Nicolas Cage on his money: "I don't know where it went!"

Foreclosures: a victimless crime; unless you count all the homeless people.  Something that happens a great deal among us "regular joes" (not so much to the "above average tims" and "not so great bills") but is rarely associated to celebrities (unless you count Michael Jackson, Nicolas Cage, Whitney Houston, Ed McMahon, Evander Holyfield, Jose Canseco, Arethra Franklin, Stephen Baldwin, Victoria Gotti, and the ever popular Doug E. Fresh).

Nicolas Cage had to "Face Off" with the bank and New Orleans for the great sum he owed (I'm guessing a little over $2.53 in mortgages, maybe $0.12 in property taxes).  He should have reconsidered "Leaving Las Vegas" and maybe kept his job as a "Sorcerer's Apprentice."  Alas, his house was pretty much "Gone in 60 Seconds."

Veronica Hearst can count herself among the lucky ones losing a home.  Veronica is of course the widow of Randolph Hearst (son of William Randolph Hearst).  Her inability to pay her mortgage resulted in the imminent foreclosure.  Some say this is due to her spending a lot of money on rosebuds.

Erin Moran (Happy Days/Joanie Loves Chachi) is also among the list of celebrities facing foreclosure.  Oh, sorry.  This article is about celebrities.

It's a sad day when even the rich and famous can't afford their bills.  Although to be fair, they do spend their money on ridiculous things like shark tanks for their living rooms, diamond toilet roll holders, and pits for lions and tigers and bears.  Oh my.

So who's really to blame?  The banks for increasing the values on adjustable rate mortgages?  The cities for charging so much in property taxes? The houses for being so damn expensive?

No one knows.  Except maybe God.  But no one can reach him because he's been really busy playing Call of Duty since it hit shelves.  He's getting pretty good...  I mean...he's already prestiged 12 times!  And if you run into him and he's got Second Chance Pro on?  Ha... good luck taking him down!

There's always an upside to every negative thing in the world.  Where one door closes another opens.  I mean, no house means no house payments.  There's always a silver lining. 

Unless you spent the silver on back taxes.
