THE TAX MAN COMETH? Paula Patton & Robin Thicke Owe Almost $500K In Back Taxes


Paula's new Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol movie may have raked in $188M and counting at the box office, but maybe she hasn't received her cut of her salary. Because she and her crooner hubby are seriously behind on their taxes.


According to the Detroit News (who has become infamous for outing folks and their tax issues), the IRS filed a $492,583 tax lien against Paula Patton and Robin Thicke on Dec. 28 with the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds. Protect the Internet.....

The address on file is a P.O. Box, but the Hollywood couple does have a sizable home in Santa Monica.
Paula also cashed in on her recent box office hits Jumping The Broom and Precious. While Robin just released his fifth studio album, Love After War, last month.
And it doesn't appear that they deliberately avoided paying the taxes. Their rep said this weekend:
“They were just made aware of the issue and it is being taken care of immediately."
Somebody on their accounting team is getting fired...

Halle and Nahla go to Disnelyland with Oliver for his 46th Birthday!
After two failed marriages and a high profile break up with her daughter's father, it looks like Halle Berry may have finally found her Prince Charming.
The 45-year-old spent a fairytale afternoon with her three-year-old daughter Nahla Aubrey and her rumoured fiance Olivier Martinez, at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

The mother-of-one was still slightly incapacitated after a break in her left foot from last year had recently reoccurred and she was still wearing what is thought to be an engagement ring on her wedding finger.
Unable to walk properly she made her restricted movement a little more fun by letting Nahla and her friend jump on to her lap and hitch a ride.
The Catwoman star tried to remain incognito and wore a green cap with a pair of large sunglasses but her reported emerald engagement ring was still on.
She looked like any other parent enjoying a day out in the theme park dressed casually in a green jacket with a fur lined hood and ripped blue jeans.
Olivier was also trying to keep a low profile and wore violet coloured Reebok baseball cap with jeans and a brown suede jacket.

The 46-year-old model has been bonding with Halle's only child, Nahla, and is regularly pictured caring for the three-year-old alone with his girlfriend.
The Frenchman was even seen buying three Minnie Mouse balloons for the little girl and later on in the day he picked her up to watch the parade go by.
Nahla, who is the daughter of Halle's ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, got her face painted and was joined by a young family friend for the day out.
While Olivier had fun riding the Space Mountain, Nahla drove a car with her mother at Utopia.
Due to her foot injury Halle was limited in the amount of rides she could go on but she made the most of her mobility scooter and whizzed through the park with Nahla and her young friend tagging along for the ride.
Despite many reports that Halle and Olivier are engaged neither party has confirmed it as yet, however, Kylie Minogue, who used to date the hunky model, certainly seems to think they are betrothed.
The Austrailian singer wrote on Twitter: 'Congrats to Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry!! #wedding.'
Website TMZ reported that the ring was a present from Mr Martinez but it is simply a sign of a 'committed relationship'.


OK’ SKOOL HIP HOP CLASSIC BEEF; MC SHAN VS MARLEY MARL?
In 1988, the Juice Crew released "The Symphony," which stands as one of the most beloved posse cuts of its era. The song features Big Daddy Kane, Craig G, Kool G Rap and Masta Ace and it was released on Marley Marl's In Control, Volume 1 album. A few years ago, Masta Ace shared his take on why MC Shan did not appear on the song. Shan did not make a comment at the time, but is now responding to what Ace shared, explaining his reasons for not appearing on "The Symphony." In this video interview he uploaded to his own YouTube channel, Shan also alleges that Marley has not paid emcees and that he's taken credit for beats he didn't produce.

The interview comes as a response to the aforementioned Masta Ace interview, in which Ace shared his take on why MC Shan did not appear on "The Symphony." According to Ace (in the interview from 2008), Marley Marl told him that Shan did not appear on it because he felt he would have been "playing himself" to be on the same song as "new jacks" at the time. In response, Shan claimed this is not true.
"Let me address that. I know this is something old I'm touching on," he shared in the interview. "What y'all gotta understand is I knew Marley Marl and I've done songs with him that I didn't get paid for. So, I can understand Ace for listening to that crap Marley was tellin' him but if y'all know me, I was never one to say nothin' on the side, behind your back. If I felt something about you, I was gonna say it to your face."
"It wasn't because Shan didn't wanna be on that record that Ace got a spot. Ace got a spot because he held his own," he added. "If he couldn't hold his own, he wouldn't have been on that record. So, Masta Ace, big shout to you for holding your own. But, all that that Marley told y'all was lies."

Shan then went on to say that he does not regret his decision.
"Yeah, I regret...I don't even regret not being on 'The Symphony.' If I might have been on it, maybe Masta Ace wouldn't be who he is today. So, I'm happy that I wasn't on it, that Ace got to get his shine."
In the interview, Shan also says he wasn't the only emcee to not get paid properly after working with Marley. Shan then went on to claim that Marley Marl is not responsible for producing many notable songs for artists such as Kool G Rap, Biz Markie and Big Daddy Kane.
"All of those joints y'all thought Marley Marl produced, let me tell you something. Kane, G Rap, Biz, all of them bring their own beats. They bring their own beats to the studio. Marley threw them in the sampler and put his name on it. My songs were the only ones that Marley sat down and actually had to work for."
"We want to talk about truth? I'll tell you the truth 'cause I ain't scared to say it. I don't know how many other people won't tell you. Maybe Kane won't tell you, 'I bring my own beats and you put your name on it.' Maybe G Rap and [DJ] Polo won't say it. Maybe Biz won't say it. But, I'm tellin' y'all. He got his name on a whole lotta stuff that he didn't even do."

At the end of his video, Shan shares that he will make another volume of this series. The interview can be seen HERE: 

Marley Marl has responded to MC Shan's claims, stating that this stems from "years of bitterness and drug abuse" and that no one particularly cares about this situation.
"To all the Juice Crew fans and who have loved our legacy for all these years, I’m real sorry that you have to see this go down," said Marley Marl. To the other kids who don’t know who this dude is in the background, this is MC Shan. He used to be one of the top rappers in the ‘80s down with the Juice crew. He made a record called ‘The Bridge’ about a place that he wasn’t even from, and we let him prodigy that.
"It’s like 25 years later with this ‘Symphony’ story, but to be honest, who really gives a fuck? Who cares?" he continued. "It’s like 25 years ago. Masta Ace made that video four years ago. Four years to say something and nobody said nothing, it’s so funny. And as for Cold Chillin’, you know no one was getting paid back in the day. We was making joints."

Addressing the allegations directly, Marley Marl said that he doesn't understand why this would be brought up after so long and that MC Shan is coming from a place of irrelevance.
"As for me not making the records, come on man," he continued. "You saw what happened to all the artists after I wasn’t producing their shit no more? I don’t have to go there. I get to them every day on the radio. My skill levels right there, people see where I’m at so I doubt anybody believes that bullshit. This just comes from years of bitterness, drug abuse… Drug abuse and bitterness don’t mix. This is what happens ladies and gentlemen."


Chris Brown Gets A Tattoo Of His Girlfriend?
If recent tabloid rumors that Rihanna wants that old thing back are true, then she will not be happy when she takes a closer look at Chris Brown’s arm tattoos. Some time within the last few months, maybe even year, Breezy added a portrait of his girl Karrueche to the many tattoos on his arm. The tat is a complete replica of a photo of Karrueche with wet hair and tribal like make-up.

Benny Medina's Sister Puts His Clients on Blast
Celebrity manager Benny Medina's sister Katrina put two of Benny's former clients, Will Smith and Diddy on blast, one for being gay and one for not helping her out.

Watch:

Media mogul Benny and Will were rumoured in the 1990s to be undercover lovers and Will's recent marriage troubles with wife Jada are said to be based around their infidelity - with members of the opposite sex.

When asked by her thoughts about rumours surrounding Will's sexuality, Katrina replied: "I agree [he is gay]. I will tell you this - I have a gut feeling and my gut don't lie. That he is gay, that Jada Pinkett is bisexual. That all that whole situation was just for the people. His heart was never into being with a female."
She added: "He's strictly gay. [His first marriage ended] because he was young, stupid and didn't know how to deal with being in a relationship with a female."
Katrina are also furious with P. Diddy for promising to further her 22-year-old son's career, and not paying his fee for appearing on BET.
