TMZ has learned Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian are not legally married ... and they won't be until a prenup is signed.
We've learned two high-powered family law attorneys are already squaring off, trying to hash out the prenup Odom wants as a condition to marriage. Neal Hersh is doing his bidding, while Lisa Meyer is repping Khloe. We're told the negotiations -- which began last Friday -- are already contentious.
Our sources say the couple will tie the knot -- legally -- once the prenup is inked.

Lamar Odom thinks marriage is about "faith" and "trust" -- so that postnup he's been working on must be him having faith and trust in his lawyers.
We got L.O. walking into his rehearsal dinner in Santa Monica last night where we asked him if he thought it was a good idea to marry someone he's only known for a month. As he put it, "People get divorced after being married for 18 years ... You never know."
Dude has a point -- but still, a month is a tad quick.

There weren't any "midgets" or stripper poles -- that we know of -- but Lamar Odom still managed to pull together some sort of bachelor party at the last minute.
Joe Francis and Rob Kardashian's planned bash at Les Deux got the boot in favor of a dinner at STK and a little livin' it up at Guys and Dolls with his Lakers teammates. His two original party-planners also tagged along.
We got Odom's crew pulling up to both places -- and they were definitely rollin' in style.

Kobe Bryant will be front and center at the Lamar Odom/Khloe Kardashian nuptials this Sunday ... which means Vanessa and her $4 million ring may have a few pointers for the bride.
In fact, Lamar's rep tells TMZ all the players are planning to attend, but there are still a few question marks. Several have not RSVP'd -- Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar.
Can't blame the non-committals ... it is last minute, after all.

Lamar Odom will get the necessary training for marrying into the Kardashian klan ... because his bachelor party is being thrown by the original "Girls Gone Wild."
TMZ has learned Joe Francis is hosting Lamar's swan song to bachelorhood tomorrow at Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood. It will be a formal affair ... with stripper poles and "midgets."
Here's the good news -- Khloe's brother Rob will be there to keep an eye on Lamar ... unless he's distracted by the midgets and stripper poles.

L.A. Lakers seven foot center Pau Gasol showed off his shirtless lankiness on a boat in Spain yesterday.
The Spanish 29-year-old is a giant talent.

Orlando fans weren't the only ones who couldn't care less about the Los Angeles Lakers' victory parade yesterday. Jerry Buss -- the dude who owns the team lock, stock and barrel -- had better things to do ... playing poker at a cheesy casino all by his lonesome.
Jerry was so engrossed in his hand at the Bicycle Casino -- 10 miles from the parade route -- he wasn't even looking up at live TV coverage of the celebration. We're thinkin' any other owner would be leading the band!
Turns out, this is S.O.P. for Jerry. His peeps tell us Buss has never attended a championship parade because he hates the traffic and the attention.
Hope he's not bettin' with the Lamar Odom money ....

Rihanna's doppleganger is hella, ella mad at the AP and Yahoo for misidentifying her as RiRi at the Lakers/Magic game last night -- and now she's putting them on blast via her Twitter page.
Teyana Taylor -- who is one of Pharrell's singer protege's -- wrote:
"omgggggg if one more reporter say that im rihanna im gonna go crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... I wish the AP would do a little research. since wen am i RIhanna ... yahoo and everybody else just did a biggg f***in s**t"
Right, because it's a huuuuge stretch to think someone with a RiRi mohawk, wearing RiRi hipster shades and sitting one person away from RiRi's old boyfriend Chris Brown could possibly be RiRi.
The audacity!

Chris Brown was at last night's Lakers/Magic game, but Rihanna wasn't -- or was she?
Is it just us or does the girl just two seats from Chris look just like RiRi?

Rihanna and Chris Brown went face-to-face at last night's Lakers/Magic game in Orlando -- fortunately there was a length of the court in between them!
With Brown on one end of the court and RiRi on the other, they both watched intensely as the Lake Show came back from behind to upset the Magic in OT.
Side note: Rihanna made the celebrity highlight reel during the TV telecast. Brown -- not so much.

During Game 5 of the Playoffs last week, Tyrese Gibson decided to change the words of the National Anthem -- and now he realizes what a colossal mistake that really was.
Gibson was booed hardcore after he replaced the line "our flag was still there" with "our Lakers were still there," and when we asked about his version last night, dude turned deathly serious and extremely apologetic.

For some unknown reason, a random, hot, busty blond was all over Suge Knight outside the Lakers game last night -- and for reasons even more puzzling, he wasn't having it!
Watch her try to make out with him three times ... and get utterly denied.

Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa have filed a cross-complaint against their former maid -- but all they really want is for her to keep her mouth shut.
According to court docs filed yesterday, the Bryants fully acknowledge Maria Jimenez's right to battle them in court -- although they say her claims of abuse are "without merit." What the Bryants are really concerned with is the confidentiality agreement they claim Jimenez signed when she was hired in 2007 -- which prevents her from talking to the press and other third parties.
The Bryants feel, according to the docs, that Jimenez's press tour following her lawsuit is in violation of that agreement.
Jimenez is suing the Bryants, specifically claiming Vanessa was incredibly abusive -- even demanding that she put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve a tag from her blouse
They are all due back in court in July.
UPDATE: William Vogeler, potential Kobe-stopper and lawyer for Maria Jimenez has just released an exclusive statement to TMZ.
"The Bryants claim that they treated Maria Jimenez with the utmost respect, yet they want to silence her from talking about it. Fortunately, my client has a First Amendment right to talk about how they treated her.
Ultimately, a judge and jury will decide what really happened in the Bryant's home, And the last time I checked, the court is open to the public."

LeAnn Rimes made a giant statement about her reportedly shaky marriage in Brentwood today, showing off that big, giant honkin' diamond ring on her finger...
But in the same week she put her Tennessee mansion on the market and happened to run into rumored hook-up Eddie Cibrian at the Lakers game, we gotta ask -- doth the lady protest too much!?
