Songwriter Norman Whitfield has pleaded guilty to tax evasion. The songwriter will be sentenced on April 18th. He was charged with failing to report over $2 million in royalty money. Whitfield is best known for the songs "I Heard it Through the Grapevine," "Carwash," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," "Just My Imagination," and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg."

American Idol judge Randy Jackson is starting the Randy Jackson Childhood Obesity Foundation. Jackson lost over 100 pounds after he underwent gastric bypass surgery. He says a lot of kids can't go to the gym because they are too young. He says his foundation will provide facilities and programs for kids so they can learn how to stay in shape. Jackson says he's battled obesity his whole life and he wants to reach out and young people with weight problems.

Singer Ron Isley may be headed to jail. Isley has pleaded not guilty to tax evasion and his trial is slated for March 8th. Isley was charged with five counts of tax evasion and one count of failing to file an income tax return. Isley was also charged with cashing the royalty checks of his late brother O'Kelly. This is not the first time Isley has been in trouble with the IRS. Back in 1997, he filed for bankruptcy and the IRS took his yacht and other possessions. Last year he suffered a stroke and if he is convicted he could face up to 26 years in prison.

Why do so many celebrities have trouble filing taxes? They have enough money to hire a good accountant and file proper taxes...this just doesn't make any sense to me.

I didn't realize that Randy Jackson had gastric bypass surgery. Was he really that big? I hope he doesn't get any smaller. He looks like he's at a good size now.

They may think they are ABOVE the law! Then also soror, that could be the problem. Many in the biz TRUST their accountants. They ASSume that their hired help is doing his or her job. Then, when it's too late, they find out he or she wasn't. That's when there is trouble and the accountant is "fat rich" and the "starra" is broke.
