does multinomial logistic model from multinom (nnet) has logLik?

I want to get the logLik to calculate McFadden.R2 ,ML.R2 and
Cragg.Uhler.R2, but the value from multinom does not have logLik.So my
quetion is : is logLik meaningful to multinomial logistic model from
multinom?If it does, how can I get it?

From the help page:

Value:

      A 'nnet' object with additional components:

deviance: the residual deviance.

So it has a residual deviance.  That is -2 log Lik in many cases (but not
if the argument 'summ' is used)

Thank you!

ps: I konw  VGAM has function to get the multinomial logistic model
with  logLik,  but I prefer use the function from "official" R
packages .
