A crime is a crime, Alec!

30 Rock super-stud Alec Balwdin sat down with our-favorite-CNN-anchor-whose-name-doesn't-rhyme-with-Schmanderson-Schmooper last night, and their topic of debate was Stevie Wonder Stevie's blunder!

Stephen Baldwin was arrested earlier this week for a repeated failure to properly file his income tax returns, so Piers Morgan brought Alec into the studio to document the family's side of the story!

Ch-ch-check out the Glengarry Glen Ross star vehemently defending his bro by blaming a callous and overly-critical media for blowing the whole FELONY arrest out of proportion (above)!

So, Stephen didn't pay his taxes because he was victimized by a cruel media? Hmmm… That's one way to look at it!

Cheating the government out of tax revenue is far less heinous than rape or murder, but it is still a crime!

It isn't a g'day for Paul Hogan.

The Crocodile Dundee star flew into his native Australia on Friday to attend the funeral of his mother, Flo. Now, it seems he won't be able to leave the country as the nation's tax office has ordered that he pay his overdue tax bill.

According to sources, upon arriving in Sydney, Paul was immediately issued a Departure Prohibition Order, which prevents him leaving the country until he pays an alleged tax debit of over $12 million!

Yikes! Time to lawyer up, Dundee! Also, you might as well get comfortable in Sydeny. Doesn't look like you are going anywhere for awhile!

And this isn't the first time!

Two weeks before he decision to run for president of Haiti, the IRS filed a $2.1 million tax lien on Wyclef Jean after he fell behind on payments.

Considering he's already been accused of mishandling $$$$ meant for his Yele Haiti charity, this may put a snag in his candidacy.

Although Wyclef insists that everything is being taken care of!

He said:

"I have great lawyers, and I have great business people that work with me… There is no situation of Wyclef Jean that we will ignore. We respect the IRS very much… Any personal Wyclef matters are being handled as we speak. Everything is paid up."

Riiiiiight.
