Celebrities are just like the rest of us. They put their pants on one leg at a time. Every April just like us, they have to file their taxes.. they are supposed to anyway. I’ve heard that the more money you have, the more you have to loose. There are countless celebrities that understand this all too well.

It’s comforting to know that even celebrities also find themselves in debt sometimes. The three thousand on your credit card isn’t so upsetting when you hear that Wesley Snipes owned $17 Million to the IRS in 2008. Even winning the lottery won’t help you when you owe that much, Wesley.

For the average Joe like you and I, paying off back taxes means taking a part time job at a convenience store. But for stars like Nicolas Cage, it means taking any movie role they can get. At his peak, he owed the IRS over $14 Million!

When the money keeps rolling in, the urge to spend it can be overwhelming. You assume the cash flow will not stop, but it often does. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt learned this lesson first hand when Uncle Sam came knocking for their $2 Million. This left the duo forced to move in with Pratt’s parents temporarily.

But tax evasion isn’t just a gentleman’s game. Two of Hollywood’s leading ladies have found themselves in hot water with the IRS too. Lil Kim owes just over $1 Million to three different states. She has back taxes in years ranging from 2002-2009. Lil Kim treats her taxes like her rapping, she goes big or she goes home. My guess is the IRS man isn’t such a fan.

Pamela Anderson has had two previous liens in 2009 and 2010 and owes half a Million. To save money, she has spent two years living in a trailer. No wonder the poor girl is broke. Every guy in the trailer park was probably knocking down her door to borrow a cup of sugar.

So next time you are writing out a huge check for your student loan payment and you are feeling a bit depressed, think of Heidi Montag sleeping on Spencer’s Star Wars sheets in his tiny childhood bed, and smile. Maybe your life isn’t so bad after all. It could be worst; you could be a celebrity.

Often times, Hollywood actors will have to make some drastic body changes and transform for a role that they play in a movie. For example, Ryan Reynolds had to get very muscular for the role he played in The Amityville Horror and Christian bale had to redo his body and gain more than 100 pounds for the Batman Begins movie.

You wonder how they do this. Well, specific training qualities are put into play as well as eating plans that can drastically change the actor’s body. In most cases muscle gain is what is needed for changes and below are the ways actors make that happen.

Increasing the amount of protein that goes into the body helps to gain muscle mass. Most people will attest to the fact that you have to increase the amount of protein you eat to add some strength and muscle mass to your body.

Actors have to train very heavily to build muscle mass. For a period of time, while adding protein an actor will have to literally force the growth of new muscles for a role by increasing loads of weight daily.

When actors have millions to make, they are going to be more than motivated to jump in the gym and do what it takes to put the weight and muscle on. Actors are given deadlines and they have to push to make things happen and fast! They get fully committed to the task, get the deadlines down and stick to it. If they know they have to meet “X” date to be in shape for millions of dollars, you can bet it’s going to happen.

These actors make changing their body for a role their job. They don’t have to go to an office to work all day or a construction site to build. Their jobs are specifically to change their body for the role they are assigned in a movie and must do what it takes to get that done.

Actors aren’t the only one doing this, how else do you think Anne Hathaway fit so well into the bodysuit for her role in the Batman movies. Granted, she worked hard to get that body figure, but you definitely need some compression shapewear to fit into something like that.
