La Toya Jackson Losing Home
When it’s news from the Jackson family these days, it’s usually not good.
Michael Jackson’s older sister, La Toya, is about to lose her luxurious condo in Las Vegas, Nevada. The property is located in the Regency Towers of Las Vegas International Country Club. She reportedly owes $745,670.27 on a home she paid $260,000 for back in 1996, according to TMZ.
Yep, she tripled her money on the refinance and is now heading for the hills — she apparently had all her personal effects packed up and shipped elsewhere last month.
No wonder we’re in the midst of an epic financial crisis.
Anyway, La Toya has to come up with the cash by the end of the month or she’s going to lose this Las Vegas hot spot. Don’t hold your breath.
The Clark County Recorder’s office has a scheduled auction date for the condo on September 30. We may see more of this after Michael Jackson has died since the money has officially run out. He was a big part of why the family had so much money in the first place.
Debbie Gibson home in LA avoids foreclosure; Plastic surgeons rejoice
Honk honk!
Debbie Gibson and her sweet surgically-maintained 39-year-old body have dodged the dreaded foreclosure bullet.
Big Time Listings reports that the 1980s-era pop tart unloaded her 1,733-square-foot lemon in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills — located at 1522 Forest Knoll Drive — for $900,000 in a short sale transaction.
That’s $375,000 less than what she paid for the quaint two-bedroom love shack back in 2005.
The good news is that the bank gets stuck with the loss, ensuring Gibson is able to keep spending freely on silicone, suction and such to keep her electric youth and doesn’t get lost in your eyes.
Only in my dreams could I imagine that anything is possible like this. I’m losin’ myself at the thought … what a foolish beat.
The financial problems of Dr. Conrad Murray Continue
Dr. Conrad Murray just can’t get a break. Murray, the main man of interest in the death of Michael Jackson, is seeing more and more financial trouble as he becomes a household name. Apparently, Dr. Murray has now been hit with a tax lien for not paying back his student loans.
Dr. Conrad Murray was injected with a tax lien from the U.S. District Court in Nevada. Murray is default by more than $58,000 dollars with interest pilling up to almost $12,000. The company that gave him the loan, Sallie Mae, wants their money and wants it now.
Housewife of Orange County Eviction
When one housewife falls, so does another.
Lynne Curtin from “Real Housewives of Orange County” received a three-day eviction notice for a home she and her husband rent in Laguna Beach. If she doesn’t come up with $12,000 in this time, she’s out.
Curtin and her husband apparently owe the owner of the home $10,000 for the security deposit and another $2,000 for some other fees. The owner of the Laguna Beach home has turned off the utilities in the home since she and her husband didn’t pay for those either.
I wonder if our next article will be about another housewife …
California is after Chris Tucker for back taxes
The star of the Hollywood film, “Rush Hour,” Chris Tucker, has been facing some tax issues with the state of California. He apparently owes the bankrupt state more than $3.5 million dollars in back taxes. Tucker owes state taxes for 2001-2002 and 2004-2007. The lien was filed in a Sacramento County Court last week.
Tucker is well-known for his role with Jackie Chan in “Rush Hour” but has also starred in a ton of other roles which banked him millions. Those films include Friday, The Fifth Element, Dead Presidents, Panther, Money Talks, and House Party 3.
According to The Detroit News, Chris Tucker has not made any comments about the lien the state has filed against him.
