Not long after the world learned about Lamar Odom’s near-fatal overdose, rumors about the Kardashian family’s attempts to milk the tragedy for ratings began to circulate online.
Sources claimed that Khloe had brought a camera crew to Lamar’s bedside so that her grief could be featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Reps for the Kard clan say there’s no truth to those rumors, but according to a new report from Radar Online, a revamped version of Khloe and Lamar that will focus on Odom’s recovery may already be in the works.
Sources say Khloe was planning on producing a KUWTK spinoff that would star her and new boyfriend James Harden, but those plans have been scrapped for obvious reasons.
”Khloe had really been gunning for a spin-off show with James,” says one insider.
Now that Khloe and Lamar have called off their divorce (and Harden has been kicked to the curb), the source says she’s done some slight re-casting.
Yes, Khloe still wants to do her own show, but now she wants it to focus on her efforts to nurse Lamar back to health.
It’s opportunism at its finest/ugliest, but that’s what the Kardashians are all about. We say as long is Lamar is cool with it (and cashing in on it), why not? Just kidding; it’s an awful idea.
Of course, there’s a good chance the show may never see the light of day, both because E! execs reportedly find it to be in poor taste (with good reason) and because momager Kris and company have been feeling that the Kardashians are on the verge of overexposure lately.
“It was just obvious to everyone that Khloe was trying to do whatever she could to remain relevant,” says the source.
A Kardashian resorting to sad, desperate measures to stay in the spotlight? Ya don’t say!
