Stevie Wonder has one simple request for his 62nd birthday -- to be a TMZ camera guy -- and after weighing the pros and cons ... we're this close to granting his wish!

A man claiming to be Stevie Wonder's nephew has been charged with attempting to extort the singer by threatening to go to the tabloids and say he's the product of an incestuous relationship between Stevie and Stevie's sister --- UNLESS the singer coughed up big bucks.

Alpha Lorenzo Walker was arrested May 2 after being trapped in a sting operation.  Law enforcement sources tell us Walker initially demanded $5 million from Stevie but was shut down and eventually lowered his demand to $10,000.

Our sources say undercover cops met Walker, claiming to be Stevie's reps who had the cash, but demanded that he first sign a document which included a statement that his accusations were false.  Walker signed, and he was promptly arrested.

Our sources say the incest allegation is completely bogus.

Walker has been charged with felony extortion, along with his girlfriend.  He has pled not guilty.  Walker is currently in custody.

Stevie Wonder says Steve Jobs' vision has compensated for the absence of vision on the part of thousands of blind people everywhere.

During a concert in L.A., Wonder said certain things Jobs' created have transformed his life.

Everyone on the planet knows the words to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" ... everyone except our photog, who butchered the words right to Stevie's face yesterday -- so Stevie FIRED HIS ASS on the spot!!

Ya gotta watch the clip -- it's so humiliatingly HILARIOUS.

The only way "Sweet Caroline" could be any sweeter is if the great Stevie Wonder was singing it --  and this week at LAX, Stevie made it happen.  BAH! BAH! BAH!

Michael Jackson had some unexpected company drop by this weekend -- a surprise visit from his close friend Stevie Wonder.



TMZ has confirmed that the singer and three of his children stopped by Michael's tomb at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, CA this weekend to pay their respects.

According to Stevie's rep, Wonder and his kids had gone to the cemetery to visit Stevie's dearly departed mother -- but Stevie's children insisted they visit MJ too.

Wonder and MJ were famously close -- and at MJ's memorial last year, Stevie told the crowd he often let Michael know how much he loved him ... and was "at peace with that."

We've learned Stevie Wonder's son, Keita Morris, was popped by LAPD early Monday morning on charges of felony domestic violence.

Law enforcement sources tell us they received a call about a verbal argument between Morris and an unidentified woman -- and that the argument turned physical. We're told when cops arrived they noticed marks on the woman and took Morris into custody.

He was held on $50,000 bond, which he posted later Monday morning.

Morris is Wonder's son from former girlfriend Yolanda Simmons.

LAPD came to Stevie Wonder's house Monday afternoon after one of the singer's cousins showed up with a refrigerator.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ there has been an ongoing dispute between Stevie and his relative. Cops were called last Friday after the cuz showed up. The police told the cousin to leave and not to come back.

But Monday the cousin showed up again at Stevie's San Fernando Valley home, this time with a fridge and other personal items. He unloaded his stuff onto Stevie's property -- that's when security called the LAPD. Cops showed up but Stevie, who was not there at the time, called in and asked the police to leave. Stevie said it was a "family matter."

When cops left, Stevie's cousin had entered the guest house and was holed up there.

It sounded like Stevie Wonder was tryin' to back out of a challenge he made to TMZ -- that he'd put on a benefit concert if we ran a piece about homeless people on our show.

But after all the double talk outside of Prego in Beverly Hills last night, it kinda sounded like he committed...

Stevie Wonder had a bizarre proposition for TMZ -- shoot video of homeless people for him and, in turn, he'll do a benefit concert for charity.

It's not quite "us." Hasn't he ever seen what we do here?

We didn't ask him anything about the election, but it was clear to see Stevie only had one guy on his mind.
