Despite earlier reports to the contrary, Lamar Odom has not checked into rehab, according to TMZ. The NBA player has reportedly been battling a crack addition, but at this point nobody seems to know if he is seeking any help for the problem.
Odom has shut off all contact with his wife, Khloe Kardashian, so at this point all we can hope for is that the former L.A. Laker is doing the right thing.

Either Robin Thicke has nerves of steel or his marriage to Paula Patton is very "open," according to a woman who claims the singer cheated with her.
After the VMA's on August 25th, Robin and Paula attended a party at New York City nightclub 1 Oak. While there, Robin posed for pics with fan Lana Scolaro. In one of them (up top) he can be seen grabbing her butt.
Lana just gave an interview to Life & Style Magazine about that night. In it she claims things went much further than that.
Robin got things rolling with the pick up line, "I just love the fact that you're so young."
Things progressed from there. Lana claims that all of this took place while Patton was just a few feet away.
“I don’t think he cared what she thought,” Lana told Life & Style. “I was with him the whole night! His hands were everywhere."
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton
Robin told Lana that Paula was "chill" and had encouraged him to approach her.
After the 1 Oak party the "Blurred Lines" singer brought Lana along with him and his wife to another bash at the Greenwich Hotel.
“I went to the bathroom, and when I came out he was standing there,” she tells Life & Style. “He turned off the lights so no one could see us, and he started making out with me. He was grabbing me. He was like, ‘I want to get you into bed!’”
The make out session ended because they kept getting interrupted, but Robin passed Lana his number and promised to hook back up during NYC Fashion Week.
Paula's rep brushed off Lana's claims, "It's just a girl looking for some attention. Paula and Robin aren't concerned."
Paula and Robin have been married since 2005 and have 3-year-old son together, Julian.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The man serving a life prison term for kidnapping three women and repeatedly raping them in his home for nearly a decade has been found dead in his cell, and preliminary autopsy results confirmed it was a suicide by hanging.
Ariel Castro, 53, was found hanging in his cell around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, located south of Columbus in central Ohio, JoEllen Smith, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman, said early Wednesday. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 10:50 p.m.
Castro was in protective custody because of the notoriety of his case, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, but was not on suicide watch, Smith said. She said suicide watch entails constant observation.
An autopsy early Wednesday showed the death was a suicide, and the cause of death was hanging, said Dr. Jan Gorniak, the Franklin County coroner. She said toxicology tests still would be completed in the coming weeks.
Gorniak said she couldn't comment on the circumstances in which Castro was found.
In Castro's old Cleveland neighborhood, Jessica Burchett, 19, said his death had short-circuited the life term called for in his plea deal.
"It does give a little bit of closure to the families and people that got affected by what he did, but at the same time he deserved to be in there for his life because of what he did to those girls," she said.
No one answered the door Wednesday morning at the home of Castro's mother and brother, which was depicted by relatives earlier as a gathering place for the family and has a no-trespassing sign posted.
The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. They escaped from Castro's Cleveland home May 6, when Amanda Berry, one of the women, broke part of a door and yelled to neighbors for help.
"Help me," she said in a 911 call. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm, I'm here, I'm free now."
The two other women were so scared of Castro that they held back initially even as police officers began to swarm the house. But quickly they realized they were free.
"You saved us! You saved us!" another of the captives, Michelle Knight, told an officer as she leaped into his arms.
Castro was arrested that evening. He had also fathered a child with Berry while she was in captivity; that girl was 6 years old when freed. A judge rejected Castro's request to have visiting rights with his daughter.
Elation over the women's rescue soon turned to shock as details emerged about conditions of their captivity. Investigators say they were bound with chains, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities. Knight told investigators she was beaten and starved several times to force her to miscarry.
Messages left for the women's lawyers were not immediately returned early Wednesday.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years on his guilty plea to 937 counts including kidnapping and rape.
In a rambling statement, he told the judge he was not a monster but a man suffering from a pornography addiction.
"I'm not a monster. I'm sick," Castro said at his sentencing.
Knight was the only one of the three who appeared in court at his sentencing.
"You took 11 years of my life away, and I have got it back," she said in the hushed courtroom. "I spent 11 years in hell. Now your hell is just beginning."
Castro was watched closely in the Cuyahoga County Jail in the several weeks after his arrest and before his guilty plea, with logs noting his activity every 10 minutes. He was taken off county jail suicide watch in early June after authorities determined he was not a suicide risk.
Castro's attorneys tried unsuccessfully to have a psychological examination of Castro done at the Cuyahoga County Jail, where Castro was housed before he was turned over to state authorities following his guilty plea and conviction, his attorney, Jaye Schlachet, told The Associated Press early Wednesday. Schlachet said he could not immediately comment further.
In an interview last month after Castro's conviction, Schlachet and attorney Craig Weintraub said their client clearly fit the profile of sociopathic disorder and that they hoped researchers would study him for clues that could be used to stop other predators.
This is the second high-profile suicide in an Ohio prison in a month.
On Aug. 4, death row inmate Billy Slagle was found hanged in his cell just days before his scheduled execution. He was condemned to death for fatally stabbing a neighbor.
