Lala has moved out of the home that she shared with Carmelo and is currently liv- ing in her own place.
Today, TMZ is reporting that in addition to their mar- ital troubles, a stripper who works at an NYC shaky-butt club claims that she is 6 and a half months pregnant with Carmelo’s side-seed.
She firmly believe the child is Melo’s and expects him to pay for all medical costs and baby-related expenses. An- thony denies the allegations.
It is said that things haven’t been peace-and-peachy around the Anthony house- hold for quite some time, but news of this alleged preg- nancy was the straw that broke the Lala’s back.
Lala and Carmelo Anthony are headed for a divorce.
So far no one has filed legal divorce papers, but it doesn’t appear that the relationship can be salvaged.

BENNIE VINES Chris Brown at Club AJA.
The latest development is that photographer, Bennie Vines, is planning to sue Chris Brown for a busted lip after he sucker punched him.
Brown was in Tampa for a soldout show at Amalie Arena and went to a paid appearance in the early morning hours on Monday (April 17) when he and his entourage arrived at the AJA Channelside club.
Around 1:30 a.m., Breezy and his entourage of 50 people were inside the nightclub when the venue’s photographer (Vines) began snapping pic- tures. Brown reportedly shut down the photog and “sucker punched” him.
The club’s co-owner, Robert Solomon claims he
lost tens of thousands of dollars because of the incident.
Brown and his entourage said there would be no photos. Vines says that he wasn't tak- ing pictures of Brown.
Solomon also added that Brown was only there for about 3-5 minutes even though he was paid to stick around for an hour.
Conflicting reports say that a fight ensued, but Solomon says “It wasn’t a brawl, Brown punched a photog for the club and walked out.”
AJA Channelside posted a statement on Facebook inform- ing its customers of how they are handling the situation, say- ing that assault charges have been pressed.
