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.

Antoine Walker is broke

Former NBA star Antoine Walker is broke--in millionaire's terms. The former forward made roughly $110 million over the span of a 12 year career including salary, adidas endorsements, and a cover for NBA Live 99. He still has over half that money left, but he is over $4 million in debt and facing check fraud charges. The Boston Globe gave a partial accounting of what he did with his money: two Bentleys, two Mercedes, a Range Rover, a Cadillac Escalade, a bright red Hummer--all customized/pimped/tricked out--he supported an entourage of 70 friends and family (isn't that how MC Hammer went broke?) and he built his mama a mansion in the Chicago suburbs, complete with an indoor pool, 10 bathrooms, and a full-size basketball court. At least he took care of mama and isn't facing child support charges.

Ice-T cut up on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien last night

For some reason, I really like Ice T. despite his past (and continued) pimping, "Cop Killer", and consorting with Superhead aside, I enjoy his acting. Now I can't co-sign on the house shoes and rollers in homeroom, but he seems like a genuine person. What you see is what you get.

Did Katt Williams just commit career suicide?

Did he just commit suicide or did he make himself relevant again by getting us to talk about him? Either way he looks high as hell!

El DeBarge Arrested for Domestic Violence

Pop singer El DeBarge was arrested for domestic violence last Wednesday morning at a Lancaster, Calif. home, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs confirm.

Details were not immediately available, but Sgt. John Coffeen tells PEOPLE that DeBarge was "cooperative" and that "an arrest like this usually involves abuse of a spouse or significant other during the rhythms of the night, some people don't prefer making arrests this way, but I like it. I don't know whose house it was, maybe Donna's, but he knows I arrested his funky ass in a special way."

El DeBarge, 46, real name Eldra DeBarge, is currently housed at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles, where he is wearin' it well for the inmate population. Debarge is being held on several outstanding warrants ranging from vandalism to drugs to driving with a suspended license that says "Who's Johnny" on it. On these particular warrants, bail is not an option,which means El Debarge will stay behind bars, how long only time will reveal when he sees the judge, then perhaps he can slide and make bail.

He is best known as the lead singer of the family group, DeBarge, which was founded in the late 1970s and which had their biggest hit, "Rhythm of the Night," in the mid-1980s before he launched a solo career. His publicist was not immediately available for comment-probably because he hasn't had one since 1987.

Creflo as in "Cash Flow"

TV mega-preacher Creflo Dollar, one of several high-profile ministers being accused of fleecing their flocks to finance their lavish lifestyles, is being sued by a California businessman, Devone Lawson who says the pastor stole his business idea of charging followers a monthly fee for devotional text messages.

The already very-rich Creflo and son Jeremy are raking in $50 million a year through the $4.99-per-month "Word on the Go" subscriptions, which the preacher recently hiked to $5.99, James Evangelista, Lawson’s Atlanta-based attorney, claims. “The word from the preacher ain’t cheap.”

Dollar reportedly has 30,000 congregants at his World Changer Church International in the Atlanta suburb of College Park. He also has another church in New York City and an international TV ministry. He along with other notable TV ministers are currently under investigation by the Senate Finance Committee, who contends that several televangelists, including Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn and Dollar have unscrupulously gained wealth by skirting tax laws and soaking their congregations for millions.
