Yuck!

Khloe Kardashian has been forced to cancel two public appearances on her Strong Looks Better Naked book tour because she has contracted a nasty staph infection while tending to Lamar Odom at the hospital, TMZ reports. Earlier today, she chalked it up to an unidentified illness, but we now know the cause. The New York Times bestselling author was scheduled to be in Houston on Friday.

"Dolls! So sorry I needed 2 re schedule my book signing. I'm sick & dr's orders are that I need to lay low until we narrow down what's wrong. I'll be going for more testing today. I'm very sorry again. Stress can run our bodies down so please everyone take care of yourselves," she wrote on Twitter earlier before learning of her diagnosis.

Her symptoms include a painful boil on her leg, a high fever, swollen glands, and uncontrollable sweating.

The reality star has had a tense month and a half, which began when estranged husband Lamar Odom overdosed at a Nevada brothel on October 13. Since then, the E! starlet has been by his side as he attempts to recover, all while trying to maintain her relationship with boyfriend James Harden and promote her latest project.

"It is very weird to be selling something or telling everybody 'go buy my book' when there's very serious things happening in my life. Real life happens and nothing is going to stop. Your work can't just stop. So we have to learn to juggle it all and still make time for yourself," she recently told the AP.

The things you do - and get! - for love.
