Celebrity Foreclosure: Porsche-Driving Former Golden Girl Marion Jones

30712630Here's a new item we'll try to bring you from time to time: Celebrities in Foreclosure. Today, the pride of Thousand Oaks, the Olympic Golden Girl, Marion Jones.

As Lance Pugmire reports in today's L.A. Times, Marion Jones is down to her last $2,000, and last year a bank foreclosed on her $2.5 million cheateau-style "dream home" in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Jones -- who was seen driving a Porsche SUV last year -- says she's not sure where the money went. "Who knows? I wish I knew. Bills, attorney bills, a lot of different things to maintain the lifestyle."

Jones hires lawyers for a lot of different reasons. She sues people, they sue her. She is accused of cheating by allegedly using performance enhancing drugs, then she sues to defend her name.

Marion Jones must be the dumbest prick-ette in the world when it comes to money matters. Not only does she not have a clue as to where her money went, she had no idea how a check from her account ended up with Balco nor did she miss the money from her checkbook ledger. She didn't know about the money Tim Montgomery wrote in her name either in his criminal case.

DUMBARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
