REPORT-Khloe Reveals It’s Likely Not a End for Khloe & Lamar, Scores Forbes Top 100 Celebrity List; Plus Scott Disick Has Pre-Kourtney Sex Tapes??
Oh Kartrashians…you say one thing and then do another. Perhaps that is why you are ridiculously hated rich, while I just have the privilege of writing about you. Me? I say one thing, and then, well, do it. Even it’s just taking out the trash. “I’m taking out the trash.” And then I take out the trash. But that’s just me, and my example regarding trash is in no way a comparison to your empire. Or is it?
Just when you were regaining the tiniest smidgen of respect for Khloe Kardashian for shelving Khloe and Lamar in order to work on her marriage, you may want to rethink your stance. HollywoodLife.com reminds us that Khloe and her famewhoring sisters stopped by Jay Leno this week, where Khloe dropped a bomb I was totally not expecting.
She told Jay, “I understand people have to sell magazines, but I didn’t pull the plug on any show, it’s not ending. I just said I wanted the summer for ourselves and to be with family and spend time his kids. Tryouts are in the first week of July. They only take 12, but to be in the top 12 is like a Grammy nomination. I didn’t pull the plug, let’s just call it a hiatus.” So does this mean there is a future for Khloe and Lamar? Granted, it’s the only Kardashow I actually don’t hate myself for watching, but I was so proud to see her bucking Kris Jenner the system that I hate to see her back pedal. But I guess it’s in the genes, so I can’t fault her much.

Meanwhile, those all-knowing “sources” are talking to RadarOnline.com about Khloe’s hopes for her basketballer hubby and their future. The site reports, “Khloe is telling friends that Lamar [Odom] must make the Olympic team — for the sake of his career and their future together. He has been training non-stop to get in the best shape possible and will do anything to make the cut.”
“Lamar has tremendous respect for the Olympic head coach, Mike Krzyewski, and he knows what he has to do to get ready. Khloe is also training with Lamar to give him confidence and she is really being as supportive as she can.” We all know the couple that trains together films their lives for everyone to mock together, right?
“Khloe thinks the only thing that will get Lamar out of the funk he is in is to make it into the team, because it isn’t just about basketball when talking about the Olympics,” continues the insider. “Lamar has represented his country at the World Championships previously and he was so very proud and honored to do so, and Khloé wants that for him again.”
“To be a part of something like the Olympics is a once in a lifetime experience. Lamar knows he wouldn’t be a starter, and he is ok with that, he just wants to contribute in any way he can.” Let’s all just call a spade a spade. Lamar is doing his darndest to get as far from Kris and her reality empire as possible, even if it means riding the bench in the summer games. A medal is a medal, people, and I, for one, hope to see him competing this summer in London.
The source claims that Khloe is concerned about her husband’s funk in light of recent events, and she’s all about ensuring that things turn around for the former NBA star. After all , with sister Kim now dating a rapper, Khloe needs to make sure Lamar remains relevant in basketball. The source shares, “Khloe thinks the best way for Lamar to get a new deal with a NBA team is if pro coaches were to see how he performs at the Olympics. Lamar would love to sign a new deal with either the Lakers or Clippers, because Los Angeles is his home, but he loves the game so much that he will go where he is needed. Lamar isn’t ready to retire, period.”
Thankfully, in addition to Khloe, Lamar has Duke’s Coach K on his side. As an ACC fan who cringes at the site of a Blue Devil, you have no idea how difficult that was to type. Regardless, Coach K recently stated, “Lamar has been a part of our pool. Guys that have competed they earn equity. Lamar was our second leading scorer in Istanbul. We would not have won the World Championships without him. I think, for most players, there are certain bumps and certain things happen throughout their career. They aren’t playing well, they are hurt, and we’ll get a chance to determine his status when we start training camp. He is a part of our pool and we have a great relationship with Lamar.” In all seriousness, that has to make Lamar feel great. I think he deserves to continue doing what he loves, and I hope he and Khloe will remain a strong couple…and I also hope he isn’t pulled back into the Kardashian’s reality world until he’s fulfilled his basketball dreams.
And why should Khloe care about whether he’s filming with her? She’s doing fine in the business world on her own. The tallest and most outspoken of the Kardashian sisters recently placed a respectable 73rd on Forbes Top 100 celebrity list, pulling in a not-too-shabby 11 million dollars. Wha?? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not shocked at what she raked in last year, but I’m shocked at how little effort it takes for a reality celeb to see more money in one year than I’d see if I was granted two hundred lifetimes. But I’m not jealous…#lies.
Touted by Forbes as a very savvy business woman, Khloe insists that she won’t hawk anything that comes across her path (perhaps she share that advice with Kim–ahem, Sketchers). She states, “Look, I get approached with the craziest things to endorse or work on. But [if I don't like the product] it’s like ‘absolutely not.’ I’ve been a business person before we had these shows and I’ll be a business person once these shows are over. I refuse to give up on the things I believe matter just because there are cameras in my life.” Is it bad that I actually believe her?
Continuing, Khloe explains, “I’m strong and fearless and not afraid to take risks in business. And as strange as it sounds, is that what makes me is just that–I’m 100% me. If I’m cooking dinner for my hubby or designing a line or selling on QVC, I try to do it in an authentic way. To speak to people like I want to be spoken to, to be a voice for people who don’t have one and to give them things they need and love.”
Again, I do believe Khloe is the most genuine of the bunch, although given her brethren, that may not be a difficult task. Go ahead and rake me over the coals, dear readers, but I’m proud to say that I may not be disgusted by this Kardashian.
And speaking of gross people, Kourtney Kardashian may be disgusted by beau Scott Disick in light of recent reports from his (I’m sure former) best friend. Donald Blanco, Scott’s childhood buddy, tells Life Style about their former (pre-Kourtney) glory days…and Kim should be proud, given sex tapes are involved. Donald tells the magazine of his pal’s past, “Scott was obsessed with sex. He loved it.” Donald should know, as he admits to filming multiple encounters for his friend.
Touting Scott as the main exhibitionist among their group of friends, and admitting that the crew used marijuana more than they used protection, Donald shares, “We’d bring back different groups of girls to one of our houses and do various things to them…We tried to make it a daily routine, and some nights would be taped. There’s probably a good eight or nine tapes.” Klassy. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
If you’re still reading and not in your bathroom barfing, you may be asking, why would anyone do this? Simple! Reality television, baby. While Scott managed to make it onto the small screen without going the route of Kim, she and Ray J may have been his inspiration.
Donald reveals, “We thought, If we start videotaping ourselves, maybe one day we can make a TV show out of it. Now Scott’s on a reality show. He was always trying to make it to the top.” If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go scrub my skin off in a bleach shower while I force myself to think of anything but a Scott Dick Disick sex tape. Puppies, unicorns, mac and cheese, Cheerwine, the Easter bunny–anything but Scott’s exploits!
ARE YOU SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT KHLOE AND LAMAR’S SHOW MAY RETURN? THOUGHTS ON HER MAKING THE FORBES LIST? HOW GROSSED OUT ARE YOU ABOUT THE REPORT ON SCOTT’S POTENTIAL SEX TAPES??
Don’t Be Tardy for a Wedding Recap: Potties and ‘Pologies
On last night’s Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding, we are (yea!) one week closer to Kim Zolciak’s wedding extravaganza! There is vow writing, there is portable toilet shopping, and there is a potentially faux peace treaty forged between Kim and her wedding-ruining mother.
Can I just say that K.J. is a Kroy Biermann mini-me? I love the premise of Kim talking to him at the start of each show. That skull and crossbones knit cap is just too much!
Kim is wearing a belly baring pleather shirt and meeting up with her Uncle John who apparently lives in my neck of the woods. She starts in on her mother, and John is quick to remind her that she’s about to talk crap about his sister. Kim shares that her mom is threatening to be sick on her wedding day, and John reminds her that she is very particular. Kim’s mom Karen informed John of her threats, and John reveals that his sister is no longer talking to him after he put in his two cents. Wait, did Kim just spit out some gum at the table? John believes that Kim and Karen are too similar, hence the tension. The pair gets teary remembering John’s battle with cancer and how he promised not to leave her until she was married. Kim asks him to accompany her dad in walking her down the aisle. Wow, Kim has a heart on this show!

Kim leaves Kroy little notes about his tight a$$. How romantic! The couple is excited to ask Kroy’s former Falcon and current motivational speaker Coy to marry the pair. She is reading some suggested vows, and in no way shape or form does Kim want any negativity (read: poverty passages) read in her wedding. Coy arrives, and upon their request he seems overwhelmed to be performing his first marriage ceremony. Kim admits that she isn’t keen on writing her own vows, but Kroy has already started penning his sentiments. Coy basically tells Kim she better find some inspiration.
From vow writing to porta-potty rentals, this show has it all! Kim and Derek J go looking for porta-lets. Derek J can’t understand why Kim just won’t let the guests use her indoor bathrooms. He is wearing a fierce poncho, by the way. Who knew there were so many possibilities when it comes to outdoor urination? I’ll tell you who…two of my best friends who worked for a company called Little John post-college. I can’t make this stuff up. Bathrooms are rented, so it’s back to writing vows for the multitasking Kim. Her youngest daughter Ariana may need to become a professional vow author. Kim’s matron of honor Jen arrives with Panera to help her friend. Kim has total writer’s block because she doesn’t think it’s appropriate to talk about Kroy’s backside in the ceremony. Basically Jen has her penning traditional vows, only “in sickness and in health” is replaced with “whether we’re illin’ or chillin’.” Loves it!
Kim meets with her stylist Shun, and both are hoping that Kim’s mom will show up for her fitting. Her mother and father arrive, and there is an awkward gift exchange. Karen brings the couple a gift basket, full of–what else?–wine glasses. Her mother is trying on dresses for the wedding. Why are they all white? Kim’s dad apparently carries around his wedding photo in his wallet. Kim’s dad declares a mother-of-the-bride dress “the one” while Kim tries to get her dad’s take on her mother’s recent tantrums. Her father reveals that Karen feels as if she’s not needed because Kim hasn’t asked her for any help when all Karen wanted to do was help and contribute.
Ariana and Brielle are discussing their future weddings. Brielle wants cheeseburgers at her reception, while Ariana’s color scheme will be purple and hot pink. While I think cheeseburgers at a reception sound a-freakin-mazing, it’s clear that the daughters don’t fall far from the wig.
Kroy relays to Kim’s father that the pair is worried that her mom may cause drama at the wedding. Kim decides to share her concerns with Karen, and Kim promises that she didn’t want to hurt her mom’s feelings by excluding her from Colin Cowie’s tasting, she just wanted the decision to be between her and Kroy. Her mother only wanted to be included. Kim rehashes her mother’s “sick on the wedding day” text, and Kim’s father demands an apology from his wife for Kim. She says she’s sorry, but let’s all agree it wasn’t sincere. I kind of feel bad for Kim’s mom. She just wants to help.
Next week, Jen thinks Kim’s boobs are too “On Display” (you’re welcome for the plug, Melissa Gorga!), and Kim is sad when Jen is MIA for wedding planning. She’s called out by Colin Cowie’s assistant for drinking before noon (hello! It’s five o’ clock somewhere), and cries to Kandi Burruss (sweet crossover, Bravo!) about Jen’s absence. Kroy takes it upon himself to scold Jen.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE? SHOULD KIM FORGIVE HER MOTHER? HECK, SHOULD SHE LET GUESTS USE HER ACTUAL BATHROOMS?

Taylor Armstrong Denies Drinking Problem While Kyle Richards Rebuffs Intervention Rumors; Plus Brandi Glanville Discusses Therapy With Eddie and Leann
Is she an alcoholic or isn’t she an alcoholic? Is she being phased out of the show or is she not being phased out of the show? Is she a member of the Ford dynasty or is she not a member of the Ford dynasty? There is an intervention planned. There is not an intervention planned. If all of this back and forth continues, I may have a meltdown Taylor Armstrong style.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sources have been speculating for weeks about Taylor’s terrible drinking problem and the intervention her fellow cast mates were planning. The rumor mill has been a buzz over a drunken Taylor at Portia’s fourth birthday party and her booze-fueled meltdown during a recent spa trip. A source even told Perez Hilton, “The entire cast will be filming together this week and the plan is for the ladies to confront Taylor about her growing dependence on alcohol.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
However, Taylor’s biffle has another story for RumorFix. Kyle Richards tells the site,“I don’t know where everybody is coming up with these rumors. There’s no planned intervention.” Hmmm…I wonder if this is a case of trying to throw all the gossip sites off of their game, or whether Bravo doesn’t want another season revolving around such dark story lines.
There is another person who doesn’t think Taylor has any issues with alcohol. That person, of course, would be Taylor herself. Well duh!
A production reveals to RadarOnline.com, “Taylor insists that she definitely doesn’t have a drinking problem . Taylor is steadfast that she doesn’t abuse alcohol and that her focus is being the best mother possible to her daughter. She doesn’t like the meddling that the other Housewives are causing in her life right now. She says the only reason that she drinks is to relax and unwind a bit at the end of the day, and that she never drinks before 6 p.m. and usually will only have a drink or two after Kennedy has gone to sleep.” I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen any of the ladies stop after one or two drinks, come to think of it!
“Taylor got wasted at Portia‘s birthday party, and Kennedy was there, so if Taylor doesn’t think her daughter doesn’t know what is going on she truly is in denial,” continues the source. “No, Taylor doesn’t ever drink and drive and she did have a driver that night, but that doesn’t mean there is any less cause for concern.”
In fact, Tamara Tattles posted that she’s been hearing rumors of something going down at Andy Cohen’s book release party earlier this week, at which Taylor was in attendance. She alludes to the notion that Taylor may not be phased out of the show, but she could potentially be edited out altogether! While I find that idea highly unlikely, I am super curious to hear what may have happened at the event.
Because there are other people on RHOBH other than Taylor, let’s show some love to the sometimes kooky, always brutally honest Brandi Glanville. She recently admitted that she has been attending counseling sessions with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his former mistress/current wife/one-time singer Leann Rimes. Brandi explains to E! that the sessions are at times “uncomfortable,” but are necessary to “open up lines of communication.” Eddie and Leann were also invited by Brandi to spend Easter with her and the two sons she shares with Eddie.
“I did it for the kids. I don’t know that many ex-wives who would do that,” Brandi tells the site. “I’m not a hateful person.” I must say I am beyond impressed to hear this news. Brandi may be crass and sometimes a bit much to take, but I respect that she speaks her mind and clearly doesn’t care what people think of her.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE RECENT TAYLOR RUMORS? DO YOU BELIEVE BRAVO WILL EDIT HER OUT OF THE SHOW? COMMENTS ON BRANDI’S THERAPY WITH EDDIE AND LEANN?
America’s Next Top Model Brings On Two New Cast Members, Tyra Talks Old Modeling Days
Tyra Banks shocked fans of her reality cult classic America’s Next Top Model when she fired Nigel Barker, J. Alexander and Jay Manuel, three cast members who had been on the show for approximately one million years.
US Magazine reported this week that two replacements for the men have been announced, Katy Perry’s stylist Johnny Wujek and model Rob Evans will join publicist Kelly Cutrone at judge’s table.I’m a bit worried that Katy’s stylist is being added. I guess we’ll have to expect some really weird challenges next cycle. Who can shoot ice cream out of the cone bra the best a la Katy’s California Girls video is one idea.
Tyra also announced that the show would add a voting element, like almost every other reality show. “Cycle 19′s judging panel will include your votes, comments and video messages. You will have a say in which models stay… and who goes home.”

It’s pretty interesting, viewers will be able to judge the models in this cycle in real time as the show films and then they’ll get to watch their commentary and results when the show airs in the fall. What a cool new twist! Unfortunately, the show is moving to Fridays, which is likely the network’s way of thanking Tyra for firing three cast members who had put in years of service.
In other news, Tyra wrote a letter to the Daily Beast about the ridiculous standards the modeling industry has set (that her show kinda perpetuates?), bringing up the fact that she would have not made it as a model if she’d started today:
“I could not have had the career that I did. I would’ve been considered too heavy. In my time, the average model’s size was a four or six. Today you are expected to be a size zero. When I started out, I didn’t know such a size even existed.”
Tyra credits her famous curves for much of her success, writing “In a way, it was my decision not to starve myself that turned me into a supermodel, and later on, a businesswoman.” Let’s hope more young models who happen to be a size 2 or 4 take the same approach as a young Tyra and don’t starve themselves to a size 0.
TELL US — WILL YOU WATCH AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL WITHOUT THE OLD CAST MEMBERS?
