It's cheaper to keep her

If you follow urban entertainment, you know that Nas and Kelis have been in and out of court over child support payments. Nas, who is said to make $152,031 a month, has been ordered to pay Kelis $44,000 a month in child support. Recently, Nas fell behind on his payments and was ordered to pay Kelis $300,000 in back child support. In addition, Nas has been asked to pay Kelis $10,000 in spousal support. It really takes $54,000 a month to support yourself and a child? That's someone's yearly salary and I know people who do it successfully on about $51,000 less. I'm just saying.

Anyway, Nas is asking the judge in his divorce case to review his income. He states that he makes far less than the 100 + thou that the original decision was based on.
Nas’ attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, says he would like the judge to reexamine the damage that could be done to the rapper’s finances.
Nas and Kelis tied the knot in 2005. Kelis filed for divorce in April 2009, and gave birth to the couple’s first child — a son named Knight — last July.

I don't know what to tell you Nas, better get another job or a better lawyer, better yet, Tyrese' lawyer.

I agree....

I know this is supposed to be an entertainment blog but when I saw this story on Msn.com, I had to agree. Yesterday, a grandmother was arrested after slapping her teenage granddaughter who cursed at her. The 73 year old woman spent more than a day in jail and will not be facing any charges. I wonder if they were black I wish I would curse at my grandmother, she would slap the life out of me. That is something that is not done. You may feel some kind of way about your grandmother but you don't show it. Some people are saying that this is too much, but I agree with discipline. In this society, there is none and children are running wild. I remember Latarian Milton's grandmother being on the news saying that she would beat him if she wouldn't get arrested-he later beat her up in Wal-mart over some chicken wings. I'm not saying spanking is the only form of discipline but at least discipline your children. If your kids are beating you up in Wal-mart, there is a problem.

It was only a matter of time

Have you heard the adage that if we're not careful, we'll look up one day and segregation will be reinstated? Well, Wake County, North Carolina, has voted 5-4 to end busing for diversity which has been in place since the early 70's. The long term effects of ending busing has yet to be seen but there are mixed feelings on the vote. In my opinion, I kind of agree with the board because if it's been 40 years and they still have to bus students to other districts for diversity, then it's not working. I just hope we don't revert back to segregation. Although we have a black president, he can still be impeached, so don't rest on this post racial idea.
