Lamar Odom Calling the Shots at Hospital ... Khloe Didn't Block Father
Lamar Odom is doing well enough that he's making his own decisions at the hospital, including who gets in to visit him -- so Khloe Kardashian had nothing to do with his dad getting turned away.
Our sources tell us Lamar's recovery has progressed to the point that he is communicating with doctors and fully participating in decisions about his treatment. We're told that's why Khloe finally decided to leave the hospital a few days ago.
As for what went down when Joe Odom went to the hospital -- we're told Khloe was not even there at the time ... so, if anyone blocked Lamar's dad, it was most likely Lamar himself.

Kourtney Kardashian Oh, Brother ... Where For Art Thou?
Kourtney Kardashian got a little nostalgic about her brother, and she picked a weird way to show it ... posting a pic of him with his hand down his pants.
The photo, showing a skinny Rob Kardashian, is old from when Rob was living at Khloe and Lamar's pad. It was taken about 4 years ago and posted on a fan blog site.
Maybe Kourt just discovered that site, or more likely ... she's doing what all the sisters have been doing in recent months -- posting old pics of Rob, which they frequently delete.
Of course, Rob's been out of the spotlight ever since Kim's wedding last year. So, they're either encouraging him to resurface, or just giving him a public S/O to say ... we still got you, bro.
Regardless ... sweet Bundy pose!

Kim Kardashian Baby Shower Is In-Tents ... And Khloe Shows Up
Kim Kardashian went full girlie for her baby shower -- as in a Girl Scouts themed party -- a family event big enough to get Khloe Kardashian to leave Lamar Odom's side.
All of the the Kardashian/Jenner sisters showed up Saturday to a Beverly Hills home wearing matching pajamas for the party, which recaptured a piece of Kim's childhood ... the movie, "Troop Beverly Hills." They even had tents in the living room, and of course ... Thin Mints and Samoas.
Kim's baby shower was originally cancelled due to Lamar's health crisis, but with his condition stabilizing ... they decided to go ahead, since Khloe was now able to be there.
No word if Thin Mints were frozen before serving, but everyone knows they should be.
Right?

Khloe Kardashian Lamar Has Sworn Off Drugs And That's Why I Took Him Back
Lamar Odom won Khloe Kardashian back by convincing her he would never do drugs again after hitting rock bottom.
Our sources tell us, Lamar told Khloe over the weekend he knew he cheated death, promising, "I am done with drugs." He also thanked her profusely for coming to Vegas and supporting him. He repeatedly told her that he loved her, and that was enough.
We're told Khloe made the decision right then to drop the divorce and nurse Lamar back to health.
TMZ broke the story ... Khloe's lawyer, Laura Wasser, went to court Wednesday and got the judge to dismiss the divorce case.
That all said, we're told not everyone in the Kardashian family thinks Khloe's decision is sound, because they've heard this from Lamar before.
Kim Kardashian It's My Birthday ... But Everybody's Gotta Stick Out
Kim Kardashian's 35th birthday bash was a sympathetic affair -- cause when you're 7 months pregnant the best gift is to be surrounded with a roomful of big-bellied women ... even if they're faking.
Kanye West rented out a movie theater Wednesday night for Kim's surprise party -- they watched "Steve Jobs" -- but more importantly ... he had all the guests wear fake baby bumps. The man knows the way to her heart.
Interestingly, Kylie Jenner decided the baby bump fit better over her butt. Based on this pic ... we ain't arguing.
Apparently, Kendall Jenner's invitation said "bra optional." Again ... who's complaining?

Khloe Kardashian Sued You Freaked Out My Dog During Fireworks Show
Khloe Kardashain may have had fun bankrolling a massive midnight fireworks display for her now ex-boyfriend James Harden, but a dog living nearby was allegedly so freaked out he'll never be the same, so the owner is now suing her.
James Ferguson, a Marina del Rey resident, filed the lawsuit in small claims court, claiming the explosions created "a disturbance that harmed our family and pet."
James was not specific -- whether the pooch now freaks out at loud noises or craps on the carpet -- but he clearly thinks the damage is severe, because he's suing for $7,500.
Khloe, Harden and a bunch of guests watched the fireworks show on a boat just outside Marina del Rey. Thousands of sleeping locals were not amused.

Khloe Kardashian My Security Blanket Helped Save Lamar
Khloe Kardashian had a good luck charm at Sunrise Hospital when Lamar Odom was fighting for his life -- her leopard print blanket, and maybe it worked.
The blanket was frequently seen on "Khloe & Lamar" ... the couple laying in bed, wrapped in it.
When Khloe rushed to Lamar's bedside last week she brought the blanket for comfort and good luck. Not to screw with luck, Khloe made sure the blanket was snuggly wrapped around Lamar's body on the chopper ride back to L.A.
We're told it has truly been a security blanket for Khloe since she and Lamar split. She travels with it and she's been seen clutching the blanket on "Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons," where she told Kris she wasn't ready to give up on the relationship.
We're told it's a source of comfort for Lamar as well ... and it seems to be a source of rebonding.

Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!"

Former White House Social Sect'y Kardashians & 'Dash Dolls' They're Ruining My Image!!!
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 35 shares
The former Social Secretary to Nancy Reagan claims her appearance on the Kardashian's reality series "Dash Dolls" has ruined her reputation in D.C., and she wants to be 86'd from the show STAT.
Gahl Burt is the former Social Secretary, and she's still very much a part of the political landscape ... she's super close with Hillary Clinton.
Gahl's daughter Caroline is one of the stars of "Dash Dolls." Somehow Caroline convinced her mom to appear on the show, and it's created big problems.
The mom was portrayed as a hyper-conservative parent, at one point telling her daughter, "You lost your brains, you have lost your mind!"
Gahl is upset for multiple reasons ... she feels the show makes her look like a bad parent, and she's also worried an apparent association with the Kardashian family might not go over well in Hillary's inner-circle.
Sources tell us Gahl fired off an email this week to producers asking to be removed from all future episodes.
So far ... no word if "Dash Doll" producers will oblige.

Lamar Odom No Signs of Improvement Prognosis Worsens
Lamar Odom's condition has deteriorated, and doctors are now telling the family the longer he remains in the condition he's in the less likely it is that he will recover.
Sources tell TMZ, Lamar did indeed squeeze Khloe's hand Wednesday night, which gave everyone hope, but Thursday morning doctors are saying it well could have been an involuntary movement.
As of Thursday morning, our sources say Lamar has shown no signs of consciousness or improvement. We're told 4 organs, including his kidneys, continue to fail. Our sources say doctors have been clear ... the fact that Lamar is not getting better significantly reduces his chances of survival.
As we reported, on Wednesday doctors gave Lamar a 50/50 chance of pulling through.
As one source put it, "The doctors are concerned it has been too long that he's been in this condition and now it's not looking good."

Scott Disick Checks into Rehab ... For His Kids
Scott Disick is back in rehab ... partly in hopes of winning a victory in his child custody battle.
Sources connected to Disick tell us he checked in last weekend to a facility in Malibu, and has not only admitted he has a problem ... but cut ties with some of his usual party pals.
We're told Disick took the leap because of his kids -- he's gunning for unsupervised visits. He's told friends Kourtney Kardashian won't let him have unsupervised visitation until she knows he's clean. Us Weekly first reported Scott's effort to get clean.
Disick made an abbreviated run at rehab earlier this year when he went to a center in Costa Rica that used hallucinogenic plants for treatment. He lasted a week before bailing.
Scott's decision to enter rehab came, coincidentally, just as Lamar Odom was going off the rails in Nevada.

Lamar Odom 50/50 Chance for Survival
Lamar Odom's survival is right on the line.
Sources at the hospital tell us doctors are now saying Lamar has a 50/50 chance of surviving after enduring multiple medical problems ... the apparent result of complications from drug use.
Our sources say doctors are saying 4 of Lamar's organs, including his kidneys, are failing. As we reported, he's had a series of strokes in the hospital and has heart problems as well.
The doctors are saying with each failing organ the chances of survival go down significantly.
We're also told doctors are having trouble determining the extent of any brain damage because the organ issues make it difficult to test and get an accurate reading on brain function.
