Lamar Odom

One week after we saw Lamar Odom traded to Dallas, Bruce and Kris Jenner decided to pay a visit to bid farewell to Khloe Kardashian on Khloe & Lamar.

While Bruce supports Khloe's decision to move to Big D, it's more than Kris can take ... at least according to the script from Ryan Seacrest Productions.

Fans of the couple (assuming there are some) have been looking forward to watching this play out since news of the trade broke, so let's recap it all ...

"We all know you're a strong girl, and you have to be there for everybody else. But who's going to be there for Khloe?" - Kris. Um, the whole giant family? Also, he's just an NBA superstar who got traded, not a fallen soldier. Minus 10.

"My family and I have never really lived apart, but Lamar needs me." - Khloe. Plus 50.

That he does. When she arrives, she senses something amiss with his transient lifestyle in Dallas. "Lamar is so sore and tired and he needs his own bed. I have got to find us a place ASAP," she says. Attentive wife. Plus 20.

Lamar's feeling the heat: "Being on a new team for the first time, everything is mental and all eyes are on me. The pressure is on." Minus only 5, because while the man gets paid millions to perform under pressure, we do sympathize.

High drama on Khloe & Lamar this week, and for once, it wasn't even all contrived.

Yes, the Dallas Mavericks' trade for Lamar Odom might not go down as a brilliant move from a personnel standpoint, but it will always have this footnote:

It produced a genuine, unscripted reaction from a Kardashian. Well done, Dallas.

Fans of the couple (assuming there are some) have been looking forward to this episode since news of Lamar's trade broke. So let's recap it all ...

The NBA lockout is over! Bring on the massive paychecks! Plus 20!

Oh, and you might be traded, Lamar's agent says. Ouch. Minus 30.

"That stuff is more stressful than not playing basketball," Lamar says. "It's part of our business, but hopefully I can stay in L.A." Except that some reports suggested he had actually asked for the trade or was at least consulted all along. Minus 25.

"Our world can turn upside down," Khloé says of Lamar being dealt, which happens while she's on the plane to New York for "work." He gets traded to the New Orleans Hornets, a trade which is nullified, confusing everyone. Plus 15.

He's still getting traded like ASAP. Minus 10.

First, Kim Kardashian. Now, Khloe Kardashian.

Following her sister shooting down a tabloid's claim that she stole Eduardo Cruz from Eva Longoria, Khloe has now come out and defended the health and happiness of her marriage, following a Star Magazine story that screams she and Lamar Odom are nearing THE END.

The publication quotes an unnamed source that says the "strain" on Khloe and Lamar's marriage is due to the couple actually spending a lot of time together in Dallas.

"They have no absence from each other to make the heart grow fonder," this insider alleges. "When they were in L.A. and did the show, it was a reward because that is when they would see each other - but now it's too much."

What say you, Khloe, to this charge? The reality star's latest Tweets include:

• Finally! The truth... along with a link to a Kardashian friend calling the accusations "ridiculous" on Gossip Cop.
• Save the drama for your mama baby! LOL
• @KhloeDashDolls it shows you how sick people are. They would rather have pain then love... Sad world.

There was no shortage of issues on Khloe & Lamar last night.

While Lamar struggled to allow his father Joe back into his life, Malika Haqq wrestled with the idea of getting breast implants. What did she end up deciding?!?!

Khloe Kardashian, of course, was the sidekick in each of these plot lines, and ever so helpful. Come along for THG's recap of the Khloe & Lamar madhouse:

Lamar's father Joe calls him and suggests they go on a trip together. Cute idea that Ryan Seacrest Productions came up with, but Lamar balks. Plus 13.

"My father was in and out of my life for a long period of time. He wants to go on vacation, but I've gotta draw the line." - Lamar. That line was crossed when you signed on for this show, man, but Minus only 7 because daddy issues are tough.

At dinner, Joe asks if Lamar has any bracelets he can have. Good ice-breaker. Minus 12.

Turkey and Armenia have a strained relationship, dating back to the former's massacre of the Ottoman Armenian population between 1915 and 1917.

Why do we bring up such historical atrocities on a celebrity gossip site? Because Khloe Kardashian does so on this Sunday's installment of her painful reality show, reacting to the possibility of her husband playing overseas in Turkey with a phone call to her uncle.

Would it actually be permissible for someone of Armenian descent to live on that country? It's a complicated question, but Khloe can at least take solace in the fact that it was contrived for television: Lamar Odom was never considering such a career move.

Khloe & Lamar Clip: On the Move

Khloe Kardashian was already annoying as hell with the baby talk thing.

Last night took it to a new level, though, as she full-on embarrassed her man at a photo shoot with her babying tendencies. Weak, girlfriend. Get it together.

Meanwhile, Rob Kardashian makes a big career decision, but K is not exactly supportive. Come along for THG's latest recap of the Khloe & Lamar madhouse:

"I probably baby Lamar more than the average wife." - Khloe. Probably. Minus 10.

She annoyingly explains, "I don't have a baby right now. He is my child." Fail. Not everyone with no kids talks to grown ass men that way, so Minus 100.

When she calls the coordinator at his shoot to make sure he eats, Lamar says, "I'm a grown man, and it's just embarrassing." To say the least. Plus 20.

Later, Lamar handcuffs himself to Khloe, saying, "You play silly games with me, so I'm going to play silly games with you." Good one, writers. Plus 10.

Seriously. Last week it's insomnia, now baby talk. Is nothing sacred for Lamar anymore? The guy was sent to the D-league! Give him a break. Minus 40.

The two go to a meeting for their new fragrance still handcuffed. Plus 10.

Khloe babies him during the meeting, then the fight continues. Plus 10.

Lamar Odom is on his way back to the NBA.

The Dallas Mavericks star - who had volunteered to play a game in the D League in order to get back into shape after missing a week of action for personal reasons - will suit up tonight for a game against the Utah Jazz.

And he has a lot to prove to Coach Rick Carlisle.

"Our fans want to know that Lamar's in," Carlisle told ESPN Dallas 103.3. "Our players want to know that Lamar's in. It's not about how many points he's scoring or rebounds; those things are a factor. Our fans, our players want to see the guy playing like his pants are on fire and we haven't seen that so far and that's got to change."

Don't worry, though, Rick, Khloe Kardashian Tweeted late this week that she's "putting fantastic vibes out into the universe. Vibes do your thing."

So everything will be fine.

Lamar Odom is not ready to play in the NBA again. Not yet at least.

The reality star, who left the Dallas Mavericks over a week ago to be with his ailing father, has been temporarily relegated to for his team's D-league affiliate, the Texas Legends, for one game in order to "get his legs back under him," a source tells ESPN.

That contest will take place tomorrow night and then Odom - whose 7.7 points per game this season are half his career average - will likely rejoin the Mavs for a big game against the Thunder on March 5.

Lamar's wife, meanwhile, is facing a problem of her own: Khloe Kardashian and her sisters have been sued for $5 million because they are bit fat liars. Well, big skinny liars. But still.

After a sex-swing filled season 2 premiere one week ago, the newest episode of Khloe & Lamar was more subdued, as the latter was literally losing sleep over the NBA lockout. This had widespread ramifications for the family.

Read on for THG's recap of the episode, +/- style...

"I think it's because of the lockout," Lamar says. "Basketball's always been able to wear me down." Wonder if he blames his 8 PPG/5 RPG on the lockout too. Minus 29.

Lamar says he sometimes goes 2-3 DAYS without sleeping. Plus 19 for even being able to function as a human being, much less in an NBA game, if that's even half-true.

"Lamar has been keeping me up. It is so frustrating," Khloe whines. Minus 7.

Due to Lamar keeping Khloe up all night, she oversleeps and ends up being late to a photo shoot. Plus 10 for sparing us Khloe Kardashian pics for a few hours.

"You have not been able to get pregnant because of our guys' sleep schedule," Kim Kardashian says. "It's out of hand." As is Kim's entire existence. Minus 20.

The poster above says "Wherevear." Minus 40.

The NBA season Lamar Odom would likely just wish to forget took a tragic, personal turn this week.

Already struggling on the court - the power forward is averaging just 7.7 points and 4.5 rebounds his first year in Dallas - the reality star missed his team's game against the  Lakers on Wednesday and will return some time after this weekend's All-Star break.

The reason for his absence?

"Lamar's dad had a health scare. It's very serious," an insider tells E! News, although Lamar's father reportedly told Radar Online that he's "depressed," but doing "a lot better" now.

Lamar and Khloe Kardashian are spending time with the former's family in Los Angeles while Joe Odom battles this illness and Dallas coach Rick Carlisle expects his bench player will return early next week.
