SMH: Lamar Odom Was Popped By One-Time For Solicitation Of A Street Walker Back In 1997

All Lamar’s dirty laundry is coming out. Lamar Odom Arrested For Solicitation Of A Street Walker Back In 1997 Poor Khloe. According to Radar Online Lamar Odom‘s arrest for DUI on Friday morning wasn’t his first time behind bars. The troubled NBA star was arrested in 1997 for solicitation of a [street walker] in Las Vegas, and wife Khloe Kardashian has been unaware of the Sin City incident, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. In 1997, Odom had moved to Las Vegas to play basketball for the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. While out with a friend that summer, “Lamar approached a woman he believed to be a street walker,” a source with knowledge of the situation told Radar. “When Lamar solicited her for sex, he was immediately arrested because the woman was actually an undercover cop, and was conducting a sting in the area. He used bad judgment, and was only goofing around with his friend. Lamar was 17 at the time, and was trying to show off for his friends.” The case was ultimately dismissed and Odom paid a small fine. He never played basketball for UNLV after Sports Illustrated raised questions about the validity of his ACT scores. UNLV released Odom from his scholarship in the wake of the testing scandal, and he refused to ever address it. Sources tell Radar that Khloe “has been absolutely unaware of the [street walker solicitation] arrest. Lamar never felt the need to tell her because it happened so long ago, and he was acting like a punky stupid teenager. Khloe has put Lamar on a pedestal during their marriage, and he didn’t want her to ever know about it.” Calls seeking comment to Odom’s camp weren’t immediately returned. Khloe, it’s time sign them papers. Wenn

Scottie Pippen: Off the Hook For Malibu Beatdown

NBA Hall of Fame member Scottie Pippen has been cleared in the incident this summer in which he got into a fight with an overzealous fan in Malibu. Scottie Pippen Knocks Out Fan The 47-year-old Pippen mixed it up with autograph seeker who authorities say was drunk and exaggerated his injuries including faking seizures. Thus, the L.A. County district attorney’s office said there was insufficient evidence to bring assault charges against Pippen for the altercation. Camran Shafighi approached him at Nobu, a sushi restaurant and celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu, back on June 24, reports indicate. Pippen obliged to have a photo taken with Shafighi, but the man followed the basketball great to the parking lot badgering him for an autograph as well. Pippen said no, at which point told Shafighi became irate, “grabbing at him, cursing him and then spit in his face,” according to a report by the D.A. Shafighi, 49, claimed Pippen punched him in the mouth and kicked him several times, causing him to lose consciousness with a kick to the face. Pippen admitted spitting at Shafighi and pushing him away, but prosecutors said it was unclear if Pippen was the aggressor or acted in self-defense. Shafighi, who has also filed a $4 million lawsuit against Pippen, was taken to a hospital with a concussion … he claims. That is highly debatable. All tests showed there wasn’t any internal trauma, but Shafighi went to the hospital later and said he had been diagnosed with fractured ribs and ankle. The only visible physical injuries were a small bruise on Shafighi’s chin and a cut to his lip, and then there’s the fact that the guy was WASTED. Shafighi, whose blood sample turned up positive for opiates and a 0.18 percent blood-alcohol level, also feigned having seizures to prove his “case.” The seizures ended when the doctor ordered him to stop them.

Lamar Odom Missing; Drug Binge Feared By Family and Friends

Lamar Odom has reportedly gone missing, and given the rumors that have surfaced in the last 48 hours, those close to the NBA star are fearing the worst. The 33-year-old husband of Khloe Kardashian vanished a few days ago, after she threw him out of the house. No one has had contact with him since. While the Khloe Kardashian divorce rumors have escalated for weeks, they centered around his alleged cheating. But that apparently isn’t all. We’ve since learned that his marriage to Khloe was likely in worse shape than previously imagined – due to Lamar Odom’s crack cocaine addiction . A staged intervention this week failed, at which point Khloe kicked him out. No one on her side or Lamar’s side of the family has seen him in 72 hours. Their concern? He is in the midst of a drug binge. The NBA star has battled addiction for at least two years now; Odom strongly resisted rehab prior to the 2012-13 season, but did eventually go. He bailed after three weeks, but managed to stay clean and play well for the L.A. Clippers. Once the NBA season ended, though, he went off the rails. His drug addiction is said to be the core reason why his marriage to Khloe has fallen apart, although she thinks the cheating rumors are true as well. To reiterate, it is not clear where Lamar is. No one knows if he is doing drugs or not. But family and friends (and obviously his wife) are very concerned . Hopefully, Khloe Kardashian or someone in either of their families can establish his whereabouts, make sure he’s alright and get him the help he needs.

Ryan Anderson to Gia Allemand: I Miss You!!

Ryan Anderson misses his late girlfriend Gia Allemand. Every minute of every day. He made this clearer than ever in a Twitter tribute he posted. The NBA player posted a photo of himself and The Bachelor star, writing: “Every second of everyday, I miss you Petrie. I feel lost without you but find strength knowing that you are in Heaven. Rest in peace my love.” The tweet came a day after Anderson joined Gia Allemand ‘s family and friends at her funeral in New York. Gia took her own life earlier this month. Anderson had found Allemand unconscious in mid-August in her New Orleans home after she apparently hanged herself with a vacuum cord . She was taken to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced dead. Ryan Anderson told investigators that he and Allemand had argued through lunch on August 12 “over her suspicions that he had been unfaithful to her.” This resulted in the New Orleans Pelicans player, who had already been fighting a lot with Allemand, telling Gia, “I don’t love you anymore.” The athlete told police that he arrived at Allemand’s house 20 minutes after receiving a worried message from her mother and found her unconscious. A vacuum cleaner cord was “wrapped around her neck many times.” After Allemand’s passing, Anderson said in a statement that Gia “was the most beautiful person” he knew and had “an amazing impact on my life.” “Anyone who knew her was blessed. All I have left is to cherish the memories we made and help perpetuate the values, faith and love that we shared.”

Khloe Kardashian-Lamar Odom Divorce Rumors: Drug Abuse AND Cheating to Blame?!

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s marriage is on the rocks, and it looks like more than just idle gossip about Jennifer Richardson and Polina Polonsky. Reports say he has a serious drug problem. The 33-year-old NBA player has battled drug addiction for two years, and it reached the point last summer where she pressured him to go to rehab. He did so, but Khloe Kardashian was so skeptical of his sincerity that she hired private investigators to wait outside 24/7 to make sure he didn’t bail. After three weeks and at least that many arguments over him leaving, he bolted for good, but did reportedly stay clean through the 2012-13 NBA season. When the season ended this spring though, Lamar’s recreational drug use returned. As for the persistent cheating rumors that have dogged him? Both Jennifer Richardson and Polina Polonsky have gone on the record, and into detail, claiming they had sexual relationships with the NBA star. Khloe believes Lamar did in fact cheat on her, but feels that’s almost secondary to his drug problem, which she’s treating as the primary concern. It’s that bad. “Khloe is more concerned about saving Lamar than ending her marriage,” a source tells TMZ, adding that Kim Kardashian ‘s younger sister is not divorcing him. At least not yet. She hasn’t hired a lawyer (nor as he), and she recently posted a pointed message to the haters , telling them simply not to judge. And get this: Khloe and her entire family are believed to have staged an intervention last week, trying to convince Lamar Odom to go back to rehab. He was not receptive to the idea, and so after the intervention failed, Khloe threw Lamar out of the house. Odom was seen putting some stuff in a friend’s car. Crazy stuff, and certainly not encouraging for Khlomar, though if you’re looking for a silver lining, it’s clear she does not want to throw in the towel. Some people might get married just for TV ratings, then end it after 72 days, but this is not that. Khloe is willing to forgive a lot … IF Lamar cares. It sounds serious, and if they do split, it won’t be for lack of effort. Story developing … comment and vote below, THGers: Khloe and Lamar: Should she divorce him?   Yes, he’s obviously a cheater! No, they can work it out! View Poll »
