He’s had a tax lien against him for unpaid taxes from 2006 for $91,105.61, 2008 for $15,279.62, and now 2010 for $19,70.91.  None of them have been paid off.  His total tax debt now totals a staggering $126,086.14. How can you let your money get out of hand, he must be young, dumb and full of …..peanuts!

The records show A.I. never responded to the lawsuit . so a default judgement was issued in favor of the jewelry store allowing A&C to collect $859,896.46 for the bling, court costs, interest and attorneys fees. But Iverson still didn’t pay so earlier this month the judge signed off on an order which allows the store to recoup their loss directly from Iverson’s Wells Fargo bank account.

A source close to Simon told Deadline.com that all three personalities were asked to leave the show.

There is no word yet on the fate of mentor L.A. Reid, but it is assumed that he will continue next season. And there is no word yet on who Fox might replace the ousted three with next season.

That’s exactly the scenario that happened to Joe Green. The Harvard graduate turned down Zuckerberg’s offer of getting in on the ground floor of Facebook because the two had gotten into some hot water with Harvard with a previous project and the school had threatened him with expulsion.

“We’d gotten into a little bit trouble with the previous project … and my father, who’s a professor, was not too happy with the prospect of me getting kicked out of school,” Green told ABC News. “Zuckerberg likes to make fun of my dad for this, but we’re still very close.”

Rather than joining Zuckerberg and heading to Silicon Valley to develop Facebook, he followed his passion for politics and worked for John Kerry’s failed 2004 presidential campaign.

Now you could say he’s sort of back in the Facebook family. He runs a for-profit business called Causes, a Facebook application and website that lets friends suggest to friends a charity, social cause or even a political candidate. The stated goal of Causes is “to empower anyone with a good idea or passion for change to impact the world.”

Green says Causes Facebook page has 6.5 million active monthly users and his company has helped raise $50 million for 50,000 charities.

The New York Times has reported that Causes received $9 million in venture capital financing, bringing its total financing to $16 million. So, he’s not doing too bad for himself… but just imagine if he’d said YES to Zuckerberg.

Green says he has no regrets. Luckily he does have plenty of Facebook stock.

“Donovan” analyzed the lyrics of Cube’s 1993 song “It Was a Good Day”, until he determined the exact day that the song was about.

According to his research, January 20th, 1992 is the only day where:

1.)  “Yo! MTV Raps” was on air.

2.)  It was a clear and smogless day in Los Angeles.

3.)  Beepers were commercially available.

4.)  The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Seattle SuperSonics.

5.)  And Ice Cube had no events to attend, and was free to chill.

Fortunately, this guy “showed his work.”  If you’d like to see the breakdown of his thought-process, hit up MurkAvenue.tumblr.com.  WARNING:  Contains UNCENSORED PROFANITY.)

Ice Cube has not responded.

But back in the day, he had this to say about the song:  Quote, “The inspiration was my life at the time . . . I was at the top of the rap game.  It was the summer of ’92 and I was in a hotel room, really in a state of euphoria.

“I had all the money I had dreamed of.  I was in a good frame of mind.  And I remember thinking, ‘Okay, there’s been the riots, people know I will deal with that.  That’s a given.  But I rap all this gangsta stuff, what about all the good days I had?”

Full Story:

Right now on eBay, you can bid on the 2005 Chrysler 300 that used to be owned by PRESIDENT OBAMA.  It was the car he used when he was a senator in Illinois, and it comes with the title showing the vehicle was in his name.

The car has 20,800 miles on it.  And as the description says, Obama, quote, “perhaps drove the car in Washington D.C. and back to Chicago.”

The seller says he got it from a car dealer back when Obama was still a senator.

The starting bid is $1 MILLION and the auction runs through Wednesday.  You have to be a pre-approved buyer to be able to bid . . . and so far, the auction has received zero bids.
