Jamelia is getting un-hitched
Nov 4, 2009 Jamelia
It seems the singer and football player Darren Byfield are no longer in the “happy couple” zone as Jamelia has decided to move out of the home they’ve lived together in. A friend said the following about Jamelia’s decision: “Their relationship has been through lots of ups and downs. Jamelia took him back after he was accused of straying but the last year has been tough. Jamelia decided to leave this week and there is no going back this time. They are both devastated, but have vowed to remain on civil terms for Tiani.” That’s right, do it for the kids! Whatever happened to that “till death do us part” stuff… or doesn’t anybody even say that anymore?

Rap star Nas in court bid to block alimony payments to Kelis
US rapper Nas has asked the judge in his divorce case to block his estranged wife Kelis from getting spousal support.
In papers, filed by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, Nas also requests joint custody of their two-month-old son Knight.
Kelis has asked for $72,728 a month in spousal support.
The singer, 30, married Nas, 36, in 2005. But she filed for divorce five months ago, citing irreconcilable differences.
Their son Knight was born in July and the hip-hop star proudly announced the birth in an online video.

Nas Faces Tax Lien
Kelis isn’t the only person trying to get her hands inside Nas’ wallet as it turns out that Uncle Sam is after the rapper too! A federal tax lien was filed last month against Nas for a whopping $2,584,206.31! It looks like he failed to pay his taxes from way back in 2006 and 2007. The rapper is still currently involved in a bitter divorce battle with his estranged wife, singer Kelis. But with that tax lien, it looks like she is going to have to wait in line to get her money. At the rate he’s going, Nas will be broke before we get to ring in 2010.

Usher’s Ironic New Song
Oct 9, 2009 Usher
Although Usher just released his new single ‘Papers’ which chronicles his divorce from Tameka Foster, he’s not too quick to sign the real papers. The singer has delayed signing the final documents he filed in an Atlanta court, thereby holding up their divorce process. The lyrics to the song go “I done near lost my mama/ I done been through so much drama / I done turned into the man that I never thought I’d be / I’m ready to sign those papers!” A source said “Tameka thinks that it’s ironic that ‘Papers’ is his comeback single when she just wants him to sign the paperwork and finalize the divorce. The terms and conditions have been agreed on for around a month but he keeps stalling on them and she’s the one that wants to move on with her life.”
Nas and Kelis Divorce Still On
Earlier this month, pictures of rapper Nas and singer Kelis popped up and made people think that the couple had reconciled and the divorce was thrown out of the window. It’s too bad that all those thoughts weren’t true. It seems that the couple was just playing nice for the camera because Kelis still wants their November 20th divorce hearing to proceed. I guess Nas will be paying a pretty penny for that kid after all. But if they could cease fire for the camera, why couldn’t they talk things out for their kid? The kid is the one that has to suffer through all of this anyway.
Singer Sinitta starts formal divorce proceedings
Jul 6, 2009 American Idol, Simon Cowell
Eighties pop singer Sinitta has confirmed that she is going through a divorce with her husband Andy, after they separated last year.
Sinitta, 42, revealed in November 2008 that she had split from her husband Andy Willner, 49, after he moved to Hong Kong six months earlier.
The couple have two adopted children, and she has now revealed they are starting divorce proceedings.
“It was never meant to end like this, but sometimes somebody does something and it disturbs you so much there is no option but to end it,” she said.
“It isn’t in either of us to be hostile or bitter. We were really happy for many years and when it was working, I loved being married,” she added.
Sinitta was American Idol star Simon Cowell’s on-off girlfriend for almost 20 years before she married Willner, and admitted the pop mogul has been there for her following her marriage split.
“He [Simon] has been amazing,” she said. “But I’m not surprised by that because we’ve known each other for so many years, and he always knows the right thing to say.”

Usher Divorce Getting Nasty
Jun 22, 2009 Usher
Usher is demanding every document that his soon-to-be ex-wife Tameka Foster collected during their 11-month marriage. While most of us thought they were married for 2 years, legal documents say that the couple has been separated since July 2008. Usher is asking for a list of “tax files, paycheck stubs, bank account information and other financial records, insurance policies, real-estate rental agreements, medical records and automobile registrations” plus loads more from Tameka. The R&B singer thought that Tameka hired a private investigator as he is also demanding “notes, cards, letters, photographs, film, documents, tapes, voice recordings, gift, jewelry, clothes… detective reports, photos or recordings that have resulted from either ’surveillance or investigation’” from her. Their divorce is getting nasty. It’s a good thing both parties requested joint custody of their sons.
Kelis requests funds from Nas
The singer who recently filled for divorce from rapper Nas is now demanding money from her soon to be ex-husband in order to cover child expenses and also stem cell storage. Kelis said the following about her demands for money from Nas: “I do not have funds to maintain our marital lifestyle or pay for our unborn child’s expenses, around $80,000 a month. My survival is based on Nas’ will at this time.” And of course we all know that stem cell storage is crucial to any family welcoming a baby in their midst. What kind of a musician is Kelis anyway if she still has to rely on Nas for financial support… or does she just want to milk the cow as much as possible while it’s still in season?
Nas’ infidelity toward Kelis
The singer recently wrote on her twitter account about how her husband, Nas, apparently cheated on her. Kelis wrote the following: “This lovely day I would like to touch on cheaters. Super brief! Why be cowardly, why not go after what you really want? Do people know what they want? Probably not which goes into know and respecting ones self. Also we can discuss wusses I mean the nasty sub par tricks that participate in cheating. Well let me say this, both parties that are gross. And reality they deserve each other. All the scum bag coward husbands and less than impressive sluts unite! You can all go down in flames together! Hooray!” It seems Kelis filled for divorce from Nas in April, even though she’s eight months pregnant with his child. Does that mean there won’t be any more prizes in the baby-naming contest? How sad…
Nas Doesn’t Want to Pay Up
It looks like things are about to get ugly in the divorce going on between Nas and Kelis. Kelis recently filed for divorce and she’s already seven months pregnant with their first child. However, Nas, one of the most affluent rappers in the world, has filed a request with their divorce judge to deny his soon-to-be ex-wife the spousal support she is asking for and to pay for her own lawyer’s fees. He is asking for joint custody of their unborn child though. You wish dude. If you can’t even support the mother of your child, how can you take care of the baby?
