Khloe Kardashian Releases First Statement Since Lamar Odom Hospitalization

Over the past several days, we’ve heard from nearly every member of the Kardashian-Jenner family in regard to the tragic Lamar Odom situation.

Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian have all issued statements on social media in support of their troubled loved one.

And now Khloe Kardashian has done the same.

Khloe, who is technically still married to Lamar, flew immediately to her estranged husband’s hospital bedside in Las Vegas as soon as she learned he had fallen into a coma.

She remained there all of last week and is expected to continue to support Odom now that he’s been transported to Los Angeles.

“The past week has been incredibly difficult,” Khloe wrote this morning on her official website.

“I am so thankful to family, friends, and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar. I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at Sunrise Hospital, including the amazing doctors and nurses for their kindness and diligent work.

“Under their amazing care, incredible strides have been made.”

Just a few days ago, Odom’s odds of survival were placed at a mere 50%.

He may still need a kidney transplant and there’s a long road to recovery ahead. But at least there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic.

“You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure,” Khloe added, concluding:

“Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!”

These words mark the first time the 31-year old reality star has spoken in public since Odom was found unconscious on October 13 inside a VIP suite at the Love Ranch South brothel in Pahrump, Nevada.

As his legal wife, Khloe was in charge of all medical decisions until Odom was deemed healthy enough to make his own choices.

“Khloe is committed to staying with [Lamar],” a source told Us Weekly, adding of the days ahead and also behind:

“It’s a slow process, but Khloe [has been] there every step of the way…It’s all been so draining and emotional.”

Courtney Stodden Displays Butt Amidst Pregnancy Rumors

Last week, we reported that Courtney Stodden might be pregnant.  This was not one of those cases where an anonymous source spilled the beans to a tabloid.

Courtney was papped while buying a pregnancy test at an LA convenient store during what we’re sure was a totally candid moment that was in no way orchestrated by her PR team. Now there’s this:

To the untrained eye that may seem to be nothing more than an innocent photo of Courtney Stodden’s butt. 

What’s interesting, however, is that we usually only see Courtney Stodden’s boobs. It makes sense, as Stodden has huge boobs and she didn’t pay good money for them just to hide them from the world.

Some fans believe that by turning her back to the camera (literally) Courtney is subtly hinting at a growing baby bump.

Frankly, we think just she felt like mixing things up, and she’s well aware that asses are in these days.

We’re not saying that Courtney is definitely not pregnant, but we are saying that’s easy to spoil a thing of beauty by overthinking it.

Would you look at the Mona Lisa and wonder is she recently got knocked up by her elderly acting-coach-turned-husband? If so, you really need to work on your art appreciation skills, bruh. 

We"re Loving It: Watch What This McDonald"s Patron Can Do!

When it comes to what Peter Kane can do with merely a McDonald"s cup and straw… well… we"re loving it!

In a viral video making its way around the Internet, this young man uses only the aforementioned pair of items to create quite the unique sound.

A talented beatboxer, Kane is featured here making dubstep noises with nothing but things we"d assume one can only use to drink with.

But how wrong we are! 

Check out the footage now and give this fast food patron a round of applause. This is pretty cool

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Return to Central America For Missionary Work

Well, this is unexpected. Just a few days ago, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard refunded money to fans who felt that they’d been scammed out of donations that were meant to fund the couple’s non-existent missionary work.

Then, last night, the Dillards took to their personal blog to refute claims that they’ve permanently returned to Arkansas:

Yes, Jill and Derick announced that they’re headed to El Salvador (Again!) with the above photo and the following statement:

“We had a great visit recently to the States and as always it was a little hard to say goodbye! We are headed back to Central America. In the weeks ahead language school will become much more intense as we work to become fluent in Spanish.

“It will be many months before we are able to make a short visit back to the States again. Here’s a few pics as we left this weekend. Please keep praying for us—we are praying for you!”

Jill and Derick’s last “short visit” home went on for so long that it was rumored they’d been deemed unsuitable for missionary work.

It’s worth noting that they still have yet to deny that rumor, which means it’s likely that Jill and Derick were turned down by the International Mission Board, and decided to simply fund the trip themselves.

The Dillards still have yet to complete any of the educational coursework that was required of them (language school is not on the list), so it’s unlikely that the IMB and the Southern Baptist Convention simply had changes of heart.

In any event, we’ll see how long Jill and Derick last in Central America this time around.
