In an ironic development, the Kardashian sisters are now being accused of not enough self-promotion: Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim are being sued for over $180 million due to lack of marketing and promotion efforts for their “Kardashian Beauty” makeup line. In court filings obtained by Radar Online, the Plaintiff, Hillair Capital Management, LLC, alleges:

…in July 2014, whereby Hillair agreed to put up millions of dollars to help the Kardashians salvage their struggling ‘Kardashian Beauty’ makeup line after former distributor, Boldface, went belly up amidst legal and financial troubles. The essence of the parties’ bargain was that Hillair would put up millions of dollars to fund the continued distribution of the Kardashians’ line, and the Kardashians would continue to be the faces of the line and actively promote, market and support the line, while making certain concessions under their existing deal with Boldface.

The problem, Hillair alleges, is that the sisters did not uphold their end of the bargain: “the Kardashians wanted a better, more lucrative deal than they had struck with Hillair after the money to continue the line was already committed, and they used their ability to withhold their support of the line to attempt to force Hillair into a buyout of its interest.”

In return, Hillair is now demanding the return of the over $10 million it invested into the company, as well as up to $180 million in loss of value of equity interest.

This makeup line has been the cause of multiple legal headaches for the Kardashian sisters. The line was launched in 2012 under the name Khroma Beauty, but was accused of trademark infringement by two different companies: the Los Angeles-based Chroma Makeup, and a separate Florida-based company called Kroma Makeup. While the former was denied by courts, the second (Kroma with a K) was successful in forcing a temporary injunction to stop sales of the Kardashian’s brand for the duration of the trial. As a result, the company was finally forced to change its name to “Kardashian Beauty” in 2013.

The troubles only continued from there: the distributor of Kardashian Beauty, Boldface Licensing and Branding, began to experience financial troubles, which is where Hillair stepped in and agreed to invest. Now, the management company is alleging that its deal specified that the Kardashians would continue the promotions they had been working on under their previous deal with Boldface, which they allegedly did not do.

Another day, another Kardashian lawsuit we’re “keeping up with.”

Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom is currently fighting for his life in a Las Vegas Hospital after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel Tuesday, in what appears to be an apparent accidental drug overdose.

Odom had checked into a VIP suite at Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada on Saturday, and then began “partying with the girls for days,” according to the brothel’s owner Denis Hof. Two women who work at the ranch reportedly saw Odom at 6am Tuesday and he was fine, but when they came back to check on him that afternoon, he was unconscious. Hof talked about the moment he found Odom with NBC News saying,

We called 911 and the 911 told my staff what to do — turn him over on his left side.

There was this terrible foaming stuff coming out of him, he was throwing up, a little bit of blood.

At 6’10”, Odom, 35, was too large to be airlifted according to the Chicago Tribune, so he was driven instead, about 65 miles, to Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas.

A hospital source told E! News that “virtually every drug imaginable was found in his system.” The same source also said Odom “remains unconscious and on a ventilator but is still alive,” after suffering from a loss of oxygen and at least one stroke. Doctors are now estimating that he has a 50/50 chance of survival.

Sadly for many, the overdose seemed almost inevitable after Odom’s life began a steady decline when his ex-wife and reality star Khloe Khardashian filed for divorce in December 2013 after four years of marriage due to Odom’s problems with infidelity and drugs. Odom has also frequently spoken out about the “hard time” he’s been going through after being plagued by a series of deaths throughout his life including his mother, grandmother, 7-month-old son, cousin. Most recently his best friend Jamie Sangouthai died of a heroin overdose.

Even after their separation, Khloe has continuously checked in on Odom out of fear for his welfare, which has been well documented on Khloe’s reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardahians.” In one episode Khloe even says,

I’m really on high alert for Lamar, because anything, I think, will set him to spiral, and that’s kind of the last thing I want for him.

Now Khloe is reportedly by Odom’s side along with her sister Kim, and mother Kris. Multiple sources say that she is “completely inconsolable.”

The only response from the Kardashian camp as of yet comes from Khloe’s half sister Kendall Jenner, who tweeted the message “please don’t go” out to her 13 million followers on Wednesday in obvious reference to Lamar.

please don’t go.

Odom’s longtime publicist and friend Eve Sarkisyan did however issue the following statement to US Weekly in regards to his condition,

Family and friends are extremely concerned for Lamar. Please don’t listen to the false information being circulated unofficially. Please respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time.
