The IRS would like to speak with you Mr. Howard

Terrence Howard at the CNN Heroes event in Hollywood (11/21)

They want their $1.1 million. And trust me, they will send someone to break your kneecaps if you don't pay. From the Detroit News:

Actor Terrence Howard is finding it's not only "Hard Out Here for a Pimp," but hard to pay federal income taxes. The A-lister, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his pimp role in 2005's "Hustle & Flow," owes more than $1.1 million to the IRS, according to public records. The IRS filed a $1,129,219 lien against Howard on Jan. 25 with the Montgomery County (Pa.) Prothonotary. According to the lien, he owes income taxes from 2007 and 2008.

You'd think as someone who's constantly in the public eye and worth millions of dollars that Terrence would have had the good sense to hire an accountant . . . especially when you consider the disasters Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, and Congress have gotten themselves into lately. But as any celebrity will tell you, there's still one thing that's even more devastating to your financial future than trying to cheat the IRS: date Brian Austin Green. "Honey, I need to borrow $71,251.42."

Hope he has a girl at home that he can take his frustrations out on.

He needs to wipe that debt clean.

What does the IRS need with that kind of money - just borrow it from the Chinese until they bankrupt the country. Go Barack Go - keep on driving the U.S. down the road to oblivion... This dipstick probably campaigned for him...

The AG Holder will ignore him like he did the black panthers with weapons at the polls during the election.

Not to worry. Many of the hi-ups in the administration didn't pay their taxes either. Besides 2007 and 2008 were when GWB was in power. He probably overtaxed Terrence. When President Obama learns that Terrence needs help, I am sure he will help him out. Its probably just a misunderstanding or mistake on the part of the IRS.
