Celebrity Justice
Kelis Is Cash Poor

Kelis has just filed her financials with the court, making her case to get support and baby expenses from estranged hubby Nas.

Kelis says from 11/08 to 4/09, her average monthly income was $21,616. Hardly poor, but way less than what she and Nas were pulling in while she was with him.

Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has some pretty hefty expenses -- $80,831 a month ... way more than she says she makes.

Kelis says she hasn't toured in a year and most of her income comes from her concerts.

Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny costs $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations -- not too shabby. And she says it cost $175 to have the "baby rug dry cleaned."

And there's this ... Kelis says she wants to buy "storage to bank the baby's blood when he is born. The banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in the baby's umbilical cord." It's used to treat 70 life-threatening diseases. It all costs $$$.

16. I don't understand why these "stars" need all this crap. What would she do if he went bankrupt tomorrow, she would continue to exist and would have to make it on 21,000 a month. Oh please that is more than some people make in a year. Why is it necessary to have a nanny if you don't work? People like her make me sick, the way things are going in this country right now she should be happy with what she has. Someone said it earlier UNGRATEFUL BITCH.

17. You know what... I am sure that she wasn't born with money coming out of her a$$... $21,616 is more then some people make in a year!! I DO NOT feel sorry for her!! There are some mothers and fathers wondering and crying because they don't know how they are going to feed their kids and they work their a$$ off to make the little that they have. She is worrying about having $15,000 for entertainmet ect...... Take your a$$ to the freaken movies and get your head out of your A$$!! Better yet go to the drive in... its cheaper!!! Thats why there are so many ungreatfull, spoiled, overweight, snobby, stuck up children and teenagers in this god forsaken world!! Like my mamma said "I had to work for my money, so do you!! Go clean your room and then ask me!!" Money does NOT grow on trees. Teach the value of life and money bit@h!!!!!

18. Kelis is as tired as her horrible hairstyles. Nas was an idiot to marry her, get a tattoo of her on his arm and to even think that, for some dumb reason, he could turn a you-know-what into a housewife. Kelis is the reason why so many men RUN when they hear the words "marriage" and "long-term commitment." If she can't afford to sustain herself on $21,000 per month, especially in a recession, she needs to go out and either perform, write songs and get publishing money, produce -- do something other than attempt to bleed Nas' pockets dry. They haven't been married but MAYBE 3 years? She's ridiculous.

19. $21000 a month??? my hubby is in the military and i stay at home and we make about $16000 a year!! i would love to see her live on that! (and for those who dont understand military stuff, we get $1000/month for housing but that is completely gone when it comes in and we dont qualify for any kind of help from the govt.)

23. Why doesn't she call the White House and ask Obama for money. She is black and entitled to what ever she wants based on all of the policies and actions our disgrace of a president has made since taking office to favor and provide 100 percent financial support for the black race.

24. Tell Nas to do the right thing and show her the money!

25. It amazes me how some people's appetite for somebody else s money is insatiable. She makes more money then a vast amount of Americans yet she still thinks she should get more? Is that a joke?

Why is it that some of you believe that HER responsibility to her child should be subsidized? It takes two to make a baby, but apparently it only takes one who makes more to pay for raising that baby.

Like I said, she makes a helleva lot more money than most Americans which is plenty to raise a child on. She needs to be responsible for her own child and bear the cost of child rearing. Come on!

26. If she's unemployed she has no need for a nanny and has no business taking vacations.
