Lamar Odom checks into rehab

Basketball player Lamar Odom has entered a rehabilitation facility for drug and alcohol addiction treatment.

Odom, who is married to socialite Khloe Kardashian, has recently been at the centre of cheating allegations and drug abuse. He himself said that he is addicted to Oxycontin, Ambien and cocaine.

"He realised he needs help," people.com quoted a source as saying.

Last week, Odom was stopped while driving on Los Angeles' 101 freeway, and he was arrested for driving under influence.
