Mos Def's Paternity Woes

February 17, 2006

Mos Def's new danger? Falling behind on child support.

A New York judge ordered the rapper-actor Thursday to make good on $10,000 a month payments to his estranged wife, Maria Yepes-Smith, to care for the pair's seven and eight-year-old daughters. Mos Def told the court he has financial problems that left him $2,000 short.

Lisa Marie Goes Fourth

February 17, 2006

Lisa Marie Presley must have been happy with her recent tour. She just married her musical director.

Actually, it's news of the marriage that just happened, with an announcement Thursday from Presley's publicist. The actual ceremony, joining Presley and musician-producer Michael Lockwood in matrimony, occurred Jan. 22 in Japan.

Lockwood's age and previous marital status are unknown. Presley's are not. She turned 38 on Feb. 1, making her a mere 37 when she walked down the aisle for the fourth time with Lockwood. 010380 Burning Love: Cage, Presley Tie the Knot 010894 Cage, Presley: Return to Sender
