Rob Kardashian: Out and About in LA!

For all of the tragic consequences of Lamar Odom’s near-fatal overdose last week, it looks there may actually be some silver linings to the the dark cloud still hanging over his inner circle.

First, we learned that Scott Disick checked into rehab, possibly as a result of Odom’s brush with death. Now, it seems Odom’s condition has motivated another member of the Kard clan to turn his life around…

Yes, according to Radar Online, Rob Kardashian has emerged from hiding and has been spotted chauffeuring his distraught sister Khloe Kardashian around town. 

Rob has been spotted in the public a few times in recent months, but only late at night, and usually while engaging in fast food runs or other not-so-encouraging activities.

Insiders say Rob has risen to the challenge of helping his sister through this difficult time, and we can expect to see him out and about (during daylight hours) much more in the coming weeks. 

Khloe has been Rob’s closest confidant for years. (He even lives at his big sister’s house.) Now that she’s Lamar’s number-one caretaker, Rob has volunteered to help her nurse Odom back to health.

“Lamar is getting stronger,” says one insider, “So Khloe has been talking to his doctors about what his medical needs are going to be going forward.”

Rob has posted about his love for Lamar on social media, and those closest to the 28-year-old recluse say the emergency situation has forced him to snap out of his deprsssion.

Paula Deen Whines Over Dancing with the Stars Elimination

As of Monday night, Paula Deen is no longer Dancing with the Stars.

The occasionally racist chef was voted out of the ABC competition, expressing a bit of relief at first by saying she can now go home and “see [her] grandbabies.”

But Deen then spoke to Us Weekly after her elimination and sounded a tad bitter over how it all went down.

“[The judges] have been hard on me since the very start,” Deen said.” I don’t know.”

Oh, but we know: the judges have been hard on you because you aren’t very good. That’s sort of their job. That’s how the whole thing works.

“I figured two weeks and I’ve been here six!” added Deen.

“So four weeks is a bonus, a pure gift. And I’ve made wonderful friends here that’ll last forever and that’s worth its weight in gold, right there.”

The celebrity chef was teamed with Mark Ballas this season, with the tandem executing a rather racy routine the week before getting voted out.

She concluded by praising Ballas as “so much fun” and then said she hopes she can serve as an inspiration to others.

“I hope everybody saw me over these six weeks and I hope it gives them hope and encouragement, Deen said.

“I hope all the women out there got the message that I was trying to send to them. Get up and do it!”

Ryan Sweeting to Kaley Cuoco: Gimme Some LOOT Baby!

Ryan Sweeting has responded to Kaley Cuoco’s divorce filing, and in court papers, he seeks spousal support from his famous, soon-to-be ex-wife.

Sweeting, who was married to the actress for a whole 21 months before they called it off, cites the generic “irreconcilable differences” as the reason.

The documents show that Ryan wants spousal support and to terminate the court’s ability to award support to Kaley, who may take issue with that.

In her papers, Kaley stated spousal support was payable and terminable as set forth from the duo’s prenuptial agreement, which they signed in 2013.

Ryan is also asking Kaley to pay for his legal fees, something The Big Bang Theory beauty listed would be paid by both parties, per their prenup.

“Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting have mutually decided to end their marriage,” Cuoco’s rep said last month. “They ask for privacy at this time.”

“No further statement will be issued regarding this matter.”

Cuoco recently took to social media to shoot down reports that her marriage failed because she “never got over” her love for co-star Johnny Galecki.

Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki dating rumors hit the web hard and fast almost as soon as the ink was dry on her divorce filing. But they’re just that:

Rumors.

“So sorry to disappoint, but no home wreckers or secret flings going on here,” she captioned a black and white photo fist bumping Galecki on Instagram.

“Me and @sanctionedjohnnygalecki are just the best of buds,” added the 29-year-old. “Leonard and Penny will just have to suffice!!!”

Oh well.
