Child Support

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

This first breaking story is that conspiracy theory nut job and failed presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr had an extramarital affair with a reporter from New York Magazine. We just heard that his wife, Cheryl Hines has had enough and is getting ready to announce her separation from her wacky husband. As my source put it, it was bad enough Cheryl had to defend his crazy vaccine conspiracy theories and his ridiculous presidential campaign, but for her to stand by him through all of that and then to find out he CHEATED on her was the final straw. She’s lawyering up as you read this.

In a sad bit of news this week, celebrity hair extension guru, Priscilla Valles saw her husband Miguel fighting for his life in the ICU after being shot in front of his Bel-Air home in a botched attempted robbery. (the thieves were after his $50,000 gold Rolex) According to my source, Priscilla’s celebrity clients including the Kardashians, Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera and they are all chipping in to cover the out of pocket costs at UCLA Hospital where Miguel is facing a long road to recovery. My source estimates the hospital bill alone will reach well into the millions of dollars so whatever insurance doesn’t cover, her celebrity clients will.

Britney Spears made the news when she revealed she would continue to pay her ex husband, Kevin Federline, child support even though their youngest son Jayden turned 18-years-old. Although not legally obligated, Britney decided it was the right thing to do. Here’s what we heard. Britney is secretly planning a musical comeback and although she’s not keen on performing, she’s been working in the studio on some tracks for an upcoming album. Good idea to keep the money flowing now that she’s agreed to continue to support her grown sons.

Kamala Harris made headlines for her continued popularity and strong polling against Donald Trump. We heard that Kamala doesn’t want to jinx anything however, and although she’s not superstitious, she’s still isn’t taking any chances. Designers have been clamoring to dress her for the inauguration – as more and more people believe she will defeat Trump and his extremism – but Kamala has refused to even entertain the idea of meeting with any designers for measurements. (remember couture gowns can take months and months to design, source the fabric, sew and fit) Kamala is telling her people that she won’t even consider the idea of LOOKING at dress sketches until the final vote is counted! (one more reason to like her)

Finally, the biggest news of the week was Sean Diddy Combs’ arrest on federal charges for sex trafficking, among other things. Denied bail and on suicide watch, we just heard that the disgraced rapper is likely to be sent to a mental health hospital and strapped to a bed because he is quickly deteriorating behind bars in the gang ridden jail. My well placed source says that despite his tough guy image, Diddy never expected he would be denied bail and never fathomed he would be locked up, so he’s quickly becoming the definition of a hot mess. He’s likely to be transferred to a mental facility within days, as it seems he’s lost touch with reality and is blabbering incoherently…

NICK CANNON’S FIVE FRANTIC WOMEN

No sooner had Nick Cannon finished his sold out performance at Madison Square Garden in New York, than he checked into the hospital. Besides suffering from Lupus-related kidney disease, Nick has pneumonia. We imagine that at least five of his baby-mamas are EXTREMELY worried. Nick has eleven kids and one on the way, with six different women. His ex-wife Mariah Carey has no financial worries, but Nick spends well over 3 million a year on child support for all his kids. If he can’t work, these women will be stuck paying the bills, and they WON’T be happy! Can you imagine?

THE PARTY’S OVER FOR CHARLIE SHEEN’S EX-WIVES

Certainly they endured a LOT when they were married, but Charlie Sheen’s two ex-wives Brooke Mueller and Denise Richards have been living large for years on his child support payments. Brooke comes from a wealthy family so her $55,000 a month went a long way, but Denise had to manage on $25,000 a month. When Charlie’s finances took a dive, Denise voluntarily cut back to $20,000. Charlie’s financial crisis worsened and now he says he owes millions to lawyers, the IRS, and mortgages, and he’s going to court to drastically cut child support payments. Smart Denise took a lucrative job on Real Housewives because she wants to keep her two horses and owes the stable caring for them a lot of money. Time to cut back or get a job!

KATIE HOLMES DOESN’T MIND GIVING UP HER POSH LIFESTYLE FOR GLORIOUS FREEDOM

#katieholmes #janetcharlton

The extent to which Katie Holmes was DESPERATE to get a divorce is apparent in the numbers. Without a second thought about Tom Cruise’s 250 million dollar fortune, Katie gave up her “private jet” lifestyle to save her daughter and herself from the clutches of Scientology. Katie simply accepted whatever Tom was willing to pay to support their daughter Suri and she got no cash payout OR spousal support. All she asked for was control over her daughter’s education. This is a woman who was not into her marriage for the money. By the time Suri turns 18, Tom will have spent around $400,000 for support plus medical and dental, etc. for Suri. Katie walked away with nothing for herself. Ant Tom is pretending everything’s just fine because that’s what Scientology tells him to do.

IT IS UNUSUAL: TOM JONES DOESN’T WANT TO MEET HIS GROWN-UP LOVE CHILD

How does Tom Jones contain his curiosity? In 1987 he had a fling with a model in the US named Katherine Berkery and the result was a baby boy named Jonathan Jones. Tom agreed to support the child but he never wanted to see him. Now little Jonathan has grown up – he’s 23 and a model and singer. He’s also desperate to meet his father – even just once. He’s publicly pleading for a meeting, but so far Tom is not interested.

JERMAINE JACKSON SAYS HE CAN’T AFFORD TO SUPPORT HIS KIDS

Deadbeat dad Jermaine Jackson struts around like a very prosperous guy in public, but privately he seems to be quite a cheapskate. He’s $100,000 behind on child support for his tragically named sons Jermagesty and Jaafar, and as a result has lost his driver’s license. He’s appealing to a judge to reduce his monthly payments from $3000 to $215 a month. Jermaine has seven children with three women. (Apparently his Muslim faith has no rules about that.) Odd that Jermaine didn’t appear to be broke on his reality show “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.” Critics pointed out that the brothers were “stiff and lacked personality” and there are no plans for further episodes. It’s time for Jermaine to stop bragging about all the specials and tributes and tours he’s “planning,” and get to work.

BOBBY BROWN HAS TOO MANY KIDS

Since Whitney Houston hasn’t been doing to well lately, we started wondering about what her ex Bobby Brown is up to. On Saturday he performed at a concert for a radio station in Atlanta with his group Heads of State. The other “heads” are Johnny Gill (Eddie Murphy’s longtime roommate) and Ralph Tresvant. Surprisingly, Mo’nique popped up in the audience, cheering Bobby on. Bobby needs the money. His baby mama Kim Ward hauled him back into court for unpaid child support. LaPrincia, 20, and Bobby Jr, 19, have college expenses! Through the years Bobby has been in and out of court and jail for late child support payments. So what did he do about it? He had another child with his current fiancee Alicia Etheridge.

DENISE RICHARDS: SILENCE IS GOLDEN

Charlie Sheen’s exwife Denise Richards has an ear to ear grin because now the whole world knows she was RIGHT. Early on, Denise didn’t want her two daughters spending time in the home of their dad Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke. She kept her reasons for those reservations to herself. But she DID appear to be an unreasonable exwife. Denise wants her daughters to have a relationship with their step brothers (Charlie’s twins) so eventually she did allow supervised visits. It looks like Denise knew what was going on in the Sheen house all along and didn’t want to be the whistle-blower. She must be getting a lot of child support because she’s kept her mouth shut through all of this.

EDDIE MURPHY AND MELANIE BROWN: WHO'S DEVIOUS?

article-1138923-eddie mel.jpg
Eddie Murphy will be paying Spice Girl Melanie Brown over $40,000 a month for child support for their daughter Angel until she turns 18. You will recall that Eddie and Mel had dated a short time when she announced she was pregnant with his child. Eddie was outraged and felt cheated and manipulated- he demanded a DNA test. The baby proved to be his and they’ve been fighting over money ever since. Eddie and Mel are equally unsympathetic characters. Maybe she did trap him, but he COULD have used a condom. Certainly Mel’s unemployed husband Stephen “Belafonte” will be delighted with this news.
