Faye Facing Eviction!

fayewenn2581420.jpg

Oh no!

Sources are claiming that legendary actress Faye Dunaway is facing eviction for allegedly not paying her rent!

A notice was tacked up on the door of her Manhattan apartment nearly a month ago and the landlord is asking her to pay up the $1920 in back rent.

So far, there has been no word from Faye on the subject and now the property managers are going to the NY County Civil Court.

Either she pays up or she is kicked out!

Yikes!

She can't afford 2k???

ANOTHER Michael Jackson Creditor!!!

mj-wenn__opt11__opt11__opt1.jpg

This is completely out of control!

A claim was filed on Thursday stating that the people who installed Michael Jackson's TV and sound system in Neverland were not reimbursed for their services!

Considering the bills have gone unpaid since 2003, they should have thought about this earlier!!!

Video & Audio Center claim that they installed electronic audio and video equipment such as plasma TVs and speakers along with rewiring the entire house.

Supposedly, they won a judgement in 2007 for the $$$$, but Jackson only paid $25,000 on a $109,540.85 bill. VAC are now asking for the remaining balance plus interest totaling $128,482.77.

Yikes!

That's what you get when you don't pay your taxes!!!

Antwan Andre Patton, better know as the Outkast raper Big Boi, is in trouble with the U.S Government for apparently skipping out on paying his taxes.

It has been reported that he owes $55,727 and that since June, a lien has been filed against him and his wife.

Uncle Sam doesn't mess around, Antwan. Time to stop being a boi and start being a man.

Pay up!!!

If You Don't Want To Go To Jail, Pay Your Taxes!

aweswenn5320589.jpg

Take note all you celebs cheating on your taxes: you maybe be smart, but Uncle Sam is smarter!

Just ask Wesley Snipes, whose lawyers are desperately trying to have the court repeal their "unreasonable" three-year prison sentence for the film star, who was convicted a year ago on federal tax charges.

The actor is free on bail now, but he was convicted in April 2008 and received the maximum penalty for refusing to pay the government the $2.7 million he owed in back taxes.

His attorneys appeared before a judge in Atlanta this morning without Snipes and argued that the sentence was too harsh and "focused too heavily on deterrence." They also argued that Snipes was not given a hearing to discuss moving the trial to New York.

Too late now!

Things don't look too good for you, Blade!

Adnan Going To Jail!

wenn1761137adnan__opt.jpg

And he'll probably be forced to rid himself of those trademark facial hair designs!!!

Brit Brit's ex, Adnan Ghalib is headed to the slammer!

After pleading no contest to leaving the scene of accident after hitting a process server with his car, he will serve 45 days and be placed on formal probation for 36 months.

Not to mention those 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of hard labor with Caltrans!!!

Hope his photog friends will be there to document those orange jumpsuits!

Ha!

Jon Gosselin To Get Sued Again

jg__opt11__opt1.jpg

Jon Gosselin just won't go away.

Recently we mentioned how the idiot wrote a "contract" with his former whore fling Kate Major to make her his personal assistant and she'd get a percentage of his profits.

This, of course, was while he was still under contract with TLC.

And lately Kate's been considering suing the douche for breach of contract (hah, ironic), fraud, and loss of wages.

But John's not scared. According to his attorney, Mark Heller, they think the whole thing is laughable.

Heller reveals, “Kate knows Jon Gosselin is like Obama’s stimulus package. Every time she needs money, she cashes in on the few days she knew Jon Gosselin.”

Preach it!

Heller also confirmed that the signed agreement between Jon and Kate is real, but added that it doesn't hold much legal value.

Says Heller:

“It holds as much order as a six-inch pail with a nine-inch hole. It will not serve for the basis of any litigation. Anybody who would seek to file a lawsuit based on that document would be sanctioned. Her lawyer was very cautious in his language when he said ‘possible’ [breach of contract lawsuit]. Clearly he has no options concerning that matter.”

Sounds like Jon might have just written that note up to get some ass.

Desperate!

John Kerry On Daughter's Arrest!

kerry.jpg

After the arrest of his daughter, Alexandra, Senator John Kerry released a statement regarding the incident in which she was booked for a possible DUI!

His spokeswoman, Jodi Seth, says:

"Alexandra Kerry was pulled over for an expired registration and was released after the results of a breathalyzer test at the police station were under the legal limit. Senator Kerry supports his daughter and will have no further comment on a private matter."

Guess his disappointment is for family ears only!

According to Police Sgt. Enrique Mendoza, Alexandra was pulled over by officers "for a DUI investigation" and "identified herself as Sen. Kerry's daughter."

Daddy can't get you outta this one!!!

Redmond O'Neal Needs To Step It Up!

wenn5188737ro.jpg

Redmond O'Neal, the son of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett, is currently in residential treatment at Impact and apparently he isn't participating as much as he should be!

The judge heard this in Redmond's progress report and he wasn't pleased saying, "I thought this kid wanted to do something. He isn't working as hard as he can."

Uh, oh!

Raymond May, a rep from Impact, pointed out that because Redmond "did a massive amount of drugs for years" that his emotional growth was "stunted…and he is just coming out of that."

Redmond said that he has been sober for 9 months and agreed that while he hasn't been doing as well as he should have, he is also grieving the loss of his mother. He's now due back in court on December 2 and the judge warned him:

"The report better be glowing, or there will be consequences."

Yikes!

He better heed the judge's warning or Redmond could be sporting an orange jumpsuit pretty soon!

Sen. John Kerry's Daughter Arrested!

ap0603120216074.jpg

Daddy's going to be mad about this one!

Senator John Kerry's daughter was just busted earlier this morning on suspicion of DUI!!!

Alexandra Forbes Kerry was pulled over for a traffic stop in Hollywood at around 12:40am after the 36-year-old apparently violated a traffic law.

The cops then did a field sobriety test and it appeared she was under the influence, so they arrested her. However, when asked if she wanted to take a preliminary alcohol screening test, she refused.

NOT a good sign.

The cops then took her to the station and conducted a formal blood alcohol test, which showed she was at .06, below the California legal limit of .08.

Kerry was booked at LAPD's Hollywood station and released at 5:25am today.

Lucky break for Kerry!
