  • Lamar Odom Loses Second Friend to Drugs, Bobby Heyward Dies Just Days After Jamie Sangouthai’s Death

    Lamar Odom is no doubt completely grief-stricken by now. In a matter of days he has lost two close friends to drug-related deaths. Jamie Sangouthai, who appeared on episodes of Khloe & Lamar with Odom and Khloe Kardashian, died of a flesh-eating disease called necrotizing fasciitis, that is attributed to chronic IV drug users. And this weekend, Bobby Heyward died of what Us Weekly is reporting as a drug overdose.

    In recent days Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner have both reached out to Lamar Odom. Khloe fears these tragedies might cause Lamar to resort to his old drug habits. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch wanted Lamar to know that she still considers him a part of their family.

    It has to be especially disturbing to Lamar Odom to lose these two friends in such quick succession. Bobby Heyward had just posted an Instagram memorial to Jamie Sangouthai a few days before his own death. Lamar Odom, Jamie Sangouthai, and Bobby Heyward all appear in the shot.

    #RIP To my big brother Jamie who always brought light into any room he walked into and laughter as well at all times J you will always be missed. Family for life. #BandOfBrothers #tbt,” he captioned the photo.

    Khloe and Lamar may not be ready to throw in the towel on their “marriage.”

    As a matter of fact, several media outlets have reported that the estranged twosome has been spending a lot of time together lately since the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star split from rapper French Montana.

    Now, in addition to the reconciliation rumors, there’s more – Lamar reportedly wants another chance and a new reality show with Khloe.

    According to Hollywood Life, the ex-NBA baller is making positive changes in his life and doing everything in his power to win her back.

    A source close to the former Khloe & Lamar reality TV star also shared some interesting details about his current state of mind.

    “Lamar is chilling and not thinking about anything but getting Khloe back,” a source revealed. “He’d do anything for her. Anything. He’d love to do their Khloe & Lamar reality show again now that he has the time. He wants that. He wants that for many reasons.”

    “He told her doing the show this time around would show her and himself that’s he ready to be open and honest, to put his feelings and heart out on the table and to prove to her that he’s ready to be part of her world and her family’s empire that he once took for granted.”

  • Khloe And Lamar: Are They Regretting The Divorce?

    Khloe and Lamar had a long, drawn out separation and divorce. Although they tried to keep it private, it just wasn’t possible and the world seemed to know everything going on between the couple. Both seemed to be relieved to get their divorce over with and all of the drama behind them.

    Both admitted that they wished they could have worked things out, but thought the divorce was for the best. While the couple have not said much about each other publicly since their marriage ended, they may be sending cryptic messages to each other via Instagram. The cryptic messages seem to hint that they are regretting their divorce.

    Khloe recently posted an inspirational message on both her Twitter and Instagram account and while some people may not have thought anything of it, many others seemed to think that it was a message to Lamar.

    Khloe isn’t the only one who is ready to reconcile. According to sources close to Lamar, he has expressed an interest in making up with her and possibly starting their relationship over again. Lamar has even brought up the possibility of rekindling a romance with Khloe in interviews.

    Khloe’s friends on the other hand, say that she has no desire to get back with Lamar and that the two have gone their separate ways for good. Rumors of drug and alcohol abuse are a few of the reasons Khloe decided to divorce Lamar, and then there was the fact that he cheated on her and would disappear for days at a time without contacting her.

    Lamar has admitted to having problems but has also promised to get the help he needs. Maybe if he would have done so sooner, the couple would still be together.

    Do you think Khloe will take Lamar back if he does get help and is able to control his addictions and do you believe her Instagram post was for him?
