paris-hilton-dog-house-luxuryParis Hilton just can’t keep to herself no matter how hard she tries.  Recently the heiress posted some pictures of her luxury doghouse on Twitter for all to oooo and awww over.

The newldy designed designer doghouse is more expensive than most homes and is certainly much nicer.  The $325,000 project features two floors, of course.

Downstairs comes with a living room while upstairs is a puppy bedroom, along with an outfitted closet when your pup just feels like dressing to the nines.  We could think of so many other things to do with $325K, but to each her own we suppose.

nicolas-cage-tax-lienIt wasn’t even last fall when veteran actor Nicolas Cage had to pay $666,000 plus interest on some back taxes to the IRS and now it looks like Cage didn’t learn his lesson at all.

The IRS has now filed a $6,257,005 tax lien against the actor saying that he owes for unpaid income tax going back to 2007.  Cage has listed several of his properties on the luxury real estate market, including his Bel Air estate that he recently re-listed.  Poor ole Cage, he never does learn.
