Xzibit Owes Government Almost One-Million Dollars

Xzibit is the newest addition to the list of celebrities in trouble with the IRS.  According to “The Detroit News,” the rapper, actor and former MTV “Pimp My Ride” host reportedly owes the federal government more than 959-thousand dollars.  Xzibit, born Alvin Joiner, has filed for bankruptcy twice since 2009, but both filings were dismissed.  According to public records, Joiner’s financial problems began when MTV cancelled his show in 2007.  But he is still working to turn things around. Joiner was added to the design team for the ABC show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” this Fall and he announced just before Christmas on TBS’s “Lopez Tonight” that a new Xzibit album is due out early next year.
