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.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Khloe Kardashian Ditches Photo Shoot And Rushes To Vegas To Be With Lamar Odom

Posted on Wed Oct 14th, 2015 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


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.

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.

Justin Bieber's New Album, Purpose, To Be "Banned In Some Muslim Countries"

Posted on Tue Oct 13th, 2015 1:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


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."

This actually makes us like Breezy way more!

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!
