Lamar Odom Cleared of Fashion Faux Pas It's NOT the Same Hoodie!

Published | Updated

Lamar Odom's stylist is setting the record straight for all the people who think LO's been stomping around in the same grey hoodie since the night we saw him in a dive bar.

Nate Turner, who's been styling Lamar since his days with the Clippers, is PO'ed everyone can't spot the big friggin' difference in Lamar's now-signature outfit. Remember, we first saw the hoodie in question at the bar, then the next morning at Easter service ... and then again at a Lakers game.

Nate's clearing Lamar's good name though -- and points out they're clearly different hoodies. He says Odom came into his Men's Land store at the Fox Hills Mall a few weeks ago ... and picked out a few of them.

We thought Lamar was just changing t-shirts underneath the same sweatshirt, but Nate points out the shirts are actually attached to the hoodie.

So, looks like he's got a pattern: black sleeves for evenings, white for daytime ... or maybe just church. Point is ... the man's NOT wearing the same dirty hoodie everyday.

Mystery solved.

Kanye West April Fools!! That's Not My IKEA Line

Published | Updated

Kanye West is a man of many talents -- but he hasn't yet mastered furniture design -- despite the rumblings on the Internet.

Mixmag, a UK based culture magazine, posted a story and photos Friday premiering IKE4, what they claim to be 'Ye's new line with IKEA. It's no coincidence the story went up on April Fools' Day because our Kanye sources tell us it's all fake, and Yeezy wasn't in on the joke.

Yeezy did meet with IKEA honchos last month who told us, "Kanye West came by our design department to explore IKEA and our design." But it's unclear exactly what went down during the meeting.

It's probably a good thing the story's a joke ... leotards on chairs just don't look too comfy.

Aaliyah Photog Sues My Portrait Is One In A Million

Published | Updated

A NYC photographer is going after a t-shirt company for taking one of his final shots of Aaliyah before her death ... and slapping it on t-shirts with a Warhol twist.

Eric Johnson says he did the photo shoot with the R&B star in 2001 ... shortly before she died that year. In his lawsuit, he says a company called Rocksmith is using his iconic pic without permission.

Johnson says this is especially disturbing since he has his own t-shirt line featuring photos of Aaliyah and other celebs he's shot over the years. He's pissed about the competition, but the docs also include a jab about Rocksmith's tees being poor quality.

His concern seems to be the competition's trying to undercut him with cheaper, lower quality gear. He's suing for damages and to get Rocksmith shut down, stat.

Earlier this year, Johnson also sued a GA company, Fvmous, for jacking a different Aaliyah pic for its own line.

Tyga Landlord Sues You're an Ink Stain on Humanity!!!

Published | Updated

Tyga did the equivalent of dining and dashing with his landlord ... so he's being sued again for being a nightmare tenant.

Here's the lowdown. Tyga rented space for his company, Egypt Last Kings Clothing. As you know, he's into Egyptian design, even naming his kid Cairo.

So, one day in June 2015, Tyga's landlord found the place abandoned, and it was a disaster. The doors had been painted black with Egyptian patterns, the ceiling tiles were painted over and there were ink stains around 5,000 feet of concrete flooring. What's worse ... the landlord says someone poured ink down the drain and into the public sewer ... an environmental no-no.

The landlord claims he spent more than $75,000 to repair the damage. The landlord also wants 5 months of rent.

As for Tyga ... he says the problems were the landlord's doing and the building wasn't up to code.
