RUMOR CONTROL LAMAR ODOM IS NOT IN REHAB

Looking like a real crackhead these days and in need of a serious intervention, but it appears not just yet.  Lamar is not in rehab.

People reported that Lamar checked into a rehab facility earlier this week, but TMZ is now reporting that this is not true.

TMZ originally reported that Lamar had been dealing with drug addiction for years, and he more recently became addicted to crack. Sources are saying, he spent as much as $1,000 in a single day to fuel his growing addiction to crack -- according to sources familiar with the situation. 

Rumor has it, Khloe kept Lamar's drug addiction secret for at least 2 years -- but after this summer she decided enough was enough ... telling him if he didn't get treatment, she would pull the plug on their marriage.

Reports go on to say that Khloe had given Lamar an ultimatum over the weekend demanding that he get help, or end their marriage.

Sources say that Khloe had no clue where Lamar is or what he is doing, but she is hoping that he gets professional help whether she’s involved or not.

TMZ reported that Lamar tried rehab last summer, but he quit after just three weeks.
