#RHoA: Sheree Whitfield owes IRS hundreds of thousands of dollars
Moreover, so is her standings with the IRS and the State of Georgia. The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star seems to owe everyone money, including her attorneys and her ex-husband, former NFL star Bob Whitfield.
Now it’s being reported that Whitfield owes the IRS a whopping $287,707.86.
Reports substantiate that she is in arrears with the U.S. Department of the Treasury because she has not paid taxes from 2009 – 2013.
The IRS, as a result, has placed a lien against Whitfield’s house and other assets, decreeing that she owes them $134,728.45 in unpaid taxes for 2013 and 2012, and additional unpaid taxes of $152,979.41 from 2009 – 2011, for which a previous lien had been placed. The IRS documents, revealed by Life & Style magazine, illuminate Whitfield’s total IRS debt is $287,707.86.
Things are not much better in the romance department. Whitfield failed to find love on her recent appearance on “Millionaire Matchmaker”, not to mention that she lost out on a financial settlement when her ex-husband, Bob Whitifield, a former Atlanta Falcons lineman, was savvy when he filed for bankruptcy.
Let’s hope the former RHOA full time cast member can procure her “Peach” again so that she can start paying down her tax debts. (via Atlanta world daily)

Beyoncé and Adele lead 2016 MTV VMA nominations
The nominations for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards have arrived and promise that this year’s installment of the awards show will be as buzzy and suspenseful as ever.
Beyoncé and her visual album Lemonade lead the pack with 11 nominations — her most at a single VMAs yet — while Adele earned eight nominations. And the show’s flagship Video of the Year category is truly stacked, pitting Adele’s “Hello,” Beyoncé’s “Formation,” Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” Justin Bieber’s “Sorry,” and Kanye West’s “Famous” against each other.
For Best Female Video, Adele and Beyoncé are joined by Sia (“Cheap Thrills”), Ariana Grande (“Into You”), and Rihanna (“Work”), while the Best Male Video features Drake, West, Bryson Tiller (“Don’t”), Calvin Harris (“This Is What You Came For”), and The Weeknd (“Can’t Feel My Face”). Conspicuously, Bieber was not nominated for Best Male Video despite his Video of the Year nod.
And, given the changing mediums of music distribution, MTV has introduced a new category in 2016: Breakthrough Long Form Video. This year’s nominees for the award are Florence + the Machine (The Odyssey), Beyoncé (Lemonade), Justin Bieber (PURPOSE: The Movement), Chris Brown (Royalty), and Troye Sivan (Blue Neighborhood Trilogy).
Elsewhere, Bryson Tiller, Desiigner, Zara Larsson, Lukas Graham, and DNCE are all contenders for Best New Artist. All Time Low, Coldplay, Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, and Panic! At The Disco will compete for Best Rock Video, while Calvin Harris, 99 Souls, Mike Posner, Afrojack, and the Chainsmokers will face off for Best Electronic Video.
The late David Bowie picked up four nominations, one for “Blackstar” (Best Art Direction) and three for “Lazarus” (Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing).
The 2015 VMAs took the internet by storm, with host Miley Cyrus feuding with Nicki Minaj during the broadcast, West promising a 2020 presidential run, and Cyrus dropping a surprise album at the show’s conclusion.
