Lamar Odom's drinking has reached crisis level for Khloe Kardashian, and we've learned she desperately wants him to get help NOW ... but Lamar's digging in his heels.

Sources close to the still married duo tell us Khloe's doing everything she can to convince him to get treatment for addiction. We're told LO's happy to go to physical rehab, but refuses to deal with his drug demons.

We're told Khloe's even suggested an outpatient program, but Odom remains defiant.

Odom's own family members are also striking out. According to our sources, they've tried to convince him by pointing out several relatives, including his father, have addiction issues.

We're told Lamar's been communicating with his 2 kids in NY recently, but seeing him in a bar makes even them worry dad will fall back out of their lives.

Bottom line: No one close to Lamar believes he can "casually" drink without opening the door to renewed drug abuse.

Khloe's telling friends and family there will come a point when "she has to stop trying" to save Lamar.

Snoop Dogg's about to become way more than just a music legend ... if he's serious about saving L.A.'s iconic restaurant, Roscoe's Chicken N Waffles.

We got Snoop and Warren G outside Lure Nightclub Tuesday night and brought up the biggest news in Hollywood -- that the parent company of Roscoe's just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Snoop hadn't heard, and was floored -- you gotta see his reaction -- but he immediately started thinking about how to save the hot spot ... where he's a regular, mind you.

Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin came to the rescue of a little kid who got crushed by the crowd that gathered to get a peek at the women shopping.

Unclear if the kid was a fan, or just an innocent bystander -- but he totally got flattened as Kendall and Hailey made their way through the crowd outside Citipups Chelsea. The video's insane and the kid had to be terrified.

With the Lakers reportedly "isolating" D'Angelo Russell ... one person is still embracing him, Iggy Azalea -- who just gave D.A. a shout-out for helping to expose her fiancé Nick Young.

Great news for Justin Bieber fans ... he's still doing backstage meet and greets, but not with Beliebers who dropped up to $2k to get backstage -- instead, it's all about who you know.

Justin's team tells us in order to get a golden ticket you've got to be tight with JB himself or someone in his inner circle ... who can vouch that you're no security risk.

As we've reported, some Beliebers are pissed because Justin canceled all remaining meet and greet dates due to safety concerns and the stress of meeting fans' expectations. It didn't help matters when Wayne Gretzky's 13-year-old daughter popped up on social media ... posing with Bieber at a weekend gig.

Some fans smelled favoritism and reacted with comments such as, "It's funny that rich people still get meet and greets!" ... and "Good for Bieber to meet a Gretzky after saying he couldn't meet fans anymore."

Sorry, regular people. Life sucks.

Chris Brown called himself a "piece of sh*t" this morning after ranting against R&B singer Kehlani ... essentially saying her suicidal episode is a P.R. stunt concocted for sympathy.

Brown -- who's friends with Kehlani's NBA star ex-boyfriend Kyrie Irving -- went off on Kehlani in the middle of the night saying, "There is no attempting suicide. Stop flexing for the gram. Doing sh*t for sympathy so them comments under your pics don't look so bad."

As we previously reported, Kehlani was placed on a psychiatric hold Monday after posing a threat to herself in the wake of rumors she cheated on Irving with a previous boyfriend.

For the record, Kehlani strongly DENIES cheating -- saying she and Irving were broken up when she got back with her ex.

But Brown ain't buyin' it -- trashing Kehlani in several tweets ... and saying she's basically been blackballed from NBA games.

The Internet went insane over Brown's comments -- with people coming out of the woodwork to blast the singer for being insensitive.

Brown responded by saying, "I'll be the BIGGEST PIECE OF 💩. But ima ride for my Homies regardless. KYRIE is probably one of the only good guys left. IDGAF!!!"

As for Kehlani, it's unclear if she's in the hospital -- but sources close to the singer tell us she's doing much better.

Marcia Clark and Chris Darden blew the O.J. Simpson murder trial because jurors were more focused on whether they were doing the deed ... according to one infamous panel member.

Michael Knox was juror #620 -- the guy featured on 'The People v. O.J.' who got booted for lying about a prior conviction. He told us many jurors saw Marcia as unprofessional, partly due to the perceived sexual tension ... but also because some female jurors were offended by Clark's short skirts.

How offended? You gotta see the word he used to describe Marcia.

But Knox thinks Mark Fuhrman's lie about the "n-word" really sealed the deal for the defense. His take on the word is, umm ... something to see.

The race for the White House is becoming 'WrestleMania' ... with candidates smack talking each other on TV like they're fresh out of the WWE ... so says someone who would know -- John Cena.

Red Bull energy drink got one guy so hyped up on caffeine it destroyed his heart, and his family says the company knew about the medical risk ... but did nothing to warn consumers.

Ann Lemley is suing the energy drink giant over her 44-year-old son William's 2014 death. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, she says William died after ingesting "toxic amounts of caffeine and other chemicals" in Red Bull.

Lemley points out in the suit ... multiple studies have been done about the negative health consequences of the popular beverage. She claims Red Bull fails to alert its customers to risks associated with the drink ... including hypertension and cardiovascular conditions.

Her son ultimately died of a string of heart ailments.

Lemley's suing for more than $35 million in damages. We've reached out to Red Bull, but have not heard back.

7:30 A.M. PST -- A rep for the company tells TMZ, "Over 60 billion cans of Red Bull Energy Drink have been consumed since it first went on sale in 1987 and it is available in over 165 countries because health authorities around the world have concluded that it is safe to consume.

The European Food Safety Authority has recently again confirmed the safety of energy drinks. So, there is no justification to treat energy drinks differently than coffee, tea or other caffeine containing soft drinks. One 250 ml (8.4 fl oz) can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee (80 mg)."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are no longer living under Kris Jenner's roof ... they've moved into the Bel-Air fixer upper even though they're already planning to sell it.

TMZ has learned they felt like this was the right time to fly the coop since they have 2 kids now. When they moved in with mom, Kim was only pregnant with North.

As for their new digs ... you'll recall ... the couple bought the Bel-Air spread for $11 million in 2013 and immediately overhauled it. We're told renovations were completed a few months ago, and a moving truck pulled in Tuesday. But it's a temporary move, since the mansion's already on the market for $20 million.

Ultimately, Kimye will set up shop in a Hidden Hills estate they're building near Kris ... once that construction's complete in a couple months.

Moving. Some people don't mind it, apparently.

George Lopez has a rule when it comes to selecting caddies -- "I use the whitest guy I can find."

Lopez -- a huge golf fanatic -- was out in NYC when we started talkin' Tiger Woods.

Ex "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Masika Kalysha is ready to pop -- she went into labor on Tuesday, and baby daddy Fetty Wap ... is rushing to be there for the birth.

Masika's rep tells TMZ she went into labor around 12:30 PM, and she instantly notified Fetty. We're told he booked the first flight out of New Jersey and has now landed in L.A. The rep sent us this shot of mommy-to-be in her hospital room.

We're told Fetty wants to be at the hospital when the kid arrives. He and Masika have come a long way. Remember, Fetty originally denied even being the father.

Based on his tweets ... sounds like Fetty is pretty happy about the pending arrival.

The woman claiming to be Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend didn't get the restraining order she requested after failing to produce any evidence she'd ever dated the singer.

Danielle Patti got her day in court to back up her bizarre claims -- that she and CB hooked up last December and when they broke up, he started harassing and threatening her via text and social media.

She'd already been granted a temporary restraining order, but on Tuesday in a L.A. court a judge asked Patti to hand over proof of any threatening messages from Brown. She told the judge she'd erased them because they scare her and she "didn't want the memories."

She also admitted she didn't have Chris' phone number or email address after being grilled by Chris' lawyers, Ben Meiseles and Setara Qassim.

The judge quickly tossed the case.

Michael Strahan is feeling mighty young today ... if it's true you're only as old as the women you feel.

The 44-year-old star of 'Kelly and Michael' was all over his 28-year-old gf Kayla Quick during their vacay on St. Barts. The couple showed off their hard bodies on the beach, and played what looks like a game of tag in the water. Clearly, they both won.
