After days of increasing speculation about the state of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s
marriage and Odom’s possible drug addiction, the NBA player was
arrested early Friday morning and accused of driving under the
influence.
A California Highway Patrol officer said he saw Odom’s white Mercedes-Benz traveling erratically on a San Fernando Valley freeway about 4 a.m.
“Mr. Odom showed objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests,” the officer’s report said. Authorities said he later declined to take a chemical test.

Odom, 33, was booked on a charge of investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He was jailed and released after posting bail of $15,000.
This was just the cherry on top of a bad week that included the release of Eminem’s new single “Berzerk,” in which he refers to Khloe as “the ugly Kardashian.”
According to a report at www.usmagazine.com, the Detroit rapper also addresses Odom in the single: “Lamar O, sorry. We done both set the bar low.”
There’s been no word from the Kardashian family about either incident.
Chappelle was the closing act Thursday night at the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival in Hartford, Conn.
Fans say he stopped his routine after only a few minutes. He sat on a stool making comments about the situation and responding to hecklers until the end of what apparently was his contractually mandated time onstage.

■ RoboCop is back in Detroit. According to a report at www.motherjones.com, the statue of RoboCop arrived Wednesday in the D. The statue, which was originally suggested as a joke on Twitter, is the result of a Kickstarter campaign by Detroit nonprofit Imagination Station. The 1987 flick “RoboCop” was set in a futuristic Detroit.
