Kelis Is Demanding $80K A Month+Beyonce Tour News+The Lakers Celebrate Their Championship

Jun 18 | by Natasha

Well Kelis has taken her case of brokeassness to the courts. She filed her expenses in court docs today to prove why she needs the money Nas is refusing to give her for baby expenses and living expenses. According to TMZ: Kelis says from 11/08 to 4/09, her average monthly income was $21,616. Hardly poor, but way less than what she and Nas were pulling in while she was with him. Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has some pretty hefty expenses -- $80,831 a month ... way more than she says she makes. Kelis says she hasn't toured in a year and most of her income comes from her concerts. Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny costs $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations -- not too shabby. And she says it cost $175 to have the "baby rug dry cleaned." So Ke Ke hasn't made over $20k in a month, but needs $80k for her mortgage and nanny and rug cleaning for her unborn baby. Can't wait to see how the judge rules on this one....

Girl group Rich Girl has just been confirmed to open for Beyonce's U.S. leg of her I Am tour. Definitely a surprising choice.... Pics from the Lakers congratulatory parade today when you read the rest...

Kobe, Vanessa, and their daughters celebrated the Lakers Championship on a parade float today in L.A.:

So did Derek Fisher and the rest of the team. Apparently the Lakers had to pony up $1 mill+ to have the parade b/c the city couldn't subsidize it this year. The Randomness: 1. Jamie Foxx is wrapped up in a new lawsuit. And is blaming it on the alcohol... 2. Aubrey O'Day got robbed outside her Manhattan hotel room this morning and the muggers stole everything she had in her hands--including her Zac Posen dress. She was on her way to film a segment for TV Guide. Meanwhile, no one really cares.

Okay, so I've noticed since

Okay, so I've noticed since Kobe's cheating incident that his wife is staying close by, but also noticed that she seems to be scared by that incident. She's all smiles for the camera, but seems scorned to me. She cusses everybody out in the presence of her kids with no regard for setting an example for them. They've been through several housekeepers...seems like nobody can work for her, and I think Kobe is trying to front like everything is okay with them. During the award ceremony at the last game, she was not at all connected with anybody else on that podium but Kobe and their kids. I wonder if she has any friends. And when she does make a public statement for her craziness, it's always through her lawyer/s. She needs the Lord to heal her and she needs to find self worth in herself and not in fame, clothes, jewelry, etc.

BEYONCE SWAGGER JACKING CIARA ALREADY: YOU BEYONCE FANS ARE TRUELY STUPID.JUST WOW AT SOME OF YALL. KEEP THINKING CIARA IS A FLOP AND NOT HOT IN EUROPE. AS A MATTER OF FACT KEEP BRAGGING ABOUT BEYONCE CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN. SO KEEP SAYING CIARA ISN’T TALENTED EVEN THOUGH THE INDUSTRY HAS ALREADY CALLED HER THIS GENERATION JANET. KEEP HATING CAUSE WHEN KARMA BITES YOU HATERS IN THE ASS I WILL BE LAUGHING. calling somebody the new janet. doesn´t mean she´s going to live up the expectations. because she´s far far from my favorite female performer miss Janet. here are the facts ciara latest album is a huge flop. in america and a bigger flop around the whole world. and i dont think her dancing is that good either, infact it stinkss

Ciara doesn´t have any clue, poor girl.

I'm mad that TMZ has so much to say about Nas and Kelis on a dily basis when it comes to something negative. But when they are doing something good, they're no existant on a TMZ post. Same for the Urshmeka situation. Harvey and his 2 tokens (dread lock boy and the ghetto chick that wears the fitteds) all need more people!!

Kelis is starting to piss me

Kelis is starting to piss me off. She's really showing her true colors. I know that divorce is hard and yes Nas may have cheated but, keep what you came in the marriage with--your dignity and self respect. Don't stop airing the dirty laundry of the marriage cause that ish isn't cute. She needs to be focusing on raising her unborn child which is her first. She is just making herself look the common hoodrat. And don't tell me that she can't keep this ish a secret because Bey and Jay dated for like 3 years b/f anyone even knew. Surely, you can keep your divorce matters private. Bey looks fire as usual. I think this video is going to be a hot one.

Speaking of the yawn

Speaking of the yawn tour............... Well, even though tickets for this July concert have been on sale for over 3 months (including some priced as low as $20) less then 10% of the tickets have been sold. Even the ticket brokers (who usually buy up hundreds... sometimes even a thousand) aren't buying her tickets because they got stuck with them from her concert 2 years ago. The Venue is tripling the amount of Promo Tickets given away to local Radio and TV stations in an effort to get bodies in the seats. The situation was so serious that 5 weeks out from the concert, the venue was at the point where they contact tour management and discuss the possibility of postponement or cancellation of the concert due to poor ticket sales. Then something interesting happened, even though the Box Office and TicketMaster have gone days and even a week without selling 1 ticket to this concert... suddenly someone steps forward and buys several thousand of these tickets in one swoop (and it wasn't a ticket broker). Word around the venue is that it was someone from Bey's camp doing damage control (an effort to prevent the 'low ticket sales' or 'playing to an empty house' tags from being attached to their superstar). But here's the problem, if they are planning on handing them out in the city... the stadium is 30 miles out in the suburbs with no bus service to the venue, so they are going to have to make sure that those that have been given tickets have transportation to the venue or the plan will backfire. It's going to be interesting to see if she plays to a full house or a nearly empty one. This could get very expensive if they have to do this all along this tour.

Okay I'm a Kelis fan from way

Okay I'm a Kelis fan from way back (highschool years) and I can't even believe she's demanding this much money. I HIGHLY doubt she will be awarded all of that. Plus she should have thought of her expenses BEFORE she filed divorce (maybe saved a nest egg or something)..... And Beyonce is KILLING it with the videos! Sweet Dreams is one of my favorite songs from the Sasha Fierce album. Me and my big sis crank it up constantly, and I'm loving Beyonce and the two chicks dancing in every video. It's starting to become her signature look I see....(yall know Tina Turner has been doing that for years in her concerts so I see Mrs Beyonce has been taking notes, lol!)

A friend of mine told me she read somewhere that it's RARELY about love...or even $$$/jewels but the NAME of these men that they covet so much! The damn name!
