It appears that family ties are way stronger than paparazzi razzing. Khloe Kardashian has come into defense of sister Kim Kardashian against her pregnancy weight gain attacks in the media. Khloe wrote a letter putting all gossip pages on blast and Kim helped to spread the word by posting the note on her blog.

“I find it disturbing that society loves to critique a woman’s shape no matter how beautiful or happy she may be within herself,” Khloe writes. She continued that anyone who dares to “criticize a woman who is growing another life inside of her is true scum in my eyes.”

Khloe wrote that Kim’s pregnancy should be the, “most memorable and beautiful” time of her sister’s life.  She added, “I would hurt for her for years if all she remembers is the pain and emotional abuse she has received from so many vicious people.” Khloe also warned Kim K critics to, “stop being so careless with your words.”

Khloe’s final sentiments in the letter were loving words of support to her sister Kim. “…You may be one of the strongest people I know… I commend you for not putting your head down and going into hiding like so many people would,” Khloe writes. She finished, “I wish you could see how you have this pregnant glow and you sparkle everyday! I couldn’t be prouder to be your sister!!!”

Now, do the Kim K naysayers have  any questions?

Khloe Kardashian and basketball star Lamar Odom have been trying to have a baby for nearly four years and have been unsuccessful. But Khloe insists it’s not because she has infertility issues. The 28-year old blames her hormones and says the timing has been off for the couple.

Kardashian opened up about the sensitive subject in the June 2013 issue of Redbook.

“I do think my difficulty getting pregnant has helped a lot of women,” Khloe tells the magazine. “Do I wish people would quit asking me about it 24/7? Yes, but I don’t regret it.”

Khloe began her baby-making journey in 2008 soon after she and Odom wed. But today she admits that while she wants to be a mom, she isn’t the baby-desperate Kardashian sister that the media’s made her out to be.

“I was 26 when that started, and I admit, I didn’t know a lot about my body. It was hard for me to understand what was happening because my mom had six kids, and Kourtney got pregnant quickly,” says Khloe. “People assume I’m desperate for a baby. And yes, I would love to have a baby. But I’m 28, and I’ve been married three and a half years. I love my life, but it doesn’t feel incomplete right now.”

Her problem? Khloe discovered she has a hormone imbalance that she just recently figured out how to stabilize.

“I was taking hormone shots to stabilize them, and you have to take those shots consistently and they have to be done by a doctor — you can do them yourself, but I couldn’t,” says Khloe. As to why she was unsuccessful in the past, she added, “It’s a commitment and I don’t mind doing it, but the timing was just off.”

Only time will tell if there will be another Kardashian baby in the family’s near future.

In this real-life addition of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, things appear to be a bit turbulent on the relationship front for one of the sisters.

Rumors are currently swirling that Khloe Kardashian has stepped out on her marriage to Lamar Odom — at least emotionally.

Radaronline is reporting via Star Magazine that Khloe has cozied up to rapper The Game, who now is a fitness adviser to both she and her younger brother Rob Kardashian.

“They talk all the time,” a Kardashian source tells Star. “She even texts him while Lamar sleeps in their bed right next to her. The Game has been a rock for Khloe, listening to her problems, giving her advice and telling her she’s beautiful inside and out. He keeps saying she can do better than Lamar and she needs a man like him, who’d treat her like the queen she is.”

Some speculate that this is Khloe’s payback for Odom’s wifeless clubbing jaunts where he’s often seen with other women. But even so, word has it that the basketball star has still become very suspicious of his wife’s new BFF. It appears it might be with good reason; Khloe not only reportedly talks about The Game all the time, she also shared with her hubby that the rapper told her she had a nice a**.

Uh, can anyone say TMI?

Doth Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom protest too much?

The reality TV couple, whose marriage has been under close scrutiny lately, insist that all’s fine in the world of Mr. and Mrs. Odom. “Yes, we bicker,” Kardashian admitted to US Weekly in a joint interview with her husband. “But we make sure to never go to bed angry.” Added L.A. Clippers forward Odom, “this girl is going to make you talk it out! Trust me!”

“We love each other so much,” Odom says. “And sex is fun!” adds Kardashian. “Sex is great,” Odom clarifies. “It’s on a high level. It’s intense!”

Yes, gushing about your sex life to everyone in a grocery store check-out line is a great way to convince the world that your marriage is on solid ground. Celebrity marriage deathwatch starts…now.

Lamar Odom’s ex-wife was a silent partner in the NBA player’s life for years, but now she’s come out of the woodworks and has plenty to say,  Liza Morales, who has two kids with the Los Angeles Clippers star, recently revealed that she hasn’t had sex since splitting up with Odom, and is now doubting Odom’s current wife Khloe Kardashian’s step-parenting skills.

“I don’t know if she’s good maternally, I don’t know,” Morales tells the New York Daily News, but stops short of throwing any accusations at Kardashian. “As long as my kids are good, I’m good. As long as my kids are taken care of and I haven’t heard anything negative, then I’m good.”

She’s not so kind to her ex, however. The former couple suffered a tragedy when they lost their six month old son Jayden to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2006. Morales says the couple drifted apart after the sad event because Odom refused to open up about it. They divorced in 2008. “Who abandons their lady?” she asks rhetorically.

Last year, Morales also took her chance to rub salt in the wound of Kardashian’s infertility problems. “I never knew all the difficulties with getting pregnant,” she discussed on Good Morning America. “I think that my mom has so many kids, and Kourtney pops them out like a PEZ dispenser, so you think it’s, like, so easy. You realize it’s not as easy as you might think.”

So, why is Morales suddenly so chatty, and adept at back-handed compliments? Did we mention she’s starring on TLC’s new reality show Starter Wives?

Liza Morales is taking her marriage vows of monogomy mighty seriously. Lamar Odom’s ex-wife, who stars in the upcoming TLC series Starter Wives, reveals that she hasn’t had a train in her station since she and Odom split up. Not only that, but she also claims the NBA player was her first, last and only.

“I’ve known him since I was 14 was with him since we was 16,” she said about their dating timeline. “We were childhood sweethearts!” She adds, “It will be four years since I’ve had sex.”

Odom, who is happily married to Khloe Kardashian, put his sex life out there via the couple’s many reality shows, so we guess Liza has a right to do the same?

Lamar and Liza divorced in 2009 and have two children together, Destiny, 14, and Lamar Jr., 9. Their youngest child, Jayden, died at six months in 2006 of SIDS.

Odom married Khloe Kardashian in September 2009 after a 30-day courtship. Their wedding was televised on E! Networks, and the couple have documented the highs and lows of their marriage on their spin-off reality show Khloe & Lamar. The high-profile pair have been plagued by split rumors recently, supposedly fueled by fertility problems.

She’s not known to be much of a bottle-popper, but is alcohol-free Kim Kardashian looking for another way to ease her pain?

RadarOnline.com is reporting that Kanye West’s lady love has developed a taste for Valium and sleeping pills, and her sister Khloe Kardashian is ready to sound the alarm.

“She’s freaking everyone out right now,” an insider told Australia’s NW magazine. “She’s taking Valium and sleeping pills. The last time she self-medicated was when she split from Reggie Bush [two years ago,] when everything felt impossible.”

The source adds, “Khloé’s really freaked out by it: she found a bottle of pills and knew straight away what Kim was doing.” According to the report, Khloe has given Kim an ultimatum: flush the stash within three weeks or she’ll tell mom-ager Kris Jenner and boyfriend Kanye West about it.

Apparently, Kim’s painful split from Kris Humphries and the ensuing media backlash has driven her to self-medicate.

So, is Kim headed to Promises or is this a stunt to get on Celebrity Rehab?

His chances at a championship ring are looking pretty bleak, so Kris Humphries is going for the next best thing. The New Jersey Brooklyn Nets player is demanding his ex-wife Kim Kardashian return the 20-carat ring he “bought” her, saying he “can’t fathom” why Kim would want to keep the rock now that the couple’s 72-day marriage is kaput.

”Remember, Kim filed for divorce. Kris paid for that ring, and he just can’t fathom why Kim would want to keep it. It’s not like she is ever going to wear it again,” a source tells RadarOnline.com. ”Kris realises that with Kim it’s all about material objects and she truly treasures things over people in her life.”

The ring is just the latest piece of booty Kris is trying to get back from Kim. He also wants to know what up with the $325,000 Ferrari gifted to the couple by a Malaysian businessman, and has previously claimed he doesn’t believe Kim donated the rest of their wedding gifts to charity.

‘Kris wants a divorce trial so that the truth can finally come out,” the source added, pointing out that Humphries is motioning to have the trial filmed, reality-style.

As if the disastrous marriage, public divorce and paparazzi-overload of Kim prancing around Manhattan with her new boo Kanye West isn’t making things awkward enough, the ex-drama is now affecting Kris’s professional game. Hollywood Life claims Humphries is not only ruling out re-upping with the Nets, which is co-owned by Kim’s man Kanye’s boy Jay-Z (nevermind that the Nets haven’t offered Kris any kind of contract), he’s planning to stay out of the NBA altogether for fear that he’ll wind up on the same team as Kim’s sister Khloe Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom, who is also a free agent. Yeesh…wiping my brow just thinking about all that potential drama.

Hollywood Life claims Kris is “solely focused on his divorce” right now, which seems like a really healthy and constructive use of a professional athlete’s time. It’s not like there’s a time limit on your b-ball career, right, Kris?

By now it’s pretty clear that the Kardashians will slap their names on just about any product that will help add cash to their growing empire, but they should’ve thought twice before fronting SlimQuick diet pills. The New York Post is reporting there might be a class action lawsuit against the girls  and their diet product, QuickTrim, which has made $45 million in revenue since the Kardashian sisters started working with them three years ago.

The problem with the product? The FDA doesn’t necessarily agree that it’ll snap consumers back to a curvaceous Kardashian form like the commercials claim. “The active ingredient in QuickTrim weight loss products is a large dose of caffeine . . . The FDA has determined that caffeine is not safe or effective for weight loss,” said law firm Bursor & Fisher, who is preparing a suit against Windmill and the Kardashians.

Some physicians claim that too much caffeine can cause jitters, high blood pressure and an increased pulse, although the Kardashians have touted the products praises. In January 2010, Kim said she used QuickTrim to shed 15 pounds in weeks. Last year she tweeted that she was using it to get in shape for her wedding, and Khloe also claimed she lost 15 pounds. Hmm….

Bursor & Fisher has won or settled cases against firms peddling products including hair loss remedy Avacor and diet supplement Xenadrine — so the Kardashian sisters better watch their backs!

Khloe Kardashian used her famously sharp tongue to put Amber Rose on blast yesterday.

The reality star made an appearance on Sway’s radio talk show on SiriusXM, and addressed the hip-hop queen’s allegations that Kim Kardashian is the reason she and Kanye West are dunzo…but then didn’t exactly deny that there’s heat between her sister and Yeezy.

When asked for her thoughts on Amber’s accusations that Kanye cheated on her with Kim (who was supposedly, in turn, cheating on Reggie Bush), Khloe said: “Well, I don’t know Amber… A lot of people like to use my sister’s name for their own benefit.”

However, she then herself alludes that though Kim and Kanye are officially “just friends,” there’s more to the pair than just retweets and photo-ops. “From everything, from him being around my mom, him being around Lamar, even Lamar’s kids, it’s never been on that level. I do know that they’re friends and they might have that feeling for each other, I just don’t think it’s worked timing wise.”

Not working timing wise? Last we checked, they’re both very single at the moment. Though, in the same interview, Khloe did make it clear that she’s very Team Reggie when it comes to who Kim dates next.

As for Khloe calling Amber a fame slore for talking about her sister…pot-kettle-black?
