Anita Baker's ex- might get her royalties

According to the Detroit News and Channel 7, Anita Baker's ex-husband is after part of her royalties from her singing career.  The singer-songwriter faces possible jail time in a contempt of court hearing in Wayne County after refusing to sign documents to turn over some of her royalties from her long career over to her ex-.  The two have two teenaged sons.  Says the 52-year-old Baker, "I've been in the music business more than 20 years. We are talking about a multimillion-dollar business."  The thing is, I have heard him sing not a note!  Get a job man, get a job.

Joe Jackson granted access to Michael Jackson's medical records

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that Joe Jackson can receive his son, Michael Jackson’s, medical records from the UCLA Medical Center. Joe Jackson's attorney, Brian Oxman, sought the records as part of an effort to obtain a $15,000 montly stipend for Joe from Michael's estate; Michael provided for his three children and his mother, but excluded his his father from his will. The judge will review the records first before releasing them to Oxman. Beckloff also ruled Jackson can only review records generated on or after the date of Michael's death so as to not violate doctor-patient confidentiality. Anyone granted review of the medical records will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement. Jackson and Oxman stated they are also considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Michael's death.

Nas is $200,000 behind in child support

Nas is allegedly over $200,000 behind in his child support payments to Kelis for their infant son together; Nas has a court order to pay $51,000 a month in support.  He faces criminal contempt charges if he doesn't pay up.  I bet that milkshake is tasting pretty sour right about now.

Big Brother will be watching Sisqo unleash the dragon

Sisqo will star on Big Brother UK along with Stephen Baldwin, Heidi Fleiss, and Vinnie Jones.  He might not get to see his paycheck, though, if Jamila Farid has any say.  Last year Jamila accused Sisqo of fathering her 10-year-old son; Jamila claims she had a one -night-stand with the singer in Switzerland when she was only 14-years-old

America's Next Top Babymama

Nik Pace, America's Next Top Model contestant, has filed a paternity suit against New York Jets Star Braylon Edwards seeking support for the son she bore several months ago. Edwards had filed for recognition as the father in Georgia, but Pace rejected his claim. She then filed for support in New York State seeking $70,000 a month in child support. Edwards is said to make $5 million a year.

John Edwards...YOU ARE THE FATHER...

John Edwards has never admitted to fathering a love child with a one-time staffer, but new legal documents suggest the failed presidential hopeful is the baby's daddy -and may soon have to pay up big-time.

The new documents posted yesterday by radaronline.com detail an ongoing money battle between Edwards and Rielle Hunter, 45, whom Edwards has admitted bedding even as his wife, Elizabeth, discovered she had cancer.

Edwards has never copped to fathering little Frances Quinn Hunter, now almost two years old.

Hunter is seeking more than $17,000 a month from Edwards, a tab that includes some pretty high-end demands, the documents show.

She wants $800 a month for eating out, $400 a month for "club dues and memberships" and $1,200 a month for a security guard - apparently to keep the paparazzi at bay.

She also believes Edwards - who famously paid $400 for a haircut during his presidential run - should pay her $250 a month to trim her and Frances' locks.

The documents emerged at the same time that reports have swirled that Edwards purchased a four-bedroom, $535,000 home for Hunter to live in in Charlotte.

Joe Jackson got shut down

Following on the heels of his recent filing demanding support from his late son, Michael Jackson's estate, Jackson 5 patriarch, Joe Jackson, filed a motion claiming John McClain and John Branca should be removed as executors of Michael's estate. The elder Jackson claims his son believed Branca and McClain had defrauded him and accused the two administrators of conflicts of interest. Joe Jackson's attorney Brian Oxman said in a phone interview with the Associated Press that his client is allowed to challenge the executors as "an interested party who has the right to be an executor or personal representative." Michael Jackson's 2002 will left his entire estate to his three children and his mother with a portion going to support children's charities; the will omitted Joseph Jackson entirely.

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said Joe Jackson could not challenge the executors of the estate. "I don't think he gets to step into this and create further litigation," the judge decreed. "Joe Jackson takes none of this estate. This is a decision his son made." He did, however say Joe Jackson could petition the court for an allowance from the estate since his son had been supporting him for many decades.

In a surprise move, the lawyer for Michael Jackson's mother and heir of his estate, Katherine Jackson, withdrew Mrs. Jackson's objection to the Branca and McClain as special administrators saying she felt they could "enhance the legacy of Michael Jackson in the best interest of his children." This reversal ends months of legal wrangling the executors from Mrs. Jackson and her adult children, however it swept the legs from beneath her husband's legal objection to their appointment. Mr. Jackson's attorney Oxman called the abrupt about face despicable and hinted at a possible lawsuit against his client's wife for her failure to support his motion.

Meet Laura Govan

She is the fiance of Washington Wizard baller Gibert Arenas, mother of his two children and close friend of Va'shaundya(Shaunie) O'neal. Rumor has it that Shaq is shacking with Ms. Govan and that paper she's holding up is the petition for legal separation Shaunie's lawyers filed in LA County Superior Court. Shaunie has up and moved her four children with Shaq to live in Cali to take advantage of the generally generous spousal support in that state and besides there was no way she was moving to Cleveland.

$1,000 for groceries
$1,200 for rent (where,at a Public Storage?)

No money to pay legal fees in the first place?
PRICELESS!!!

Sheree Whitfield's husband Bob attempts to air that ass out

Real Housewives of Atlanta's Sheree Whitfield has been harping on how her ex-husband, former NFL baller Bob Whitfield, did her dirty during their marriage and is shirking his responsibilities to their children. I always thought it curious Bob never said anything with all the negative statements she made about him. Well, now he is striking back talking about her looks and attitude in an on-air interview with The Nigel and Marco Show.

“I wish her the best. I’m happy [she's] doing something...I wish Sheree would quit trying to trash me and then use my last name...I’m feeling like I’m the mad scientist and I created Frankenstein. She didn’t have that nose, I put that nose on her. She didn’t have them breasts, I put them breasts on her. Put some electricity on that ass, now she’s tearing up the gotdamn laboratory. Sit down somewhere and calm it down. You forget who made you girl.”

Whitfield also hinted he has a sex tape with Sheree that might make an appearance if she doesn't cool her jets. Something tells me Sheree would welcome the attention brought by a sex tape, especially if the lesbian rumors persist.

Khloe and Lamar signed their prenup

Reportedly, Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have finally signed their prenuptial agreement, clearing the path for them to make their marriage legal. Allegedly Khloe and her negotiators, including her mother Chris Jenner, sought a new luxury car every year, a mansion, $5,000 a month for shopping, $1,000 for cosmetics and beauty treatments, and in the event of their divorce, $25,000 a month in alimony along with a half million dollars for every year they were married.

Reportedly, Khloe will only receive a small fraction of what she sought. TMZ reports Lamar will have to purchase a mansion for them to share during the marriage (it is unclear whether or not this home will remain with Khloe in the event of a divorce), will have to pay a lump sum for each year they are married, and will be required to fund a joint account for the two of them. Khloe has given up all rights to Lamar's NBA earnings; he has just inked a $33 million deal with the Lakers.

If you ask me, she needs to work on her shoveling techniques because she obviously got muscle fatigue and pooped out here. Don't they look a bit alike around the nose and mouth in that picture?

Jemaine, don't take it personal...

But your ex-Alejandra Jackson filed a lawsuit against you because she claims you have stopped paying child support for your two kids, Jermajesty (can you imagine them sitting around for nine months and that's what they came up with?) and Jaffar. According to TMZ, Alejandra says that Jermaine claims that he only made $35,000 in 2008, yet owes $35,000 in child support although he still lives in a mansion and drives a Rolls,so he needs to get serious.

This situation does not tickle anyone's fancy.

Alexandra also claims that Jermaine's mother Katherine helps her out by giving her gift cards to Ralph's grocery store so that she can buy food for the boys.

Before you go too hard on Jermaine, she also has three kids with Randy who at one time WORKED at Ralph's. So, you still like me don't you?

Another person is trying to get paid off Michael

Another business manager has come forward with a claim against Michael Jackson's estate. Don Stabler claims he was hired by Michael's brother Randy to straighten out his tax problems. According to papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Stabler says he charged $325 an hour for 632 hours of 'dealing with others' on behalf of Michael. He is seeking $180,400.

Stabler is no stranger to lawsuits involving the Jackson fortune. In 2007, Michael Jackson gave a sworn deposition in a federal lawsuit claiming Stabler and Michael's brother, Randy, tried to get Michael to sign over his fortune during his 2005 molestation trial. Michael testified that when Mike refused to sign the papers, Stabler went ballistic shouting, 'What's the problem? You're not down, you're with the Jews now. You're not down with blacks anymore?" Michael said the next time he saw Stabler, "He wanted to take my head off."

Et tu, Randy? Et tu?

I've got (s)hoes in different area codes

Nashville is talking about Steve McNair's tricking and treating again. A Nashville area property management company has begun legal proceedings against the estate of the former Tennessee Titan for unpaid rent. Apparently, McNair co-signed on an apartment for yet another mistress. The woman had the utilities in her own name, but relied on on McNair to foot the bill. When he was shot by his emotionally disturbed mistress Shahel Kazemi, the cash flow was cut off. The surviving mistress moved out abruptly in August and never paid July's rent. The management company is seeking payment of the remainder of the lease as well as other damages.

Beyonce's Daddy's Alleged Babymama

He could always pull a Big Poppa and put a ring on it. It is cheaper to keep her, after all. Or at least make her think there is a chance you might ever leave your wife in this life time.

Michael Jackson knew how to spot a golddigger

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, one of Michael Jackson's former spiritual advisors has been making the media rounds for the past two weeks to promote his latest exploitative moneygrubbing book detailing conversations he had with Michael.

According to tapes he made of these conversations, Boteach said Michael held women in high regard but at the same time was very suspicious of their motives; Michael had encountered many women who used their womanly wiles to manipulate the men around them:

Jackson: "Women can do some things that make guys very unhappy. I see it with my brothers. I see my brothers crying in tears and pulling the grass out of the lawn out of frustration because of their wives."

Boteach: "Do you think all their wives were interested more in their success than in them?"

Jackson: "Absolutely. They were after their money. That's why I said to myself, 'I'll never be married.' I held out the longest. I stayed at home until I was 27, 28."

Boteach: "What was part of the attraction to Lisa Marie? That she had her own money? She had her own fame. You knew it wasn't about any of that."

Jackson: "Absolutely. She didn't take a penny, didn't want anything."
