Zombie foreclosures. This bizarre term refers to a bizarre, little-known but very real horror of the U.S. housing bust that is crippling homeowners coast to coast, six years in. Thousands are finding themselves legally liable for houses they didn’t know they still owned after banks decided it wasn’t worth their while to complete foreclosures. With impunity, banks walk away from foreclosures much the way some homeowners walked away from their mortgages when the housing market first crashed. “The banks are just deciding not to foreclose, even though the homeowners never caught up with their payments,” says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. Since 2006, 10 million homes have fallen into foreclosure, a number that in earlier, more stable times would have taken nearly two decades to reach. Of those foreclosures, more than 2 million have never come out. In cases where homeowners moved out after receiving notice of a foreclosure sale, thinking they were leaving the house in bank hands, we see the zombie situation. Dozens of housing court judges, code enforcement officials, lawyers and other professionals involved in foreclosures say these titles number in the many thousands. No national databases track zombie titles. “There are thousands of foreclosures in limbo, just hanging out there, just sitting, with nothing being done,” says Cleveland Housing Court Judge Raymond Pianka. The surge is due largely to homes vacated by people who fled before an imminent foreclosure sale, only to learn later that they remain legally responsible for their house. When people move out after receiving a notice of a planned foreclosure sale and the bank then cancels, municipalities are left to deal with the mess. Some spend public funds on securing, cleaning and stabilizing houses that generate no tax revenue. Others let the houses rot, as we’ve seen many times. In at least three states in recent months, houses abandoned by owners and banks alike have exploded because the gas was never shut off. Unsuspecting homeowners nationwide have had their wages garnished, their credit destroyed and their tax refunds seized – all due to zombie titles. They’ve opened their mail to find bills for back taxes, graffiti-scrubbing services, demolition crews, trash removal, gutter repair, exterior cleaning and lawn clipping. At their front doors they’ve encountered bailiffs brandishing summonses. In some cities, people with zombie titles can be sentenced to probation – with the threat of jail if they don’t bring their houses into compliance. If you think this could be happening to you, or for more information on this dubious but very real situation, continue reading this foreclosure explanation .
No Casualties From Texas Tornadoes Everyone in Dallas better be thanking their high heavens right now. Tractor-trailers weighing tens of thousands of pounds flew through the air. Roofs were ripped off homes, and other houses were left in complete tatters. Yet no deaths have been reported after devastating tornadoes worked their way through the Dallas-Forth Worth and Arlington areas of Texas. “It looks like the Dallas-Fort Worth area really dodged a bullet,” Dallas Mayor Michael Rawlings told CNN. “I mean we’ve got hundreds and hundreds of homes destroyed but amazingly no fatalities.” Between six and 13 tornadoes may have touched down Tuesday in north Texas, the National Weather Service in Dallas-Fort Worth said. The number is an estimate pending a survey and damage assessment. Rawlings said that as he looked at footage of tractor-trailers tossed about like lightweight toys, he was struck by how lucky it was nobody died. 13 tornadoes and everyone came out without losing a life. We just hope this storm passes the rest of the way with the same results. Source More On Bossip!

Being Mama Knowles sure does pay off. Back in 2004, Beyonce bought her mommy this 8, 885 square foot five bedroom/five bath house back in 2004. Now that she’s about to be a grandma again, Tina has decided to let this one go for the low low price of $3.5 million. And being that she has two other houses in Houston, she’s probably not going to spend a penny of that money on a new house. Would you drop three mil on this house?

‘Harry Potter’ author’s site is still cloaked in mystery, but there are a few things we’d like to see on her Web creation. By Kara Warner J.K. Rowling Photo: Daniel Barry/Getty Images There’s a lot of “Harry Potter”-related excitement going around these days, what with the release of the eighth and final film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” in just a few weeks, and our own Harry Potter World Cup heating up. And on Thursday morning (June 23) in London, “Potter” creator J.K. Rowling made an official announcement about the mysterious “Pottermore” website she introduced last week. The site will deliver a free, online reading experience including, according to a press release, “extensive new material about the characters, places and objects in the much-loved stories” and a digital capability in which “the storyline will be brought to life with sumptuous newly commissioned illustrations and interactive ‘Moments’ through which you can navigate.” “[It’s] a way I can be creative in a medium that didn’t exist when I started the books back in 1990,” Rowling told reporters during the press conference. That’s exciting stuff for “Potter” fans, considering the books have long since been completed and the final film hits theaters this summer. But at this point, with no Muggle having yet explored the site, we don’t know exactly what Pottermore will offer. Here are five things we hope we can see and do while playing in Rowling’s latest fantastical creation — now or in the future. Open Class/Character Development System No matter your house, heritage or O.W.L. scores, with the appropriate amount of training or playing time, you too can become an esteemed member of the wizarding community. No matter how basic or inexperienced you are when you begin exploring “Pottermore,” there should be opportunities for advancement and/or shifting skill sets. If you want to be an animagus, an auror, a healer, or even a professional Quidditch player, you need only put in the time. Quidditch Speaking of professional Quidditch players, there ought to be a recreational area in “Pottermore” where characters learn, play and eventually compete against one another at the hugely popular game. Instead of pitting competitors and teams against one another based solely on their houses, it would be great for players to be able to assemble themselves into teams. Virtual Place to Unwind, Be Entertained One of the main reasons Rowling’s masterworks have so many millions of fans, is because she’s created a world so magical and alluring, that we all dream of apparating into the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer or taking a walk through Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. It would be great if Pottermore featured a competition-free area for socializing in and around virtual versions of Rowling’s most beloved fictional shops and assorted hotspots. Annual “Pottermore” Gatherings Although Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter is currently a perfect place to mix and mingle with fellow Potterphiles, we would love an annual event in the vein of GenCon or Comic-Con, where fans from all over the world meet to share in everything Harry Potter. In addition to pointed panel discussions on a variety of subjects, why not also host a few live action duels in the spirit of the tri-wizard tournament? Maybe an attempt at a grounded game of Quidditch or two? Special Guest Stars And/Or Participants It’s nearly impossible to assemble the entire “Harry Potter” film casts for “Pottermore” participation, but perhaps before they all move on from their Potter associations the actors can record special interactive greetings and messages, to be carefully placed throughout “Pottermore”? Maybe Daniel Radcliffe and company can pre-record video messages of encouragement for players? Alan Rickman could instruct a brief beginner-level Defense Against the Dark Arts Class? We’ll even settle for video clips from the movies popping up every now and again. Also, if Rowling is taking the time to make this special announcement, we’re hoping she’s going to stay involved enough that she’ll consider recording some messages as well. So what did we miss?

She’s hated on by millions, beloved by Lady Gaga and parodied by Conan O’Brien . But one thing is certain: 13-year old Rebecca Black is an Internet and television sensation. The rising, controversial star sat down with Entertainment Weekly to speak on a number of topics, including one heartfelt cause… Rebecca Black on The Tonight Show On donating YouTube and iTunes proceeds to earthquake/tsunami relief in Japan : I felt really bad about it. I’ve always wanted to do something about all natural disasters, and I realized now is my big opportunity where I can really help. On props from Gaga : That’s so cool! I feel so star-struck, even though I haven’t met her. It’s so surreal, it’s so crazy. I was just listening to “Born this Way.” I really love all of her songs, I have almost every song of hers on my iPod and I think she’s really a lyrical genius. Her songs are just so upbeat and fun and catchy. On how she parties : Just really being with friends and having fun. Dancing — that’s really what I do at parties. I dance and I hang out with friends. That’s my partying. On her favorite artists : Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna… Justin Bieber I find an inspiration overall: I love his music, he’s adorable and I love that he’s so young and so big. And Rihanna, how she came out of the Chris Brown thing so strong, that is amazing to me. On future songs: Dance anthem-like stuff, very teen-like pop songs, stuff like that.
Late night host George Lopez made a joke this week implying that instant Dancing with the Stars favorite Kirstie Alley is a pig. It didn’t go over too well. On Tuesday’s Lopez Tonight , he said, “She did a nice job,” after showing a clip of Kirstie and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. “Her little hooves tapping away.” He then did a play on the classic nursery rhyme, This Little Piggy Goes to Market, before playing a clip of a pig squealing “wheeeee” riding in a car. Having thought better of it, Lopez apologized last night on Twitter: Not sure how one misjudges a joke in which one calls a woman a pig – not something they typically take kindly too – but it appears no harm was done. Alley struck back at Lopez, writing: “lol…a drunk pig…hehe” and later, this: “Don’t worry about George’s comments… just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk wolf… falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs.” Good one. This isn’t the first such incident for Lopez, who made weight-related cracks about Bristol Palin ballooning on DWTS last season, too. Here’s Kirstie’s strong debut performance from Monday night … DWTS Week One – Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Musa Danasabe Ibrahim gets an A for effort, but an F for morality. This 26-year old was arrested around 4 a.m. yesterday for trying to stalk Miley Cyrus. As first reported by X17 Online, police received a phone call from one of Miley’s neighbors early Thursday morning saying they had apprehended a man who claimed “he had a date with Miley.” The only problem? He did not, and he didn’t even get the residence right. “Ibrahim was trying to make entry into Miley Cyrus’ house, but he got the houses mixed up,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. “When we arrived on scene, we found him in her neighbor’s yard. He was arrested for trespassing.” Ibrahim is in custody. His bail has been set for $5,000. Sounds like a good thing Miley is getting out of the country . [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
See this is the problem with Gaga. She gives ugly people hope. When ugly people should be locked in their houses crying cuz they were invited to prom. It’s a total disconnect that goes against the grain of humanity. That works against everything we’ve evolved into. That I can only assume is a sign of the end of the fucking world. Nothing good will come of this….seriously….she’s just a marketing tool to the freaks, bisexuals and losers of the class, cuz corporations realized that despite their lack of social skills, they have money to spend like popular kids, if anything, more money cuz they don’t spend it on the cool clothes and other things to fit in, cuz they just don’t fit in and have embraced that….it’s mainstream, fabricated bullshit…and it’s working cuz people are either idiots, or because they want to believe it is authentic and actually speaking to them… Either way, this bitch needs better looking fans, even if this is what I expected to see. Yeah, yeah – we get it you’re fucking unoriginal losers. Someone lock them up or tease them until they commit suicide please.
