Lamar Odom Went on Week-Long Bender Before Checking Into Brothel: Report

As you’ve probably heard, Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada on Tuesday night, and the former NBA star is currently comatose.

Sources at the brothel say Odom was on a bender in the days leading up to his death, indulging in cocaine, opiates, alcohol and drug-fuelled sex with prostitutes.

Now, Radar Online is reporting that Love Ranch employees only saw the tail end of a sex and drugs binge that may have been going on for quite some time. 

Workers at various hot spots in the Vegas area tell Radar that Lamar had been partying non-stop for weeks before he collapsed. 

“He was spending money like crazy and partying here in our VIP room for a week straight,” says an employee at the Spearmint Rhino strip club. “I heard he was blowing through money like crazy…He was making all the girls drink and party with him.”

Other insiders say at the club say Lamar was blowing through upwards of $ 5,000 a say on liquor and lap dances. They add that he also developed a reputation as a difficult customer:

“My boss asked me to entertain him, but I refused cause I heard he was difficult and demanding,” says one dancer. “A lot of girls refused to work for him.”

Sadly, in the two days since he was hospitalized, Lamar’s condition has only deteriorated, and doctors now say he has about a 50/50 chance of survival.

We’ll keep you updated on Lamar’s condition as more information becomes available.

Kourtney Kardashian Sends Power of Prayer to "Beautiful" Lamar Odom

Kourtney Kardashian is the latest member of her family to speak out in light of Lamar Odom’s tragic medical situation.

The reality star took to Instagram this afternoon and shared a precious photo of her former brother-in-law snuggling up to her young son, Mason.

“Believing in the power of prayer for this beautiful soul,” wrote Kourtney as a caption to the image.

Odom, of course, is in very bad condition at the moment.

He has been in a coma since passing out inside a brothel in Nevada on Tuesday afternoon, as an MRI revealed Odom suffered multiple strokes and tests have confirmed the star used cocaine over the weekend.

The owner of the brothel has also said Odom took an herbal sexual stimulant known as Reload on a number of occasions.

Sources close to the situation say Odom’s condition has not improved, with one insider putting Lamar’s odds of survival at just 50%.

Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian all flew via private plane to be by Odom’s side as soon as they heard the news, with Kourtney and Kylie Jenner joining them on Wednesday afternoon.

Over the past 24 hours, multiple family members have shared tributes to Odom on social media. They include:

• Kendall Jenner addressing Odom and saying “please don’t go.” 


• Both Rob Kardashian and Kris Jenner sending prayers to their loved one.


• Kylie Jenner posting a sweet photo of her and Odom and writing as a caption: “Let’s dance again together soon. Prayers up for Lamar please.”

Here’s a look at what other stars have said about Odom, as we join everyone in sending him our very best wishes:

Jamie Zimmerman Dies; ABC News Medical Correspondent Was 31

Jamie Zimmerman – the medical doctor and journalist best known for her work with ABC News – has passed away at the age of 31.

Sources say Zimmerman drowned while vacationing in Hawaii.

“Jamie touched so many of us across ABC News,” wrote network president Goldston in a message to employees. “We will miss her. Jamie had a passion to make the world a better place and help all of us lead better lives.”

In addition to her on-air work at ABC, Zimmerman was a regular contributor to Huffington Post, Yahoo News and PBS.

Though tremendously knowledgeable on the topic of medicine, Zimmerman was also remarkably well-rounded. 

She studied anthropology and film at UCLA and got her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine last year. As a teen, she acted on such popular series as 7th Heaven and Boston Public.

But for all of her accomplishments, family and friends say she was most proud of her work on global health initiatives that recently brought her to the most troubled areas of Haiti and the Congo.

“My little girl was always trying to do too much,” Jamie’s mother wrote on Facebook.

“She wanted to write books and already had a literary agent. She just couldn’t stop taking on more. It’s as if she knew her time was limited and she was trying to fit it all in!”

She added that she hopes her daughter’s life will inspire others to make the world a better place.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt on Lauren Conrad: B!tch is a Cold-Hearted KILLER!

The Hills’ gruesome twosome, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, are still warring with Lauren Conrad, who they describe as a ruthless, bitter individual.

And a sex tape star.

In a new interview with Complex, the dastardly duo reveals that their infamous reality TV beef endures to this day, and they stand by their stories.

In 2008, rumors circulated that a Lauren Conrad sex tape co-starring her bad boy co-star Jason Wahler exited. It would be the Holy Grail of sex tapes.

Conrad denied it, then produced one of the epic quotes in Hills history when she called out Heidi for spreading the alleged lie: “You know what you did!”

Montag maintains that the Conrad sex tape does exist, however.

“Today, I’d be like, ‘Bitch, you know what you did,"” she said.

Spencer was even more blunt in his assessment of LC:

“Lauren is a cold-hearted killer. That’s what people don’t get. She will cut you in your sleep. She tried to destroy us. If you want to throw missiles?”

“I’m throwing a nuke. This is how I operate.”

Pratt also blamed Conrad for the fact that he currently isn’t on speaking terms with either his own mother or his sister, Stephanie Pratt.

“My mom’s a Lauren supporter,” he dished.

“She’s like, ‘Mark Cuban says on Shark Tank that you shouldn’t help your kids.’ I’m like, ‘Mark Cuban can go jump off a freaking cliff for all I care."”

Whatever that means. Heidi, for her part, seems to have moved on a little bit more from The Hills and this whole charade than Spencer has.

In fact, in a February 2015 episode of Marriage Boot Camp, Heidi “forgave” Lauren for ruining her life in a cathartic reality TV moment for the ages.

Moving stuff.
