Lamar Odom Pleads Not Guilty to DUI Charge

Lamar Odom pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor driving under the influence charge stemming from his arrest in the Valley late in August.
Odom did not appear at the arraignment at the Van Nuys Courthouse, City News Service reported. His attorney Richard Hutton entered the plea on his behalf. A pretrial hearing was scheduled for Nov. 8.
The DUI charge stemmed from Odom being clocked going 50 mph on the 101 freeway while driving in a "serpentine manner" in the early morning hours of August 30. Odom refused to take a chemical test.
Of course there are many reports and rumors surrounding the 33-year old former Clipper and former Laker who is married to Khloe Kardashian. Just a simple Google search on Odom brings up the all of the latest rumors:
- TMZ reports that thanks to a prenup, a divorce will be a breeze.
- NY Daily News reports that Lamar and Khloe were seen together yesterday!!! They also reported that Lamar is attempting to clean up on his own while Khloe thinks he's a liar.
- HollywoodLife.com reports that Lamar wants to get Khloe back and is determined to get his life back in order.
Apparently Kris and Bruce Jenner have separated or have been separated for a while or something? And how does Rob fit in all of this?
Sorry. I'm usually stuck at the sports desk, so I'm a little behind on everything Kardashian-related. Isn't their reality show supposed to end?
