The Kardashians

Lots happened this week ... Kanye West's beef with photogs intensified while Lamar Odom fell even deeper into a dark hole. So we gotta ask ...

Kanye West flip-flopped back to nice guy mode with the paparazzi in France today -- a far cry from Friday's nuclear meltdown on the photogs filming in his driveway.

Ye was stepping out of a Porsche at some fancy schmancy building in Paris when once again he silenced a paparazzo from asking questions. The difference today -- he was smiling, and the pap stopped talking.

Kanye even compliments the guy ... twice!

Prosecutors in the Kanye West battery case want jurors to see all the videos of Kanye attacking photogs ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... the L.A. City Attorney believes Kanye has an M.O. -- when confronted by the paparazzi ... ATTACK. They believe what Kanye did at LAX on July 19th (see video above) -- allegedly battering a photog and trying to steal his camera -- is what he typically does ... and they want the jury to see 4 other incidents to prove their point (see videos below).

-- Friday's 4 AM incident at Kanye's Hollywood Hills home, where he went nuclear on the photogs, whom he claims were trespassing

-- July 12th: Kanye ordered a TMZ photog not to talk to him or anyone he knew, and then grabbed the camera

-- March 10th: Kanye went nuts on a photog shortly after he ran into a metal sign in Bev Hills

-- September 11, 2008: Kanye went postal on a photog at LAX. Criminal charges were filed, but later dropped after Kanye paid for the damage

Khloe Kardashian finally took a stand against Lamar Odom's crack habit and ... wait for it -- dropped his last name from her Twitter handle!

'Cause nothing says, "Peace the Hell out" in 2013 like a major Twit-diss.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian just arrived at San Francisco International Airport, en route to Paris ... and they did exactly what we said they would do ... avoid the paparazzi at LAX.

Kim and Kanye took off from the Van Nuys Airport a few hours ago and landed at SFO. They're transferring to a commercial flight that will take them nonstop to Paris.

As we first reported, Kanye has been advised by his reps NOT to fly out of LAX, because they don't want another confrontation with photogs while his criminal battery case is pending.

Problem is ... the reps didn't bank on photogs showing up at his house early this AM ... resulting in yet another confrontation.

The paparrazzi at SFO -- not ours -- also shot video of Kanye and Kim, and much like this morning ... they're clearly getting under Kanye's skin.

Also, note to all paps -- if nothing else, pronounce the guy's name right. It's KAHN-YAY.

Nothing says romance like a smelly locker room -- Khloe Kardashian is spending her 4th wedding anniversary sweating at the gym.

Khloe was just spotted cruising into an Equinox gym near her home, and wearing lightweight gloves -- maybe blowing off steam with some kickboxing or MMA fighting.

Photogs peppered Khloe with questions, including ... whether the rumors are true she's selling her house, is she getting divorced, and if she's giving Lamar Odom a second chance.

Considering they're not together on their anniversary ... it's safe to say chances are looking dim.

4:00 PM PT -- We just got this shot of Lamar cruising out of a Famima!! convenience store.

Kanye West says he's got the goods to get at least one of the photogs who showed up at his house today PROSECUTED ... TMZ has learned.

Sources directly connected to Kanye tell TMZ ... Kanye has reviewed the security footage from his Hollywood Hills home, and he says it CLEARLY shows at least one of the photogs trespassing on his private property.

We're told Kanye says he will file a police report and ask that the photog be prosecuted for criminal trespass.

As you know, two photogs (not TMZ) showed up at Kanye's house at 4 AM and peppered him with questions about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel, and Kanye went ballistic.

It's unclear who will go to the cop shop and file the report, because Kanye and Kim are on a plane right now, heading for Paris.

Kanye West went nuclear again on the paparazzi -- but this time Kanye has good reason to be pissed.

Kanye was at his bachelor pad at 4 AM, when several photogs (not TMZ) approached him as he was getting in his car to leave .... and asked about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel.

It appears Kim is also there. Sources say he and Kim were on their way to the airport with the final stop -- Paris.

Take a look at the video. An infuriated Kanye lunges at the photog but it does not appear there is any physical contact.

It looks as if the photogs are very close to Kanye's driveway -- but the photo agency insists they did not trespass.

Khloe Kardashian has made a HUGE decision -- she's dropped Lamar Odom ... or at least his last name ... from her Twitter account.

Khloe's account used to be labeled Khloe Kardashian Odom, but now when she tweets ... it only shows up as Khloe.

It can't be a coincidence -- today is her and Lamar's 4th wedding anniversary. Khloe also dropped "Odom" from her Instagram account last week.

Lamar Odom's DUI case was put on hold this morning ... as his attorney appeared in court and requested a continuance.

Lamar was not in the Van Nuys, CA courtroom for the scheduled arraignment -- he wasn't required to be there -- but his attorney Richard Hutton was ... and the judge granted a new hearing date of October 10.

Lamar Odom came back to L.A. from the Palm Springs area Wednesday night and got a MASSIVE amount of cash ... and he's telling people he's spending it on an anniversary present for Khloe Kardashian.

Sources connected to Lamar tell us ... he wants to surprise Khloe with something big today -- for their anniversary -- that will blow her away. We're told he plans to spend "well over $100,000" on a present. Sadly, he doesn't understand the only thing that would achieve the goal of blowing Khloe away -- in a good way -- would be if he lays off crack and goes to rehab.

Lamar told people on Thursday he wants to take Khloe to Santa Barbara today where they would spend the night. Our Kardashian sources say there's no way Khloe is going anywhere with Lamar given his current state.

As for Khloe, we're told she's not giving up on the marriage but she's pessimistic. One person who regularly speaks to Khloe told us she's saying, "I'm just hoping for a miracle."

Lamar Odom left the home he's been staying at in the Palm Springs area and is now back in Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.

Lamar had been staying at this house in La Quinta, near Palm Springs. This is where he's been on an intense crack binge, staying with several other people in the house. It's located in a gated community.

Last night at 8:45 ... Lamar left the house and went to the Tarzana home he was sharing with Khloe Kardashian. Sources say he stayed at the house for a "short time" and had a conversation with Khloe.

Lamar Odom did indeed tweet his support of the Kardashian family earlier this week -- contrary to what his friends are saying.

An angry tweet -- purportedly from Lamar -- went out a few days ago, in response to his father claiming the Kardashians are the reason he's fallen into a deep, dark hole.

The tweet trashes his dad, and then praises the Kardashians -- "He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return," adding, "They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time."

A source close to the Kardashian family tells TMZ ... just before pressing the button, Lamar called the family, saying he was about to tweet the message.

Lamar Odom is holed up in a private home in a gated community 100 miles from L.A. ... and his life is now revolving around smoking crack and partying with 2 young women -- and he's intimate with one of them.

Multiple sources privy to Lamar's current state tell TMZ ... Lamar has a driver who is regularly shuttling back and forth from L.A. to his rental home with one purpose -- scoring drugs, including crack.

We're told Lamar is so paranoid ... he insists the driver only buy small quantities of crack at a time, so as not to draw too much attention to him -- and that means frequent trips to score the drug.

Lamar almost never leaves the home. He's smoking crack and partying with the 2 women, both in their early 20s. His life now revolves around smoking crack and listening to rap music.

Our sources say Lamar is extremely paranoid about getting caught. He believes people -- not the 2 girls -- are watching him so he's using a phone app that allows him to text people but the texts are automatically deleted once the texts are read. The app also notifies Lamar if they try and screenshot the message.

Lamar's best friend is also staying at the house.

We're told Lamar has been living in 3 different residences in the last 2 months -- partly because he feels if he stays on the move he won't get caught.

As for Khloe ... we're told Lamar isn't worried that she'll leave him. He says he knows she loves him and has stood by him throughout the entire drug saga so he's convinced she won't abandon him now.

Lamar Odom did not send the tweet in which he trashed his father and embraced the Kardashian family ... sources directly connected to the troubled basketball star tell TMZ.

Lamar supposedly responded to his dad, who had blasted the Kardashians for causing all of Lamar's problems, including drug addiction.

Sources who have first-hand knowledge of Lamar's actions tell us ... he did NOT send the tweet. In fact, they say he has no Internet where he's staying and he wants it that way. Lamar, we're told, is unbelievably paranoid about anyone knowing his whereabouts by tapping his phone. He has a 15-second rule in the house -- no one can be on his phone for longer than that.

What's more ... when anyone comes to the house, Lamar has someone confiscate their phone at the door.

Lamar Odom's father tells TMZ he believes his son is "clean" and does NOT have a drug problem.

Joe Odom just told us he simply doesn't buy the story TMZ broke ... that Lamar is deep in the world of drug abuse and specifically crack.

A regretful Joe says he's sorry he lashed out at the Kardashians, reportedly saying Lamar would be better off without them. Joe tells us he believes the Kardashians are a "wonderful family," even though he reportedly had said "They don't give a f**k about my son."

Joe says what set him off was a segment on "The Wendy Williams Show" in which someone trashed him as a heroin addict. He says he's been clean for 30 years and adds, "Nobody's perfect."
