From the looks of "Basketball Wife" Royce Reed's Twitter timeline, Evelyn Lozada may not be the only cast member turning into a football wife.

 

Royce's co-star Kenya Bell revealed today that congrats are in order for 30-year-old Royce & her 22-year-old Tampa Bay baller boyfriend Dez Briscoe.  Despite last night's twitter beef and cheating allegations from Dez's baby mama....

<!--break--><!--break-->

Well here's one way to get the haters and naysayers to hush up....get engaged.

No details on when (or if) this marriage will happen-- it could be next week, next month, next year--but according to Kenya Bell, wedding bells are ringing for Royce!  Kenya doesn't seem to be the brightest crayon in the Crayloa box so we take it with a grain of salt...for now.

Kenya tweeted out today, in defense of Royce's twitter foolishness last night with baby mama Christina, that Royce & Dez are getting married.

Royce then responded to Kenya saying she let the secret out:

Oopsie!!! Lol Well Congrats! :-) One for the haters! "@Roycelr: @KenyaBell thx Kenya but I think u just let the cat out the bag lol"

Looks like chick just guaranteed herself a spot on next season's BBW. 

After the hoopla last night, Royce looked unfazed taking her son, Braylon, to see The Lion King:

And she tweeted today she believes Christina's alleged cheating sext messages from Dez were fake and she used a spoof text app:

She 1. Changed the name but attached no number, then she showed his contact info aka number w/no text attached lol

Well if she feels confident in her man's faithfulness, then do you boo.  Congrats if true!

Look...we don't even know if Nicki Minaj really has a stylist. For all we know she could be opening her wig suitcase every morning doing Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...and using the same strategy for her tights and body suit bags.  But if she does have a stylist, clearly that person has beef with Nicki if this is the ish she got paid to put together.

 

Check out her latest looks while the "Superbass" rapper does promo around London today....

<!--break--><!--break-->

Off to do promo at the 'The Graham Norton Show' for her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album, Nicki stepped out of the W Hotel in London in a bondage style....dress...and polka dot stockings under a body suit.  All topped off with a red and black Thriller style jacket.

The quirky rapper finally slapped a smile on her face after her Twitter meltdown this weekend.  And signed autographs for her awaiting fans.

She switched up her look from a platinum wig to a green cropped one for her press appointments:

And changed into another outfit of a body suit and houndstooth stocking with plaid platform boots.

It's just so much going on.  And no, chick still hasn't returned to the Twitterverse.  And neither has her fansite.

WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS VERY EXPLICIT LANGUAGE.

Audio recordings of Mel Gibson in an epic meltdown have emerged which were allegedly recorded in Costa Rica last December, by Hollywood screenwriter, Joe Eszterhas' son, Nick, in which the devout Catholic can be heard screaming, "f**king c**t" amongst other profanities, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

As previously reported, Eszterhas, who was slated to write the screenplay for the Gibson project The Maccabees, wrote a scathing letter to Mel where he leveled the claim that Gibson “hates Jews,” called the Holocaust “horses**t” and threatened to have his ex killed.

PHOTOS: Mel Gibson In Costa Rica

The latest Gibson rants surfaced about two years after Mel was caught in a series of violent voicemails threatening to kill his then girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, which RadarOnline.com exclusively obtained. Eszerthas alleges that Gibson also threatened to kill Oksana, or have his FBI buddies do it for him.

In the shocking new recording, Gibson blows a gasket during a disagreement with Eszterhas, who was at the Hollywood actor's Costa Rica vacation home. In the audio, which was obtained by The Wrap, Mel is heard screaming, "I go to work, you’re getting paid, I’m not! S**t! I am earning money for a filthy little c**ksucker who takes advantage of me! Just like every motherf**ker!"

PHOTOS: Mel Gibson's Greatest Movie Roles

Mel spews the F word at least seven times, and then just totally loses it, ranting "who wants to eat? Who the f**k wants to eat?, f**king c**t, c**ksucker whore."

Unlike his vile tirade against his ex, where he one time threatened to bury her in a rose garden, for which he never apologized, Gibson responded back to Eszterhas’ claims without addressing any of the specific hateful rants Eszterhas accused him of.

PHOTOS: Mel & Oksana In Happier Times

“I will acknowledge like most creative people I am passionate and intense,” Gibson told Deadline.com in an open letter last week.

Gibson remains on probation for his no contest plea in the battery case involving Oksana Grigorieva.

After weeks of speculation, news broke Wednesday that Sheree Whitfield will be parting ways with the Real Housewives of Atlanta after four seasons.

The reality star told Wetpaint.com that she felt her time on the Bravo series had run its time and so she had chosen to leave — but RadarOnline.com can exclusively report, that Sheree was actually fired — for being a diva!

PHOTOS: "Real Housewives": Best or Bust?

“After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness,” Sheree told Wetpaint.com.

“I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I’m thrilled to say I’m now a free agent and am already fielding offers.”

However, our source tells a very different story, one not so favorable to the Southern born socialite.

"Sheree was fired," the source says. "She was demanding more money and that didn't go over well with show executives. They are tired of dealing with her diva attitude and demands."

PHOTOS: Reality TV's Hottest Stars

The 42-year-old single mother of three was often captured on TV during her rigorous daily fitness regimen, arguing with her ex husband over child support and debuting her She By Sheree clothing line – all of which the show's producers found less than exciting for primetime.

"Executives think she's just boring and they want someone new on the show," the source says.

PHOTOS: Bikini Wars: Reality Stars Compete!

Sheree isn't the only housewife to say goodbye. Last year Bravo axed four of the seven recurring housewives of New York City including Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Cindy Barshop and Kelly Bensimon. And, as RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, the network is starting to phase out Taylor Armstrong from the Beverly Hills franchise.

Justin Bieber has sold more than 8 million albums, has more than 727 million YouTube views (the most ever) for his video Baby and more than 20 million followers on Twitter.

But Christina Aguilera wasn't about to give Biebs the star treatment on Tuesday's episode of The Voice, as the What A Girl Wants singer snubbed the 18-year-old pop star when he made a cameo on her turf — and you can see it all go down on RadarOnline.com.

After Justin emerged to show a clip from his new music video and announce he'd be back in three weeks to perform, he graciously walked up to the four thrones where the coaches hold court.

When he got to Christina's chair, she gave him a snotty look and extended her hand. He leaned in and planted an air kiss on her, and when he emerged she gave him a Dirrty look.

To see the snub for yourself, check it out around the 3:20 mark.

Elsewhere on The Voice Tuesday, coach Blake Shelton sent country hopeful RaeLynn home while Christina shocked once more, sending Ashley De La Rosa.

While already struggling to deal with his cancer diagnosis, Ryan O'Neal is growing increasingly concerned for his daughter, Tatum O'Neal, who was recently released from rehab, and not doing well, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As previously reported, the 70-year-old actor recently announced that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. "Although I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel fortunate that it was detected early and according to my extraordinary team of doctors the prognosis is positive for a full recovery," O'Neal said in a statement.

Tatum, who was recently released from rehab after treatment following a cocaine relapse, is not doing well though and her ailing father is growing increasingly concerned for his daughter's well-being.

"Tatum isn't doing well. She is in a dark place right now and her father is very concerned about her," a family insider tells RadarOnline.com. "Ryan and Tatum have a very complex relationship and there are a lot of unresolved issues there....but Ryan is genuinely concerned for her well-being, and health. Yes, he has been diagnosed with cancer, but he is consumed with worry about Tatum because he knows how bad her addiction is."

PHOTOS: Tatum, Ryan & Redmond O'Neal With Friends After Farrah Fawcett’s Memorial

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, during a visit to Ryan's house over the holidays Tatum accused her father of never being there for her and of being a narcissist, spurring a huge blow out between the tumultuous two.

"These two have gotten into arguments before, but this one was an epic one,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “Tatum was upset that she’s broke and that their failed reality show for Oprah's OWN network was canceled, and that Ryan wasn't doing anything to help her. Tatum accused him of being a narcissist and he got in her face and told her to get the f*ck out of his house. He accused her of being a horrible mother and that just pushed her over the edge."

PHOTOS: Ryan O'Neal Leaving Court

Despite their problems Tatum has been rocked by the news of her father's diagnosis and is struggling to come to terms with it.

"Tatum was recently told that her father has cancer, and she isn't handling the news well," the source says. "Ryan and Tatum have talked to each other, very briefly, without much substance to the conversation. Ryan hopes that they can work through their issues once and for all."

The Bachelor and Bachelorette shows have been slapped with a class-action lawsuit from two aspiring contestants accusing producers of being racially discriminative, and RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that a former star of the show believes it is time for a black person to be handing out roses.

“It is clearly not right that after 10 years of successive seasons there hasn’t been a black Bachelor or Bachelorette, especially when we have a black president,” Matt Grant, star of season 12 The Bachelor: London Calling told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

PHOTOS: Bachelor Reunion Pics

“While I don’t think any of the producers are inherently racist,” he was careful to point out, “I just think that mistakes are being made.”

The lawsuit in question was filed by a group of Nashville residents led by Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson against the ABC series claiming it has violated civil rights laws.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Check Out Ben Flajnik’s Winter Wonderland

Johnson says he filled out an application to be on the show and showed up at a casting call, where he was allegedly stopped immediately by an employee of the show and asked why he was there. The employee took his application materials, according to the complaint and said he'd pass it on but he was never contacted, reported the Hollywood Reporter.

Grant agrees that the time for change is long overdue, and that the show has a responsibility to showcase all races.

PHOTOS: Courtney Robertson: Here Comes The Bride?

“As one of the longest running reality shows on TV, the Bachelor is a national brand, a part of American pop culture and part of the make-up of the country,” the handsome Brit explained. “It should definitely be more racially diverse because it is not reflecting the demographic of the nation right now.”

There was only one black contestant vying for Matt’s affections during his season on the show, and he says he raised that point with the producers at the time.

PHOTOS: Inside The Hollywood-Themed Wedding Of Jerry Ferris & Natasha Goss

As for why the stars and contestants are so white, Grant told RadarOnline.com: “The real reason for it I think is because most of the viewers are from the middle of the country and are predominantly white. Which leads to the moral question, ‘Should the Bachelor cast reflect the viewing demographic or the real national demographic?’

“If you have more black people involved in the show then maybe more black people would watch,” said Matt, who would love to see a more culturally-diverse cast.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Bachelor Contestant's Face Bloodied Up

Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad star Elizabeth Kitt agreed that there was very little color on set of either show. “The cast was predominantly white,” she told RadarOnline.com.

“I didn’t hear any racist slurs during filming so to say the show is racist is going too far, if you throw that out there too many times it is the boy who cried wolf,” she explained, adding that she thinks just more white people apply to be on there. “I’m a little annoyed by the lawsuit, if you want to be on the show - then apply!”

EXCLUSIVE BABY PHOTOS: Bachelor Pad's Kiptyn & Tenley -- Before They Were Famous

The Bachelor creator Michael Fleiss has reportedly acknowledged the problem in the past, saying the show wants to cast for ethnic diversity, but the contestants don't come forward.

According to the legal complaint led by Claybrooks and Johnson, "the deliberate exclusion of people of color from the roles of the Bachelor and Bachelorette underscores the significant barriers that people of color continue to face in media and the broader marketplace."

PHOTOS: Couples We’d Like To See!

The plaintiffs are asking for an order that would require producers to adopt appropriate policies and programs with their alleged legal obligations. The class action also seeks punitive damages and attorney's fees.

The killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin continues to makes headlines across the nation as the special prosecutor appointed to the case has decided not to convene a grand jury. And in other shocking news, the shooter, George Zimmerman, is now taking donations to help aid in his "defense." Get the deets inside.....

<!--break--><!--break-->

 

After the killing of Trayvon Martin almost two months ago, there are now new developments where shooter George Zimmerman is concerned. 

In a shocking move that raised many eyebrows, the special prosecutor investigating the shooting decided AGAINST putting together a grand jury to seek an indictment against George Zimmerman. As a result, it means George CANNOT be charged with first-degree murder.  "The state must go forward and be able to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt," said Angela Corey, the special prosecutor assigned to the case.

This doesn't mean Zimmerman won't be charged with anything at some point.  It's still a disheartening turn of events.
 

Meanwhile, George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, started a website last night (which crashed within minutes) where he is soliciting donations. He said in a statement for the first time via his site, 

“As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life.  This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries."

Interesting that there are actually people out there who are going to send this man their money.  And the audacity of this man to talk about his inconveniences after shooting an unarmed boy several times.  It just gets more disgusting as things develop.

 

"Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada brought her bikini body to Miami Beach with her good friend/assistant Nia Cooks yesterday.  Yep...the same Nia who slapped up Eve's frenemy and co-star Jennifer Williams recently.

 

Check out the ladies doing what they do best....posing for the cameras they "don't know" are there...inside.

Fresh off her strip club festivities, the future Mrs. Chad OchoCinco was spotted hitting Miami Beach with her girl Nia, in a neon green beach dress, and some kids (not her daughter Shaniece). 36-year-old Evelyn rocked a sexy leopard and pink lace bikini, Gucci shades, and covered up with a bright multi-colored sarong.  And looked pretty damn good while doing so:

All these tatts though....

Evelyn is set to star in her own VH1 show alongside her NFL baller fiance, called "Chad & Ev," which will follow the twosome on their trek to the alter.

 

And after her long day at the beach:

Evelyn did her other job of hosting club parties.  She was spotted chillin' at Magic City Mondays at Play in Miami.  And yes...it was "stripper" night.

Rihanna hit last night's red carpet in a Stella McCartney Autumn 2012 Black Stretch Cady All in One jumper.  And paired it with black sandals with her new black hair pulled into a bun with a long bang.

But don't let the subdued look fool you.  The 24-year-old feisty sex-lover tweeted her love for the porn site Pornhub last night (after they tweeted how much they love her) saying, "@Pornhub if u only knew how much @Rihanna looove u!!! #brazilians #latinos

Ha!

With her slim body--which gets thinner and thinner every time we see her it seems--the look overpowers her and does nothing for her frame.  Maybe it would have been better in a pop of a bright color.

Rih posed it up with her co-stars Brooklyn Decker & John Tui.

Cute nails.

And Australia's new "X-Factor" host, Mel B., rocked a hot red jumper as she hit up the premiere with hubby Stephen Belafonte.

Paula invited fans to “Drink it to Believe it” by serving up the first sips of new low calorie drink.

Pepsi NEXT is the first real cola with 60% less sugar....and Paula indeed makes it look yummy.

Paula, who who laughed it up during an interview with Extra! host Mario Lopez while at the Grove, just signed on to star in 2 Guns alongside Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg.

Last night on BET's "106 & Park," Kanye West made a surprise appearance with his "Mercy" homie 2 Chainz, who has been all over the radio these days.  Pics and video inside...

While ATL rapper 2 Chainz (formerly known as Tity Boi) was the guest of the show, he brought his super-producing homie Kanye West along as a surprise.  2 Chainz is currently featured on Nicki Minaj's "Beez In The Trap" single.  The twosome dished to hosts Terrence & Rocsi on their collabo "Mercy," 'Ye's new Yeezys, and Chainz's debut studio album (which Kanye is producing some of) Based on A T.R.U. Story, dropping August 14th on Def Jam.

Kanye didn't really spak (y'all know he doesn't "do" media), but that leopard jacket said it all:

Loves him.  Speaing of Kanye, Radar Online reports he will indeed make an appearance or two on his new boo Kim Kardashian's new season of her E! reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."  Despite the fact chick just said on the "Today" show a few days ago she would never again put a boyfriend or personal relationship on tv.  How convenient this is.  No surprise here.

Check out the video of the twosome's appearance and how Kanye is schooling 2 Chainz on the ins and outs of performing:

…and, here’s another Nicki Minaj interview. This time the blonde femcee sits with ABC’s Juju Chang who gives an overview of her career in the 8 minute interview from her start in school productions to her #bawse moves like hooking up with Madonna and performing at the Superbowl, and yes a very apologetic Nicki addressed the GMA nip-slip.

Nicki has advice for her female fans:
“Always be successful outside of a man.”

She says that Lady Gaga comparisons don’t offend her but she is irked by them:
“Gaga’s a fantastic artist. She’s paved her way and opened her own lande. I have my own lane and we never cross- EVER!”

Check the full clip below:

Raper with Dominican (Republic) roots, Fabolous is the latest artists to take a turn to take a slice of Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake”. Rihanna first tapped Chris Brown for a sweet remix, which was soon followed by a Rick Ross.

Take a lick below:

The higher you go up in life the greater the chance that you will get criticized and being the hottest female emcee in the game right now, it’s no wonder  cynics and detractors are chiming in about their what Nicki Minaj is not doing right, from her multiple personalities, her colorful wigs and her raunchy lyrics to her increasingly pop sound. The Trinidad-born New York rapper responds to them in a candid interview with Charlamagne Tha God.

Here are some excerpts. Full audio below:

On whether her personalities are just a gimmick
“I went to school for theatre. I took four years of my life and devoted into THEATRE. I did that because my passion was acting. When I started rapping I felt like I couldn’t really be myself.  When I started winning … I became myself.  I can do my my accents, my voices my faces my costumes- I can now bring me to who people see as Nicki Minaj. I think that’s where the confusion lies people thought when I first came out, that was me in my entirety but that wasn’t; that was a small facet of who I was.  Who you see not is just a multifaceted mixture of all the personalities I have in me….for every person that doesn’t understand it is a person that feels like me.”

On whether she leans to pop Nicki or hip hop Nicki more:
“I can’t choose.  I can’t pick.  I feel like the world makes them two different people but in my mind they are the same person.  I grew up in New York my whole life.  I would go out to the block and hang out with my home girls on the weekend and then Monday to Friday I was having a nine-to-five on Wall Street.  When I was an office manager I wasn’t having the same conversation in the office that I was having on the block but I was still the same person. I was Onika; but I knew how to switch it up and have an intelligent conversation with one group of people …and then go home with my home girls and have fun.”

On female emcees being typecasted:
“It’s unfortunate that at times Hip Hop culture will tell you to lean only to one side, when that is detrimental to your future … growth … longevity.”
On being seen as a sellout:
“[Queen Latifah] is someone I tip my hat to … because she does musicals, movies voice overs for cartoons- is she a sell out or is she winning? So these other b”tches that only did rap and now they’re washed, living in low income housing- is that winning? Just so a n*gger in the street can give me a f*cking dap? The same nigga that didn’t buy my album any f*cking way? That downloaded the shit? Get the f*ck outta here!”

 

Nicki talks about her regrets, as well as wanting to contribute to childhood education and develop a YMCA type of facility for kids to develop themselves based on her love of children and education:

“I have such a great rapport with my fans, when they see me like they really be bringing out their bachelors and masters “look Nicki, look.” Because they know how important it is to me that it’s ok to have fun. Imma give you the raunchiest verse sometimes but I also want you to realize that it’s for a time and one day you’re gonna look back and think wait a minute did I really lose my life clubbing and miss out on a moment where I could have been building myself as a woman and having something to offer my children?”

The expletives was a bit extra but overall it was a good interview. Would love to ask her about her Caribbean influence one day.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

So much for Mirlande Wilson’s claim that she won the Maryland Mega Millions, but just couldn’t seem to find the ticket. Turns out, the McDonald’s worker lied. (No big shock there.)

On Tuesday, Maryland Lottery officials announced the real winners -- two public school teachers and a school administrator, who pooled their money to purchase 60 tickets in three locations as a pool. (The winning ticket came from a 7-Eleven store in Milford Mill outside Baltimore.)

The three stepped forward Monday to claim their winnings, but all have chosen to remain anonymous.

PHOTOS: A-Listers Before They Were Stars

Although their identities are being kept secret, lottery officials held a news conference Tuesday and showed off a giant check for $218,600,000 made out only to ‘The Three Amigos’.

We know the winners are a woman in her 20s, a man in his 40s, and a woman in her 50s.

One winner is a special education teacher, one is an elementary school teacher and the third is a school administrator.

Lottery officials said they do not work in the same school, but declined to say which district they work for.

All three worked second jobs outside of school to make ends meet, but said they plan to continue working despite winning the giant jackpot.

Each will have about $35 million (after taxes) wired into their bank account within the next 10 days.

Their plans include backpacking in Europe, a tour of Italy's wine country and paying for a daughter's college education.

All three also planned to buy new homes and invest, officials said.

"If it can't be you, these people are precisely the people you would want to see win," Maryland Lottery director Stephen Martino said.

The winning Maryland ticket is one of three nationally that split the $656 million jackpot, the biggest in Mega Millions history. The other winners in the March 30 drawing were picked in Kansas and Illinois. Kansas' winner claimed a share of the jackpot Friday, but also decided to remain anonymous. No one has yet to step forward in Illinois.

Martino said the winners were amused by rumors of other winners, most notably Mirlande Wilson, who claimed she had the winning ticket outside of a pool she participated in with her co-workers.

"They were humored by it," Martino said.

Audio of a new Chevy Chase rant has surfaced, in which the Community star works himself into a frenzy on a voicemail complaining to the show's creator Dan Harmon about his philosophical differences with the NBC comedy -- one he calls a "f*cking mediocre sitcom" that "isn’t funny.”

In the rant acquired by Celebuzz, Chevy begins mild-mannered, discussing what he understands to be a comedic miscommunication between he and Harmon.

"The other part of the disconnect is obviously, you don't get my humor at all, or what it is I do that's funny, that actually makes people laugh," Chase says on the tape, as first obtained by Celebuzz. "There are two choices. One is the story line -- like everybody gives a sh*t about the f*cking story when they don't even know who the characters are -- or there's, 'Make people laugh.'"

PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen's Troubled 2010

Chase continues, "It's cut down. For what? So people can follow the story line between Joel [McHale] and Gillian [Jacobs]? And about love affairs and kissing? Come on man, you're missing the f*cking point. This is not my kind of comedy. I thought you hired me for what I can do that's funny! You've got to give me some range."

Listen to the audio on RadarOnline.com

Chase builds up to a crescendo in his complaints, reminiscent of a Clark Griswold meltdown from the National Lampoon's films of his peak.

PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen's Porn Star Girlfriends

“It’s just a f*cking mediocre sitcom!" Chase said. "I want people to laugh and this isn’t funny! It ain’t funny to me because I’m 67-years-old and I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve been making a lot of people laugh a lot better than this.”

Madonna's new CD MDNA has crashed and burned, leaving a record-setting failure in its wake.

With numbers still being finalized, it appears that the Material Girl has become immaterial to listeners, evidenced by an 88 percent crash from week one to week two of sales.

The CD sold 359,000 copies when it debuted at the top of the Billboard charts and has now plummeted to 46,000 copies.

And here's a I-wish-I-hadn't-said-this quote from her manager, Guy Oseary, issued when things were going well: “People are really digging it,” he claimed about MDNA. “We feel good about the album. It's her 12th album and the same story she had 30 years ago. That’s an amazing accomplishment.”

Perhaps he should have read some of the reviews, which painted Madonna as out of touch and tired. Said the LA Times: "MDNA more than anything sounds like an album made by someone who’s lost touch with the desires of today’s popular music... the Madonna of today has lost the art of surprise."

Well not entirely, because her record failure has surprised some people, especially Oseary, who clamed Madonna didn't need to heavily promote the album because the music would speak for itself.

Apparently it did. And no one is listening.'

Khloe Kardashian is planning a romantic getaway for her husband, Lamar Odom, after he announced that he would no longer be playing basketball for the Dallas Mavericks, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

The E! reality star wants to "whisk Lamar away from the spotlight for some much needed rest and relaxation. Lamar has been in a funk ever since the Lakers traded him, and she thinks a romantic rendezvous is exactly what they both need right now," a source close to the couple tells Radar.

"Khloe is absolutely devoted to Lamar and loves him so much. She has said she will move with him if another NBA team signs him during the off season. It's just so hard for Khloe to see Lamar so depressed."

Even though Khloe embraced the move to Dallas, Lamar never found his footing with the Mavericks.

"Lamar hasn't gotten over being traded from the Lakers, and he has been depressed and moody ever since it happened. Lamar felt that he was ripped away from his Laker family with no warning or notice. He couldn't fathom the fact that the Lakers traded him after all of his years with the team," a source close to the couple tells Radar.

"Khloe has been extremely supportive of Lamar, but she is growing increasingly concerned for her husband because she has never seen him like this before."

Lamar gave a statement to ESPN on Monday morning stating the split was mutual, but insiders tell us it was the Mavericks who gave Lamar the pink slip because he was "too much drama" and gave "inconsistent effort" on the court.

"The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it's in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team," Lamar said. "I'm sorry that things didn't work out better for both of us, but I wish the Mavs' organization, my teammates and Dallas fans nothing but continued success in the defense of their championship."

“The decision was made by the team owner Mark Cuban after Lamar did not play in the second half of a game against Memphis," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

"The team was upset by his inconsistent effort on the court and was concerned about how his demeanor could impact the team’s younger players.”

Lamar, 32, easily had the worst season of his career in Big D, averaging a paltry 6.6 points-per-game and 4.2 rebounds-per-game in 50 games with the league's reigning champs. After a phenomenal year in 2010-2011, he was clearly disheartened after the Los Angeles Lakers dealt him twice over the off-season.

"Lamar is just lost right now and Khloe is hoping once they move back to Los Angeles and he is back in familiar surroundings he will get out of his funk," the insider tells RadarOnline.com.

"Lamar wants to keep playing basketball, but it might be time for him to retire which has Khloe even more concerned."
