Lakers Star Steve Nash In Dogfight Over Child Support

L.A. Lakers star Steve Nash thinks he has a good reason NOT to pay child support -- if he does, he thinks his ex-wife will spoil the kids with limos and other luxuries.

Nash is locked in a legal war with Alejandra Nash over their 3 kids. She currently lives in Arizona, where a judge handled their divorce and ruled she was not entitled to child support. She's appealing the ruling and we now know what they're arguing over.

Steve convinced the divorce judge -- Alejandra doesn't need child support because he made her a millionaire 5 times over in the divorce settlement. On top of that, she pulls in more than $30k a month.

For her part, Alejandra says Steve makes a million bucks more than her every month, and it's unfair he's not forced to use some of it for the benefit of their kids.

Steve is saying he's paying plenty -- 90% of medical, school and extracurricular activities, and 82% of the nanny's $2k a month salary. He says he's worried if he pays more, she's an excessive spender who will spoil and damage the kids with crazy luxuries.

But there's more going on here. As we previously reported ... Alejandra wants to move to L.A. but Steve is objecting. It's really weird, because the b-baller has said he chose to go to the Lakers rather than the Knicks so he could be closer to his kids.

There's one thing for sure ... if Alejandra moved to L.A., Steve would probably get socked with a big child support bill -- that's just the way it works in California.

Rapper Future Settles Baby Mama Beef ... I AM the Father!

Rapper Future can call himself a rapper and a parent ... AT THE SAME DAMN TIME ... 'cause he just took a DNA test proving he's the father of a 10-year-old son ... TMZ has learned.

Future -- aka Nayvadius Cash -- was sued last year by Jessica Smith -- who claimed the rapper knocked her up in 2001 ... but should be ordered to pay her child support.

According to court docs filed in Georgia, the 29-year-old rapper took a DNA test -- which confirmed with 99.9% certainty the kid was his.

In light of the results, Future and his baby mama struck a deal ... he agreed to be legally recognized as the father, fork over $1,662 in child support per month and pay for the cost of the DNA test ($889).

The judge signed off on it, and the case was closed earlier this month.

FUN FACT: In the docs Future lists his monthly income as $16,516.30.

FUNNER FACT: At the beginning of Future's hit song, "Same Damn Time" ... Diddy insults all of his haters by calling them out on their inability to "multitask." How fun is that?!

Michael Lohan YOU ARE THE FATHER!!! DNA Confirms Teen Lovechild

THE DNA TEST IS IN -- Michael Lohan fathered an illegitimate lovechild back in 1995 behind Dina Lohan's back ... and Michael's reaction to the shocking paternity reveal was all caught on tape.

Michael agreed to submit to a DNA test for an episode of "Trisha Goddard" -- where he comes face-to-face for the first time with the 17-year-old girl who claimed to be his daughter -- and the results came back POSITIVE.

The girl's mother -- Kristi Horn -- has claimed Michael was the father for years, and has even tried multiple times to get him to pay child support ... but Michael adamantly denied the allegations.

The reveal -- which airs tonight -- is cringeworthy ... Michael can't believe the news ... and the girl's mother immediately bursts into tears.

After, Michael gets up to hug his newfound daughter (Ashley) and she resists, shouting, "No! No! No!" while Michael pleads, "I just want to hug you."

FYI ... Michael's two youngest children with Dina -- Ali and Cody -- were born in 1993 and 1996 respectively. Which means Ashley was conceived somewhere in the middle.

Congrats, Lindsay. You got a new half-sister.

Jessica Simpson Return of the DAISY DUKES!

Jessica Simpson rocked a pair of Daisy Dukes in L.A. yesterday ... begging the question, WHY WAS SHE AFRAID TO SHOW OFF HER LEGS IN THAT WEIGHT WATCHERS COMMERCIAL?

Simpson -- who signed a $4 mil deal with WW -- took some serious heat for not flaunting her revamped, slimmed down figure when her first WW commercial aired earlier this month.

But yesterday, Simpson finally showed off the goods during a mid-day shopping trip ... and the goods looked good.

As we previously reported, Simpson says she's lost over 40 pounds since giving birth to daughter Maxwell in May through diet and exercise.

Jess ain't exactly back in the same Daisy Dukes shape she was back in 2005, when she rocked the short shorts in "Dukes of Hazzard" ... but still, progress is progress.

Michael Lohan My Baby Mama's a LIAR 'I'll NEVER Leave Kate'

0-otndrwqd

Mark this day for the history books ... Michael Lohan has gone on record to tell TMZ ... "I'LL NEVER LEAVE KATE MAJOR."

TMZ caught up with MiLo at LAX last night and we asked him about his alleged baby mama Kristi Horn ... who recently ripped him a new one​ and called him an absentee father who owes hundreds-of-thousands in back child support.

MiLo explained his side of the story (here's a hint: DENY, DENY, DENY) but more importantly, he took the opportunity to defend his relationship with Kate and tell us he's in it for the long haul.

Talk about JINXING it.

Michael Lohan's Ex I Pity His New Baby Mama

Once a deadbeat dad, ALWAYS a deadbeat dad ... so says one of Michael Lohan's baby mamas ... who says it's a lesson Kate Major is about to learn the hard way.

TMZ spoke with Kristi Horn - who has a 17-year-old daughter named Ashley with Lohan. Horn tells us Michael isn't just an absentee father ... he also owes her more than $300k in back child support.

And Horn says there's a ZERO PERCENT chance MiLo changes his ways with the new kid on the way.

"This is a freaking train wreck ... here we go again," Horn says.

"I just feel so bad for Kate. She’s going to be a single mother eventually ... he’s going to leave her to raise their child alone like he did to Dina and I."

Maybe, maybe not ... but probably maybe.

Arnold Baby Mama Blows Cover in Her Divorce

Arnold Schwarzenegger's baby mama blew the lid off her secret when she wrote in her divorce papers ... she and her husband had no minor children during their marriage.

TMZ broke the story ... Mildred Patty Baena listed her husband, Rogelio Baena, on the child's birth certificate. Yet in her divorce petition, filed in February, 2008, she checks the box that says, "There are no minor children."

The upshot -- the judge would not order Rogelio to pay child support, and Patty is effectively saying someone other than him is the father.

The father, we know now, is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had been secretly supporting Patty and the boy.

Arnold's Love Child Nicest Kid You'll Ever Meet

Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child with Mildred Patricia Baena is a studious, athletic, fun-loving, charitable, yes-ma'am-no-ma'am kind of kid -- according to the boy's neighbors.

People who live next door to Patty and her son tell us, the boy "is the type of kid you just want to be around. He is so sweet, funny, and handsome."

But that's not it -- we're also told he is extremely well-mannered and smart, loves sports, and is even involved in door-to-door fund-raising for local charities.

The apple falls far from the tree.

Maury to Mike Lohan I'll Settle Your Daddy Drama!

Michael Lohan is trying to put an end to allegations he fathered an illegitimate daughter 15 years ago ... and to clear his name, he's turning to the expert in daddy DNA drama -- Maury Povich.

Sources tell TMZ ... Lohan is currently talking to "Maury" producers about going on the show and taking a paternity test to prove he never impregnated Kristi Kaufmann ... who claims she had an affair with Mike in the '90s.

Lohan tells TMZ Kaufmann has demanded child support in the past ... and even changed the child's birth certificate to bear Michael's last name ... which would make the kid Lindsay adjacent.

Who's your daddy, Michael?

Beyonce's Dad You ARE the Father

Beyonce Knowles is officially a big sister again. A DNA test has confirmed that Mathew Knowles is the father of Alexsandra Wright's brand new baby boy ... sources tell TMZ.

With the DNA test a match, we're told lawyers for Knowles and Wright are in the final stages of negotiating a settlement for baby Nixon's child support.

Wright filed a paternity suit last October against Knowles -- who was temporarily ordered to pay $8,200 in monthly child support.

Wright claims she had an 18-month affair with Knowles.

As far as we know, nothing's tricky about Nixon .... so far.

More Mathew Knowles


Beyonce's Dad Ordered to Pay Child Support

Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, has just been ordered to support baby Nixon, at least temporarily ... TMZ has learned.

An L.A. judge just ordered Knowles to pay $8,200 a month in child support, retroactive to February 1. Knowles must also pay 100% of uninsured medical costs.

Alexsandra Wright claims she had an 18-month relationship with Knowles and he's the baby daddy of Nixon -- born February 4.

Wright's lawyer, Neal Hersh, went to court today asking for support and the judge granted it.

But Knowles will take a DNA test March 1 ... and the long-term support issues hinge on the outcome.

It's interesting -- Knowles has not flat out denied he's the daddy. And in fact, he gave Alexsandra $10,000 in January to cover uninsured medical costs and baby stuff.

UPDATE: The Judge ordered Knowles to pay Wright $20,750 for the month of January.

Fitty Won't Have to Pony Up 50% to Babymama

50 Cent's baby mama won't be able to take half his loot, a judge just ruled in New York.

A Supreme Court judge just dismissed Shaniqua Tompkins' claim to half the rapper's assets, which she had estimated at $50 million. Tompkins is the mama of Fitty's 11-year-old son.

The judge said in her judgment the relationship was "an unfortunate tale of a love relationship gone sour." Both sides had filed memorable affidavits detailing their pillow talk -- she claimed 50 promised to take care of her "for life."

Didn't work for Babymama, but her lawyer says he could file an appeal.

Brett Kimmel, 50 Cent's attorney, tells TMZ, "Ms. Tompkins's claims pertaining to a $50 million verbal contract were entirely frivolous. In dismissing the case before trial, the court is sending a clear message. This is a complete and total victory for 50." 50 himself added, "I'm very thankful for this decision. I knew that once the facts were heard that justice would prevail. I hope now that we can put this behind us and move forward with our lives."

Fitty Gets About 50% of What He Wanted

Part of the 50 Cent baby mama drama actually got resolved today -- the parties agreed on a custody arrangement.

Fitty wanted two weekends a month with Marquise, but the judge awarded him one. He did however get one month in the summer and half of the time Marquise is out of school for winter and spring breaks.

All parties are simpatico ... on this. There's still a huge tangle of legal thorns in NYC, Long Island, and Connecticut.

Fiddy Gets Baby from Mama No Drama

This might be the most shocking development yet in the 50 Cent baby mama drama: An exchange between the two that didn't end -- or begin -- with fireworks!

We're told that Fiddy picked up his son Marquise yesterday from baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins -- and the drop-off went off "without a hitch"! The rapper and his boy haven't seen each other since before the house where Tompkins and Marquise were living burned down at the end of May.

Fiddy, we're told, will be spending time with Marquise at his home in Connecticut until the middle of next week, when he has to leave the country to film a movie. Explosions will likely resume in September, when the pair have to be back in family court to settle a restraining order.

Maybe Baby Mama Didn't Do It For the Money

Should anyone be surprised that Michael Lohan may be the only one trying to cash in on the half-blood princess?

Daryl Kaufmann -- husband of Michael's maybe baby mama Kristi -- says the fam went public about the unclaimed kid because Mike's been repeatedly refusing to chip in some support ... not because they wanted to make a buck.

Daryl claims that they didn't get paid to go public -- they were just using the media to get Michael to own up.

What a big, big surprise.

Daddy Lohan Loves Lindsay's Half $i$ter

Michael Lohan should be named father of the freakin' century. Now Daddy Trainwreck wants to cash in on his might-be illegitimate daughter, whether he's the daddy or not.

We're hearing MiLo tried to seal the deal with at least two celeb weeklies over the results of his paternity: He's asking $10K for the story if he's not the dad -- and $20K if he is the dad. That's because he's also talking about selling the pictures of the first meeting between Lindsay and her new half-sister. People and OK! have politely declined his effed up offer.

And this was the guy who was slamming the girl's mom for selling pics to the tabs? Ma and Pot Kettle!

UPDATE: Michael Lohan tells us he never offered to sell anything to anybody, and calls our story "defamatory."
