Back in Black?

It was announced last week that "Men in Black 3" has been green lit by Columbia Pictures. Reportedly Barry Sonnenfeld, director of the first two "MIB" films will be at the helm once again, and Etan Cohen, who wrote "Tropic Thunder," is already working on the script. The big grey area...and this is a BIG grey area...is if Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will be back in "Black." Clearly, without them, the show can't go on. But to us, there in only one burning question. Will Frank the pug suit up again? Wouldn't be the same without him.

Celebrities Sued By Neighbors

We've lived in downstairs apartments, and we've been plagued by inconsiderate upstairs neighbors who always seemed to find a reason to rearrange the furniture at odd hours of the night. We've also had building mates who just didn't seem to know how to take off their shoes when walking across the hard wood floors at 6 a.m.

So we feel bad for the residents who live below Madonna in her New York flat. According to them, Madge is a noisy neighbor. But they claim it's not just the usual sounds of daily life that are bugging them. In a recent lawsuit, neighbor Karen George complained that "Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train... to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings, and radiators." Bummer.

While the Material Girl waits to see if she's going to be evicted from her Manhattan home, we take a look at other celebrities who've been sued by their neighbors.

Major Stars. Major Tax Problems.

Wesley Snipes is not alone. News broke recently that Nicolas Cage is suing his business manager, Samuel J. Levin, for incompetence that caused him huge tax liabilities and "catastrophic financial losses." Contributing to Cage's financial woes, the IRS has filed more than $6.3 million in liens against Cage for back taxes owed from 2002, 2004, and 2007. He is reportedly selling some properties to pay off the debt and going after Levin in retaliation.

But the "National Treasure" star isn't the first celebrity to owe big money to Uncle Sam. A few have even spent time behind bars for failing to pay taxes. Hopefully, Nic will avoid that fate and start building up his nest egg with the earnings from the four films he'll be starring in next year. In the meantime, maybe he can get a few tips from these celebrity tax evaders.
