R. Kelly

We don't typically give props to singers who allegedly urinate on 14-year old girls during sex... but this is pretty good stuff from R. Kelly.

During a concert at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles over the weekend, two women were fighting over a seat in the crowd.

How did R. Kelly handle it? He maintaining his composure and simply called for security, via song! Okay, he definitely cursed a bit, too.

But the artist melodically make sure the situation is taken care of in this clip:

Nearly eight months since Whitney Houston died in Beverly Hills, close friend and world famous producer Clive Davis has given fans a chance to listen to new music from the legendary artist.

Davis called in this morning to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" and premiered "I Look to You," a duet between Houston and R. Kelly that the former recorded not long before her tragic demise.

Bad news for fans of artists who like to urinate on teenage girls R. Kelly: the musician has been forced to cancel a number of appearances this week due to what his rep is describing as a "health emergency."

R. Kelly Live in Nashville

The artist was scheduled to appear at a book launch in New York City tonight, but has been "sidelined in Chicago," according to an insider who tells TMZ:

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."

Kelly has also backed out of a performance on Jimmy Fallon and on The Today Show, with his camp telling the site:

"Initial indications are that he is suffering from complications from surgery he had last year to treat an abscess on his vocal cords... It is unclear how long Kelly may be sidelined."

We wish the controversial singer a full recovery. We guess.

R. Kelly was discharged from a Chicago hospital after undergoing an emergency throat operation. The 44-year-old went to see a specialist last week.

Soon enough, he wound up in the emergency room at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where doctors drained an abcess on one of his tonsils.

"He left the hospital and is recuperating at home in Chicago," his publicist said. "Still no word on when he'll be able to resume performing."

He is free to resume stiffing mortgage lenders ASAP, however.

R. Kelly may have gotten away with urinating on a 14-year old girl during sex, but the guy can't just walk away from his mortgage payments!

Court documents show that the Grammy winner has ignored the bank for over a year now and is in danger of losing his Chicago mansion. A foreclosure action was filed in June because the principal balance, not counting interest, stands at $2.9 million.

The original loan was issued in 1999 for $3.5 million

R. Kelly isn't the only singer facing foreclosure. Carnie Wilson has also missed a number of payments and may not be able to hold on to her house for another day.

See, R. Kelly. When you urinate on 14-year old girls during sex, there's always a price to pay...

Jeff Kwatinetz, the former manager of this R&B singer, has filed lawsuit against his ex-client, alleging that Kelly screwed him out of over $1 million in commission.

In the suit, as first reported by TMZ, Kwatinetz argues he "guided Kelly through the recording of two new albums, substantial multi-million dollar tours... a book deal, and a myriad of other appearances and events" during 2008, as the artist was forging a comeback following numerous personal and legal issues.

However, Kelly "refused to pay" the 15% commission owed to his manager, according to documents.

When R. Kelly loves, his tends to urinate all over his underage sexual partner. Seriously. You can look it up.

But what happens when a woman loves? The singer answered that question on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday, performing a single off his upcoming album.

It's aptly titled "When a Woman Loves" and you can watch the performance here:

Poor R. Kelly.

The guy just wants to move on with life.

If only that pesky child porno case would go away.

The filthy human being, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is being sued by a private investigator who claims the star stiffed him on a $300,000 bill.

According to a lawsuit filed last week in Missouri federal court, Charles Freeman claims he was hired in the midst of Kelly's recent trial to "obtain and/or recover certain tapes that were said to incriminate" R. Kelly.

One of presumably many R. Kelly mug shots.

Kelly was pretty miraculously found not guilty on all counts, despite being charged with 21 counts of having sexual intercourse with a minor (Lisa Van Allen).

Freeman said he did the job (which was somehow legal, apparently, if he's admitting to it) but never got paid. He's suing for damages, interest and costs.
