Lamar Odom's estranged reality TV wife Khloe Kardashian is rumored to be a top candidate to replace Chelsea Handler once she steps down from her E! Network late night talk show.

Sources tell HollywoodLife.com the 29-year-old Kardashian, now in the process of divorcing the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award winner and in the middle of a budding relationship with bad boy rapper French Montana, "is a top contender" for the soon-to-be vacated spot.

Yet, even as The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star gets closer to Montana and focusses on the potential new venture, the website reports her thoughts often remain fixated on Odom and the dissolution of their four-year union.

"It looks like Khloe is moving on from Lamar but the truth is she still feels pain from that lost relationship," a source told HollywoodLife.

Citing irreconcilable differences, Kardashian filed for divorce from the 34-year-old Odom last December following a summer where he was arrested for DUI, spent time in a drug treatment facility and was accused of cheating with at least three different women.

In the end, all the hard times seem to have taught Kardashian how to come face-to-face with some of her most difficult struggles, a quality that may even be serving her now as she seeks the late-night hosting gig.

"She's not afraid to ruffle some feathers and execs like that," the source added.
