May 21 -- Rapper Eminem has an extra incentive to keep pumping out the hits now that he and wife Kim are divorcing.

The pair are working out the details of their split, and it's expected to carry a big price tag for the rapper.

They estranged couple previously announced they would share custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade. Now, a Michigan circuit court has recommended that 'Em handle 90 percent of the child-care costs.

A judge is suggesting the bleached-blond star pay about $142,000 per year in child support. According to the The Macomb Daily, that equals $2,740 per week.

Smile, You're on 'N Sync's Camera

No stranger to the flashbulbs and paparazzi, pop singers 'N Sync have decided to use their photogenic skills to raise funds for charity.

They and Fuji Film are out with a disposable 'N Sync camera featuring images of the band on the packaging. The cameras will be sold at concerts along their Popodyssey summer tour, and will no doubt help their rabid teen fans capture the moment and prove they were at an 'N Sync concert.

A dollar from the sale of each camera will go toward the band's Challenge for the Children charity.

Metallica's New Addition

Lars Ulrich may have to keep his headbanging out of the house for a little while.

Now if Ulrich could find himself another band member Metallica has been recording new tracks without a bassist since Jason Newstead left the band.
