SOBS at First Public Appearance
After Racist Scandal
Paula Deen was a big butterball of emotion today during her first public appearance since settling the racial discrimination lawsuit that destroyed her career ... and we've got the pics.

Paula appeared in Houston, Texas today for the Metro Cooking and Entertainment Show to mark her return ... and got choked up after receiving a standing ovation when she hit the stage.

The 66-year old chef told the crowd she had been wanting her return to take place in Texas all along ... and was just shedding tears of joy.

In case you've been living under a rock -- Deen was dropped by tons of sponsors after she admitted to using the n-word during the depo for the lawsuit earlier this year.

Cracked After Lamar OD Rumors Spread

Khloe Kardashian still has deep feelings for the man she threw out of their house, because TMZ has learned she was terrified after hearing rumors Lamar Odom may have OD'd on crack.

Rumors were circulating late last week that Lamar had OD'd and was dying ... not all that unbelievable considering his drug addiction ... and when Khloe heard about it she freaked.

We're told Khloe "panicked" and began power dialing Lamar's cell phone, but it kept going to voicemail.  She then started calling his friends -- a bunch of them -- trying to figure out if the rumor was true.

She finally got Lamar on the phone.  He was at their downtown loft and said he was fine and the rumor was false. 

We're told at that point Khloe pulled back and reiterated -- Lamar could not come back home unless he got treatment for his drug addiction.  The call ended shortly thereafter.

So it seems she still loves the guy ... but had clearly drawn a line in the sand.

Beyonce Sings at After Party
Lebron James tied the knot in California last night -- and instead of some crappy band "We Are Family" -- playing at the reception ... they got JAY-Z and BEYONCE!!!!

The Miami Heat forward and his fiancee Savannah Brinson made things official during a ceremony in San Diego at the Grand Del Mar Hotel ... after dating 12 years.

According to reports -- the 28-year-old basketball player was joined by teammate Dwyane Wade and his girlfriend Gabrielle Union ... as well as Jay Z and Beyonce who performed "Crazy in Love" at the reception.


... and you thought the picture booth at your wedding was cool.

Nice choice! Someone that knew you before you hit it big will undoubtedly be a better match. Best to both of you. Way to see past the strippers, groupies and actresses that just see the income and want a piece.

I wonder if he's like all the other professional athletes who are also professional cheaters as well.. I'd get tested for STDs 4 times a year if I was dumb enough to marry a pro-athlete.

I don't care if shes his elementary school sweetheart. Lebron better have an iron clad prenup or he might be in a situation like Kobe Bryant wanting to be single but having to stay because he knows Vanessa will clean him out in a divorce.
