I need for our reality stars and celebrities (A through D listed, no one is exempt) to get it together when we approach 2009. All this year we have been reading about people not paying taxes, liens on their properties and celebrities just plain broke because of poor money mismanagement.

Fantasia is the latest (and I hope the last person I read about regarding financial woes) to have her home foreclosed. TSK! We already know her life story and I was happy that she won, even when people didn’t want her to win “American Idol”. But I don’t want her to go from riches to rags. She need not be another casualty.

“According to property records, the 6-bedroom mansion has been foreclosed on. Unless the 8-time Grammy-nominated singer can make necessary payments, the 6,232 square-foot home will be auctioned off on Jan. 12.

Barrino, a single mother to daughter Zion, purchased the home, located on Bevington Place, in March 2007. The price was $1.3 million.

Her other house, also located in Charlotte, was purchased in July 2004 for $740,000 and records show it’s not in financial trouble.”

Whew! Thank God for a second property! Unlike Wyclef, who bought a house and barely there.
