American Idol's Fantasia's Home in Foreclosure


According to US Magazine.com, Fantasia Barrino, the third season winner of American Idol, is about to loose one of her Charlotte, North Carolina homes to foreclosure. The six bedroom, 6,232 square foot home is scheduled to be auctioned on January 12th 2009.

This is one of two of the 8 time Grammy winner's homes in North Carolina. The home in foreclosure is stated to have been purchased at $1.3 million dollars according to public records.

Is this just another sign of the economy or is this something totally different that we see time and time again? Fantasia has appeared in a couple of movies and has produced several hits. I wonder where her financial troubles are coming from. Are stars being born to fail in Hollywood's dog-eat-dog world, or are they not being taught or catching onto the important part of being a celebrity?

Many stars come and go and you always hear of celebrities that face financial woes; but that's usually after their short lived status has fizzled in America's short attention span of the Hollywood glamor craze.

In my opinion Fantasia should be doing okay. She's still putting out hits. But I think like so many other African-American stars, she's missing out on the big part of being a celebrity and that's how to maintain your wealth.
