Did Lamar Choose 2nd Best?

Word on the curb is Lamar Odom proposed to another Hollywood beauty before his whirlwind courting-engagement-marriage to Khloe Kardashian.

The LA sports radio show "Petros and Money" revealed:

“You want to know how in love Lamar is? Word is Lamar was madly in love with another young lady no less than one week before he met Khloe and asked that young lady to marry him and she said, ‘whoa, slow down.’

“This was another celebrity that sees herself grace the pages of TMZ. So you wonder … maybe Lamar had alternate plans and alternate intentions of making himself more of a celebrity than just a dude that plays basketball for the Lakers.

” … One week after he asked another young lady to marry him, he meets Khloe and three weeks later, he asks her to marry him.

” … We’re going to get this story, we’re going to further this story. We’ve planted the seeds on this story and I would say that some time by this time next week, we are going to watch it grow. Watch it bloom.

Oooh, scandalous! But the rumor is the lady love who told him to pump the brakes was Oscar-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson. So far, no one is commenting.
