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.

Khloe Kardashian literally dropped everything and ran to be by estranged husband Lamar Odom's side on Tuesday afternoon.
Khloe was at a photo shoot in Beverly Hills, and as soon as pal Malika Haqq showed up and broke the news of Lamar's condition, the reality starlet skipped out and caught the next plane to Las Vegas. She was joined by big sister Kim and their mom Kris Jenner.
As we previously reported, Lamar was rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious at the Bunny Ranch brothel in Pahrump, Nevada. Though it was initially reported that he was airlifted to Vegas, the Nye County Sheriff told TMZ that medics didn't put the former NBA star in a helicopter due to his height. Instead, he was driven in an ambulance.
Radar says that Lamar was on a "three-day booze and pill bender," but a source tells TMZ, "The girls didn't see him do anything but drink and pop herbal Viagra." A woman at the brothel found Lamar unconscious, and he had a "mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth," according to TMZ. The website also reported that Lamar was intubated, which means he was unable to breathe on his own.

Lamar Odom was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after being found unconscious at the Bunny Ranch brothel in Pahrump, Nevada, according to multiple news outlets.
A source tells TMZ the 35-year-old basketball star arrived at the Ranch on Saturday, and he was reportedly taking an herbal substitute for Viagra. Radar added that Odom was on a "three-day booze and pill bender," but a source tells TMZ, "The girls didn't see him do anything but drink and pop herbal Viagra." Either way, it's not looking good...
A woman went into Odom's room in the VIP suite section of the ranch and found him unconscious. The manager came, called 911, and then rolled Odom over on his side and saw "mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth," according to TMZ. Odom was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors intubated him, and he is being airlifted from that hospital to Las Vegas.

While everyone here at the X17 offices is a Belieber -- not everyone in the outside world appears to be. Justin Bieber's new album, Purpose, is apparently too controversial for Indonesia and several Middle Eastern countries, which are Muslim.
The cover of "Purpose" was released on Friday, which features a bare-chested image of the Biebs. TMZ is reporting that the art has led the album to be banned in Muslim countries because the cover shows him praying and with a cross tattoo.
Bieber's management is reportedly hoping to create some alternate cover images that won't be offensive to the middle eastern countries that are not predominately Christian, like Bieber.
The 21-year-old has recently stepped up his worship and been talking more openly about his love of Jesus Christ, his lord and savior. The "What Do You Mean?" singer told Complex mag, "I just wanna honestly live like Jesus. Not be Jesus – I could never – I don’t want that to come across weird."
Chris Brown and daughter Royalty showed off their dance moves during a recent photoshoot with Lana Del Rey's boyfriend Francesco Carrozzini, and the hip hop bad boy decided to share an adorable clip of the action with his Instagram followers. His little girl grooves to the music while her famous dad mimics her in attempt to keep her going, and dare we say CB seems like a pretty good dad!
The R&B star hinted that the shoot was for his upcoming album cover, and that would make sense considering his new album is named after his little princess. It wasn't all work and no play for the duo, though! The "Turn Up The Music" crooner took the toddler to pet some giraffes at an unspecified petting zoo, and it looks like they had a great time bonding with the wildlife!

You're rehired!
Donald Trump is slated to host an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live -- and we have a feeling it's going to be a real doozy of an episode!
The Donald will be bringing his comedic chops to the sketch comedy show on Nov. 7, right in the middle of sweeps. Good call NBC!
Speaking of which -- we love how NBC was all, You're fired, Donald" for his racist comments. But now that the Republican presidential hopeful is doing well in the polls the network is all -- just kidding!
This isn't his first time we've seen the king of comb overs in the live-comedy hot seat. The business man-turned-reality-star hosted the show back in 2004.

In vino veritas!
Pregnant Kim Kardashian, who was accompanied by her two-year-old daughter Nori and husband Kanye West, joined sister Kourtney, her kids and their mom Kris Jenner for a fun-filled Malibu WInes Safari tour on Sunday. We aren't used to seeing toddlers or pregnant ladies at a winery but that's because this wine tour comes complete with animals -- Zebras, camels, alpacas, bison and even Stanley the Giraffe. Leave it to the Kardashians to make even a vineyard tour wild!
The klan was carted around in a truck that had stadium seating -- literally. That looks like a pretty fun ride, if you ask us! The fam was busy filming some segments for their reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Kylie and Kendall were left at home -- presumably because they are under age -- but not like that's ever stopped them before. Kris also brought along her boytoy Corey Gamble.
For the outing, Kimbo wore an all white ensemble, which she paired with some white athletic shoes. We are glad to see that the very pregnant Kim is finally being sensible and wearing some sneakers!

And we love that she doesn't!
Lady Gaga arrived at LAX on a flight from NYC on Tuesday, and the singer sashayed through the terminal in a fashion forward red and white mod dress with a giant red hat and heels. We love that Gagaloo doesn't resort to frumpy sweatpants and trainers for her travel days!
The singer is winning rave reviews for her role on American Horror Story: Hotel, but she recently revealed that her intense work ethic might be aging her. "I have been in the business since I was 15, and although I have been famous for only seven years and lived 29, I feel like I have lived 100 years,' she told news.com.au.
Prepping for the part has made her relationship with fiance Taylor Kinney stronger, though!
"I just wanted to help my girl prepare the best that she could, so that in itself has helped me just kind of...get immersed in it, in the work, and that translates...the more you talk about it, the more you do it, that stays with you," the actor gushed of running lines with his lady love.
