Lamar Odom Returns to U.S. After Injury

Is Lamar Odom's European basketball career over already? Less than a month after joining Spanish basketball team Baskonia (a.k.a. Laboral Kutxa), the athlete has returned to the U.S. with an injury and a source tells he may not go back.

Odom, 34, flew out of Spain on Monday, March 10. A rep for the team tells that he had their consent to seek additional treatment, saying, "He will visit his doctors in New York who have treated him throughout his career in the States, to check with the medical tests and receive a second opinion about his back injury." A timeline for his return has not been specified, but manager Sergio Scariolo says, "If Lamar told me he would return, I'm not going to have the feeling he won't."

A source tells, however, that Odom's plans "will depend on his physical condition," and that club members are keeping their fingers crossed. "He packed everything, so it's not looking good," the insider tells of Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband. Adds another source: "He's played very few games and didn't make much impact in those he did play."

Indeed, Odom has had just 22 minutes of playing time in two games since making his debut against Unicaja Malaga on Feb. 27. Prior to that, he had been on an extended break.

"I feel good and every day I'm getting closer to closer to being on the court, but it's a work in progress," he said during a press conference at the Fernando Buesa Arena in Vitoria, Spain, on Feb. 21. "I've been away from the game for a little bit, but it's going to take some time and I have to be patient. When me and Coach Sergio and the organization get together and think it's the right time to be on the court, that will be the right time."

A rep for Odom had no comment on rumors that he would not return to Spain. However, a source close to the athlete says "he's not going back."

"He wants to stay in L.A. and make sure gets better, because you don't mess around with your back," the insider tells. "He is going to get ready for the next playoffs now. Staying in Spain a bit longer would have made his back worse, so he was advised to come home. He wants to get healthy and really take care of his back with a doctor he trusts." 

The source notes, too, that both Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner, have reached out to make sure he's okay. "They are talking," the source says. "It is amicable. Khloe and Kris both said they are here for him if he needs anything."

Kim Kardashian made sure all eyes were on her when she stepped out in L.A. on Friday, March 14, in a cherry-red minidress that showed off her toned legs, slender waist, and famously curvy derriere.

In a blog post on her website earlier on Friday, North's mom explained her obsession with fitted designs. "A trend I've been really loving right now is bodycon-style skirts and dresses!" she wrote alongside a collage of photos of herself in different outfits.

"They can easily show off your curves and flatter any body type," she continued. "You can dress them up or dress them down, which makes them perfect for any time of the day! I love going for solid colors for the ultimate simplicity and elegance."

Chris Brown Arrested for Violating Probation

Chris Brown is behind bars. The singer was arrested by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies on Friday, March 14 after Brown violated his probation.

The singer, 24, was taken into custody by deputies on Friday, March 14 in Malibu, Calif. Brown was "cooperative" during his arrest, according to a statement released Friday by the sheriff's department. He is currently being held without bail in the Inmate Reception Center of the Los Angeles County jail in downtown L.A.

A warrant was issued for Brown after the singer was booted from the Malibu rehab facility, where he has been seeking treatment for the last four months. During a court appearance last month, the facility confirmed that Brown had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, severe insomnia, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The exact cause to why Brown was booted remains unknown, but on  Friday he was unrelated to violence or drugs.

Brown voluntarily checked himself into rehab on Oct. 29 after he allegedly assaulted a man in Washington, D.C. He was ordered during his court appearance on Feb. 28 to remain in rehab for two more months.

Zoe Saldana Has Let Herself Go Apparently

I know what you're thinking. "That Zoe Saldana, what a fat ass!" Just kidding. Of course, you're not thinking that. No one is. Except maybe Zoe herself, who recently told Net-a-Porter magazine that "this past year I’ve let myself go. I’ve been eating a lot of Chinese, pasta, rice, beans ..." Celebrities.

The 35-year old Avatar actress who secretly wed Italian artist Marco Perego last June, doesn't really think she's fat however. Rather, after she got hitched she sort of relaxed, as newlyweds are wont to do. "I’ve been an active person my whole life,” Saldana said. “The past year has been the only time in my life that I haven’t been to the gym. I’ve been lazy instead of training for something and pushing myself.”

In fact, the Star Trek star revealed she usually works out to built up her stamina, not to weigh 115 lbs. "I just like to know how much endurance I have," Saldana claims. Perhaps, acting takes a lot more physical strength than previously thought?

The actress, who dated actor Bradley Cooper just before she met her husband, just filmed the NBC miniseries Rosemary's Baby. She is playing the lead role of Rosemary Woodhouse, portrayed by Mia Farrow in Roman Polanski's silver screen adaptation back in 1968. The first stills from the series have been making the rounds online.
