Image via Gene Sweeney Jr./Getty Images Blake Griffin To Pay $258,000 Per Month In Child Support COTDAMN!!! We’ve heard some outrageous figures for child support before, but this is…wow. According to RadarOnline , Pistons baller Blake Griffin has been ordered to pay his baby mama Brynn Cameron $258,000 per MONTH in child support. Brynn birthed both of Blake’s children, Ford Wilson, 5, and Finley Elaine, 2. Blake and Brynn have been tied up in a UGLY paternity battle in addition to a civil lawsuit where Brynn claims that Blake deaded their engagement and left her for Kendall Jenner. In that Feb. 14 suit, Cameron said Griffin — who is now dating model Francesca Aiello after splitting from Jenner in April — refused to “provide promised financial support” even after he asked her to “give up her career goals and aspirations to raise their children and support” his career. Back in January Brynna claimed that Blake kicked her and their kids out of his mansion and left her essentially homeless with only $100 in her bank account. Blake Griffin just finished the first year of a 5-year contract worth upwards of $171 million. He’s set to bring in $32 million next season. For those of you who aren’t great at math, this means that Brynn will clock $3,096,000 per year and $55,728,000 over the course of 18 years. Oh, by the way, Brynn also has a son with former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart. That chick is eating good. Reactions are everything from ashy to hilarious. Flip it over.

According to TMZ, Smith is being investigated by the NYPD after a fan filed a police report stating that the forgetful baller had stolen his cell phone and tossed it into a construction site. The story goes that the fan secretly snapped a pic of J.R. after he was asked not to. J.R. got mad, took the phone, and heaved it across the street from The Park nightclub in Chelsea, NY. The fan called the cops reporting that his $800 phone was damaged. J.R. isn’t being charged at this time, but the NYPD definitely want to have a conversation with him.
It’s been over a week since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed her life, but we still know very little about the events that precipitated the near-tragedy. Lovato remains hospitalized and has remained under doctors’ care for much longer than expected, leading many to the conclusion that she came even closer to death than originally thought. While we know that Lovato was administered Narcan at the scene of the OD — a move that may well have saved the 25-year-old’s life — it’s still unclear what sort of drugs she was using. At first, it was reported that Demi had been using heroin. Shortly thereafter, a nurse who claimed to have treated the singer insisted that Lovato was addicted to methamphetamines . Now, new details have emerged indicating that it was, in fact, some sort of opioid that nearly claimed Demi’s life. “Demi had evidence of intravenous drug use when she was taken to the hospital after her drug overdose last week,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “The physical signs were on her arms,” the source adds. While other drugs can be used intravenously, the fact that Demi injected the substance and had to be revived with Narcan indicates that it was likely heroin which caused her overdose. Of course, the question of what drug Demi was using is almost immaterial compared to the question of what comes next. Some say Lovato has agreed to go to rehab, while others insist she’s still too ill to even consider her next step. Whatever the case, family and friends are reportedly well aware that the weeks and months after Lovato leaves treatment will be crucial to her continued well-being. Demi’s mother has even gone so far as to begin the process of being granted a conservatorship over Demi. Sources have confirmed to Radar that Dianna Hart “is talking about getting a conservatorship because she does not trust Demi with anything at the moment.” The insider adds: “She feels like this is the only thing she can do to ensure her daughter will not make the same mistake again.” Obviously, Demi has a long way to go before she’s fully recovered. But the good news is, she has the right kind of people in her corner. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato: Everything We Know About Her Overdose So Far

Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images Twirl on that! Kenya Moore Fans Protest Bravo, NeNe Addresses Beef Rumors After news broke that Kenya Moore might not be returning to RHOA amid an alleged 90% salary cut , some dedicated members of Team Twirl are staging a protest. Earlier this week TheJasmineBrand caught footage of protestors (signs and all) picketing outside of Bravo’s NYC Rockefeller Plaza office. One fan’s sign read, “Bring Kenya Back” and the group of five Kenya enthusiasts chanted “Boycott Bravo.” They must reaaaaaaally love Kenya. In addition to the protest news, Kenya’s name has been coming up in an alleged beef with NeNe. NeNe recently posted about someone not “biting the hand that feeds them” unless they want to get “f***d up”… and fans assumed she was talking about Kenya. According to NeNe though, she was completely unaware that she and Kenya supposedly had beef. “I didn’t know Kenya and I had a problem,” said NeNe. What beef????

At this point, you're probably aware that Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus “fought” at the taping of this year's Teen Mom 2 reunion show. Now, as another season comes to an end and another reunion show approaches, new details are emerging about exactly what went down between the longtime rivals. Did Kailyn and Briana really come to blows? Was one of their castmates so disgusted by the escalating violence that she threatened to quit the show? Is Bri's sister really the ultimate attack dog? Join as we answer these questions and more in our breakdown of this long-awaited title fight. 1. Kail on the Side Sources say Kail had resolved to distance herself from the drama at the taping that took place back in May. Obviously, that was an unattainable goal. 2. Spilling the Tea Kail opened up about the events of the reunion on a recent episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, and as you may have guessed, things got seriously ugly. 3. The Showdown According to both reports from both women, Briana and Kailyn nearly came to blows on two separate occasions. 4. Backing Down The first such occasion saw Kailyn approach Bri and threaten her. But when the time came to “throw hands,” as Bri puts it, Kailyn simply wasn’t up to the task of socking one of her co-stars in the face … or so DeJesus says. 5. Growing Up? That’s a good thing, obviously, as violence that’s not in self-defense is generally something only crazy people resort to. Which is why producers keep Jenelle Evans around. 6. Round 2 The Second time they came face-to-face, Briana reportedly attacked Kailyn. And this time, there was no backing down … View Slideshow
Last week, Kylie and Travis tried to bury breakup rumors by sharing some PDA. And it worked! They’re still together. And now a report says that Travis is gearing up to ask Kylie to marry him — on her upcoming birthday, no less. If you want to land a woman who is soon to be the world’s youngest self-made billionaire , you have to do it right. Take a look at what he has planned. HollywoodLife reports that Travis Scott is planning to propose to Kylie on the day that she turns 21. “Travis wants to put together a huge marriage proposal to Kylie,” the source reports. The insider goes on to add that Travis wants to do this “for her birthday.” Kylie will turn 21 on August 10. Which is in just a week and a half, folks. “He is thinking of getting on his knee,” the source dishes. “To surprise her by asking to marry him with a huge ring for 21st birthday.” “He loves Kylie with his whole heart,” the insider adds. Well, considering that they’ve been dating for over a year and also have a baby together, we’d sure hope so. “And,” the source continues. “Having a baby with her has only brought them closer together.” That can definitely happen sometimes, for a variety of reasons — from bonding over creating a new human to a sense of obligation. Because of all of this, he wants to make things official with Kylie with an engagement. Travis apparently has a specific plan. “He wants to use her milestone birthday as a chance to celebrate their love,” the insider says. Well, 21 is one of the biggest milestones in life. And, arguably, the last good birthday milestone that anyone will ever experience. It makes sense that Travis might want to pick that date as a day on which to propose. (Also, that means that he cuts down his chances of forgetting their engagement anniversary and her birthday) Of course, if you’re going to propose to Kylie Jenner, you need more than just love in your heart or whatever. “Travis has been shopping around for a big diamond,” the source reports. Oh, yeah. He’d definitely need to pick something over-the-top for Kylie. The insider shares that “he is determined to impress her with something really massive.” Good. Many people get the feeling that Kylie might be a size queen (about rings!). Apparently, Travis has reached out to another man who wormed his way into the heart of a Kardashian. “He even asked Kanye for some advice,” the insider reports. The source goes on to say that Travis specifically asked Kanye “about buying the perfect ring and how to propose.” Sometimes, people are way too nervous for do what feels right to work as an answer. They need to be coached by someone who’s been through it. The insider says: “Travis thinks Kylie deserves something massive and outrageous to symbolize their love.” It sounds like he’s on the right track, then. That said … we’re always leery when someone’s plan for a proposal leaks. Those are usually kept pretty tightly under wraps, right? Besides, if this was Travis’ plan, he might have to change it now that this story is out there. Kylie may exist in a celebrity bubble, but there’s a decent chance that she might see any report about her that pops up. So let’s hope that this doesn’t spoil the big surprise. If there is one.
