HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Music star Kelis has filed for divorced from rapper Nas, despite being seven months pregnant with the couple's son.

Kelis, 29, and Nas, 35, met in 2002 at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party thrown by Sean "Diddy" Combs. They tied the knot three years later in Atlanta.

NEW YORK — A Georgia man was found guilty of stalking Tyra Banks in a ruling handed down Thursday in a New York City courtroom.

Brady Green, 39, was convicted of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment, according to The Associated Press.

The Dublin, Ga. native faces up to 90 days in jail for the conviction. His sentencing will take place in June, AP said.

Chris Brown's Lawyer May Seek Dismissal of Rihanna Assault Case

Submitted by Rich King on April 29, 2009

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — If Chris Brown's attorney gets his way, the R&B star's assault case will get tossed out of the court.

The 19-year-old Brown, who was arrested in February for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, fellow singer Rihanna, pleaded not guilty earlier this month to the two felony charges against him — assault and making criminal threats. On Wednesday, his attorney, Mark Geragos, was granted a delay in the case by L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg. Geragos will use the time to continue looking into the police photo that was leaked shortly after Brown's arrest. The graphic shot appeared to be of a bruised-up Rihanna and Geragos told E! News that he will seek to have the case dismissed if the leak came from within.
