OJ Simpson - After losing his digs in Los Angeles and Miami, The Juice's 4000-square-foot home in Kendall, Florida will soon be up for sale by his lenders, JP Morgan Chase.

Vanilla Ice - Ice was on the brink of losing his Palm Beach, Florida home over unpaid dues to the Homeowner's Association earlier this year, but the rapper managed to stop, collaborate and listen to the organization and keep the roof over his head.(Photo: Ian Gavan/Getty Images)

Terrell Owens - No stranger to financial troubles, this football prodigy lost not one, but two Dallas-area condos this year. Maybe now that his baby mama drama is behind him and he's back on the field with the Allen Wranglers, T.O. can inch his way back to his former lifestyle.(Photo: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

Nate Dogg - Talk about unfortunate timing. The late rapper's home was foreclosed on in March 2011, just two days after his sudden death.

Nicolas Cage - In a classic case of mo' money, mo' problems, this A-lister probably set a record for most foreclosures. Since 2007, Cage saw his homes in Bel-Air, Las Vegas, New Orleans, England and New York — as well as his castle in Bavaria — disappear. Adding salt to the wound, he also owes the IRS approximately $14 million in back taxes. All that debt does explain his career choices, though.(Photo: Taylor Hill/Getty Images)

Jermaine Jackson - The former Jackson 5-er got booted from his five bedroom, six bath Calabasas, California rental house when the owner lost it to the bank. Luckily, his mom Katherine rented a mansion just blocks away!(Photo: Dave J Hogan/Getty Images)

Wyclef Jean - It's hard to imagine that a guy with as many hits as Wyclef could be facing foreclosure, but it happened to the former Fugee. But, while his Florida digs were reclaimed by the bank, his main mansion, in posh Saddle River, New Jersey, is still standing.(Photo: Terrence Jennings/PictureGroup)

Fantasia Barrino - Her rags-to-riches story was so remarkable, Lifetime made a movie about it, but Barrino went back to rags (sort of) in 2008 when she allegedly lost her North Carolina home to a loan shark who helped her pay off back taxes. But, as she clarified a year later, rumors of her financial downfall were greatly exaggerated. Great to see the talented diva learned her lesson and is moving on.(Photo: Brad Barket/PictureGroup)

R. Kelly - The R&B king lost his battle with creditors in December of last year when his 11,140-square-foot mansion in Chicago's Olympia Fields, worth $5.2 mil in 2009, was listed for short sale at the bargain price of $1.6 million. We can only wonder what the new owners found trapped in the closet.(Photo: Kristian Dowling/PictureGroup)

Allen Iverson - The NBA all-star's troubled personal life cost him the roof over his head in July of last year, when his Denver-area mansion slipped into foreclosure.

Damon Dash - The hip hop mogul suffered a setback when he lost his duplex in celebrity-studded Tribeca (Jay-Z and Robert DeNiro were neighbors).

Chamillionaire - When news that the Southern rapper's Texas manse was being repossessed by the bank hit the blogosphere, the normally private hip hop star spoke out and explained his financial woes were due in part to medical bills for his mother's cancer. Cham also clarified that he's far from broke, saying, "I still got all the cars."(Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)

Jay-Z - If it could happen to Jay, it could happen to anyone, right? Even the Roc-a-Fella mogul couldn't avoid foreclosure when he and his partners went to battle with their lenders over a $52 million deal, which eventually went sour, for his planned J Hotel in New York City.(Photo: Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images)

Michael Jackson - His expensive lifestyle and endless legal bills meant the bank was always one late payment away from changing the locks on Neverland Ranch. But Jackson always managed to find a way to keep his home, which cost an estimated $10 million a year to maintain, out of foreclosure — even if it meant auctioning off the zoo and the amusement park rides.(Photo: Mark Mainz/Getty Images)

LaToya Jackson - Money trouble runs in the Jackson family, and in 2009 LaToya became the latest member to join the foreclosure club. After several liens, Michael's sis lost her Las Vegas condo to the highest bidder when her creditors took it over.(Photo: FameFlynet)

Mel Gibson - Bad luck or bad karma? Gibson ended a very bad year in 2010 with foreclosure lawsuits against three Malibu homes, plus his church. The status of the suits is not clear, but hopefully Mel prayed to Jesus to keep the roof over both their heads.(Photo: Angela Weiss/Getty Images)
