'diva' Kelis Faces Irs Action.... Singer Kelis is being branded a "diva" and could be reported to the American Irs (Internal Revenue Service) after turning up late to a party and then only performing two songs.The Milkshake star - who is married to rapper Nas - was due to appear at the White Party in Palm Springs, California over the Easter weekend but turned up two hours late.One production source tells The New York Post, "Kelis demanded her $25,000 payment up front in cash. But then she didn't perform. Someone needs to alert the Irs - because we know she won't."Kelis blames "unsuitable conditions" for her actions and issued a statement saying, "Because of her love for her fans, Kelis made the decision to take to the stage, against any advice not to do so."But the party organisers are fuming after Kelis reportedly forced her rehearsal stand-in to lip-sync over one of her tracks.Festival rep, Phil Lobel says, "Bottom line is the audience wanted to know where Kelis was and why this model was singing her song. (Kelis) didn't even care."
