Oh my gosh...he's a celebrity...hurry...save him...give him stimulus money...we can't let this happen.
Maybe he should hire Acorn to manage his accounts they have all the tricks of the trade.

WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAA, I really feel sorry for him, NOT!
Here is a good example of why celebs need to shut their mouth and not try to tell anyone elese what they should and should not do. They cant even control what happens in their own life why should we listened to them?

Many rich people have had very poor money managers looking after their investments, and the collapse of the economy overall because of the Democrats handling of the subprime mortgage industry caused many Americans to forget about movie night and do something else. Too bad for the liberal celebutards. They might just have to go get a real job. Oooops, Obama's administration has assured there aren't any to spare. Maybe Tax Cheat Geithner can give him some pointers on using TurboTax or Charlie Rangel can advise him on real estate investments and how to avoid paying taxes on them.

I have neven had to live in my car, but I know where you are coming from. He can blame it on his manager but it is his own fault in the end.With all the money he had in the past its a shame he couldnt control it better. HA!

Or people not having the money to go to them which will just get worse if the Crap and Tax and Health Care debacles are foisted onto Americans.

I do remember hearing about Nicholas Cage looking at an island to buy about a year ago. You would have thought he would have found some issues while considering this. There, no politics

He should have taken tax evasion tips from Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd and Tim Gietner.

If people lack wisdom in their finances or any other area it can be devastating. David Tyre (NFL player) made a statement the I believe to be very true. When you don't know what money is for it intensifies every dark place in your life. You need wisdom and make sure you're doing business with people that have your best interest at heart.
luigi1-... to p31woman November 04, 2009 11:13:10

many of us need wisdom too. i lost a bundle like everyone else in my 401k.
p31woman to luigi1-... November 04, 2009 22:14:02 (edited)

Everyone needs wisdom but maybe I should clarify . I am talking about the wisdom of God. The kind of wisdom that warns you and gives you that feeling in your gut when something is not right, or having instructions about something that you know came from another source other than yourself.
One time I was having a disagreement with my husband about leaving the church where we both got saved, he said he didn't feel like he was growing spiritually anymore. God began to deal with me although my flesh was trying to rebel, I was determined to be submitted to the will of God. We moved to Texas, some friends we worked and went to church with in Chicago were visiting; we asked how things were going at church and they told us. Apparently right after we left the pastor divorced his wife and remarried and things at the church just feel apart. The pastor stopped ministering. God began to reveal to us that He placed the dissatisfaction in my husband's heart so that we would not be at that church when all the confusion happened. We had only been saved about 3 yrs and that could have done terrible damage to our faith.
Anyway that's just one example, I had many others since then.

well, we all make mistakes. with a tax record like that maybe he can work for obama.
divajinx to Nate November 03, 2009 23:08:32

Work for Obama?!? Heck, he's probably one of those stupid celebs who endorsed him all along.....and now he's paying for it! I can't say I feel sorry for him - I'm broke myself - but he's got talent; he'll recover nicely.

First off, I didn't know he was Hollywood's top paid actor. I mean he's a good actor, but I don't think he's THAT great.
Even though I don't really really like this guy ( i mean he's real good but he's not my fave) it sucks either way.

Stupid government. Always takin' our money. Suckin' us dry.
NathanB... to Christine November 04, 2009 01:59:49

I don't believe he is the highest paid actor. Not long ago, I heard Charlie Sheen was.

Okay smartass...I don't care about anything in Hollywood, or the asses who occupy it. I heard that comment made several weeks ago on the radio, which I wasn't paying that much attention to. To call me dumb, at least I can write a proper sentence...what's your excuse?
