Dr. Dre Agrees To Fork Over Millions To Estranged Wife

Dr. Dre, who recently suffered a brain aneurysm, has bigger things to worry about than his contentious divorce from his estranged wife Nicole Young.

Perhaps that's why he agreed to give her a one-time payment of $2 million to tide her over until their next divorce hearing in April.  He refused to cough over the $5 million she wanted for her lawyers.

Dre and Nicole were supposed to meet in person in court yesterday but Dre couldn't show up because of his medical condition so he signed the deal from his hospital bed.

Dre had been paying about $300,000 a month.   When they head back to court in April, he will argue that he wants to continue paying that sum whereas Nicole will counter that she needs $2 million every month.
