Stop us if you've heard this one before...
It was reported yesterday that Carmelo Anthony and wife La La had split after seven years of marriage, and now we're learning why! Apparently, the NBA star impregnated an exotic dancer, and now she's three months away from giving birth, TMZ reports. Yikes! The unidentified woman now wants the baller to pay for medical expenses and other child-related costs.
The couple had allegedly been having problems for a while, but the cheating was the straw that broke the camel's back. The former MTV host has already packed up her stuff and left. "La La moved out of the family home last week and has her own place in NYC now," a source dished to the outlet.
The two have began dating in 2004 and married in 2010. They share son Kiyan, 10.
Perhaps Kim K can lend her pal a shoulder to cry on?

Happy birthday, Posh!
Victoria Beckham was in a lighthearted mood at LAX on Monday as she headed to London with hubby David and daughter Harper on the occasion of her 43rd birthday. Photographers greeted VBecks with a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday To You as she got out of the car and made her way to the terminal and Victoria actually loved it! Yeah, that straight face and downturned head means she loved it -- that's as expressive as she gets.
In her Supreme x Louis Vuitton tee, her now signature wide-legged trousers and her adorable choppy hair, Victoria made her way through security, even giving a wave to the paparazzi as she finished and headed to her plane.
Hottie David Beckham, in his straw hat, and little Harper in her Victoria Beckham for Target girls' dress and Burberry backpack, weren't far behind, going through the VIP entrance. And they're off to London for a birthday bash! Check out the super-adorable Harper singing Happy Birthday to her mum ... sweet!

Things are really getting serious!
Prince Harry will bring girlfriend Meghan Markle to Pippa Middleton's wedding, but she won't be on hand for the actual ceremony, People reports. Due to a "no ring, no bring" policy, only those with spouses are given a plus one to the event, but the Suits star will join her man as his date to the reception.
Kate Middleton's little sister is set to wed financier James Matthews at St. Mark’s church in Engelfield, England, on May 20. The guest list was likely formalized last year, before the royal and the actress went public with their romance, so it's not an intentional snub.
The spare heir is certainly serious about his relationship with the brunette beauty. Instead of attending Easter services with the rest of his clan, he flew out to Toronto to spend the holiday with his lady love.

We understand why she wants her bodyguard around!
Mel B was out and about running errands in LA over the weekend, and she had her security detail with her at all times! It's no wonder, considering the former Spice Girl is "living in fear of her life" following her decision to file for divorce from her allegedly abusive husband Stephen Belafonte.
She has extra muscle on the set of America's Got Talent, too, just to make sure her ex doesn't show up and try to ambush her.
"Mel is petrified about her safety and fears Belafonte may attempt to crash the filming to see her. She is living her life in fear about the ramifications of filing legal papers of divorce and the restraining order," a source dished to The Daily Star.
A new report claims Belfonte savagely beat the mother-of-three when he suspected she was having an affair with Simon Cowell.
"Stephen’s jealousy at that point was causing massive problems in the marriage — and he was convinced something was going on between her and Simon. He did not like the fact Mel obviously looked up to him and spoke about him a lot," a source dished to The Sun.
“He thought she was up to all sorts at the time — but accusing her of sleeping with Simon was a real low point. He just couldn’t control his jealousy and anger when she was appearing on such a high-profile show with successful people that he didn’t know. It caused huge arguments that led to a loss of trust that never really healed. It is definitely one of the things that led to the eventual breakdown of their relationship,†the source added.
The British beauty has since reportedly cut off Belafonte from all her bank accounts, and is seeking the help of victim support groups to deal with the trauma of her tumultuous marriage to the music producer.

How cute is she?!
Gwen Stefani got all dolled up in a cute white lace minidress to take her sons to church on Easter Sunday, and the singer was flying solo without boyfriend Blake Shelton. Still, she makes juggling three kids by herself look easy!
Later in the day, the No Doubt songstress reunited with her country man at her dad's house for a holiday celebration, which included a backyard egg hunt.
We wonder if a proposal is on the horizon? These two have been inseparable since they got together last year, and they seem committed to building a happily ever after with each other. According to the rumor mill, having a child is more of a priority than a wedding at this point, though!
"They’re trying to have a baby first. That’s their main focus right now. She’s determined to have another baby and carry it herself, even though Blake has said it doesn’t matter if they adopt or get a surrogate," a source recently dished to Life & Style.

Cue the outrage!
Melissa Etheridge admitted to smoking weed with her kids in a new interview for Yahoo's "Weed & The American Family" series, and the singer isn't the least bit ashamed about it. The crooner began to use cannabis medicinally after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and undergoing chemotherapy.
"I asked many of my friends [who had gone through chemo], ‘What’s the experience? What are you doing?’ And my friend David Crosby, he was the first one who said, ‘You know, Melissa, you have to do medicinal marijuana. You have to [try] cannabis. That’s the way to do it. It’s too hard otherwise,’" she explained. "It was a wake-up call for me. When I used it as medicine, it became so clear to me that it has been maligned and misunderstood, and I really wanted to help people who are suffering. I mean, going through chemotherapy is suffering… and cannabis helps so many parts of just that. That’s just the beginning of what it does medicinally," she added.
"I smoked to be normal. I smoked to be out of pain. I smoked to lighten myself because you’re poisoning yourself with chemo. It wasn’t about being high; it wasn’t at all anything like that. It was just being to a place where I could communicate with my children, to where I could get up, to where I could eat, where I didn’t have to go to the hospital. It was great medicine,†she continued.
She has no problem lighting up with her daughter Bailey, 20, and son Beckett, 18.
"I have smoked with my older two. It was funny at first, and then they realized, it’s a very natural, end-of-the-day [thing] … And it brings you much closer. I’d much rather have a smoke with my grown kids than a drink — oh, God, no," she confessed.
She also indulges with her wife Linda Wallem, especially when they want a romantic evening.
"Cannabis is the best marital aid. When it’s date night … It takes down your inhibition; your sexual desires are enhanced. We take a bath every night and smoke and talk and wind down and sleep a very, very good night sleep — and sleep is extremely important,†she revealed.
All this almost makes us want to pick up the sticky icky!

Not hard feelings here!
Jennifer Garner officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck last week, but the pair aren't letting that little detail get between them, as we caught them leaving church services on Easter Sunday. They seem committed to keeping their family together and amicably co-parenting, even though they are both reportedly ready to move on. In fact, TMZ claims the actor is already dating someone new, although the relationship is "not serious." Who is she?!
As far as the D-word, the former couple filed the petition and response together without a lawyer, meaning that they coordinated their efforts. They both requested joint legal and physical custody of their three children, and they left the option of spousal support open ended.
In terms of splitting their assets, they didn't have a prenup, so all their earnings will be divided up 50/50. That's bad news for the Batman actor, as he made a lot more dough than his wife during their nearly 10 year marriage. They are still negotiating a financial settlement, but the divorce could be final within six months.
So why did they decide to finally go through with it after a two year standstill?
"They always planned to divorce despite what people said. If you look at their first statement it says divorce not separate. They just did it the way they wanted to and did what was best for their kids. There was no catalyst, it was just time. Nothing has changed, they are and still will be putting their kids first," a source dished to People.
This whole conscious uncoupling thing has really taken over Hollywood!
