feel like I am worth more than that. He claims he will be back next month but I don’t want him to come back. I feel like a dumba** for supporting him when I could have given more to my children. I am pissed and mad at myself for putting up with it. I don’t know what to do. He told me he would take my baby if I divorce him. But, honestly I am not ready to go to court or have the money for it. His family will pay for his lawyer. So how should I handle this? – Mrs. Dumbfounded Dear Mrs. Dumbfounded , Well, like R. Kelly sang, “When a woman’s fed up, it ain’t nothing you can do about it!” You’ve made up your mind. You’re tired. You’re over it, and him. And, you’ve stopped having sex with him, and you don’t want him to come back home. You’ve gotten back on your feet after he left you when you got evicted and you were 8 months pregnant. Now, that right there should have been the cause for you to file the divorce papers from the beginning. Next time he calls tell him to kiss the inside of your a** and have several seats on the slow bus. How the hell can your own husband leave you and go to his family’s home and not bring you with him after you were evicted because his non-working mofo a** didn’t have a job? He made that –ish up! And, despite the family not liking you, or whatever feelings they have about you, but for your husband to leave a pregnant wife and move in with his family and leave you to your own devices is a trifling no nuts having son-of-a-bish! Hell, I don’t blame you for not sleeping with him. You should have Al Greened his a** and poured some hot grits on him while he was sleeping on the couch! Then, after you pull yourself together, get back on your feet, and you get a new place he wants to bring his no-having-unskilled-unqualified-bum-a** back home and move in? And, he still doesn’t have a job, and wants you to do your wifely duty?!?! Girl, you are better than me! But, hold on, when a family death occurs in his family he tells you not to attend the funeral. Huh?!? That’s when you should have said, “When you leave. Stay! Don’t come back! Keep your a** right there, and don’t even think about coming back to MY house!” Yeah, it appears that his family truly has a big hold on him, and dictates to him what he should and should not do, especially in his relationship with you. Therefore, I say stick to your guns, get the divorce, tell him not to come home, and get you a lawyer. There are some lawyers who will take on your case as part of their pro bono case. Pro bono means they will represent you for free and you don’t have to pay them as it is part of their offices community service programs. You just have to call around to find a lawyer who will do so, or seek out a women’s group/organization that can help be of assistance to you. I also strongly suggest you that you prance right on over to the courthouse and file for child custody, and child support immediately. He has a job now, so he needs to be contributing financially to his children’s welfare and well-being. Put him on child support IMMEDIATELY! Don’t wait. Don’t hesitate. Don’t procrastinate. Do it today. And, if he wants to allow his family to dictate and run his life, then you stay two steps ahead of them and do all that you can to protect yourself and your child. And, I seriously doubt that he can file and get custody of your child when he was the one who left you. He is the one who had no job, allowed you to get evicted, moved in with his family, and left you alone. So, you have more of a leg to stand on in court than he does. But, you need to document and get all this in writing with the timeline of events. Then, go to Goodwill and have them give you some documentation showing that you worked in their store while pregnant, earning store credit, and a record of your employment record. Document and keep copies of all this and take it to court with you. Ma’am, stick to your guns, don’t let him back into your home, and remain on track with your plan. Don’t deter, veer off, or get sidetracked. Keep your sanity. You’re going to need to be wise and smart. Listen to your lawyer, and keep doing everything according to plan. You do deserve better. You deserve a man who is not going to walk out on you and leave you when times get hard. You need a man who is going to stand by your side, protecting you, building with you, and a support system you can depend on. And, right now, HE IS NOT THAT MAN! Release him, and your life will get easier and better without him. You’ve already experienced that when he left the first time. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Jesus take the wedding ring… Woman Pushes Her Husband Off Of A Cliff One Week After Marriage A deranged newlywed woman could now face life in prison after she admitted to pushing her husband of one week to his death off of a cliff during a heated argument about their marriage. via Fox News A newlywed wife was charged on Monday with second-degree murder for allegedly pushing her husband off a cliff in Glacier National Park during an argument just a week after they married. Jordan Linn Graham, 22, could face life in prison if convicted in the death of 25-year-old Cody Lee Johnson. Charging documents suggest Graham was having second thoughts about getting married around the time her husband’s body was discovered. Graham has told an FBI agent that she and her husband had been arguing on July 7 as they walked in the Loop Trail area of the park. At one point, she turned to walk away, but Johnson grabbed her arm, she said. She turned around, removed his hand from her arm and “due to her anger, she pushed Johnson with both hands in the back, and as a result, he fell face first off the cliff,” an affidavit states. Johnson was reported missing on July 8 when he failed to show up for work. Graham later reported that she had spotted his body. More details surrounding this case suggest that the woman had long expressed her marriage regrets and told family and friends that she “just wanted a wedding,” but didn’t really want to be married. This bish belongs in a looney bin….SMH. Continue reading →
Have you ever purposefully avoided the bad part of town? Most likely, but now an app that purportedly helps you accomplish just that has come under heavy scrutiny and even faces racism allegations. Ghetto Tracker The Ghetto Tracker app – seriously, that was its name – allows locals to rate the safety of cities, towns and neighborhoods so that visitors will know where to avoid. It has since been renamed Good Part of Town following the inevitable backlash, but critics claim that the app is classist at best and racist at worst. The app does not use any racial demographics to tell you which areas to avoid, but some say it helps the rich avoid the poor and perpetuate stereotypes. Detractor David Holmes says it’s “detrimental to society when we reinforce the idea that poor, crime-heavy areas are places to be categorically avoided or shamed.” “As if to assume every person who lives in an area with comparatively high crime or poverty is a criminal, or that these areas are devoid of culture or positivity.” Proponents of the app say that if an area is known for a lot of crime, the data speaks for itself and the user is free to draw his or her own conclusion. If crime statistics are higher in one town than another, it doesn’t mean everyone there is bad, or that it lacks any merit, but more crime may still occur. On the other hand, user “ratings” may be based on any number of things. If going by stereotypes rather than hard data, could one do more harm than good? What do you think? Does Ghetto Tracker/Good Part of Town provide a useful service, or foster hostilities and divisiveness that hinders prosperity?
