Lamar Odom engaged to Khloe Kardashian (update: They are getting married Sunday.)
After a whirlwind six-week courtship, the Lakers forward is engaged to be married to reality TV star Khloe Kardashian.
"Khloe and Lamar want to get married before Lamar has to go away for training, and the season starts up [this fall]," a source told Us Weekly. "They are hoping to pull together a wedding within the next few weeks so they can get married and have a honeymoon."
And Kim Kardashian, Khloe's more famous sister, seems happy about the union.
"They're very, very happy," Kim told People.com. "They are literally inseperable. Khloe thinks he's amazing and makes her laugh and smile constantly."
The reality star plans to marry Odom this Sunday in the Los Angeles area, multiple sources confirmed to people.com. The ceremony is being thrown together so quickly that guests are being notified by phone that formal invitations will arrive this week, the sources add.
But the best news: Finally Vanessa Bryant will have someone to hang out with during games.

Lamar! Don't fall for the okie doke. Please, please make sure to have her sign a prenuptial agreement. If you don't, she'll own you because as soon as you get divorced, she'll take half of your money. If she refuses to sign a prenup, man up and let her go.

I guess Mr. Odom doesn't watch her show(s)!
Could he not find a beautiful black woman with class and no baggage? I mean...you are engaged to some other pro's cast off! Not to mention she is coarse, has a filthy mouth and absolutely no class!!

Well you know what they say there is a sucker born everyday, good luck man.

What? Is she blackmailing you? Why would you ever marry her? Is she "with child"? After only six weeks??????? You could have visited Vegas for a little sum'n sum'n if that's what you were in need of. You better get on the phone and talk to her sisters X Reggie Bush. I'm sure he can give you all the low-down about these girls. You seem to be takin' lessons from Kobe. I give Kobe’s’ marriage another year before his wife goes for the cash ($$$$$$$). I thought that you were only inconsistent and unstable on the basketball court, but it seems that you are that way in your personal life too!
Good Luck

omg can you guys plz get a life??? she is a very pretty girl. who cares if she has no class or whatever she makes him happy doesnt she??? why else would he want to marry her? and im sry but he is not very good looking... and o yea she has money of her own she doesnt need his! you people need to just grow up and live your own life and stop caring about someones that you dont even know! if they get divorced then they get divorced. but people can make this work after 6 weeks.

Why does someone always have to bring up the race/inter-racial thing? Who cares??? If they've found someone who makes them happy, regardless of what race they are, then good for them!

She's built like Shaq and has a mouth to match. What are you thinking Lamar?
Posted by: dave | September 21, 2009 at 01:05 PM
Khloe!! I just saw you last night afraid to date on your show. Does this mean you can Kourtney are leaving Miami?
I am so happy for you. Just remember marriage is something you always have to work at. It is what you make it. Congrats.
