I'm still in utter disbelief that A) Khloe and Lamar have separated, and B) Lam Lam has an apparent drug problem. The latest developments in the horrifying downward spiral? At this point, reports have revealed that both his family and his friends have sat him down to talk about his problem. Last Wednesday, the Kardashians staged an intervention with Lamar to address his use of the prescription narcotic OxyContin and other hardcore recreational drugs. When that confrontation was unsuccessful, his teammates stepped in Monday and sat him down for three hours at a Los Angeles hotel. 

"Lamar was sweaty and talking very fast," an insider told Perez Hilton. "His hands were shaking and he couldn't sit still. He kept pacing the room."

Right now, it's hard to keep track of what "news" is speculation and what's 100 percent real. One thing is for sure, though. If all of these drug abuse reports are true, then Lamar definitely needs help.

Addiction is a scary, scary thing. When signs start to show that someone you care about is slipping, it's natural to want to do everything you can to help them get help. Often, that is more than just a sit-down talk like Khloe, her family, and Lamar's teammates attempted. An even harder thing to cope with? That an intervention won't immediately change the problem at hand.

Sometimes helping someone beat addiction means doing the things they are not willing to. Whether that means looking into rehabilitation facilities, seeking out a doctor for them to talk to, or helping them get out of a bad environment and thus removing them from the situation, every little bit helps.

The good news? Lamar plans to come clean to the public about his problem, which is a MAJOR step in kicking the habit. Let's just hope that instead of hiding when the inevitable backlash and criticism follow, he seeks out the help he really needs.

Do you think Lamar and Khloe will make it out of this together or apart?

You knew something had to be wrong when Jenelle Evans' Twitter account went silent for more than 20 hours, and now we know why. The Teen Mom 2 star has been sent to jail. Again!

And showing just how seriously she takes it when the cops haul her off to jail, Jenelle had a big cheesy grin for her mugshot photo. Again!

She better hope boyfriend Nathan Griffith doesn't see this one.

'Memba when Griffith, a former Marine and total gym rat, said he'd leave Jenelle if she did drugs? Looks like his promise is being tested, like, right NOW.

Turns out Jenelle was in court today to make a plea that would allow her to skate on the heroin charges lodged against her after an altercation with husband Courtland Rogers earlier this year. That was when the judge decided it would be a good time to call for Jenelle to take a random drug test.

According to TMZ, the reality star's test came back positive for marijuana. So while the judge OK'd the plea that gave Jenelle just 18 months probation for heroin and illegal Percocet possession and a drug paraphernalia charge, he ordered she be hauled off to jail for 48 hours to pay for showing up to court with drugs in her system.

Sadly from the looks of her mugshot, the move hasn't scared Jenelle in the least. The grin she greeted jail with is what my grandparents would have called the shit-eating kind. She's amused by this! Clearly!

More From The Stir: Jenelle Evans Goes Where We Never Thought She’d Go

So if jail doesn't scare her, what will? Anything?

Maybe Nathan actually putting his money where his mouth is and walking away? After all, Jenelle does not do well when she's single -- the fact that she's dating him while still technically married shows that.

Nathan hasn't yet commented on his girlfriend's arrest other than to tell his ex-wife (and mother of his child) to "shut the f--k up" for breaking the news of Jenelle's failed drug test on Twitter. But if he really loves the Teen Mom 2 star, he'll step up and do SOMETHING about her return to jail. He has until Wednesday morning when she gets out to think about it ...

Can Nathan turn Jenelle around? Can anything?
