Take heart, America. Even celebrities pay taxes on April 15.

Well, sometimes.

Nicolas Cage’s bookkeeping got a bit muddled, and now he has to shell out $13.3 million to the federal government.

Joe Francis, founder of “Girls Gone Wild,” forgot, too. His tab? $29.4 million -- or roughly 5 million margaritas.

Sinbad the Comedian? A very unfunny $8.15 million, which doesn't even include interest and legal fees.

How about they check out our government officials including anyone that is on the taxpayers payroll?

I bet they owe big time too! Geithner, Rangel come to mind!

You should see the s—t Cage buys with his money. Rare comic books, ninja swords, and Disney statues. No wonder he can’t pay Uncle Sam.

“The criminal cases are hard to pursue because the defendant’s intent to defraud the government must be proven,...”
If I’m ever on a jury for this so called defrauding the govt I will vote Not Guilty.
How the hell do you “defraud the govt” when it’s yours to begin with. The only people that ought to be going to jail for fraud are the feds.
