Million In Debts
Singer Toni Braxton has had some serious money problems for years. In a recent interview she
admitted to ABC's "20/20," her first bankruptcy filing in 1998 was largely due to her home decor
shopping obsession: "I love dishes and house things, so I kind of lost it a little on housewares," she

fund in 2010. Until Love pays the loan back, she won't receive any profits made from her late
