Allen Iverson Dodges Jail Time ... Forks Over $40k to Ex
Wanna get Allen Iverson to pay his child support bill? Threaten jail ... because the ex-NBA star finally coughed up the $40,000 he owed his ex wife ... narrowly escaping time in the slammer.
TMZ broke the story ... Iverson's ex, Tawanna, has been trying to collect child support from the b-baller since their divorce was finalized in February, but no cigar. Then, last month she asked a judge to throw him in jail, if he continued to dodge the bill: $8,000 / month for the last 5 months.
In new court docs -- filed last month in Fulton County, GA -- Iverson said he never paid the money because he was led to believe he and Tawanna would reconcile.
Taking a hard stance a judge ordered Iverson pony up the cash within 72 hours ... or be arrested.
The threat apparently worked, Iverson's lawyer tells TMZ ... "Allen has complied with the order and met every term for which he was required."
Also ... he's not in jail.

Put away the bottles of bub ... 50 Cent has just been dropped from MLB.com's upcoming All-Star Bash in NYC in the wake of his domestic violence scandal, TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story ... 50 was charged with domestic violence last week following the alleged domestic dispute at his baby mama's house in California in June, during which he allegedly kicked her and destroyed a bunch of her property (more than $7,000 worth).
50 was supposed to perform at the MLB.com party on July 14th along with Kaskade, but sources tell TMZ, MLB officials decided not to move forward with the alleged GF-kicker.
50's name appeared on the original flyer for the event ... but the event's Facebook page is now updated, and advertises 2 "surprise performances" for the party.
MLB hasn't returned our calls to confirm 50 was cut as a direct result of the domestic violence charges.
50's people haven't gotten back to us either.

'Vampire Diaries' Star I Have a Kid! & My Baby Mama's In Jail
"The Vampire Diaries" star Zach Roerig is battling his baby mama for sole custody of their kid because she was just sentenced to Federal prison. But more importantly ... who knew he had a kid?
According to legal docs filed in GA court last month, Zach -- who plays regular human Matt Donovan on the show -- has a daughter with a woman named Alanna Turner, born in January 2011.
In the docs, 28-year-old Zach is asking the court to change the current custody arrangement and grant him full custody -- and he has a pretty good reason.
According to Zach, Alanna has been arrested at least three times and is actually incarcerated right now in after she pled guilty in federal court to "various crimes."
He's also asking that his jail-bird baby mama cough up child support -- perhaps a few cartons of Marlboros a month?
Calls to Zach's rep were not returned.

50 Cent Congrats On SECOND Child At Least According to Cops
The woman accusing 50 Cent of domestic violence is NOT Shaniqua Tompkins -- the mother of the rapper's 16-year-old son -- it's ANOTHER baby mama, TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... cops say the victim of the domestic violence incident is a former girlfriend who has a child with 50.
50 has never publicly acknowledged having a second child ... but it appears the woman behind the allegation is Daphne Joy -- a model who famously dated 50 for 3 years.
There were rumors the two had a child last fall ... but neither 50 nor Daphne ever confirmed the birth. In fact, the L.A. City Attorney seemed to break the news in its statement to the media when it said the victim and 50 had a "child in common."
We spoke with Shaniqua, who swore she wasn't the accuser -- and we know Daphne lives in Toluca Lake, where the alleged incident took place.
So ... congrats???
Calls to 50 have not been returned.

Kanye West ANGRY FACE w/ His Baby (Grand) Mama
Looking like a Sith lord, Kanye West spent some quality 1-on-1 time with his baby's mama's mama Kris Jenner in Los Angeles today ... and shocker, he wasn't in a very friendly mood!
Kanye made it clear he didn't wanna talk right from the start ... and Kris, obviously aware of Kanye's explosive temper, playfully (or nervously) signaled to the photog to back off before K blew his top.
Thankfully, the photog took Kris' warning ... and no one was hurt in the making of this clip.
It's the first time we've seen Kanye out in public since the birth of his daughter North.
As we previously reported, Kim is in hiding with the child at a secret location so they can bond without the cameras around.
There are rumors that Kim will debut the kid on Kris' new talk show.
Smile Kanye ... it's gonna be ok, man.

Flo Rida vs. Florida State Backs Baby Mama in Child Support War
Flo Rida's baby mama is demanding the rapper fork over some dough for his kid ... the very same kid Flo adamantly DENIED fathering -- but now we know the truth.
The Florida Dept. of Revenue filed legal docs in connection with Gloria Holloway's request for child support from Flo -- real name Tramar Dillard -- for Gloria's two-year-old son.
As TMZ previously reported, Flo denied knocking up Gloria ... and even claimed he took a paternity test that came back negative -- but according to the new docs, the court has ALREADY established paternity.
Here's why ... when child support requests come through the state's Dept. of Revenue -- it usually means no one's disputing it. Translation: Looks like Flo's the daddy.
Now the state of FL wants Flo to hand over his financials so it can determine how much he owes.
We reached out to Flo ... but no word back yet.

Kim Kardashian Obsessed with Breastfeeding
Kim Kardashian's breasts have swelled to a record-sized G-CUP following her pregnancy -- and sources close to the reality star tell TMZ, she LOVES whipping out her massive new mammaries for baby-suckling time.
Sources tell us, Kim's taking to motherhood like a newborn to a nipple -- in fact, she actively looks forward to her "feedings" with baby North West ... EVEN CHANGING DIRTY DIAPERS!!! As one source put it, "She does it all."
It's pretty crazy ... considering how vocal Kim's been about motherly duties in the past. Back in 2010, she got into hot water for criticizing a mom for breastfeeding at a restaurant.
EWW Im at lunch,the woman at the table next 2 me is breast feeding her baby w no coverup then puts baby on the table and changes her diaper
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) June 19, 2010
As for Kanye, we're told he's a natural dad -- "No one has ever seen him like this."
Now for another famous G-cup ...

Brooke Mueller She May Not Get Twins For a Year
Brooke Mueller thinks she's going to get her kids back when she leaves rehab, but according to sources connected to the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services ... she may not get the kids back for at least a year.
Brooke has been in rehab around 20 times ... in other words, it never sticks -- at least not so far. Our Brooke sources are confident the judge will return twins Bob and Max to her when she exits rehab, and her family is willing to do what it takes to reassure the court that the kids will be fine. If that means a family member living with Brooke ... we're told that will be offered.
But other sources tell TMZ ... DCFS feels it's too risky to return the kids to Brooke until there's proof she can function clean and sober over a period of time, and we're told that time frame is a year, and possibly longer. Our sources add ... DCFS will allow meaningful visitation between Brooke and the kids, but not custody until there's proof she's on the straight and narrow.
Finally, we're told this has nothing to do with Charlie Sheen. On this one ... DCFS is calling the shots.

Kim and Kanye Baby Blocked in Maternity Ward ... By Dwight Howard
When Kim Kardashian first arrived to Cedars-Sinai to deliver her baby, she didn't get the fancy celebrity suite she had hoped for 'cause they were all in use ... and one of the VIP occupants was Dwight Howard's newest baby mama, TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the births tell us ... before Kim went into labor, she had made arrangements to stay in one of the fancy suites at the L.A. hospital. But the baby came 5 weeks early, and the fancy suites were all booked. So Kim was placed in another unit.
But while Kim was laid out in bed, Kanye roamed the maternity ward ... and bumped into NBA superstar Dwight Howard, whose lady was giving birth to his child.
FYI -- Dwight's a seasoned vet when it comes to the maternity ward ... he's reportedly fathered 3 other kids (with 3 different women).
We're told Kanye and Dwight got along great ... with Yeezy giving Howard a preview of his new album "Yeezus."
As for Kim ... we're told she's finally out of the hospital -- and mother and the baby are shacked up in a private location.

Allen Iverson's Ex Wants Him Tossed in Jail Over Unpaid Child Support
Allen Iverson has a date this week with the judge who earlier this year called him a horrible parent ... and seeing as his ex claims he owes $40,000 in child support ... this new hearing will probably go as poorly for Iverson as the last one.
As TMZ first reported, when Iverson's divorce was finalized back in February, the judge in the case tore Iverson's parenting skills a new one ... saying, "He does not know how to manage the children" and he "has been a hindrance to their spiritual and emotional growth and development."
Now TMZ has learned Iverson's ex, Tawanna, has filed docs with the court saying that Iverson has failed to honor the child support agreement that was handed down back in January. The order stated that Iverson was to pay $8,000/month in support for their 5 kids ... but Tawanna claims Iverson has missed every payment he was supposed to make.
The two are set to be in court this week, where Tawanna wants the judge to order Iverson to fork over the $40,000 he owes in support and even suggest the judge lock Iverson up for his actions.
Should be a fun day in court.

Jessica Simpson Sued Accused of Diabolical Baby Conspiracy!
Jessica Simpson was involved in a dastardly conspiracy with OK! Magazine to make a buck by grabbing a man's baby and mugging with the infant for the camera, making it appear as if the child were hers ... this according to a bizarre new lawsuit.
According to lawsuit uncovered by The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, Christopher Hurst took his teenage daughter and infant son to a department store in October 2011 to meet Simpson.
The lawsuit claims ... when Hurst got close to Simpson, a stranger suggested he hand his infant over to Simpson ... who was pregnant at the time.
Hurst obliged, and then, according to the suit, a photog came out of nowhere and began snapping pics.
According to the suit, Hurst was stunned months later when OK! splashed the pic on its cover, making it appear it was Jessica's baby. The irony -- Jessica's baby wasn't even born yet.
The lawsuit accuses Jessica of being in on the plot, claiming she had a deal with a competing mag to sell the first baby pic for $800k, but then got greedy and hatched a plot with OK! to double dip with a baby that wasn't even hers.
Hurst is suing Simpson, OK! magazine, and Getty Images for damages in excess of $75,000.
We reached to a rep for Simpson ... so far, no word back.
Nate Dogg Baby Mamas Battle Over Child Support Payments
Two of Nate Dogg's baby mamas are trading legal blows over child support payments ... with one trying to block the other's attempt to get more money from his estate ... TMZ has learned.
According to docs filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court, Rhoda Mouton is asking a judge to deny Omena Norris' request for an increase in support for the child she had with Nate back in 2006.
In the docs, Mouton (who has a teenaged son with Nate) claims Norris lied in her filing when she said her son received no Social Security payments from Nate's estate ... arguing that Norris and her son receive $694/month.
Mouton claims since Norris lied about that -- and since she never adequately states why she needs her support bumped up to $1,846/month (from $1,624) -- the judge should toss the request out entirely until Norris can file a new (and correct) request.
Mouton even takes it a step further, and says the judge should cut Norris' support all the way down to $802/month.
A judge has yet to rule.
