It has been no secret that Lamar Odom has had trouble with drugs and alcohol recently.
Last Friday the NBA star was arrested after allegedly driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol which lead to his short stint in rehab this week.
However, E! Online is reporting that Odom has left the Los Angeles rehabilitation facility today, less than a day after entering.
Odom’s court date for his DUI arrest is set for September 27.
All of this drama does not bode well for his NBA career as he is still not officially contracted to a set team for the upcoming season which begins in October.

One Direction fans can breathe easy this week since their boyfriend (in their head) was unhurt after his London flat caught on fire.
On Monday, 1D member Liam Payne was hosting a party at his house when an outdoor heater exploded, setting fire to 80% of the singer’s balcony.
The houseguest who was trying to refuel the heater was hospitalized after receiving second degree burns on his upper body.
Payne was reportedly in the kitchen during the accident and was unscathed, but quickly ran out to help take out the fire. He also rode with his friend to the hospital in an ambulance.
Liam took to Twitter on Thursday to thank fans for all of their support, as well as to tell them that his friend is doing better.
Thanks for all the support at this time it’s been a tough few days and it’s only made me value everything so much more
@niamstreet He’s doing really well I’m just so happy he’s gunna be ok no one wants to see there best mate like this
Don Lemon Gets a Haircut, Things Get Weird
(credit: Twitter)
It must have been a really slow week in the Twittersphere, because somehow CNN anchor, Don Lemon, inspired a trending topic for his haircut.
Yes, a haircut that was not Beyoncé’s was a trending topic.
The cut is reminiscent of Will Smith à la “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” and is definitely not something a 47-year-old news anchor should be sporting.
So, of course, the people of Twitter had to let their opinion be known with the hashtag #DonLemonLooksLike.
Here are a few of the winners of that hashtag:#DonLemonLooksLike Parents just don’t understand…
#DonLemonLooksLike He looks like it is Hammer time…..”Can’t touch this…..” 🙂
Naturally, Lemon had to respond:Woke up to #DonLemonLooksLike trending. REALLY #blacktwitter?! Can a brother just get a haircut?!! pic.twitter.com/Xf1uNS2RFU
Hopefully he’ll rethink this decision the next time he goes to the barbershop.
