PRODUCER TIMBERLAND WIFE FILES FOR DIVORCE

Sad news to report, Timbaland's wife has filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned ... and she's not only demanding that he foot the bill for their kid, she wants him to pay for a kid he didn't even father.

Monique Mosley says in her divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- that although she and Timbaland have been married for 5 years, they've been a couple for twice that time.  In addition to their 5-year-old daughter, Monique has a 10-year-old from another relationship.

So why, you ask, is she asking for child support for both kids?  Monique says Timbaland is the daddy by default, since he's "publicly and privately proclaimed this child as his own."

But that's not all.  Monique wants alimony, life insurance, private school, vacations, summer camp and other expenses.  She says she's so strapped for cash, she had to borrow money from a friend to pay her lawyer.  She wants Timbaland -- who's worth around $80 mil -- to foot the lawyer's bill.

One more thing.  She wants to get Timbaland coming and going.  In the alimony department, she says she wants money while divorce proceedings are pending, she wants a lump sum, she wants "rehabilitative alimony," and permanent alimony.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN GET'S CLOSE TO RAPPER GAME AS HE CELEBRATES HIS NEW CASH MONEY RECORD DEAL

Hmmm?  I know a picture says a thousand words and yes she's flashing her wedding ring...but still?  Khloe Kardashian is still wearing her wedding ring, but the hand it's on was all over rapper The Game at L.A. nightclub Roxbury on Friday night.

The duo rolled up to The Supreme Team’s Friday Night Rox event together, where they drank Coconut Ciroc vodka all night, according to reports. Kardashian happily posed for pics with her arm slung around The Game’s shoulders and her hand placed on his chest. She also stole his pale blue snap-back baseball hat at one point, and wore it briefly around the club.

Despite the fact that The Game and Kardashian have been attached at the hip in recent weeks, partying at Tru nightclub and Pinz bowling alley together, the rapper insists that he’s not her rebound as she prepares to split from troubled Lamar Odom.

“Khloe is my friend,” he’s said. “She is like a sister. We have never [slept together] and will never be sleeping together.”

 In other Game news, looks like the newest member of Cash Money is L.A.’s, The Game. Birdman tweeted,

WHO WORE IT FIERCE? KIM KARDASHIAN OR JENNIFER HUDSON?

You be the judge, Wardrobe wars: Kim Kardashian (L) and Jennifer Hudson wore the same dress in different ways on Friday.

The reality star, 32, revealed her extremely ample cleavage thanks to the dress’s very low-cut.
She wore it with beige court shoes to elongate her legs as she stands at a petite 5ft 3in, and further accessorised with just a black miniature clutch bag.  Kim was spotted visiting her family’s DASH boutique in West Hollywood before a night out at the LA opera with her boyfriend Kanye West.


Jennifer is also a curvy star but the Weight Watchers spokeswoman covered up her body as much as she could in the clingy dress. The singer and actress appeared to have pinned the frock’s neckline, as well as its hemline as she showed very little leg while Kim’s pins were on fully display.

While Kim was in California, Jennifer was in her hometown in Illinois at the Chicago International Film Festival for its premiere of her film The Inevitable Defeat Of Mister And Pete.

In our opinion the awards go to Kim Kardashian "you better werk bitch"

VIDEO; JA RULE TALKS PRISON, DRUGS IN MUSIC, & NEW MOVIE ON ‘WENDY’

Good to be free, Fresh out the pen, Ja Rule sat down with his old pal Wendy Williams for his first daytime interview since his two-year prison stint. The 37-year-old rapper opened up about why he went to jail, how he spent his time behind bars (getting his GED, domestic work), and how his fellow prisoners reacted to him.

“When I got there, people actually had a lot of admiration for me, a lot of love for me. It was a really different experience,” he said.

Wendy also asked what he thought of artists such as Miley Cyrus glorifying drugs in their music. “We as artists, we have the right to express ourselves,” said Rule, who is now drug free. “I also believe that we have the obligation to the youth to be somewhat responsible in what we say on records.”

Rule stars alongside Adrienne Bailon in the Christian drama I’m in Love with a Church Girl, which hits theaters on Friday.

KIIM ZOLCIAK WINS LAWSUIT AGAINST RHOA KANDI BURRUSS "DON'T BE TARDY FOR THE PARTY" SONG

Drama finally over? Five months after Kandi Burress sued her Real Housewives of Atlanta costar Kim Zolciak for making a profit off Zolciak's 2009 dance single "Tardy for the Party", Zolciak has come out on top in court, TMZ reports.

A judge has officially ruled in Zolciak's favor as she responded with her own legal documents, claiming Burress, 37, used the lawsuit as a publicity stunt to promote her now-canceled show The Kandi Factory.

Zolciak previously asked Burress for help to rework her track "Tardy for the Party" into a dance song. It later reached number 20 on iTunes Top 200. Burress is a Grammy-winning singer songwroter that's behind hits like TLC's "No Scrubs" and Destiny Child's "Bills Bills Bills."

 In March 2012, Burruss filed that the mother of four released and sold her song "without [the] plaintiff's authorization, license or agreement." Alongside her rep -- fellow RHOA star Phaedra Parks -- Burress also asked for a temporary restraining order issue to prevent sales of the track.

"I hardly got anything from Tardy for the Party. That is the truth," Burruss wrote in an October 2010 blog post. "I am not mad about it. I really blame myself because I didn't handle my business correctly."

In response, Zolciak, 35, defended releasing the song. "Kandi tried to pull the song down in December on iTunes but after I showed documents and proved points, the song was immediately put back up," she wrote via Twitter.

It appears her lawsuit is also "Tardy for the party", we couldn't resist.  And what did she think having Phadera for an attorney...laughable.
