Lamar Odom is now in the crosshairs of prosecutors who may file cocaine possession charges against him, but if they do, it could be a first for the D.A., which raises troubling questions.

Nye County D.A. Angela Bello says her office is considering filing criminal charges against Lamar -- either possession of coke or being under the influence of a controlled substance.

We've done some checking, and we were unable to find a single case in Nye County where someone OD'd, landed in the hospital, and was prosecuted for drug possession.

An official from the Nye County Sheriff's office tells us they have definitely referred such cases to the D.A., but the official does not know of any cases that have actually been prosecuted.

We contacted the D.A. and asked if they ever prosecuted someone who ended up in the hospital after OD'ing on drugs, but we could find none.

What's particularly troublesome with Lamar ... as we reported, he's unable to walk, can barely speak and has substantially impaired cognitive function. He may not even be competent to stand trial.

The NFL is still screwed up when it comes to meting out justice for domestic violence -- so says Al Sharpton.

Sharpton cannot understand how Ray Rice was ultimately banished from the NFL while Greg Hardy was given a second chance.

He thinks it's not only unfair to the players ... but to the women they abuse.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West brought daughter Nori along for a 3 hour visit with ailing Lamar Odom.

Sources tell us the West fam piled into the family Range Rover and headed to Cedars-Sinai hospital on Sunday. It was the first time Kanye's seen Lamar since he nearly died just over a month ago -- and we're told doctors hoped Yeezy's presence might help jog LO's memory.

TMZ broke the story ... Lamar's been having trouble recognizing loved ones, and doctors fear he's suffered permanent brain damage.

Holly Holm ... the merciful?

After Ronda Rousey trashed her in public -- and called her a "fake humility bitch" on Instagram -- UFC champ Holly Holm is calling for the Rousey haters to BACK OFF the fallen legend.

Holm Skyped in to the "TMZ Sports" TV show (Monday at 9PM PT on FS1) -- and said she actually feels BAD for Ronda, who's been ripped by everyone from Lady Gaga to Laila Ali.

"I think people can be pretty brutal," Holm said ... "and when you're in the spot shes in, there are people that are just going to jump ship and I don't ever wish for that."

She added, "I have a lot of respect for her."

There's A LOT more on the show -- with Holm talking about everything from a rematch with Rousey to if she plans on following Ronda's championship road to movie stardom!!

Make sure to watch "TMZ Sports" on FS1 weekdays at 9PM PT ... except for Wednesdays at 9:30PM PT.

Bigger is better -- that's clearly the way Brittish Williams sees it when it comes to her rack.

The former "Basketball Wives LA" star decided to enhance her boobs recently, and TMZ has obtained the before/after pics.

We're told Williams upgraded from a small C-cup to size 36D. Sources close to Williams tell us she went under the knife nearly 4 weeks ago, and she's finally healed and ready to flaunt the goods.

Williams -- who split from her fiance, European basketball star Lorenzo Gordon, over the summer -- made the choice to go bigger and more lifted to boost ... her confidence. Looking more shapely in clothes doesn't hurt either.

Mission accomplished, Brittish.

A rep for Meadow Walker tells TMZ, "It is beyond regrettable that Porsche is trying to deflect its own responsibility by blaming the victim -- Paul Walker -- for his own death by getting into the passenger seat of its Carrera GT. Contrary to Porsche's assertions, the facts are clear: Paul was the passenger in a car that was not designed to protect its occupants, in a crash on a dry, empty straightaway in broad daylight and at speeds well below the vehicle's advertised capabilities."

The rep adds, "If Porsche had designed the car to include proper safety features, Paul would have survived, he would be filming 'Fast and Furious 8' and Meadow Walker would have the father she adored."

Paul Walker's daughter is going to have a fight on her hands with her wrongful death lawsuit, because Porsche has now fired back, saying Paul's death was his own fault.

Porsche has filed an answer to Meadow Walker's suit, saying Paul was "a knowledgeable and sophisticated user of the 2005 Carrera GT." The car company does not elaborate, but they are saying Paul should not have allowed or participated in a high-speed ride under the conditions that existed.

Porsche also takes issue with allegations that the car's design was defective. The car company says "the subject 2005 Carrera GT was abused and altered ..." The company added the car was "misused and improperly maintained."

Porsche makes various claims, some of which if proven would foreclose any recovery of money, but the company also suggests there might be "comparative fault" ... meaning Paul was partly to blame and any damages awarded should be reduced accordingly.

Well, at least one person still believes in Peyton Manning ...

Despite the vomit-inducing performance he put on this weekend, "Today" show co-host Hoda Kotb says she still STRONGLY believes in the Broncos QB.

In fact, she even lays out a case for Manning ... saying he's still "golden" ... and predicts he'll eventually return to greatness!!!

Screw Ronda Rousey ... Cris "Cyborg" Justino says she's moved on -- and now has her sights set on fighting the new UFC champ, Holly Holm.

The 30-year-old UFC star -- and reigning Invicta FC World Featherweight Champion -- has been saying for years that Rousey has been ducking her because she "can't take a punch."

Amar'e Stoudemire got one hell of a birthday gift from his Miami Heat bosses and teammates -- who pitched in to buy A.S. a $25,000 watch ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Dwyane Wade, Gabby Union, Pat Riley, Alonzo Mourning and Heat owner Micky Arison hit Cipriani in Miami Sunday night for a bday celebration for the big man ... who turns 33 Monday!

We spoke with a rep for Haute Living -- which helped throw the party with Hublot -- who tells us Stoudemire received a Hublot special edition Miami Heat watch during the shindig.

"The watch retails for $24,700," the rep tells us ... "and all of the players, coaches and the owner chipped in to buy it for him."

Holly Holm is getting major praise from her former high school -- with the athletic director telling TMZ Sports they've already ordered a banner to hang in the gym because "she's an inspiration to our female athletes."

Holm attended Manzano High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico -- where she played SEVERAL sports -- and even served as a team manager for the football team.

We spoke with athletic director Matthew Espinoza who tells us the entire city was glued to their TVs when Holly fought Ronda Rousey this past weekend -- and everyone wants to pay tribute to their hometown hero.

"We're going to hang a banner in the gym to recognize her because she is quite the inspiration for our female athletes," Espinoza says.

"The whole city of Albuquerque is proud of her."

Espinoza says he remembers Holm from when she was in high school -- and says he's amazed how far she's come.

Khloe Kardashian was rushing to divorce Lamar Odom, so she could be with James Harden -- and only pulled the divorce papers because Lamar was in a coma.

Khloe went on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show to talk about Lamar's health, and her relationship with NBA superstar, Harden -- and she makes it seem like they never broke up throughout Odom's near-death experience.

TMZ broke the story ... when Khloe and Lamar called off their divorce, she hoped they would reconcile. But Monday morning, it sounded like Harden's been waiting in the wings all along. She told Ryan, "There are times I’m sure he was very uncomfortable with things. But I’m glad he’s been so supportive to me."

The 3 American heroes who bravely teamed up to BEAT DOWN a gun-toting terrorist on a Paris-bound train were honored by the Lakers Sunday night ... with Kobe Bryant personally giving all 3 guys their props.

All 3 heroes got the VIP treatment at Staples Center -- including Alek Skarlatos, Anthony Sadler and Spencer Stone ... who made the trip despite recovering from stab wounds suffered in a recent bar attack.

As we previously reported, Sadler was wearing a Lakers shirt when he and his friends tackled and subdued the gunman during the August incident.

The team took notice and wanted to thank the men -- giving them VIP seats, personalized jerseys and private meetings with players and team officials, including Jeanie Buss.

BTW, the Lakers won yesterday -- so, INVITE 'EM BACK!!!!

Remember "Rocky III" when Rocky gets knocked the hell out by Clubber Lang -- but then refocuses, gets his crap together and beat Mr. T's entire career into oblivion?

Yeah, that's sorta what Kevin Hart thinks is gonna happen with Ronda Rousey.

Dude was trying to tell us how every champion gets tested ... a low moment ... and this is clearly Ronda's low moment.

So ... will she be Rocky in "Rocky III"?? Or will she be Drago?

"In order to be the best in the world, you definitely don't EVER get beat up like that in your prime, period." -- Laila Ali on Ronda Rousey

Daaaaaaaamn!!!!!!

Seems Donald Trump and Laila Ali have something in common -- 'cause he also HATES Ronda Rousey ... saying he's glad she got thumped up!

Trump went to Twitter and wrote, "Glad to see that @RondaRousey lost her championship fight last night. Was soundly beaten - not a nice person!"

Of course, the beef could stem from the fact Ronda endorsed Bernie Sanders for president earlier this month -- and ripped Trump along the way.

Back in August, she told CNN ... "I wouldn't vote for [Trump]. I just really wouldn't trust the guy with running my country, that’s all ... I'm not really going to get into specifics of it, but, I mean, I don't want a reality TV star to be running my country."

Donald did have some nice things to say about one athlete this weekend -- Trump supporter Tom Brady -- saying, "Tom Brady just did it again. He is not only a great guy, he is, without question, the BEST quarterback!"

Master P knows exactly who to blame for his son Romeo's hoops career ending ... Master P ... saying that his kid would've laced 'em up in the NBA for sure ... if he didn't have a famous father.

FYI -- Romeo attended USC on a basketball scholarship ... and despite showing some serious flashes of athleticism, he never made it to that next level.

But according to P, it wasn't talent that kept him out of the league -- "If he wasn't Romeo he'd probably be in the NBA right now."

P knows the game -- nabbing pre-season contracts with the Hornets and Raptors back in the late '90s -- question is ... is P looking at the situation through rose colored glasses?

As for Romeo, he's doing just fine without hoops ... he's the president of No Limit Forever Records and one of the stars of P's new reality show "Family Empire" which airs on Reelz.
