So maybe you have more important things to think about -- in fact, I hope you do. But here at The Stir, we've been worried about Lamar Odom. Last week, when Khloe couldn't find him, we joked that Lamar was the new Where's Waldo. It was all shits and giggles until someone said, "I'm just afraid he's going to be found somewhere, dead from an OD." Ooh, downer. No one wishes that for Lamar, no matter what he's done. Well, to our great relief he's very much alive. Photographers snapped Lamar walking around downtown LA late, late last night. But is he all right? It's hard to tell.

Around 10 p.m. Lamar chatted and posed for photos with fans at his apartment building. Shortly after midnight he was seen stopping by a sushi restaurant (but not staying), and then strolling to a deli where he bought a banana. He ate the banana on his way back to his apartment. Then he left again around 3:15 a.m., got into someone's car, and returned to his apartment building around 6 a.m.

So, eating a banana is pretty normal. Guy's got the late-night munchies, and he made a healthy choice. It's not exactly crackhead behavior, but it is odd that he went someplace at 3 in the morning. Could be a hot club, could be a booty call, could be anything. He may have just had a restless night. But whatever is going on, we're just glad to see him alive and looking well. As his wife Khloe would say, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." And if you ask him yourself, as one pap did, he'll tell you, "Life is good."

Lamar does kind of seem at loose ends, though. His marriage appears to be unraveling, and he's caught in a whirlpool of rumors about drug use and prostitutes. Can you blame a guy for not being able to sleep at night?

Do you think Lamar is on drugs, or just haunted by the turmoil in his life?

3 Little-Known Tips for Saving Money on Favorite Kids' Activities

The kids are finally heading back to school, but -- little busybodies that they are -- they’re still itching for things to do between soccer practices and playdates. And since you’re sick of seeing them glued to old iCarly episodes and playing Candy Crush on your iPad, here are 3 inexpensive ways to get them off the couch.

1. Save at the movies

Sure, family night at the movies is a no-brainer, but how do you make it happen without spending a week’s pay? Here are some tips:

• Join your theater’s loyalty program. Some, like the Regal Crown Club, are free and you earn points toward free tickets, popcorn, and candy.

• Buy your tickets at Costco. When you’re stocking up on Uncrustables, paper towels, and toilet paper, grab a discounted movie ticket pack. The wholesaler offers 10-packs for Regal Entertainment Group (and AMC for $84.99, and a 4-pack for Cinamark for $34.99. If your theater charges around $11, that’s $25 in savings. Which you can then blow on popcorn.

• Sign up for your favorite movie chain’s email newsletters. Each weekly email from Cinemark, for example, includes a free concession stand coupon. Also, like your favorite chains on Facebook. Regal Cinemas offers a weekly mobile coupon on its page – like $3 off a soft drink.

2. Spend less on e-books

We just love tablets and e-readers -- they're so easy to toss in a purse, read in bed late night without disrupting the hubs, or use to order up the latest literary masterpiece (like Fifty Shades of Grey, of course). But even though e-books are less expensive than their hardbound ancestors, they ain’t cheap. But it’s easy to save.

• If you don’t already have one, get a public library card. Libraries now offer e-book loans and you can find tons of titles to borrow for, yep, free.

• There’s also the Overdrive app, which allows you to borrow from your library and read on your smartphone or tablet.

• For access to more than 42,000 free e-pub and Kindle e-books -- and to brush up on the classics -- visit Project Gutenberg to download or read books online. Popular downloads include titles like Les Miserables, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Grimm’s Fairy Tales and Peter Pan. 

3. Score free museum and zoo admissions

It’s hard to argue with adding a little culture to your little one’s life, and when you can open their eyes to art, history, and science for free? This really should be a regular thing.

Before you schedule your museum or zoo outing, check the website for free days. Many museums host offer free admission on certain days (Target is a major sponsor of these efforts), and most are recurring throughout the year. Here are a few examples ...

• The Denver Art Museum hosts free days the first Saturday of each month.

• The Chicago Children’s Museum has free admission for kids 15 and younger the first Sunday of each month, and everyone gets in free from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

• At the San Diego Zoo, kids 11 and younger get in free the entire month of October (unlimited visits, too), with a coupon that can be printed off the organization’s website.
