Dammm Smokey pay your taxes!!!

Chris Tucker’s ongoing tax problems have reached Nicolas Cage proportions — according to new docs, the “Rush Hour” star now owes the IRS more than $11 million in back taxes.

The Internal Revenue Service filed documents with the L.A. County Recorder’s Office yesterday, which show Tucker owes $11,571,909.26 in federal taxes for the years 2001, 2002 and 2004 through 2006.

Here’s how it all breaks down:

2001 — $4,007,794.34
2002 — $5,060,074.23
2004 — $55,544.84
2005 — $660,414.94
2006 — $1,788,080.91

But this isn’t Tucker’s first issue with taxes — as we previously reported, the State of California filed a lien against Tucker for allegedly not paying $3,594,409 in state taxes over the same time span.

FYI — Back in 2001, Tucker reportedly took in a $20 million payday for “Rush Hour 2″ and scored $25 million for “Rush Hour 3″ … which hit theaters in 2007.

Tucker hasnt released a film since 2007 when he did Rush hour 3.

Who will be the NBA’s big bust next year?

It happens every year, someone gets traded or signs a big contract and they either get hurt or can not live up to the contract. Look at Elton Brand. He was an All-Star with the Clippers and signed a big contract with the 76′s and has been a bust. Stephon Marbury not much needed to be said there.
Vince Carter Salary – Magic: $16.3M 2010 | $17.3M 2011 | $18.0M 2012 (T)
Hedo Turkoglu Salary – Raptors: $9.00M 2010 | $9.80M 2011 | $10.6M 2012 | $11.4M 2013 | $12.2M 2014 (P)
Eddy Curry Salary – Knicks: $10.5M 2010 | $11.3M 2011

Look at some past contract below

Kenyon Martin: seven years, $92.5 million (2004)
Allan Houston: six years, $100 million (2001)
Keith Van Horn: six years, $73 million (1999)
Keith Van Horn: one year, $4.3 million (2008)
Vin Baker: seven years, $86 million (1999)
Jermaine O’Neal: seven years, $126.6 million (2003)
Bryant Reeves: six years, $64 million (1997)
Ben Wallace: four years, $60 million (2006)

And the list goes on and on. So we all know it is bound to happen. A player having a great year get a big contract then does not live up to the money.

I think it will be Amare Stoudemire on the Knicks.

Who do you think it will be?

Larry Hughes five years, $70 million (Cavaliers, 2005)

Atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere!

Looking for a little ambiance? Moonshadow’s in Malibu is perfect. Cabana seating directly over the water and perfect to watch the sunset if you can make it on time~! 8pm is perfect. There is also a Tiki bar on the deck where you can hang out with a group if you all want to have a good time together as well! Take a look at the pics….they describe it best!

If there was a downfall, it is that the food little pricy for what you get and the menu is not big. So if you’re a food connoisseur, then it shouldn’t be your first choice.

Overall, I give it 4 stars out of 5, and a tip ….don’t drink too much or you will be pulled over like Mel Gibson!

Price range: $75-125 for two
Good for: Romance, Bar scene, Large groups, Outdoor seating, Scenic view
Dining options: Late Night Lounging

Well, it’s happened. Receiver Terrell Owens has agreed to terms with the Bengals.

Per a league source, Owens will receive a base salary of $2 million. He can earn up to another $2 million in incentives.

(We reported it first, scooping even the OCNN, which put the word out several minutes after us.)

The source says that the incentives are based on receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

Given that the Bengals didn’t really have a need at the position and in light of the franchise’s reputation for being extremely careful with money, it’s a good deal for Owens. He gets more than twice the veteran minimum for a player of his experience, and though the specific triggers for the $2 million are not yet known, it’s our understanding that if he performs like he did last year in Buffalo (55 catches, 829 yards, five touchdowns), he’ll earn most of the money.

That said, the decision to tie that much money to performance could create friction, if Owens isn’t on the field as much as he believes he needs to be. But the Bengals likely know this, and the decision potentially reflects a concession that Antonio Bryant isn’t going to be what they thought he was going to be.

Eight tired and shockingly tan individuals with spectacular abs and varying degrees of Italian heritage invaded Wall Street this morning, ringing the morning bell at the New York Stock Exchange before posing for photos and exchanging cordial fist pumps with traders.

That’s right broham, the entire cast of ‘Jersey Shore’ showed up in downtown NYC early Tuesday morning to mix it up with fellow masters of the universe. GTL? More like WTF is going on here!

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi gave a big thumbs up before getting the honors of ringing the bell at precisely 9:30 am. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino pumped their fists while the rest of the cast smiled in approval.

There currently are no publicly traded tanning bed companies, but if there were — whoaaaah — today would’ve been your day to buy, buy, buy. As for any impact they had on the actual market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 12 points up for the day at 10,537.

The new season of MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore’ kicks off on Thursday.

As expected former UFC light-heavyweight champions Lyoto Machida (16-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (30-8 MMA, 5-2 UFC) have agreed to meet for an upcoming fight.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported the matchup and November event date, which is expected to be UFC 123, earlier this month.

Today, Machida confirmed the fight via Twitter, though he didn’t specify the fight date.

UFC 123 takes place Nov. 20, and the Machida vs. Jackson fight is expected to headline the show. Sources told MMAjunkie.com a few potential host cities are under consideration for the event.

The fight obviously will have major implications on the UFC light-heavyweight title picture.

Jackson, a former UFC champ who won the belt with a knockout of Chuck Liddell in 2007, looks to bounce back from a May loss to nemesis and “The Ultimate Fighter 10″ rival coach Rashad Evans at UFC 114. Prior to the loss, which ended a 14-month layoff, Jackson had earned back-to-back victories over Keith Jardine and Wanderlei Silva. The pair of victories followed the loss of his belt to Forrest Griffin.

Machida, meanwhile, also looks to bounce back from a loss – the first defeat of his career. “The Dragon” was knocked out in the first round of his May rematch with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and relinquished his belt in the process. Prior to the defeat, Machida had earned eight-straight UFC wins, including a UFC 98 knockout of Evans that earned him the title.
