Monica Monroe: I Saved Lamar Odom"s Life! I Never Gave Him Drugs!

Monica Monroe, one of the two prostitutes who found Lamar Odom unconscious last week, says she had nothing to do with his drug use.

If anything, she insists, she’s the reason he’s still alive.

Yesterday, reports surfaced that the women Lamar was with eight days ago, Madison Montag and Ryder Cherry, supplied him with drugs.

(Those names are aliases, as is Monica Monroe … whichever one she is. Monroe is in witness protection after her boyfriend’s murder.)

Whatever her name is, she tells the Daily Mail (UK):

“I didn’t do anything wrong … I saved [Odom’s] life.”

The two prostitutes found Odom and called for help, just in time to get him airlifted out of the brothel before his heart and brain shut down.

Monroe has left Nevada, distraught and scared.

“I’m not to blame at all because I didn’t do anything wrong at all,” Monroe reiterated to the site. “I feel like I saved his life by finding him.”

Before that, it sounds like quite the weekend.

According to 911 calls, Khloe Kardashian’s husband had taken at least 10 tabs of the sexual performance enhancement drug Reload.

He was also allegedly on cocaine at the time.

After being treated at Sunrise Hospital in Vegas, and given a 50-50 chance of survival, Odom pulled through and regained consciousness.

He is now at L.A.’s Cedars Sinai Hospital.

Khloe issued a statement yesterday on his condition, thanking friends and fans for support throughout the sobering and taxing ordeal.

The journey ahead is long and arduous, too.

“He’s still really, really sick,” a source said.

“There are a million things they’re doing to him still. He’s still in rough shape, not doing well. He’s talking a little, but not full sentences.”

One Direction Music Video Takes Aim at Taylor Swift

A few days after debuting their latest single at a concert in Ireland, One Direction has come out with the official music video for "Perfect."

And, once again, it has fans wondering whether the footage is a passive aggressive slam against Taylor Swift.

The video is set in New York, a city Swift now calls home and one she sang about in the appropriately-titled song "Welcome to New York."

We see members of the British boy band here at the InterContinental Hotel, as they trash their hotel room, look out the massive windows onto The Big Apple and run through the halls.

Swift is believed to have written about her relationship with Harry Styles in the track "Style."

In this supposed revenge single, One Direction sings “And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out/If you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about,” just as the camera camera cuts right to Swift’s ex, Styles.

Are we reading too much into the music video and the song itself? Watch and decide for yourself!

Khloe Kardashian: Spending MAJOR Bucks on Lamar Odom"s Recovery, Source Claims

It’s been one week since Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada. Since then, the former NBA star has shown steady signs of improvement, but he still has a long way to go.

Yesterday, Lamar was airlifted to a hospital in Los Angeles where he will undergo a long, difficult physical therapy regimen. 

The cost of his treatment is likely to be astronomical, and though Lamar pulled in substantial earnings during his time as a pro basketball player and reality star, his estranged wife is worth far more money.

So it’s not surprising that Radar Online is reporting that Khloe Kardashian will cover the cost of Lamar’s recovery.

Sources say she began by arranging his recent air transport.

“Khloe and Kris had been working for several days to arrange the medically equipped helicopter for Lamar. As soon as the doctors said Lamar was stable enough to go, Khloe gave the green light for the transport to come to Vegas to get him.

“It was only about an hour and a half trip from Las Vegas to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. The cost was $ 120,000 which wasn’t covered by medical insurance.

“But Khloe had no issue paying, even though her mom questioned if Lamar could be billed directly. Khloe appreciated her mom’s concern, but told her it was already paid for, and ended the conversation.”

Many expenses that can’t be covered by insurance are certain to arise over the course of Lamar’s treatment, especially since the Kardashians are said to be seeking out the best available experts from across the country.

Insiders say Khloe has made it clear that she has no problem paying for all of it.

So much for the “Kardashian curse.” Sounds like Khloe’s reputation for compassion and loyalty is well-deserved.

"Kardashian Curse" Inspires Memes, Jokes About Kanye West

As you’ve probably heard by now, Lamar Odom nearly died from a drug overdose last week and is currently undergoing extensive physical therapy 

Less than 24 hours after that shocking news broke, we learned that Scott Disick checked into rehab for the sixth time.

The two incidents are probably unrelated, but they’ve led to jokes, speculation, blog posts and memes about the ways in which the Kardashians seem to ruin men’s lives. 

It’s ridiculous to think that the women themselves have such a negative impact on the lives of downtrodden dudes like Scott, Lamar and Rob Kardashian, but the guys’ issues may have a common bond.

Perhaps these guys just had trouble coping with the fame and scrutiny that accompanied their involvement with “America’s first family.”

Whatever the case, folks on social media are having a field day with memes like this:

That one was stolen posted to Instagram by famed hack/joke thief The Fat Jew. It’s just one example of the newest form of Kardashian-bashing.

Ragging on the Kardasdhians is one of the Internet’s favorite pastimes, and we would never try to put a stop to it, but if this “Kardashian Curse” trend is to continue, it’s important to keep a few things clear:

1. Caitlyn’s life was not ruined. She seems to be doing just fine. Don’t be D-bags, y’all.


2. Scott and Lamar almost certainly suffered from substance abuse issues before they got romantically involved with members of the Kard clan. In fact, Kourtney and Khloe deserve credit for expressing their concern and offering help even after their relationships were through.


3. Kanye will be just fine. You can see the dude’s ego from space. We can’t be certain about Tyga.


4. Rob Kardashian probably suffers from depression. Yes, the constant glare of the reality show spotlight almost certainly isn’t helping his condition, but it’s not like his sisters are planning a two-hour special where they repeatedly bash his testicles with a sledgehammer.

Although come to think of it, that would probably pull in bigger ratings and be less painful to watch than Kim and Kris Humphries’ wedding.

Anyway, fame ruining people’s lives is nothing new, and the Kardashian gals aren’t to blame for their men’s recent misfortunes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t joke about the idea. Hell, we sure did:
