Val Kilmer Rings In New Year By Owing Half Million Dollars In Taxes

The Christmas season may be over, but erstwhile Iceman Val Kilmer still has some giving to do. US Weekly is reporting that the one-time Batman owes the federal government nearly $500,000 in unpaid taxes. The feds have put a lien on Kilmer's New Mexico ranch, which he has been struggling to sell since 2009 -- with a starting price of $33 million, Val's slashed the price to an affordable $18.5 million. Combined with Kilmer's last brush with the gub'mint -- wherein he had to apologize for saying Santa Fe is filled with drunks and calling his county the "homicide capital of the Southwest" -- perhaps we'll see him at a Tea Party rally sometime soon?[USWeekly]
