He got lucky!

Lamar Odom's lawyer appeared in Superior Court in Van Nuys on Monday to plead no contest to a DUI charge on the basketball player's behalf.

The Clippers star, who wasn't required to be present for the hearing, was given three years probation and mandatory enrollment in a three month alcohol education program. Odom was also required to pay $1,800 in fines and penalties.

The California Highway Patrol pulled over the hoopster last August on a San Fernando Valley freeway for driving under the speed limit in a "serpentine manner."

At least he's putting one piece of bad press behind him!

Violet, Seraphina and Samuel are all growing up so fast!

On Sunday Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck took their three children to Brentwood Country Mart, and while Jen had a blast shopping with Samuel, Ben had his hands full with the couple's two daughters. Ben will be home for the holidays, but after that it's back to work, as he will begin shooting Live by Night, which he's directing and starring in.

And speaking of work, remember that time Ben told Details, "I don't want to be a stay-at-home dad"? Because um, we do! He immediately added, "Work is very important to me. I like to work. So does my wife. But I need my work to mean something to me in order for me to not be home with them," but we we have to wonder if he's ever regretted that interview...

Heidi Klum took her daughters Leni and Lou to dance class over the weekend, and later the ladies (and Heidi's beau Martin Kristen) grabbed lunch at Cecconi's. Leni and friends all wore matching leopard jackets and blue pants, and over the weekend Heidi also took the ladies on another adventure ... to the skating rink! Heidi tweeted a pic of herself and wrote, "Not sure who had more fun ice skating...... the kids or me!!!!"

In other news, Klum recently revealed that she will no longer be strutting down the runway in her skivvies. "I wouldn't model with my underwear down the runway anymore," she told Access Hollywood. "I think I would find it a little uncomfortable, maybe ... I still do photo shoots for [magazine] covers and different things or advertising stuff."

P.S. Heidi should totally wear her hair up more often! We def dig this 'do:

He's kinda got a point! Then again, most kids in school aren't touring the world, allegedly shacking up with Brazilian hookers and getting detained by customs agents at every other international border...

Bieber phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest from Australia on Monday morning, and he talked about his new music, his upcoming documentary Believe and how he handles the haters.

Justin has done over 150 concerts this year, and every time he lands somewhere new, chaos seems to ensue. "A lot of stuff has been confused," Bieber told Seacrest. "I’ve been on tour … so no one really knows what I’m doing out here."

He added:

"People don’t get to see me living as a 19-year-old boy … I’m still finding myself and when I have the media attacking me everyday, it’s no [different] than bullying that happens in school … I think this movie really shows who I am as a person … of course I make mistakes growing up … and I’m not perfect … people forget I’m a human being [and] I have to make mistakes and grow stronger.”

So what does he have to say about holiday plans, pulling his pants up and his tattoos? Click the player below and to listen to the full interview!

Maybe social media is her only way to reach her estranged husband?!

Khloe Kardashian has had a rough couple months as she tries to save her marriage to Lamar Odom, and the reality star has been posting several cryptic messages to her various social media platforms along the way, which possibly indicate where she stands in regards to an upcoming divorce.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star posted a beautiful photo of herself to Instagram over the weekend with the caption, "Judge nothing by appearance alone. The more beautiful the serpent, the more fatal its sting. Look into her eyes and see her soul. Eventually her sould will reflect and beauty you will possess."

In another post, the brunette beauty shared a musing titled "Dear Human", which details the intricacies of love and offers soothing advice.

We feel so sorry for Khlo!

Katy Perry covers the new issue of Marie Claire, and not only does she look amazing, but she has some pretty interesting things to say about her split from Russell Brand.

It's been almost two years since Brand famously texted her and told her he wanted a divorce, and though Katy has since moved on to John Mayer, she recalls how painful that time was. "There were two weeks of my life after I found out the truth of my marriage where I was like, 'OK. All right. I can't feel this. This is too intense right now,'" Perry said. "I was, like, just eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos and drinking, and that's it."

Katy previously admitted that she contemplated taking her own life, and she added, "There are two ways you can go: You can either nurture yourself or go destructive. I have gone down the destructive path before, and that didn't work for me. You dig deep beyond those scars and find that soft tissue again, and you massage and nurture it and bring it to life, little by little, through serving yourself well. I did it through hikes and vitamins and therapy and prayer and good friends."

So what does she have to say about her current beau? "He's just a fantastic partner," she gushed of Mayer. "I've been a fan of his for such a long time. He's got a brilliant, brilliant mind … It's a rad, mature relationship." We couldn't be happier for her!

Looks like it was ladies only on Sunday afternoon!

Simon Cowell threw his pregnant girlfriend Lauren Silverman a baby shower at his Beverly Hills home on Sunday, but when guests started arriving, the music mogul took off in his $1.7 million Bugatti. Sounds about right! But the other day he made a remark that he's only driven the car twice in the three years he's had it, which doesn't sound right, seeing as X17 photographers have snapped him in it at least 4 times since 2010...

Anyway, guests included Simon's ex-girlfriends Mezhgan Hussainy and Terri Seymour, and according to Us Weekly, everyone was treated to "an English tea party-themed bash in Cowell's back garden, complete with mini sandwiches, cakes, and tea." After lunch, Silverman opened gifts, and a source tells the mag, "He's already got a wardrobe to rival any A-lister. There were piles of beautiful newborn clothes -- plenty of hats, super-soft onesies...someone had bought him a tiny pair of shoes, too."

While Simon was gone for most of the day, the mag reveals that he did stop by right before the party ended. "They seem to really be in love," an insider added. "I've never seen him like that before."

Think they're gonna get married?

Too cute!

Pink took daughter Willow on a shopping spree in the Big Apple yesterday, and we can't get over how much the little girl looks like her mama!

The duo was joined by the singer's husband Carey Hart, but he lingered in the background and let his ladies take center stage.

Speaking of the stage, the Grammy winner is currently in New York City for her "The Truth About Love" tour. On top of work and family time, the married rockstar is set to receive the Woman of the Year Award during the 2013 Billboard Women in Music event.

Her hubby couldn't be more proud, either!

"So so so so proud of my wife. She has not only had a kick ass year, but has been busting her ass harder than anyone in this business for the last 14 yrs. I'm just happy that she is finally getting the praise that she deserves. You deserve it baby, and i couldn't be more proud of you. Enjoy it. @pink,' he wrote after posting the below pic of his lady love.

Who would have thought she'd become a domesticated diva!
