Lamar Odom

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian got married last month, in a beautiful ceremony that wasn't at all paid for by E! and staged for a reality show.

Making the event even more romantic was the rumor that it wasn't legally binding because the two sides were still hashing out the details of a pre-nuptial agreement.

Now, however, the totally smitten couple can sign on the dotted line of a marriage contract: TMZ reports a pre-nup has been worked out.

The site states the couple has orally (hehe, orally!) agreed to a deal. Odom's new $33 million contract is off the table, as he'll be able to claim all his assets as his own.

But the Lakers star will fund a joint account for the pair, and will provide Khloe with a static annual sum throughout the marriage; yes, this is essentially an allowance for his wife.

Odom will also purchase a house for the couple. The desperate pleas for attention and contrived photo ops for the pair? Khloe is in charge of those.

Pay close attention, aspiring socialites: Khloe Kardashian is teaching a class on how to become rich and famous by not doing anything at all.

First, get married to someone else famous, even if you've only known him for a month.

Second, have the marriage filmed for your upcoming reality show.

Third, sell the wedding pics to a tabloid.

Fourth, draw attention to a celebrity gossip report, refute it and create new headlines by... doing nothing at all. Which was the initial goal, as outlined above.

Khloe practiced the art of the last point earlier today: apparently, Star magazine published a story that said her and Lamar Odom had split because he refused to give her a massage. Was anyone aware of this before Khloe pointed it out?

Would anyone take it seriously? Of course not.

But Khloe took to her blog today and shot down the report, thereby milking attention for it. She wrote:

"I seriously died when I read that! LOL. Star is known for doing evil, fake and RIDICULOUS stories about my family... [it is] becoming the Enquirer. Next thing you know they'll be saying that Kourtney is giving birth to a cat! LOL. All of their stories are absurd, but at least we get a good laugh from their lies."

Would anyone out there be surprised if Khloe's people planted this story, just to give her the platform to deny it? Neither would we.

The celebrity gossip world's collective jaw pretty much hit the floor when it learned that reality star Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were dating.

When they got married after knowing each other for only 32 days, that was even more out of left field. And quite possibly not even legally binding.

But still, insane! No one could believe what they were seeing.

We're just talking about ourselves here. So you can imagine Lara Manoukian - Lamar’s supposed girlfriend of seven years - was really shocked!

“My heart is destroyed,” Lara later told a friend, according to Star.

“I treated that fool like a king... from cooking to cleaning his place, anything you can think of, I’ve done for that man.... This dude has lost his mind!”

Lara Manoukian may not have really dated Lamar Odom, and may not even be a real person. But when she says "dude has lost his mind," you can't argue with her there!

While Lara’s heart is broken, her family isn’t shedding any tears over Khloé and Lamar’s September nuptials (follow the link for heartwarming wedding photos).

Her stepfather, Harry Diramarian, tells Star that the L.A. Lakers forward cheated on his stepdaughter repeatedly - long before Khloe Kardashian was in the mix.

"She feels betrayed because they were still a couple when Khloé entered the picture. They were breaking up and getting back together for seven years," he said.

"Lamar would cheat on her with other women.”

Lamar has two kids with ex Liza Morales, 10-year-old daughter Destiny and 7-year-old son Lamar, Jr. He has also been linked to Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson.

The late September wedding of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom continues to pique celebrity gossip readers' interest. And make both of them a lot of money.

Last week, we took you inside the wedding of the reality star and NBA player. Now, more pictures of the magical ceremony and reception have been released.

Here's the bride and groom (who's reportedly still hammering out a prenup, as this wedding wasn't legal or anything, but rather just done for E!'s purposes):

Do you think Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom make a cute couple?

Not only does OK! have quality pics of the bride and groom, but shots of Kim and Kourtney helping Khloe get ready, toasting together, and much more.

Talk about a match made in heaven. Khloe, Kim, Kourtney and E! make such a perfect fit, we can't ever see them parting ways. Oops, we meant Lamar.

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian are officially man and wife ... at least as far as the lavish ceremony and wedding pictures in magazines are concerned.

As far as the wedding being legally binding, however? That hasn't gone down yet. But Lamar has met with his lawyer to hash out a prenuptial agreement.

Odom went to the Beverly Hills law office of divorce-guru Neal Hersh last Friday to hash out terms. Odom's peeps say that "Lamar has a set of balls."

Translation: He's not giving Khloe half of anything.

According to reports, Lamar insists on a prenup that guarantees money and other assets he brings into the contrived marriage are solely his.

Taking it several steps beyond that, rumor has it that Lamar does not wish to give Khloe half of his (significant) earnings going forward, either.

Lamar signed a four-year, $33 million contract with the L.A. Lakers in July.

How will the baller's stance play with his fake bride Khloe Kardashian?

No clue, but we're sure we'll find out on a very special episode of Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami. We'll also learn what kravings Kourtney has this week.

How long will the marriage last?

We love our job.

As one of the leading celebrity gossip sites on the Internet, you'll never hear The Hollywood Gossip complain about how fortunate we are to serve the public our take on the latest scandals, nude photos, relationships and more.

Sometimes, though, we cringe at the obligation to publish such craptastic stories as the contrived marriage between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom.

To all those that somehow believe gay couples ruin the sanctity of marriage, what about this kind of nonsense? Where is the outrage over celebrities that use sacred vows as a means for publicity and money? It's something to think about.

With that out of our system, we're not proud to present a look at the recent wedding ceremony and reception.

Follow this article's jump to view clips of Khloe showing off her obnoxious ring and the couple pretending to tie the knot for any reason aside from reality show fodder.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner can have an extra serving of dessert tonight.

The little sisters of Khloe, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian will likely be rewarded for their actions, as the young pair made their family very proud this week when they spoke to E! News.

Taking a page out of the Kardashian playbook - i.e. use any occasion to make headlines of any kind - Kendall spoke to the network about future nephews and nieces.

"I know Khloé has always wanted to have kids, because when me and Kylie were little, she would babysit us... I know she'll be a great mom."

Experts on love and child rearing, Kendall and Kylie Jenner are being indoctrinated into the world of entertainment news and gossip.

When asked for her take on the speed with which Khloe met and married Lamar Odom, 12-year old Kyle - yes, 12-year old Kylie! - said:

"You can't control love. They're in love with each other. I think they're a great couple. I think it's going to last their whole life."

The key to the relationship, Kylie added, was the cootie shot she gave her sister a few weeks ago.

Khloe Kardashian married Lamar Odom in a lavish, made-for-television ceremony last weekend.

But you'd scarcely know that based on the latest issue of OK! Weekly, which paid approximately $300,000 for exclusive photos from the event.

On the cover, the smiling bride is front and center - but squint and look closely or you'll miss the beaming husband. Odom is overshadowed in the main picture by Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, a fact he'll have to adjust to every time a camera is around...

Other details from the publicity-garnering wedding include:

• Perrier-Jouët champagne was served;
• Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds serenaded the couple with a rendition of “You Are So Beautiful;"
• During her toast, Kris Jenner got choked up, saying, “Everyone knows I boohoo in public!”

Well, not everyone knows that. They will, however, when E! airs its Kardashian wedding special on November 8. Kill us now. Please.

There were 250 guests, a camera crew and a $4,500 hairstyle on the bride.

However, many sources are claiming last Sunday's wedding between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom was not legally binding because the pair is still working out a prenuptial agreement.

But the groom, new to the world of celebrity gossip, takes exception to this rumor. At a press conference at the Lakers' media day Wednesday, the power forward told reporters:

"It's crazy how perception works in America when you're looking at things from the outside. Anybody that was there will tell you that it was a beautiful event and it was real."

Yes, Lamar Odom spoke on his wedding to Khloe Kardashian at Lakers' media day. Los Angeles fans hoping for back-to-back NBA titles ought to be thrilled about that.

Meanwhile, those that weren't important enough to see the ceremony in person can tune in to E! on November 8 for a special episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

In related news, viewers that actually do this will need to get a life immediately afterwards.

According to Kim Kardashian it was "a night to remember." One of the best of her life, in fact, based on the reality star's Twitter account.

We're sure the entire Kardashian clan feels the same way. After all, the wedding between Khloe and Lamar Odom is dominating every celebrity gossip headline today. Everything is going just as planned!

When the couple gets divorced in six months and magazines once again cover the development in depth, it will another reason to celebrate.

For now, we'll go along with the ruse and pretend as though the wedding was a beautiful, love-filled affair. It was certainly a hit among famous guests, such as serial cheater Kobe Bryant and his scorned wife, Vanessa:

We'd love to show you photos from the actual ceremony, but Khloe and Lamar have already sold them to the highest bidder. Our offer of $10 and a bag of peanut M&Ms was turned down.

Still, you can click on the pics below for shots of more guests at the event, such as Ryan Seacrest and Adrienne Bailon...
