Mom-to-be Kelly Rowland lent her vocals in a new track titled “The Game” for Pepsi’s soccer-inspired visual album Beats of the Beautiful Game. And now the visuals have surfaced. Check it inside…

Beyonce isn’t the onlyDestiny’s Child member to nab a partnership with soft drink giant Pepsi.

Last week, Kelly Rowland released a new track titled “The Game” for Pepsi’s soccer-inspired visual album Beats of the Beautiful Game. And since the FIFA World Cup kicked off today, the video treatment for the track was released.

Although Mrs. Witherspoon doesn’t star in the Spike Lee-directed video, it instead follows a young boy as he makes his way through Brazil to the World Cup stadium.

When asked about the new offering Kelly said,

“I was immediately attracted to ‘The Game’ because I can identify with its theme of overcoming challenges and finding your voice. It’s a very important message and I’m honored to partner with Pepsi on a project that brings the worlds of music, sports, and film together. As an artist—and a huge film and sports fan—it’s been an incredible experience.”
 

The 11-track visual album will also feature Janelle Monae, Rita Ora, Don Omar, Santigold, super-producer Timbaland and more.

Robin Thicke DEDICATES New Album To His Estranged Wife, Titles It “Paula” + Terry Crews’ Wife Rebecca Crews LAUNCHES Singing Career With Jazz Single

Robin Thicke is really trying to win back his wife Paula Patton. And one way he’s doing so is naming his upcoming album after her. Meanwhile, Terry Crews’ wife Rebecca Crews is launching her singing career with a new single titled “Can I Stay.” Get all the deets inside….

 

Robin Thicke is going to all types of lengths to get his baby back. And his latest attempt is naming his upcoming album after his estranged wife Paula Patton.

The R&B singer’s upcoming album will be titled Paula and it will feature his newest single “Get Her Back,” the track he debuted at the Billboard Music Awards last month (and will also be performing at the 2014 BET Awards). Proving just how bad he wants to get her back, Robin wrote and produced every track on the album.

According to Rap-Up, his upcoming seventh album will be released on July 1st through Star Trak/Interscope Record, following his successful album Blurred Lines.

You’ll recall the longtime couple called it quits back in February of this year, ending their 10-year-marriage. Since their break-up, Robin was spotted breaking down during tour performances, dedicating his hit song “Lost Without You” to his wife. There have been recent reports that the two could possibly be working on their relationship so this new album could seal the deal.  Dude is putting in that WORK.  Not mad.
 

We shall see.

 

And in other music news...

Actor Terry Crews’ wife/former gospel singer Rebecca Crews is proving she’s more than just a “housewife."  She's making her own lane in the music industry.

To kick-off the summer, “The Family Crews” reality star is releasing her debut single titled “Can I Stay” slated to be released on July 8th.

Falling into the smooth jazz genre, with a gospel/pop influence, the single will be a teaser for what fans can expect when her album drops this October.

Rebecca dished on the lyrics and meaning behind the track saying,

“It was so overwhelming, that the lyrics immediately started flowing while I was heading home from church,” explains Crews. “I felt like I was able to remove myself from the chaotic world around me, and see clearly that God has a plan for me and my future. Having that security and peace was something I wanted to share with the world!”

Mrs. Crews revealed that since her kids are finally grown up, she’s finally getting to do what she always wanted to do saying,

“This music is lo-o-ong overdue,” laughs the former beauty queen. “I have been busy tending to my big family, my larger-than-life husband, and producing a hit reality show. Now that the kids are older and things are looking up for us, I know the timing is perfect!”

This should be interesting....

"The One" songstress Tamar Braxton and her "Love And War" Tour rolled through Atlanta last night where she performed at the Tabernacle.

During a recent interview with UPSCALE, Tamar revealed that her musical success has had a positive impact on her relationship with her husband/manager Vince Herbert, causing them to communicate more.

In the audience....

Clearly ignoring the advice of her mother-in-law, Tiny Harris is still in dem streets.  Without her husband. 

 photo 001_8449.jpg

Tamar's BFF Tiny and The OMG girls were in the audience rooting for her and cheering her on.  Tamar and Tiny have seen a lot of each other over the past few days as they also partied at Buckhead's Bottle Bar a few days ago.

Tamar's sisters Towanda and Trina came out to show their support.  Trina's hubby Gabe was also there. It looks like he's officially won her back. No divorce after all?

 

After the concert......

What a difference a few months make.  Now that he's disowned his oldest son, Marquis, 50 Cent has become a doting dad to two-year-old Sire Jackson.  See the pic and video he shared inside...

 photo 50centdffd.png

Once upon a time, 50 Cent seemed to not want anyone to know that he had a baby with former vixen Daphne Joy...but things have drastically changed.  Following that HUGE domestice violence dust-up a few month ago, where we first learned about the existence of young Sire Jackson, 50 Cent has done a 180 and is now openly claiming Sire as the heir to his thrown. 

He shared a new photo of Sire (who's ADORABLE) with the caption, "He's gonna be a better version of me. Little BIG MAN #smsaudio #animalambition #power" 

He's also introducing young Sire to the finer foods.  He recently posted a video of the little munchkin, who he calls "Little 50" (the same name he used to call Marquise, running around a fancy steakhouse and pointing at expensive bottles of wine. 

It's a cute video and we're happy to see 50 embracing fatherhood.  At the same time, it's bittersweet because we watched him do his olest son Marquis so dirty RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. SMH......

As if we didn't already have the biggest crush ever on the sexiness that is Michael Ealy.  We caught up with the blue-eyed Think Like A Man Too star at this week's premiere in Miami....and he told us the cutest Father's Day wish ever.

 

Check it inside...

TheYBF.com was on the scene of the Miami premiere of TLAM2 this week, and we just had to talk to Michael Ealy about this surprise son, Elijah, he sprung on the world during an interview earlier this year.

As for what he's looking forward to this Father's Day, he said the cutest thing that totally made us melt. 

“Well I am out on the road all this week, I don’t get home until Father’s Day," he told YBF Miami correspondent Adrienne Fleming"All I need for him to do is smile and I’m good. I don’t need a tie, I don’t need a present, I don’t need a breakfast, I just need him to hug me and let’s go play with his toy trucks.”

Oh, we have toys too Michael.  Nevermind.

When asked about his favorite parts of fatherhood, he dished to us:

"Those moments that you don’t catch on camera. The moments where it’s just you and him in the room, you are together as a family and you are the only people in the world that exist.”

Awwww....

 photo mimtlam1_zpsf14ccf06.jpg

Michael also starred in another relationship rom-com flick this year, About Last Night.  And if you're wondering about his take on the Venus vs. Mars schools of thought when it comes to the battle of the sexes, he believes you MUST take the time to understand the opposite sex.

“I think it is important to fully understand how the opposite sex thinks. I don’t think you can think like the opposite sex but I think you can understand how they think. And I think that can help in figuring out when compromises are needed. “

Can this man teach a class somewhere, please?

Cops in Miami have cleared Colin Kaepernick of any wrongdoing in a sexaul assault case filed against him.  Find out why authorities say he's innocent and see his response inside...

Colin Kaepernick will NOT face any charges stemming from a sexual assault case filed against him and two other NFL players in Miami, FL.

A few months ago, we told you about a woman claiming she smoked weed with the men and was intimate with Colin that night, yet "sex" did not occur. Then she said she blacked out and ended up in the hospital.  Now, The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office has announced that Colin has been "exceptionally cleared."

In official documents obtained by TMZ Sports, prosecutors determined, "There is no evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed against the complaintant."
 

Colin responded to the good news saying,

Gorgeous YBF chick Sanaa Lathan has a stalker, and he's gone as far as breaking into her home!  Read the crazy story about him falling asleep in her laundry room inside...

 

Best Man Holiday star Sanaa Lathan is being stalked by a man who's under the impression that they're married!  She does have the effect on folks.  But get this...her "imaginary" husband broke into her home AND went to sleep!

Last Friday, Sanaa took out a restraining order on 28-year-old Shawn Caples, after contractors found him asleep in her laundry room. Hmmm...was he looking for panties? 

They sent him on him way...but he came back later...once Sanaa was home.  She reportedly yelled at him, "get the f*** out of here" before calling the cops.

Then.....

He came back 3 days later and Sanaa was forced to hid in fear! Shawn is behind bars now (arrested for stalking, according to TMZ) and has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Sanaa once's he's released.

Fame is NOT for the weak chile...

NO BABY MONEY HERE: LeBron James Quietly Pockets $30 Million From Sell Of BEATS + Michael Jordan Is TECHNICALLY A Billionaire

LeBron James is set to stack $30 million from the sell of BEATS headphones.  Find out how inside, plus Michael Jordan just nabbed BILLIONAIRE status....

 

Bron Bron may be having a rough time during these NBA Finals, but his bank account surely isn't.   ESPN reports that Mr. James is about to make a $30 million profit (in cash and stocks) off the sell of BEATS headphones to Apple....and all he did was wear them.

In a recent example, while James was leading the Heat to a victory over the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, sources say the 29-year-old was finalizing what is believed to be the biggest equity cash payout for a professional athlete in history as part of Apple's recent $3 billion purchase of Beats Electronics. Sources briefed on the situation say James realized a profit of more than $30 million in cash and stock in the Beats sale after he had struck a deal to get a small stake in the company at its inception in 2008 in exchange for promoting its high-end headphones.

Now THIS is a boss move.  Signing an equity deal for a product you're probably going to wear anyway, where you in turn have some type of ownership in the product you promote.  And even with striking a deal for just 1% of the company....dude just made $11 million more than his Miami Heat salary.  Congrats!

 

 photo MichaelJordanMiamiHeatvCharlotteBobcatsYOu3oG2Kjqnl_zpsaaf438da.jpg

Speaking of money makers, Michael Jordan just made a major business move that seems to have nabbed him that billionaire status.  Forbes reports that all of MJ's NBA team (Hornets) ownership moves and his sneaker moves have paid off.  Especially his latest.

Our net worth figure for Jordan uses the $600 million figure. The Hornets have $135 million of debt, which makes Jordan’s equity in the team worth $416 million. After subtracting all the cash Jordan has invested in the team, we estimate his net worth outside of the Hornets to be $600 million, giving him a net worth of a $1 billion.

Get it!

The Internet has been a-buzz ever since a foolish petition popped up pleading for Beyonce and Jay Z to comb little Blue Ivy’s hair. And now, reality stars Syleena Johnson, Tamar Braxton and KeKe Wyatt have added their two cents. See what they said and find out the newest stop The Carters will be rolling through inside…

Seems everyone has an opinion when it comes to Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter Blue Ivy’s hair. So much so, an online petition has popped up online pleading for the power couple to comb it.  Is it possible Beyonce, who grew up in a hair salon owned by her mother, actually DOES comb Blue's hair, but like most 2 year olds, they get to twirling their hair and messing it up throughout the day?  Or are people really convinced the Carters purposely do nothing to the child's head?  Or...should a 2-year-old's hair be of this much concern to anyone period?

Now, some reality TV stars are giving their personal opinion on what the Hip Hop parents should do with Blue's natural hair.

In case you missed it, “R&B Divas” Syleena Johnson& KeKe Wyatt and “Braxton Family Values” star Tamar Braxton hit up V103’s Ryan Cameron Show to fill in for oen of the hosts and to be guests. And when they got on the topic of Blue Ivy’s mane, the three singing divas had plenty to say.

KeKe sounded off first, “Ain’t nothing wrong with being natural. I get natural, but you still got to grease natural and comb natural. Amen. And wash and condition and then you won’t have the ‘beady-age.’”

Syleena chimed in, “She’s giving me Terrence Trent D’Arby!”

Then Tamar said, “I just think it just needs product, that’s it. No shade!”

And then Syleena went left saying, “She’s giving me ODB on this one though,” referencing the late rapper Old Dirty Bastard's wild mane.

The ladies also dished on Lil Kim’s daughter’s name and baby shower and Master P losing custody of his children.

UNFAZED: Stevie J PARTIES In Atlanta As A FREE Man With Wife Joseline &“LAHH ATL” Cast

Stevie J has been released on bond and is now living it up as a free man after he was arrested for owing $1M in back child support. Stevie, along with his wife Joseline, hit up an Atlanta nightclub with his “LAHH ATL” co-stars. See their party pics inside…

 photo patclub6.jpg

Stevie J is home! And he’s super happy about it.

Last night, the “Love & Hip: ATL” cast hit up Reign nightclub in Midtown Atlanta to celebrate Stevie’s release. Stevie J, Joseline, Benzino, Karlie Redd, Lil Scrappy and Bambi partied it up by popping bottles and sharing laughs.

 photo patclub7.jpg

You’ll recall, Sleazy was busted a few days ago at his Georgia home for owing over one million dollars in back child support. Since posting his $25,000 bond on Wednesday, his attorney is denying prosecutors’ allegations that his client owes $1 million in child support.

The Associated Press caught up with the LAHH star after his release and he's excited since being set free from the big house. He said, “It feels great. I’m home with my wife. I’m just ready to get this behind me.” We bet.

 photo patclub9.jpg

 photo patclub5.jpg

And of course, his wife Joseline Hernandez was there, color coordinating (and clashing prints) with her man, to celebrate Steebie’s return.

 photo patclub2.jpg

 photo patclub3.jpg

Stevie’s business partner and friend Benzino was happy to welcome his friend home.

 photo patclub10.jpg

 photo patclub1.jpg

And Zino’s ex-Karlie Redd (rocking a white & black-trimmed VERY cut-out dress) and Joseline seemed pretty chummy with one another at the party. Wonder if they were talking about Zino's new chick Althea.  Either way, this dress choice for Karlie chile....

 photo patclub8.jpg

Joseline made sure to floss that huge rock Steebie (possibly) gave her! If Stevie can afford this investment (even though we hear she's had it since her last relationship), we’re sure he can put something down on his outstanding back child support bill.

 photo patclub4.jpg

 photo patclub12.jpg

Lil Scrappy relieved some stress as he took a few puffs. Scrappy is currently going through some financial troubles.

According to the Jasmine Brand, Scrappy owes $150,000 to a man named Chancy Hope who won a judgment against the rapper. Not only that, Scrappy also owes Heavy Rotation (a concert booking company) a total of $108,510.38 over another lawsuit. Sighs…

But his boo (or not) Bambi didn’t have any worries as she partied it up with friends.

5 Celebs Who PROBABLY Won't Be Getting A Father’s Day Gift

Father’s Day is approaching, and while some fathers will be getting showered with gifts & praise from their loved ones, we rounded up a list of fathers who likely won’t be receiving a Father’s Day.  And it's solely based on their (alleged) wack baby daddy antics this year. Find out who made the list inside….

 photo dwighthoward-1.png

First up…Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard.

We all know by now Dwight has a slew of children by various different women, but the only child he claims to date, is his son Braylon (above). He shares with former “BBW” star Royce Reed and tried, repeatedly, tossing gag orders while she shot her show.  He reportedly has five children by five different women but there are only three confirmed in other ways: Royce’s son, fitness queen Hope Alexa (who has his daughter Jayde) and his newest baby with his secret girlfriend.

Most recently, the NBA baller had a baby boy in June of 2013by a woman named Christine Vest (who he has been dating since 2011). Not sure if they’re still together after it was reported that Dwight told Christine to stay in Orlando while he plays in Houston. It was also rumored that Christine told a girlfriend that Dwight ordered her not to reveal him as the father of her son. (She does, though, post obvious hints on her Instagram.)

Remember how he tried nonstop to get Royce off of "Basketball Wives" and she wasn't even able to speak his name? And let's not forget, dude was allegedly spotted in a Florida hotel room recently with some seemingly underage girls.

As far as his children go, Royce has taken to social media to confirm her son’s siblings with Hope and Christine so we do know for sure he has at least three. As for why he only publicly claims Royce’s son is still a mystery to us. For the children’s sake, let’s HOPE this dude is providing for ALL of them financially, emotionally and physically.

 

 photo steviej.png

Next up...Stevie J.

No surprise this guy made the list. “LAHH ATL” star Stevie J (pictured above with his five children) was just busted earlier this week in his Atlanta mansion for owing over $1 million in back child support! Stevie was ordered to pay his ex-girlfriend, former record executive Carol Antoinette Bennett (whom he shares two children with) $6,600 a month in child support back in 1999. His child support amount then went up to $8,500 when he was working as a producer for Diddy’s Bad Boy record label. In 2001, money got tight and he just decided NOT to pay. Now he owes a whopping $1,107,412!

On top of that, one of his other baby mamas and co-star Mimi Faust has been very vocal about Stevie NOT supporting their daughter Eva. She claims Stevie doesn’t give her a dime to help take care of their daughter. Not to mention, he also has two other children from previous relationships. So that’s five children, four baby mamas…and allegedly no child support. Sighs…
 

 photo RKelly.png

The next dad on the list… R. Kelly.

As he travels the nation on his Black Panties tour, R. Kelly seems to too busy to be bothered with what’s currently going on in his children’s lives.

Kelly’s youngest daughter Jaya (Jay) Kelly who he shares with “Hollywood Exes” star Andrea Kelly, allegedly recently came out as transgendered. His 13-year-old daughter is in the process of transitioning from female to male and revealed he's identified as a boy since he was 6 or 7.

Jay says his mother has been super supportive of his decision but his father doesn’t even have a clue. According to him, as of three months ago, R. Kelly has been unaware of his new identity.

 

 photo matthewknowles.jpg

Papa Knowles is next on the list.

Matthew Knowles (pictured above with his new wife Gena Charmaine Avery) possibly won’t be getting a Father’s Day gift from his estranged daughters Beyonce and Solange, and he likely won’t be getting one from his adolescent son Nixon either. Papa Knowles and his baby mama Alexsandra Wright (the woman he cheated on Tina Knowles with and made a baby) have been going through a nasty child support battle ever since little Nixon was born.

Alexsandra has alleged Matthew has threatened her, leaving her afraid for her life and their son's life. She made claims that he had not paid her any child support forcing her to seek government assistance to provide for their son. At one point, Matthew was paying his share of child support but stopped after he claimed he had a finanicial hardship.

Since then, a judge sided with Matthew dropping the monthly amount of his child support payments since he claimed his annual income drastically dropped after Beyonce fired him in 2011. But beyond the money issue, Matthew still allegedly doesn’t totally acknowledge the fact that he has a son (outside of saying he's paid his support money) and still has not seen him! Sad...
 

 photo 50cent.png

And last but not least...50 Cent!

He rounds out the list for simply being a wack a** baby daddy, according to his baby's mother and his own child. You’ll recall 50 allegedly disowned his eldest son Marquise last year via text message. During the text message rant, he allegedly said, "I don’t have a son anymore...... I will have nothing to do with you. Don’t text me ever again." And questions paternity "I need a blood test cause that d*ck sucking b*tch you call mom was f*cking the hole time." Sighs...

Since their spat, 50 and Marquise have not really spoken. And when it was time for Marquise to walk across the stage to graduate from high school this year, his dad was a total no-show! Marquise was upset his father didn't witness his huge accomplishment and took to Facebook to air out his frustrations saying,"Yea I broke down , I was really excited to see my pops at my graduation today but he never showed up smh. My sister and mama is always there for me just know that you wasn't. I did it without you."  50's response was that he "didn't know" about the graduation.

Recently, 50 has embraced fatherhood again posting pictures to his Instagram of his youngest son Sire Jackson. You’ll recall 50 tried to keep Sire (whose mother is former video vixen Daphne Joy) a secret…one we didn’t even know about until she filed domestic violence charges against him. And now the domestic violence incident doesn't seem too far-fetched, since 50's first baby mama (Marquise’s mother) also claimes 50 abused her as well. Chile...

 

And then we have two dads who made the honorable mentions list, since they are pretty good fathers to their older children, but drama filled with their “break babys” and things.

Honorable Mention #1: Ludacris

 photo luda.png

Ludacris seems to have daddy-duty on lock when it comes to his eldest daughter Karma (seen above), but with his newest baby girl, he has been getting the serious side-eye.

Luda impregnated a woman named Tamika Fuller (who is said to be a friend from high school) while on a break (so he claims) from his current girlfriend Eudoxiee. Since baby Cai Bella entered the world, there has been a nasty child support and custody battle between her two parents.

Luda tried to get a cap on his child support payments to Tamika claiming he couldn’t afford the ordered amount. All while traveling the world on vacays in private hets.  THEN, he filed for custody of his daughter, demanding full physical custody AND child support from Tamika.

A Georgia judge quickly shot his request down. Tamika was granted full physical custody of their daughter Cai Bella, on the grounds that being with her mother is in the best interest of the child. Not only that, he ended up having to pay ALL of her attorney fees which totaled to $35K, plus an additional $2,000 after his motion to have Tamika found in contempt was denied. This dude...
 

Honorable Mention #2: Tyrese

 photo tyrese.png

The man who loves to preach about everyone else’s problems...

We’ve seen Ty with his daughter Shayla (whom he shares with ex-wife Norma Mitchell) on many occasions and he seems to be the perfect doting father. His ex-wife thinks otherwise.

You'll recall that Norma received a sizable alimony and child support settlement a few years ago, but now they’re going through a nasty custody battle over Shayla. 

According to Norma, Ty ditched spending time with his daughter to have fun partying in Dubai. In his defense, he said he went to Dubai on business but Norma really isn’t trying to hear it. They’re currently working out the kinks in their custody battle over their daughter.

Is Poussey From “Orange Is The New Black” DATING One Of The Show’s Writers? + Stacey Dash Has A NEW Boo…A MUCH Younger Aspiring Model

So it seems to be a case of art imitating life...possibly. Samara “Poussey” Wiley from “Orange Is The New Black” is allegedly dating one of the writers on the show. Plus, Stacey Dash has a new boy toy…and he’s around the same age as her son. Deets inside…

“Orange Is The New Black” star Poussey Washington (real name Samara Wiley) has become a fan favorite of the hit Netflix original series. And it seems she may have a new love interest…OFF set.

Enters “OITNB” writer Lauren Morelli. Lauren was previously married to her husband (who had been battling a life threatening disease) after 6-years-old of being in a committed relationship. The two tied the knot 6-months before the series began shooting. But during the taping of the show, Lauren had an “a-ha” moment and all of sudden realized…she was gay.

Soon after, she realized the lesbian storylines she was writing for the show, ultimately became her real-life truth so she decided to leave her husband.

In an open letter where she comes out of the closet, she writes, "I went through it all on set: I fell in love with a woman, and I watched my life play out on screen. I encourage you to embrace your own narrative, whatever that may be. It will be worth the effort."

Fast forward to now… it seems she has her eyes fixed on one of the actors on the show…Poussey.

Poussey and Lauren seem real chummy with one another, posting kissy pics (atop) as they celebrated Poussey's brithday and flicks of them hanging out and grabbing dinner on their Instagrams:

In the photo above, Poussey captions, “Me n @lomorelli. One of my favorite writers from @OITNB. Love you, Lo!” Hmm…

Have they found love?

Speaking of Poussey...

Poussey ditched the baggy sweatshirt and khaki slacks and got uber glam, serving up some serious model behavior for the cover of Bello Magazine. The new star dished on the drastic change in her life since “OITNB” phenomenal success and how much fun she she's having on the set, working with people she refers to as family.

Peep her sexy spread below:

And in other relationship news...

Stacey Dash has landed her a new boy toy. And dude is around the same age as her son!

The new FOX News contributor is on major cougar status after she snatched up 25-year-old budding actor Michael Evers. As you may know, Stacey has two child from previous relationships and her eldest son is 24-years-old. Mmhmm…

The 47-year-old actress was spotted on a morning hike with her new boy toy in L.A. recently (above) showing off her killer abs. Michael seems to have a thing for older women since he was previously linked to “Mob Wives: Chicago” star Nora Schweihs.

A source told the Daily Mail,

“Michael is the Ashton Kutcher of West Hollywood – he’s already dated Nora Schweihs from Mob Wives and she was a LOT older than him! But he really likes Stacey and he’s taken her hiking and to the Sunset Tower Hotel and she’s taking him with her to New York next month.”
 

Well alright...

While daughter Shaniece Hairston was celebrating her 21st Birthday at The Venetian in Las Vegas last night, reality star Evelyn Lozada made a surprise appearance....with a new Mercedes Benz G550 in tow:

Stevie J's New York Property At Risk of Getting SNATCHED Over Failure To Pay Child Support

When it rains, it pours.  Not only was Stevie J. arrested in Georgia for his outstanding $1 million child support bill last week, but once he posted bail and started popping bottles, news surfaced that the state of New York is ready to confiscate his property!

 

Deets inside...

Since "LAHH ATL" star Stevie J doesn't seem to be concerned about paying off his $1.2 million child support debt, and would rather pop expensive bottles of champagne in the club, the state of New York is ready to snatch up his property to pay the bill.

And it doesn't help he has an ADDITIONAL four--yes, four--income tax liens due to owing the Feds close to $400,000.

According to reports:

TMZ has obtained documents issued by the state informing Stevie it now has the power to seize any property he owns. Interestingly, the state sent Stevie 4 separate notifications between 2011 and 2013 ... all of which he apparently ignored.

TMZ broke the story, Stevie was arrested Monday at his home in Georgia for failing to pay the support.

This guy's also an alleged deadbeat with the IRS -- we've learned there are FOUR income tax liens against him totaling $371,000.

So you ignore four notifications about taxes, but make sure you spend time paying for plenty of new body parts on your wife, a new restaurant (which we hear is ALREADY shut down), and parties?

Foolywang material....
