    Rapper Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion) has been slapped with a federal tax lien for $550,000. So he owes the IRS half a mil. That's a lot of green. Not that kinda green stuff, which Snoop favors. That's quite a bit of paper.

    Snoop reportedly owes $101,952.44 from 2009 and $444,317.85 from 2011.

    He has run into troubles with Uncle Sam in the past. He was delinquent and had to pay nearly $500,000 in back taxes in 2008.

    If he doesn't pony up, Snoop could face federal charges for tax evasion.

    What is up with celebs and famous people having so much trouble paying their taxes? It seems like every week, someone rich and famous is hit with a large tax bill. Hollywood accountants must be throwing some serious shade.
