Popular rapper and host of MTVs “Pimp My Ride,” Xzibit, has failed to pay more than $21,000 in mortgage payments and is now in jeopardy of having his Woodland Hills, Calif., repossessed by the lender.

TMZ.com reports, however, that the possible foreclosure action could be the least of his financial concerns.

Here’s a snip:

“In addition to nearly losing his home in Woodland Hills, California — it was reported last week that the IRS filed a $205,485 lien on X in L.A.County for non-payment of his 2007 taxes, and yet another one for an additional $296,355 for 2006.”

Alvin Joiner (his birth name) has been a fixture on the rap scene ever since his first album, “At the Speed of Life,” dropped in 2006. He has been able to parlay that success to the silver screen, appearing in several movies, including “Full Clip,” “Derailed,” “Hoodwinked” and “Gridiron Gang,” among others.

The grandmother of recently-born octuplets, Angela Suleman, owes more than $20,000 in late mortgage payments on her home in Whittier, Calif., and is in danger of losing it to foreclosure, according to TMZ.com.

Angela Suleman is the mother of Nadya Suleman, who herself happens to have quite a few kids of her own. Nadya, in fact, has captured major national headlines recently because she delivered a litter of eight children all at once, raising her total to 14 offspring.

But all the attention has, for the most part, been negative.

That’s because the divorced single mother — who is unemployed, lives with her mother, receives food stamps and collects government disability checks for three of her children — conceived her most recent brood via in-vitro fertilization, which is apparently not the most logical decision when already struggling to make ends meet.

Angela, the grandmother, has been outspoken and critical of her daughter’s thought process. She has good reason to speak up, too, because the enormous physical and financial burden of caring for all the kids has landed squarely on her shoulders.

Indeed, she provides the roof over their heads and helps take care of them on a day-to-day basis.

The good news is that with all her new-found fame (or disdain), Nadya landed a high profile paid appearance on “60 Minutes,” which she reportedly pocketed a large sum for granting the interview request. And there could be more on the way.

But with 14 children, a home in default and a scary diaper bill, among other expenses, there is no telling how long similar opportunities and that money will last. Hopefully, for the sake of the children, it’s long enough to remain in their family home for a very long time.

Hollywood stars such as Britney Spears often go in to foreclosure (to see a list and pictures click here), but this time around it is her manager who is in distress and not the former pop starlet herself.

Her estranged manager, Sam Lufti, is reportedly facing foreclosure on his Californian home after allegedly running up more than $18,000 in debt, according to TMZ.com.

In fact, a collection agency has placed a lien on the Los Angeles property in an effort to recoup the outstanding funds. And if Lufti does not cough up the cash sooner rather than later he could lose the home to foreclosure. He also allegedly owes a United States bank an undisclosed sum for unpaid credit card debt.

Lufti and Spears had a very public and unceremonious split, swapping legal papers and hurling accusations through the media. Spears recently had a restraining order placed on Lufti (and others) and he responded by suing her parents for defamation.

This whole situation sounds “toxic.”

Ed McMahon — who recently captured national media headlines because he defaulted on $4.8 million home loan — has found a buyer for his six-bedroom, five-bathroom Beverly Hills, Calif., estate, according to TheCelebrityCafe.com.

It’s great news for the 85-year-old iconic television personality who is perhaps best known for his role as an announcer on the “Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson for three decades.

Not only does he avoid foreclosure, but he also closes a deal to sell the $5.75 million home that has been more than two years in the making.

Speculation swirled that real estate magnate, television reality tycoon and author, Donald Trump, was the front runner to purchase the home from McMahon. He then intended to lease it back to him. However, it appears that the deal never came to fruition.

Instead, an anonymous buyer stepped up at the last minute. And according to the report, McMahon has six months to vacate the property and find new digs.

That’s apparently a good thing because McMahon was eager to move on. In fact, he had this to say about this situation in a recent interview with Larry King on CNN.com:

“It’s a combination, it’s like a perfect storm. Economy problems. Selling the house right now is a tremendous operation …. We’ve had this house on the market for two years. We’ve shown it, I don’t know how many, 50 organizations or people. Nobody has made an offer. I mean, it’s just a lovely home.”

It appears that all he needed was some very high-profile marketing to find the right buyer, bringing new meaning to the expression, “everything happens for a reason.”
