MINI ROUNDUP: NAS CONFIRMS KELIS’ PREGNANCY / EDDIE ORDERED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT

nasconf.gif Nas confirmed to MTV news on Sunday at the Grammy Awards, that he and Kelis are expecting a child and they will find out the sex of the baby soon:

“Yeah, man, I find out what it’s gonna be next week, so I’m happy,” said the rapper, who has a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. “I got another one coming in ’09, yeah! That’s what’s up!”

The news first broke out on US Weekly’s website last month that Kelis was currently in her first trimester. The two also celebrated their wedding anniversary in January.

EDDIE ORDERED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT

eddiechild.gif Eddie Murphy has agreed to pay out $51,000 a month in child support to his former girlfriend Melanie Brown and their child together:

British tabloid the News of the World has revealed that Dr. Doolittle star Murphy has agreed to a support package totaling more than $10 million, following a 15 month court battle in Los Angeles.

Murphy sparked a war of words with Brown following their break-up when he suggested it was possible he wasn’t the father of the baby. He subsequently took a DNA test which determined daughter Angel Iris – born on Murphy’s birthday, April 3rd 2007 – was in fact his. SOURCE

It was reported last week that Eddie was not granted custody of the child but, will have visitation rights.
