Pay up, deadbeat. Rich people need to pay their share, too.

@Sunne-Ah but it does matter why there is a tax lien. The IRS is judge, jury, and executioner; there is no trial before the IRS decides it wants to file a lien, it just does it if it feels it has the grounds to. There are many times the IRS will file liens based on incomplete information particularly in complicated tax matters. Owning taxes, in and of itself, is not a crime; it is usually a civil matter. A court, and only a court, can made that determination. There is no mention in any of the stories that any criminal prosecution is current in the works in this matter.

@concreteman - It makes no difference if he is guilty or innocent of rape, if he owes taxes and did not pay, he is a criminal. I only mentioned guilt or innocence because of the comments made about how he is innocent and should be left alone. Did you read my comment? Never mentioned why he has a tax lien; it's not important; just the fact that he does and has not paid taxes.

As usual, incomplete report. Kathy, get it together and put some facts in here! Aren't you an entertainment writer? Go back and recaption your Bon Jovi photos.

Since when would their settlement be taxable, as the article seems to imply (but not outright, either)?

If you are already wealthy, how hard is it to pay your taxes in a timely manner...did you NOT learn anything from MC Hammer!!??? I mean seriously!
