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 $$$.

46. She needs get off her lazy butt and get a job it isn't his job to pay for every single little thing she wants. Seriously she isn't all that not even close. No way she should get child support and that's it! She deserves nothing more.

47. I love how some women are strong and independent until it comes time to not live off of a man. Just because she was carrying on on Twitter about cheating doesn't mean he cheated. As a matter of fact, if he's smart, he'll get a paternity test. When her last album came out, she was "Bossy" but now she's helpless. Should Nas pay child support? Hell yes. Should he pay an able bodied woman in her 20's who is perfectly capable of getting off her ass and working alimony? Hell no. Since her milkshake is so popular, maybe she needs to raise the price.

51. if she's not working, wtf does she need a nanny for? raise your child yourself, you selfish spoiled b*tch.

52. You know what? This is Nas' fault. Apparently they lived a very extravegant lifestyle on his dime. He turned her into a spoiled brat. What the hell is she doing paying a nanny when she doesn't have any children yet? I hope that is a projected expense. She spends more on entertainment than she spends on her mortgage, both of which are horribly expensive. She can live in a very lovely home in an upper middle class neighborhood on 5k a month. With a child on the way she needs to chill out on all that "entertainment" anyway. I guess that's where the nanny comes in. Does she plan to have any involvement in the raising of this child that she seems to have created either to hold onto her husband or hold onto some of his money? No matter how you slice it both of them will be forced to live a middle class lifestyle anyway in 5-10 years as Nas' career is in the final stages and Kelis' never really took off to begin with. It's apparent saving is not a priority for them so they won't have anything left for the future and will have to continue to work for less and less money as time goes on. Both of them are idiots. I hope the child does get a fantastic nanny or he/she will be doomed with these idiots.

53. These people are PATHETIC! $80,000 a month for expenses?? Most working class people don't even make that in a year or some in two years! She needs to get off her HIGH horse and learn to live like the rest of the world. THROW THE BABY RUG IN THE WASHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND SAVE THE $175!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

54. And this is the world of marraige that gay right's activists want to get in. Welcome to the club.

55. What a freakin whore. I understand being and wanting some more cash; but the entertainment and nanny expenses are out of control, the baby hasn't even been delivered. She knew that the marriage was done when that "reality" show didn't go through due to their almost split! She is a lesbo whore who wanted to trap Nas Escobar... Now, I think that Nas should just go pop and fly over to Foxy's side! She would have never done him dirty like Kelisbitch! Her milkshake brings all the whores to the yard!

As Tiffany, New York said it best, "yup, I said it!" LOL

56. and remember when she was trying to pay for a stripper in New Orleans, this scank WHORE!

57. Hey, he should pay baby costs, nanny, food, clothing, dr bills, etc. I agree with her on that, but the $15,000 month for entertainment??? that sounds a bit much; however if there was no pre-nup, she is entitled to more $$$ from Nas.
