NEW Since waking from a three-day coma, Lamar Odom's health has been making a steady improvement as the Kardashian clan united around his bedside in a Las Vegas hospital over the weekend. A number of reports indicated that the former LA Lakers star, for the first time, could socialize and move around.

Showing just how split the once-close family have become, Caitlyn went to the cinema with a friend, no longer part of the Kardashian inner circle.

It is not a picture one expects to see coming out of Saudi Arabia: a burka-clad woman, allegedly lying down drunk in the streets of the capital. But ex-pats - who themselves admit to wild parties on western compounds in the desert state - won't be too surprised.

Westerners who live there also claim the police often turn a blind eye - which makes the arrest and punishment of British grandfather Karl Andree even more hypocritical.
