Ruben Studdard is Brok as a Joke

Former American Idol winner Ruben Studdard has the IRS hot on his tail.  He reportedly owes the gubment $200K in unpaid federal taxes and almost $22K in state taxes.  Most of this money stems from prizes and cash received from winning the second season of American Idol.

Big Rube was dropped from his contract with J Records and his only source of income seems to be his part in the Broadway show “Ain’t Misbehavin’” which he’ll be starring in beginning in November.  Source

I don’t’ know what those paychecks will look like but I sure hope he’s got a few bucks saved up to pay these folks off.  Cus as we all know the IRS DON’T PLAY!
