Two days after the premiere of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's new reality series, Khloe & Lamar, the L.A. Lakers star is already struggling to adapt to the rigors of fame.
"I thought it was going to be easy. It's really tough," Odom, 31, tells Ellen DeGeneres in a new interview airing Tuesday.

Kardashian -- who also appears on her family's E! series Keeping Up With the Kardashians -- admits she tried to initially shield her husband from the pressures of being followed by cameras 24/7.
"I knew from doing my family's show how intense and grueling and how much they are really in your face," Kardashian, 26, says. "I personally didn't want to do the show. I love taping. I just didn't want to put Lamar through that pressure and Lamar was like, 'let's do it.'"

Consenting to the cameras was easier said than done for Odom, and three days into filming, he tried to quit.
"He said, 'Can you tell your mom to get us out of this contract?' I go, 'Absolutely not. That ship has sailed,'" Kardashian said.

While their already hectic life is no doubt made busier by having cameras around, Kardashian does see one major plus to taking part in the series, which airs its second episode Sunday.
"Lamar loves the finished product and we have really expensive home videos," Kardashian says.

5I really like watching Khloe and Lamar because they are so sweet together BUT whats about with Lamar and his charity thing for about 30 friends ? I was shocked, he should really listen to his Wife and trust her when it comes to Buissnes, cause he obviously has no idea.
Khloe and Lamar! Love them! Love this idea... Did you know you can keep up with the content and your blog at the same time? You can with DISH NETWORK! They have a sling adapter that turns your mobile phone or laptop into a television set that access your programming package as well as your DVR. It's the best, and not just because I have an employee subscription. It's great because it's technology that works! Google DISH for more info. You won't find this application with Cablevision.
LOL actually @ Pixie...I read somewhere where Kris is already pushing for Kendall and Kylie to do their own show. Not sure if that's just a rumor or not b/c I would think due to legal purposes they would be too young for just a show of their own but who knows??
UGH what a money hungry family they are. How much more can they do? Mark my words there's going to be a Rob reality show,its going to be about him trying to find "love"..then after that Kris the family "PIMP" will throw her young daughters out there to..hmmm let me guess.. another reality show about their "model" careers. ENOUGH ALREADY!
No, Lamar. That pimp Kris is not gonna let you take money out of her pockets.
