Lamar's Last Minute Party

The stripper poles, midgets and all around douche factor at Le Deux that "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis has planned to celebrate Lamar Odom's upcoming nuptials to Khloe Kardashian?
Scrapped.
Instead Odom's bachelor party was relocated to STK restaurant on La Cienega. According to US Magazine the night started at around 10:15 pm and relocated to the club Guys and Dolls.
Attending were Francis, teammates Ron Artest, Sasha Vujacic, Josh Powell and DJ Mbenga with Clippers Rasual Butler and Marcus Camby.
Odom reportedly was smiling the entire time, and Ron Artest gave a toast after 1 am to the cheers of all clubgoers.
ESPN 710's Beto Duran at Lakers media day today reported on Twitter that head coach Phil Jackson is going to the wedding and is supportive of Odom.
