Khloe Kardashian is about to become a mom.

No, the newlywed isn’t pregnant, but husband Lamar Odom is finally ready to introduce his bride to his children.

“Of course,” the LA Laker told Eonline.com’s Party Girl when asked if Kardashian will meet his kids, 10-year-old daughter Destiny and 7-year-old son Lamar, Jr.

Both youngsters were conspicuously absent from the duo’s wedding back in September.

“Honestly, I just lost weight!” the newlywed told EOnline.com. “I want to be a skinny pregnant person, like how my sister Kourtney looks so cute pregnant. I can’t be a house [after] I just lost weight.”

“Growing up in Hollywood, we definitely had friends who were obsessed with being skinny, but that’s not really what we’re about,” she said. ” We just want to be in our best shape.”

Latest Update

A parade was being planned for Wednesday. City officials were meeting Monday afternoon to plan for security along the parade route and a rally to be held at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Lakers spokesman John Black confirmed that the team and the city will kick in about $1 million apiece for the party. Citing the city’s financial crisis, unions representing police, traffic officers, street and sanitation workers demanded the Lakers or other private groups pay for it.

Bratton didn’t know how much the parade would cost, but he said the team and members of the business community planned to provide financial assistance. The cost will depend on the number of city workers needed.

The Lakers won the NBA championship this Sunday,but there might not be a city parade.

But with cash-strapped Los Angeles looking at the possibility of laying off municipal workers or forcing them to take unpaid days off to counter a budget deficit, some at City Hall are uncomfortable with the parade’s price tag, which could exceed $1 million.

“We can’t afford to cover the costs,” Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry, whose district includes Staples Center, said Friday afternoon. “How could we make a decision about people’s jobs and then sponsor the parade?”

Shouldn’t the Lakers and the NBA pay for that, she asked?

The Lakers won Nba title and Kobe Bryant MVP award

The Lakers found their destination to their 15th N.B.A. championship after a meandering route. When the final buzzer sounded, they stood with an 99-86 series-clinching victory in Game 5 against the Orlando Magic, whose season-long resilience was lost amid Bryant’s efficiency.

With 30 points Sunday, Bryant secured his first finals Most Valuable Player award. The ear-splitting chants of “Beat L.A.” early in the game at Amway Arena were replaced by choruses of “M.V.P.” as Bryant marched to the free-throw line late in the game.

The champagne-drenched evening ended a seven-year championship drought in which speed bumps had turned into mountains for the Lakers. In the stretch between titles, the Lakers had become burdened by soap-opera story lines: from the trade of Shaquille O’Neal to the retirement and rehiring of Coach Phil Jackson to the disappointing showing in last season’s finals against the Boston Celtics.
