Lamar Odom Shows Signs of Life as Heart Function Improves!

Some good news out of Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas today, as TMZ is reporting that after nearly three days in a coma, Lamar Odom is showing signs of life.

Hospital insiders say doctors have cautioned that Odom’s chances of recovering remain slim, but they’re encouraged by the fact that his heart is beating on its own and its condition seems to have improved dramatically in just the last 24 hours.

As you’ve probably heard, Odom was found unconscious in his VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada on Tuesday night. 

He has remained in a coma ever since, and yesterday, it was widely reported that Odom had been declared brain dead.

It’s unclear whether those reports were inaccurate, or if Odom was misdiagnosed, but the fact that his heart is beating on its own can be taken as an indication that some brain function remains. 

Unfortunately, several of Lamar’s organs are still badly damaged – possibly beyond repair – and he is still hooked up to a ventilator and a dialysis machine.

Sources say doctors have encouraged visitors to remain as calm and quiet as possible in hopes of maintaining an environment that will be ideal for healing.

We’ll have updates on Lamar’s condition as more information becomes available.

Khloe Kardashian, Liza Morales: Fighting Over Lamar Odom"s $10 Million Life Insurance Policy?

It’s been almost three days since Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada.

It was reported yesterday that doctors have declared Odom brain dead, and despite showing occasional signs of life, they continue to believe that he has little chance of emerging from his coma.

Shortly after he was hospitalized, it was revealed that Odom is still married to Khloe Kardashian, despite the fact that they’ve been estranged for over two years.

This means that Khloe may soon be in the position of making difficult medical legal decisions on Lamar’s behalf.

Radar Online reports that Khloe is the beneficiary of Lamar’s $ 10 million life insurance policy. She will also receive a large portion of his estate which at one point was valued at $ 100 million.

(That number is probably significantly diminished now, as Lamar has not received any substantial income in nearly two years.)

“Khloe was to receive a majority of that,” says one insider. “His kids were of course included in the will, but it’s understood they were to only receive a small portion compared to Khloe.”

The terms of Odom’s will put Khloe in a strange predicament, as she’s worth far more than he is, and Odom has two children to support.

The children’s mother, Liza Morales, is reportedly already mounting a legal offensive in order to secure as much of Odom’s estate for herself and her children as she can.

Khloe certainly doesn’t need the money, but she and Morales are not exactly close friends (It’s been widely reported that Odom cheated with Morales while before he and Khloe were separated.), so she may not be too keen on the idea of giving the woman a 9-figure gift.

Many expect that Khloe will give Liza a sizable enough chunk of Lamar’s estate to effectively make her go away. But if Liza wants the whole thing, Khloe might have an ugly legal battle ahead of her.

Khloe Kardashian to Dennis Hof: Shut the Eff Up!

Khloe Kardashian has enough to deal with at the moment without being trashed by a man who makes a living as a brothel owner.

As the world tragically knows by now, Lamar Odom is lying in a Las Vegas hospital bed, possibly showing signs for life yet still in a very bad shape after collapsing on Tuesday afternoon.

The former NBA star had spent multiple days partying at The Love Ranch, a brothel in Nevada owned by Dennis Hof, before falling unconscious as a result of a likely overdose.

We know Odom had taken cocaine over the weekend and we know he had also taken a great deal of Reload, an herbal sexual stimulant with harmful side effects.

Hof, meanwhile, responded to the scary incident by appearing on Nancy Grace… by claiming did not take drugs on his premises… and by trashing the Kardashians.

Watch his interview below to see how Hof replied to a family publicist who asked him to remain quiet so that Khloe could control the message during this horrific time.

Now, representatives for Khloe have reiterated to the press the message they passed along to Hof.

“We reached out to Dennis yesterday politely asking him to respect Lamar’s (and Khloe’s) privacy during this difficult time and refrain from talking to the press,” reads the statement.

“This is a very painful situation, as I know you are aware, and the idea that anyone would use it to seek publicity is really sad.”

Hof has not yet heeded this advice, however, insisting to People Magazine that Odom was “having a good time” and was “happy and healthy” during his stay at the Love Ranch, which set Lamar back $ 75,000.

Upon discovered her estranged husband had been hospitalized on Tuesday, Khloe immediately rushed to Nevada and has been making all medical decisions because the stars are still legally married, despite having signed divorce papers in July.

We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to Lamar Odom, Khloe and their loved ones.
