Star Wars: The Force Awakens is less than two months away -- and this trailer is basically melting the Internet. Fans all over the world can't wait to dive back into the Star Wars universe -- and we can't blame them!
Episode VII, which is directed by J.J. Abrams, takes fans back to a galaxy far, far away -- a tumultuous galaxy in which there are still light sabers a plenty, some new heroes and of course some old favorites, including Chewie and Han Solo. Much to our delight, the Millennium Falcon captain and his furry friend are back in the newest installation of the Star Wars saga. Seeing Han Solo on screen is sure to send fans into a frenzy, as it it the first time Solo has been on film since 1983's Return of The Jedi.
In the new two-minute and 35-second trailer, we meet Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, who is described on the official Star Wars site as a “resilient survivor, a scavenger toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku.â€
We also get to see the first glimpse of the film's chief villain, Kylo Renn (Girls' Adam Driver), whom J.J. Abrams described as a "Empire fanboy."
We love seeing Harrison Ford back as Han Solo. It's a thrill to see Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia as well. But of course we noticed that Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker is nowhere to be seen -- but what ya gonna do?
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is in theaters on Dec. 18.

Well, we saw this coming!
Khloe Kardashian has reportedly put her four month relationship with NBA star James Harden on an indefinite hold in the wake of Lamar Odom's overdose and hospitalization, TMZ reports. The reality star has been by the troubled athlete's side since he was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel last Tuesday, and rumor has it she plans to be by his side for his entire recovery, which could take many months. Basically, Khlo still deeply loves Lam Lam and there's no time for poor James.
Odom is facing a kidney transplant in the near future if his organs continue to fail, but as of now he is undergoing 6 hours of dialysis a day to combat the problem. All of his other vitals have bounced back, but "his kidneys are shot," according to a source for the site. The former Laker is now receiving his treatment at Cedars-Sinai medical center for more specialized care.

Ouch!
Gwen Stefani debuted her new song "Used to Love You" at the MasterCard Priceless Surprises concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom over the weekend, and it certainly sounds like it was written about her split with Gavin Rossdale.
"I just want to share a song that I wrote recently. This song is really special," she told the crowd. With lyrics like "I don’t know why I cry / But I think it’s cause I remember for the first time / Since I hated you / That I used to love you;" "I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you†and “I guess nobody taught you how to love," it seems the blonde beauty is turning her heartache into hits!
The No Doubt songstress confessed that the songwriting process has definitely cathartic for her. "I needed to go through what I needed to go through to write the record that I needed to write. There was a lot of prayer and meditating in the sense of trying to be open and grateful with this record. These songs are really natural — they’re from not worrying about what happened or what’s going to happen but about living in the moment, from trying to be present and trying to feel," she told EW.

Mon dieu!
Olivier Martinez is being sued by an LAX employee who claims the French actor unnecessarily shoved him to the ground with a car seat back in January, TMZ reports.
Ronaldo Owens maintains he wasn't in the way of the Hollywood star and his wife Halle Berry when he was attacked, and he now wants $5 million in damages. He filed a police report after the incident, but in April it was reported that the LA city attorney declined to prosecute Martinez. In the civil suit, Owens is blaming the Monster's Ball actress for masterminding the whole ordeal and giving her husband free reign to do as he deemed necessary.

It's truly a miracle that he went from death's doorstep to walking and talking - and flying! - in under a week!
Lamar Odom flew back to L.A. with Khloe Kardashian by his side to continue receiving treatment today, and we caught him arriving via helicopter at Cedars Sinai medical center this evening. The reality star has vowed to be by her estranged husband's side for the entirety of his rehab, which could take months, so they ditched Vegas to be closer to her home base.
TMZ is reporting that although the NBA star is expected to survive, he is by no means out of the woods yet. The troubled athlete will be receiving ongoing care and quite possibly could have permanent bodily damage from this health scare.

Let's hope he got permission for this!
We caught reclusive Rob Kardashian driving around in Los Angeles today, and we might have missed him if he hadn't been driving sister Khloe's very recognizable velvet Range Rover. The reluctant reality star kept the tinted windows rolled up, but we still consider this to be progress. After all, it doesn't seem like he's left the house in months, so the fact that he's at least going somewhere is a good sign.
The current situation with Lamar Odom is undoubtedly hard on the youngest of the K clan, who shared an extremely close relationship with the NBA star when he was still married to Khlo. He's been tweeting his support for his former brother-in-law, but he's the only one of the family (other than Caitlyn!) that hasn't made the journey out to Las Vegas to see the troubled athlete. We can't expect him to love the limelight overnight I guess!

Leaving Las Vegas!
Lamar Odom will be moved to an LA rehabilitation center later this week to continue treatment, Us Weekly reports. "Khloe [Kardashian] and Kris [Jenner] decided to move Lamar to a rehab center in L.A. so they can all be closer to him," a source dished to the mag.
The basketball star's condition has continued to improve since he overdosed at a brothel on October 13, although he still has a long road of recovery ahead. "He's still getting better little by little. The doctors are starting to talk about plans for what happens when he gets out and that's how rehab came up, but he still has a ways to go," the source added.
Khloe doesn't plan on abandoning him anytime soon, either! "Khloe is committed to staying with him. Everyone is so happy he's alive but taking it very carefully (as you know anything can turn towards the worst again). It's a slow process but Khloe is there every step of the way, and her family is supporting her and Lamar's family is there too. It's all been so draining and emotional," the insider revealed.
One person who isn't loving the Kardashian clan's smothering support of the NBA star? His former teammate Metta World Peace!
"The only Kardashian that needs to be there is Khloe. Not every Kardashian needs to be around. They need to keep it simple, so Lamar’s children can see him whenever they want to see him. They’re waiting in line to see their own father," he sniped to the Los Angeles Daily News.
At least if Lam Lam comes back to LA, poor Khloe doesn't have to be stuck in Sin City for months on end!

Well that didn't take long...
Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian obviously think Lamar Odom is going to pull through his near death experience, because they are back to documenting every move they make on social media. Kourt showed off a snap of herself at the gym, while Kyls and her friend Stassi kicked back in onesies at her house. Fascinating!
The whole family vowed to take a break from Instagram, Twitter, their apps and basically any online media presence after news broke that Lamar overdosed in a Las Vegas brothel, but now that everyone can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it seems they've had a change of heart.
The mother-of-three explained that workouts help with her anxiety, and we don't blame her for having some jitters. After all, baby daddy Scott Disick is currently getting treatment at a rehab in Malibu for his out of control partying, so she's doing all the parenting solo.
It's so hard incredibly easy to keep up with the Kardashians!
