Hey Joe Francis, it's me Uncle Sam.
So remember when I filed that $33 million tax lien against you in November 2009? And remember how I filed papers last month saying it was all forgotten and you owed me nothing?
Um, yeah, about that ... my bad! Turns out you still really do owe me a huge chunk of change. I had the Department of Treasury file papers last week saying we released you from that tax lien ... by mistake. Whoopsies!!!
But there is some good news ... you don't owe me the full $33 million -- I only want $29,393,681.45. So if you can just write me a check, that would be awesome.
Thanks,
Uncle Sam

Remember when Suge Knight had money? The government sure does ... and they want over $6 mil from the former rap mogul.
According to court docs, a tax lien originally filed in 2003 -- against Suge's 1996 tax return -- was re-filed again in January to the tune of $6,578,696.31. 2Pac better put out a new album STAT!!!!
Suge's baby mama filed child support papers against Suge in January which revealed Suge's net income is only $1,207 a month.
So don't hold your breath, Uncle Sam.
Calls to Suge's people were not returned.

That tax lien against Arnold Schwarzenegger -- consider it terminated.
According to documents filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court, the Governator has settled his tax issues with the government -- and the $79,064 lien against him is no longer in play.
Arnold's rep previously stated that the Guv was unaware of any problems with the IRS and insisted the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
It's unclear if Arnold ended up paying the lien or had it dismissed -- what is clear is that he's no longer in debt to Uncle Sam.
Arnold's people put out a statement saying the tax lien was the fault of a computer glitch.

Jon and Kate Gosselin are finally free to start tappin' again -- because someone finally paid their outstanding water bill.
As TMZ previously reported, a tax lien was filed against the Gosselins after Lancaster County claimed they owed $2,691.75 in city water charges.
But according to new court documents filed last week, the Gosselins are finally in the clear -- because someone finally forked over the cash.
One problem down -- about 30 billion to go.

Nicolas Cage got an expensive New Year's gift from Uncle Sam -- a bill for $6.7 million in MORE allegedly unpaid back taxes.
According to a federal tax lien filed on December 31, 2009 -- Cage owes $6,712,821.99 in unpaid taxes for 2008.
According to Sam Levin, Cage's former financial manager -- who's in a legal war with Nic over the massive financial collapse -- by 2008, the actor had "15 palatial homes around the world, four yachts, a Gulfstream jet and millions of dollars in jewelry and art." Cage claims Levin was incompetent and underhanded and sunk Cage's financial ship.
As TMZ first reported,Cage is on the hook for $6,617,550.84 he owed for debts in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2007 -- making his new grand total $13,330,372.83.
It's unclear on how Cage will pay up -- due to the fact that Nic has described his own financial state as "catastrophic."
UPDATE: Nicolas Cage just gave TMZ the following statement: "Over the course of my career I have paid at least $70 million in taxes. Unfortunately, due to a recent legal situation, another approximate $14 million is owed to the IRS, however, I am under new business management and am happy to say that I am current for 2009. All taxes will be paid including any to be determined state taxes."

Jon and Kate Gosselin aren't the only ones haggling over their property ... we've confirmed a tax lien was slapped on the happy couple's Pennsylvania homestead to the tune of $2,691.75.
It seems the Gosselins had a water problem -- specifically, an unpaid "water tapping fee" for the home they have in Lancaster County. The fee is for tapping into the city water line.
The lien is not on the new house -- it's on the old one they still own, according to myfoxphilly.com.

The IRS wants some serious "Girls Gone Wild" money, because they've filed a lien against Joe Francis for a whopping $33,819,087.14 ... this according to documents obtained by TMZ.
The Federal Tax Lien doc was filed today. The IRS claims Joe owes the money for 3 years of back taxes -- 2001, 2002 and 2003. In 2001, the IRS says Joe didn't pay $17,658,358. In 2002, the delinquency is $11,238,582.14, and in 2003, he owes $4,922,147.
It was less than 2 weeks ago that Joe got out of a sticky federal tax evasion case by copping a plea and avoiding prison.
Joe told TMZ, "I have no idea what it is." He says he does not owe the money and, "This is total retaliation for me beating them in court." Joe says the law the IRS is using hasn't been used against anyone in 20 years.
Joe says yesterday, the feds seized more than $100,000,000 in cash accounts of his.
Joe says the IRS is forcing him to file for personal bankruptcy, which he will do tomorrow.

Kelis isn't the only person trying to get money from Nas -- turns out Uncle Sam is too!
TMZ has obtained a federal tax lien filed last month against Nas for a whopping $2,584,206.31. Looks like Nas didn't pay his taxes in 2006 and 2007.
Nas is currently involved in a bitter divorce battle with Kelis. Looks like she'll have to wait in line.

Dustin Diamond needs to be saved by the bill, as in dollar, because he's been accused of owing the Department of Revenue some serious cash.
We got a hold of a tax lien filed in January in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin -- showing Screech owes $21,015.62 in unpaid taxes. An Ozaukee County court clerk told us as of two days ago, it still hasn't been paid.
We hear the t-shirt business is booming this time of year.

Nicolas Cage makes tons of money making movies, so why does he owe the state of Louisiana $6.2 million?
Cage was slapped with a federal tax lien last month. He owns a house there, which is currently on the market for $3.55 million.
If Nic takes that cash and gives it right over to Louisiana, he'll only owe another $2.65 mil -- but he'll still owe everyone that saw "Bangkok Dangerous" 99 minutes of their life back.
His rep had no comment.

The Accused: Sharon Osbourne
The Debt: $23,363.16
The Story: According to the State of California, Osbourne was fined nearly $50k for not paying her 2007 taxes -- a year in which she owed $436,026.
She eventually forked over a majority of the cash, but Arnold and Co. claim she's still on the hook for more than $23k.
Meanwhile, California is running a $24 billion deficit.
So, thanks Sharon.

The State of California might need to go medieval on Ving Rhames' ass.
Turns out Ving had a tax lien slapped on him last month by the state of California. Including penalties, interest and collection fees, Ving owes $191,828.71.
Ving might have an influx of cash coming in -- the house he owned where his caretaker died of a heart attack after being chased around by Ving's dogs is currently up for sale. It hasn't moved yet -- wonder why?

Billy Baldwin and his wife Chynna Phillips have dug a serious hole with the California Tax Board --as in they owe around $40k.
We've obtained a tax lien, filed last month, showing the couple owes The State $39,561.79 from 2007.
He ain't the only celebrity in the hole to CA -- Snoop owes $284k and Xzibit owes a more than half a mil.
No wonder California is broke!
