Lamar Odom Turns Down $1M For Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Says They Ruined His Life!

Lamar Odom was reportedly offered, and turned down, an offer of $ 1 million to return to Keeping Up with the Kardashians next season. The reason?

Those people ruined his life, obviously!

With ratings slipping and Caitlyn Jenner stealing their thunder, Kris Jenner is in panic mode and trying anything to ensure she stays on top.

That includes a plot to upstage Caitlyn at the ESPYs, supposedly with the aid of Rob Kardashian, and trying to bring Khloe's ex back into the fold.

The Momager supposedly reached out to Lamar so they could show his estranged relationship, and possible divorce, from Khloe Kardashian.

Pass, he told her, without mulling it over.

According to In Touch, Lamar Odom did not even think twice about turning her down, even though his contract would have guaranteed him $ 1 million:

“His exact words were ‘They ruined my life.’”

Assuming he didn't blow it all on crack and various hoes, he made tens of millions in the NBA before shifting his career focus to crack and hoes.

He also still gets an NBA pension, and owns several Fatburger restaurants, so dude is not as hard up for money as his reclusive nature implies.

We would not say he's doing great these days, however. In fact, we have no idea how he's doing because he's gone almost totally off the grid.

Financial issues or not, he has plenty of demons, alleged cheating and drug abuse, that he has battled for years and triggered his split from Khloe.

Yet they are still not officially divorced.

Two years later and they're in limbo. It was recently revealed that Khloe and Lamar are still in contact and Kim even caught them flirting on the phone.

Oh, and Lamar knows Alex Roldan is Khloe's father, some people close to him say, although that's neither here nor there as it pertains to this story.

Bottom line: Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian probably will not reconcile, but if they do, it will almost certainly not play out in front of E! cameras.

Yes, Odom says Khloe is his girl, but not enough of his girl to make a commitment to, and sure as hell not one he wants to be filmed with anymore.

Australian Couple Threatens Divorce If Gay Marriage is Legalized

Nick and Sarah Jensen are taking an odd, strong stand against gay marriage.

The Christian couple lives in Australian and has vowed to get divorced if marriage equality becomes legal in their home country.

In an op-ed for the Canberra CityNews, Nick writes that he and his wife “as a matter of conscience, refuse to recognize the government’s regulation of marriage if its definition includes the solemnization of same sex couples."

The Jensens have been married for a decade and have kids together.

However, according to Nick, the Australian government would basically be nullifying their marital contract if it decided to legalize same-sex marriage.

"For us, fundamentally, when we got married we signed a contract with the state and that contract was around the current definition of marriage and all the things that comes with it," he explains.

"Man and woman for life, for the sake of children. If it came to be that the definition of the contract was changed, the contract is now null and void."

Due to its unusual nature, the story of the Jensens has gone viral.

Although it's unclear why anyone should care about some random couple essentially punishing themselves (and their kids) over their belief system.

“This has been a big decision for my wife and I. Some will accuse of us being bigoted or too hateful to share. But this couldn’t be further from our intentions,” Nick insists in his op-ed, adding:

“The truth is, ‘marriage’ is simply too important. It is a sacred institution, ordained by God...

"Any attempt to change the definition of marriage by law is not something in which we are able to partake.”

NBA's Greg Anthony -- Dishwashes His Way Out of Prostitution Case

Z STAFF

EXCLUSIVE

Greg Anthony‘s prostitution problems are about to be over … and it’s all because the ex-NBA player (turned NCAA analyst) put in some serious work washing dishes … TMZ Sports has learned. 

As we previously reported, Anthony was arrested for soliciting a hooker at a D.C. hotel back in January … but struck a plea deal with prosecutors to keep his ass out of jail. 

Part of the agreement was that Greg had to serve 32 hours of community service — which, according to new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, he completed with a church in Florida.   

In fact, the church says Anthony’s duties included …
– Preparing and serving meals to the homeless
– Custodial activities in the kitchen and dining room areas (washing dishes)
– Talking to adults and kids about education and pro sports

Now, Anthony’s lawyer, Danny Onorato, says they’re expecting the judge to officially dismiss the case later today … and Anthony is looking forward to moving on with his life.
