Lamar Odom leaving his bachelor party at STK restaurant in West Hollywood (9/25)

You know how people are saying that Khloe Kardashian married Lamar Odom for the money (I said it, Khloe's mom said it, Khloe's dad, Khloe's grandma, Khloe's grandpa, Khloe 1st grade teacher, Khloe's pastor, etc.)? It might be the other way around. From the Chicago Sun Times:

According to a spy who attended Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding in Beverly Hills, the couple ''looked like they were very much in love ... but everyone there knows this is really all about money."

The reality TV star and the L.A. Lakers forward walked the aisle Sunday. "It's a financial arrangement," the guest said, "but with Lamar not having a prenup -- and supposedly not getting a dime from mthe millions Khloe is cashing in on this wedding -- people wonder what he's getting out of this.''

An answer to that question comes from a Lakers front office staffer. ''It's all about being in the spotlight. Lamar craves the attention and he's fascinated by how Khloe and her family get it. ... It's always bugged him how Kobe [Bryant] and Shaq [O'Neal] and Michael [Jordan] are such media magnets. He wants that too. He figures being with Khloe will only help to build his brand too.''

Sorry Lamar. Building your brand like Kobe, Shaq and Michael takes one thing that you don't have: an Amazonian gender-challenged wife talent. Those other guys became superstars because they were winners, not because they married into a family made up of urinal cake impressionists, out-of-wedlock pregnant midgets, or parents that sold their soul to keep O.J. Simpson from being convicted. Did you know that Dr. Phil is actually threatening to build a studio in their basement? True story.
