Kim Kardashian Cancels Her Baby Shower As Lamar Odom Remains In Critical Condition

Posted on Thu Oct 15th, 2015 11:00am PDT       By X17 Staff

She has really stepped up to be the supportive sister.

Kim Kardashian has cancelled her baby shower that was set for this coming weekend as Lamar Odom continues to fight for his life in a Las Vegas hospital, multiple outlets report.

The reality star, mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney and Kendall have been doing everything they can to be there for Khloe as she is faced with making all the medical decisions for her estranged husband.

New reports explain that the NBA star's condition is still critical, but ET claims he did have at least one promising moment with none other than Kimmy K! "There have been a few encouraging moments, including when Odom briefly fluttered open his eyes and squeezed Kim Kardashian's hand," the outlet revealed.

Poor Khloe is "not doing well at all with the responsibilities of making medical decisions," a source told People. "She realizes that these are literally decisions of life and death, and she wasn't prepared to take on this responsibility. She wonders if there was anything more she should have done. Kim has told her that this isn't her fault," the source added.

While almost the whole family rallies around the former Laker, Kim's husband Kanye West is holding down the fort back at home taking care of daughter North and her cousins Mason, Penelope, and Reign.

You have to have respect for the Kardashian clan for the way they are handling this tragedy.

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Lamar Odom's Dad Joe Shops For A Suit After Visiting The Hospital

Posted on Thu Oct 15th, 2015 10:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Lamar Odom's dad, Joe, is currently in Las Vegas to be with his son, but on Wednesday he left Sunrise Hospital and stopped by DXL, a clothing store for tall and large men. X17 photographers snapped Joe just as he was leaving, and while he didn't have much to say, we noticed that he had purchased a suit. Seeing as various reports claim Lamar is currently in a coma and breathing on a ventilator, it would appear as though Joe is planning for a memorial service...

E! News reports that Odom is "in a coma and hasn't woken up or responded," and a hospital source told the website that he appears to have suffered an "ischemic stroke," which is often associated with a cocaine overdose. "So, likely there's brain damage, but they're not sure how much," the source added.

Police released audio recordings of the 911 calls placed by Love Ranch staffers, which is the Nevada brothel were Odom was found unconscious on Tuesday. One of the staffers revealed that Odom had been doing cocaine, and according to Us Weekly, Odom was found to have very high amounts of the drug in his system after a blood panel.

In addition to Joe, Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian are currently with Odom in Las Vegas, along with Kris and Kendall Jenner. Odom's former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant is there as well.

 

Taylor Swift Denies Her Hit "Bad Blood" Is About Nemesis Katy Perry In New GQ Interview

Posted on Thu Oct 15th, 2015 9:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


T-Swizzle's setting the record straight!

Taylor Swift in the cover girl of the latest issue of GQ magazine, and the singer took the opportunity to clear up those Katy Perry feud rumors, insisting "Bad Blood" wasn't specifically about her alleged pop star nemesis.

"You’re in a[n] interview, and the writer says, ‘Who is that song about? That sounds like a really intense moment from your life.’ And you sit there, and you know you’re on good terms with your ex-boyfriend, and you don’t want him—or his family—to think you’re firing shots at him. So you say, ‘That was about losing a friend.’ And that’s basically all you say. But then people cryptically tweet about what you meant. I never said anything that would point a finger in the specific direction of one specific person, and I can sleep at night knowing that. I knew the song would be assigned to a person, and the easiest mark was someone who I didn’t want to be labeled with this song. It was not a song about heartbreak. It was about the loss of friendship," she explained of her hotly speculated about hit.

Don't call Tay Tay "calculating" though!

"I’ve never named names, so I feel like I still have a sense of power over what people say­­­—even if that isn’t true, and even if I don’t have any power over what people say about me. The fact that I’ve never confirmed who those songs are about makes me feel like there is still one card I’m holding. Am I shooting from the hip? Would any of this have happened if I was? … You can be successful for three or four years. Accidents happen. But careers take hard work," she sniped about accusations she carely crafts her image.

The Grammy winner went on to discuss how she believes she's found the key to a last career in the music industry. “When other kids were watching normal shows, I’d watch Behind the Music. And I would see these bands that were doing so well, and I’d wonder what went wrong… And what I established in my brain was that a lack of self-awareness was always the downfall… So self-awareness has been such a huge part of what I try to achieve on a daily basis. It’s less about reputation management and strategy and vanity than it is about trying desperately to preserve self-awareness, since that seems to be the first thing to go out the door when people find success," she revealed.

Lastly, she touched on the media's portrayal of her as a boy crazy psycho who can't hold on to a relationship, and how she gets inspiration for her lyrics from it. "You take your creative license and create things that are larger than life. You can write things like 'I get drunk on jealousy but you’ll come back each time you leave, ‘cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.' That is not my approach to relationships. But is it cool to write the narrative of a girl who’s crazy but seductive but glamorous but nuts but manipulative? That was the character I felt the media had written for me, and for a long time I felt hurt by it. I took it personally. But as time went by, I realized it was kind of hilarious," she confessed.

Sounds like she's shakin' everything off lately!

 

Police Release Lamar Odom 911 Call, Kris And Rob Ask For Prayers

Posted on Wed Oct 14th, 2015 9:37pm PDT       By X17 Staff



Police have released the 911 call from the Love Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, where Lamar Odom was found unconscious by staffers on Tuesday.

An employee at the brothel named Misty told the operator that Odom had "blood coming out of his nose and white stuff," and that he didn't appear conscious. Another employee at the Ranch, Richard Hunter, followed up with a call, and told the operator that Odom had been taking "a bunch" of sexual performance enhancement drugs called "Reload" and that he had done cocaine on Saturday.

Though Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof had previously stated that Odom was taking "herbal Viagra," the FDA notes that "Reload" is dangerous. Police also revealed that they obtained a search warrant for Odom's blood, and Us Weekly reports that “a significant amount of cocaine was found in his system.”

Khloe hasn't posted to social media since the news broke but Kris Jenner posted an Instagram photo of Odom and wrote, “Please pray for Lamar #ourfighter.” Rob Kardashian, who was very close with Lamar, added a photo of the two together and wrote, "Praying nonstop for my Brother!!"

As soon as the news broke, Odom’s estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian rushed to be by Odom’s side. She was joined her sister Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner, and sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner joined the group on Wednesday. We snapped Kourt arriving at the hospital to visit her former brother-in-law just a few hours ago...

 

Scott Disick Enters Rehab For Alcohol And Drug Addiction

Posted on Wed Oct 14th, 2015 1:45pm PDT       By X17 Staff


The Lord is getting the help he needs...

Scott Disick has checked into rehab to deal with his alcohol and substance abuse issues, Us Weekly reports. The news comes just a day after his de-facto former brother-in-law Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel and is now fighting for his life in the hospital. The father-of-three's out of control behavior was a major factor in his split from partner Kourtney Kardashian this past July.

The 32-year-old is receiving treatment at an undisclosed facility in Malibu, despite reports that he flew to Vegas to be with the rest of the K clan at the basketball star's bedside.

The mag claims that the hard partying bad boy had been abusing cocaine, Xanax, and alcohol in the days leading up to him seeking professional help, and had been on downward spiral since the summer. "He does a lot of coke. He takes downers and benzos [benzodiazepined, such as Xanax], which slow your heart after you've sped up. He takes Ativan to knock himself out at the end," a source dished to the outlet.

Let's hope all the Kardashian men pull through!

 

Report: Lamar Odom Has Had Several Strokes, But "Is Still Fighting" For His Life

Posted on Wed Oct 14th, 2015 12:41pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We are praying for Lamar Odom ...but his condition does not look good.

Doctors at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas are telling Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian West that "cocaine and opiates" were found in Odom's system, a source reports to People magazine. The trio of Kardashians were also at the hoopster's bedside all night.

"Lamar is still fighting," the source says. "It's a waiting game right now. The first 48 hours will tell a lot."

In addition, the source added: "It's so sad and the situation is unimaginable. Before Khloé got to the hospital she was inconsolable and now she just wants to be by his side. The Kardashians are his family."

The source also tells the mag that Lamar has "had a couple of strokes" since arriving at the hospital on Tuesday.

Prior to that, he NBA player was found unconscious at the Love Ranch South brothel in Pahrump, Nev. The brothel's owner, Dennis Hof, told Us Weekly the NBA player first arrived at the brothel on Saturday but was found unconscious by two women, Ryder Cherry and Madison, in a VIP suite at around 3 p.m. on Tuesday and called 911. The mag is reporting that the two left him to sleep at 6 AM.

“He said he was just trying to get away from people," Hof said. "So he could have some time to himself without the pressures of being who he is." The owner also said, that there were no signs of drugs but that the athlete “was taking herbal viagra.”

The latest reports of drug use seem to go against the brothel boss' claims ...

We are sad here at X17online since we've been a fan of the troubled basketballer for years. Odom first shot to fame when he had a whirlwind romance with Khloe. Two two were wed on Sept. 27 2009, one month to the day after meeting at a party for Lamar's teammate Metta World Peace. At the time, Lamar was playing for the Lakers. The two had an undeniable love and got their own reality show on E!, Khloe and Lamar. After cheating rumors and rumors of drug abuse, Khloe filed for a separation on Dec. 13, 2013. Their divorce was believed to have been finalized in mid-July 2015 -- but are not officially divorced, the Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed on Wednesday.

UPDATES:
-12:20 PT: Lamar's two children, Destiny and Lamar Jr, have made their way to Las Vegas to be at his side.

-12:25 PT: Sources at the hospital are saying that Lamar has a 50/50 chance of surviving after enduring multiple medical problems ... the apparent result of complications from drug use, reports TMZ. The outlet is reporting that four of Lamar's organs, including his kidneys, are failing and that he's currently on dialysis for kidney failure. The doctors assert that with each organ failure, Lamar's chances of survival dwindle.

-12:36 PT: Reverend Jesse Jackson visited the hospital and said that Lamar's condition was improving and that he had "signs of responsiveness." The reverend said, "Apparently, from what the doctors say, he was much better off today than yesterday - at least there’s some responsiveness now. Yesterday, apparently, he was almost totally unresponsive and today there are signs of responsiveness and to that extent, that’s good news." Jackson added, "We hope that he will somehow summon that championship spirit and rise again."



 

Kourtney Kardashian Looks After Nori As Kim Supports Khloe At Lamar's Hospital Bedside

Posted on Wed Oct 14th, 2015 11:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


She's holding it down on the home front like a good sister should.

Kourtney Kardashian took daughter Penelope and her niece North West to ballet class this morning, and the reality star seemed somber but declined to comment on former brother-in-law Lamar Odom's hospitalization and current condition. It has to be hard for the whole K clan to go through this ordeal, because Lammy was extremely close to all of them and it's such a tragic situation. We can't even imagine how distraught Khloe is!

Unfortunately, Kourt is in the middle of dealing with oddly similar circumstances to Khloe with her ex-partner Scott Disick. Apparently, The Lord is on a downward spiral and mixing alcohol, cocaine, and prescription pills while battling depression. "He does a lot of coke. He takes downers and benzos [benzodiazepined, such as Xanax], which slow your heart after you've sped up. He takes Ativan to knock himself out at the end," a source dished to Us Weekly.

We think the lesson here is that drugs are bad, people.

 

Lamar Odom's Rep Releases Statement, Urges Public To "Not Listen To False Information"

Posted on Wed Oct 14th, 2015 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


We are heartbroken over this, because we always loved Lammy.

There have been numerous reports about Lamar Odom's condition since he was rushed to the hospital in Las Vegas yesterday after being found unconscious at a local brothel, but his rep is pleading with the public not to take every rumor as fact.

“Family and friends are extremely concerned for Lamar. Please don't listen to the false information being circulated unofficially. Please respect the family's privacy during this difficult time," longtime publicist Eve Sarkisyan tells Us in a statement.

Sources at the brothel tell TMZ that there were no outward signs that the troubled basketball player was using drugs other than herbal Viagra, but they did say that his mood drastically changed after receiving a phone call from a pal about the Sunday episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which focused on Khloe's concerns for him. You can watch the clip HERE .

The whole NBA community is praying for Odom, and former teammate Kobe Byrant visited the hospital to pray with Khloe and Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner soon after news broke. Khloe is said to be posted up by her former husband's bedside "inconsolable," while Kris was photographed outside the hospital looking distraught in pictures released this morning. The former Laker star's dad Joe, meanwhile, has pleaded for prayers as he waits for an update on his son's condition at his Marina Del Rey apartment. There are whispers that Scott Disick and Rob Kardashian are also headed to Vegas to be by his side.

"He's been in a downward spiral for a while. It's very scary and sad. Things are very, very bad and everyone is praying he pulls through. Everyone is rushing to be with him," a source dished to Us.

Reports are claiming some of the hoopster's organs are failing and he's in a coma being kept alive by a respirator, but those have been unconfirmed. Kendall Jenner just tweeted "Please don't go," so things aren't sounding good...

UPDATE: TMZ is reporting hospital sources have revealed cocaine was found in Odom's system and he has visible track marks on his arms.
