Khloe Kardashian went a long way and did a lot of planning just for a hookup.

After terezowens.com and OK! Magazine reported on the relationship about Kardashian and Houston Rockets star guard James Harden, more gossip columns now are saying that Harden is simply the latest of Kardashian's flings.

James Harden now dating Khloe Kardashian?

Star Magazine is reporting that Kardashian simply is living the single life - although she is not single and still is legally married to former NBA star Lamar Odom - and is just having fun.

"But don't read too much into her hookups," Star Magazine reported. " 'Right now, Khloé just wants fun, no-strings-attached hookups,' dishes the source."

Adds thehollywoodgossip.com, "Insiders say Khloe and James are friends with frequent benefits, but nothing more...for now."

The 30-year-old Kardashian, however, went to an awful lot of effort to hook up with Harden, 25, for a one-night, or in this case, a seven-night stand.

Star Magazine reported that Kardashian recruited best friend Malika Haqq to join her for a Hawaiian getaway as a ruse for her encounter with Harden. Kardashian even posted a photo of Haqq and her on the trip.

"Even Khloé's Instagram of her and the bestie in Hawaii was pretty convincing it was a girls' getaway, but the Kardashian reality star went there to meet someone else," Star Magazine reported.

According to Star, Kardashian and Haqq spent one day riding ATVs and dining at Nobu with Harden and his entourage before they went to Addiction Nightclub. Kardashian and Harden left separately to avoid being photographed together.

The Star reported, however, that a source told OK! Magazine that Kardashian was spotted on the balcony of Harden's room, wearing nothing but a towel.

Plus, the fling doesn't sound like it's over.

"They're definitely going to spend more time together," the OK Magazine source adds. "He's [Khloé's] latest crush."
