Too bad a defibrillator can't resuscitate Mekhi Phifer's finances!

Former ER star Mekhi filed for bankruptcy last month, as he's apparently in debt for roughly $1.3 million!

Meanwhile, Mekhi only claims $67,000 in assets, and according to legal docs, he spends $11,600 a month, while only raking in $7,500!

Hold on, where's our TI-89? Because that does not seem like it adds up to wise spending practices!

Apparently, he owes $1.2 million in back taxes, $50,000 for his legal fees, and $4,500 in back child support!

His list of assets are pretty eclectic, and include a leather bed, a 12-year-old Segway worth $1,500 (just need almost 1,000 more of those), and quite a large amount of guns, including a shotgun and two pistols!

We hope Mekhi gets out of his debt! It's so sad to see people under financial strain!

What is sad is to see someone who is making too much money not know how to handle it and still continues to live beyond his means and now is looking for BK court to fix it. Well, a BK can't fix problems with the IRS…..Shame on him

Blake Lively Sent Ryan Reynolds The Most Cryptic Tweet Of All Time! What Could All These Emojis Mean?!

What do these emojis even mean?!

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are notoriously private about their lives, so you can imagine the freakout we all had when the actress sent her hubby this tweet!

At face value, the text just reads of three emojis, but we suspect there's a deeper meaning to it all.

An inside joke, if you will!

Here's what Blake sent her hunky husband on Twitter:
