STAR MAGAZINE catches Lamar Odom possibly having a Michael Beasley moment, at a Labor Day house party in Malibu.
Excerpt from Star article on Odom:
Could Lamar’s basketball career go up in smoke? At a Labor Day house party in Malibu, the Lakers forward openly lit up and — puffed away! “You could smell it — it was definitely marijuana,” and insider claims. “It was really strong! Lamar was smoking and sharing the joint with other people.”
Blindsided! I am.More from the Star’s report after the jump.The Star article also reports on what Odom did the morning of his (fake) wedding to Khloe Kardashian:
Lamar left his friends to flirt with a blonde at the SLS Hotel in L.A., says an eyewitness. “They were flirting and minutes into the conversation, he asked the girl point-blank, ‘Do you think I’m good-looking?’”
(Now, do I tip him a dollar a bag … or two?)
Lamar! Why, do you even have to ask that?!Last thing, the Star reports on Lamar the family man:
Lamar has two children, ages 7 and 10, with Liza Morales, who claims he hasn’t seen them in three months.
To recap: Lamar smokes weed. Cheats on his partners and ignores his kids.
I know, what’s Star Mag thinking? When do they plan on reporting some news.UPDATE: Remember this report from the ASSOCIATED PRESS?: “Clippers’ Odom admits to marijuana use.”

“Insider”? That’s the source? A photo that could be a cigarette? This is Tabloid garbage IMO. Nothing above proves anything. lame.

Randy Jackson,
If that was all made up, believe me Lamar’s lawyers would’ve sued the bejesus out of Star Magazine the second the photo and accompany copy hit the newsstands.
Star isn’t going to print something that hasn’t been vetted.
Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t work in the business or is living in the 1970s.

Also, last I checked all the so-called upstanding outlets like the LA TIMES use anonymous sources all the time.
What’s the difference?
There is none. Not today. Maybe 25 years ago. Not now.
The NY Post and Daily News get far more reportage wrong than the Star and Enquirer in my opinion. Not even close.

Who holds a cigarette like that? Nobody.
Who holds a joint like that? People who smoke joints.
6:04 pm on October 8th, 2009
So that’s why Lamar married Khloe. He was high.

Dude has smoked dope since he got in the League. My Lamar Odom Clippers bobble head sits proudly on my desk. It was a giveaway for a Clipper home game during his suspension for a positive weed test. I cherish it.

When the Clip-show had Miles, Odom, Q, etc. they were high all the time. Who cares? They were a bunch of kids, literally, what the hell do you think they were gonna do?

-smoking weed isn’t bad.
-it would be great if we could smoke a joint the same as we can now drink a beer.
-many people (fear-mongerers) still think smoking weed IS bad.
-bringing odom to such people’s attention for smoking can only screw him, and it does not help establish a common view that smoking is ok; it merely adheres to the status quo idea that smoking is bad in some way.
it’s too bad this gossip has come to light
8:26 pm on October 8th, 2009
status quo,
if this is scurrilous “gossip”, why hasn’t Lamar denied? why hasn’t Lamar’s lawyers responded - and sued Star?
hundreds of thousands of people have read this story in Star and from other sources, wouldn’t you think Odom would want to set the record straight if it isn’t true?
/will never get it
9:38 pm on October 8th, 2009
its been common knowledge since odoms been in the league that hes a pothead. him and 95% of the rest of NBA players

Boy, got awfully quiet in here. *pin drop*
5:04 am on October 9th, 2009
The dude is high in half of his games which is why he’s so useless half the time going in slow motion, as if he’s focused on a black light poster with Dark side of the moon playing.
Just wonder what he’s taking when he actually plays well and shows glimpses of the player most of us thought he’d become on a nightly basis.
Maybe his connect just doesn’t through some time?

@Family Style:
Wherever you got your dictionary from, take it back immediately! You have the wrong one. You want the one that spells words CORRECTLY, not INCORRECTLY…

A basketball player smoking weed! Where has the world gone! Where all the white women at?!!?
3:19 pm on October 9th, 2009
Who….Cares….?
6:35 pm on October 9th, 2009
Yeah because the NBA doesn’t drug test during the season.
think, people
8:05 pm on October 9th, 2009
Lamar and the girl that had his 2 kids aren’t together so to call him a “cheater” is a little far fetched
1:28 am on October 10th, 2009
Well…being high helps when you fuckin ugly bitches. Hard liquor and large-face-concealing paper bags help too.
9:57 am on October 10th, 2009
so what..cant we smoke weed out of season ..bullshit…legalize it
12:38 pm on October 12th, 2009
WOW.
You found an NBA player who smokes weed, has some kids he doesn’t see very often and who flirts with women.
Is there a nobel awarded for investigative tabloid journalism? Because I think I just found a worthy nominee. Great work fellas, this must’ve been the culmination of YEARS of hard work to dig up the TRUTH.
LOL
