Deadbeat beat-maker Scott Storch could be homeless just about any time -- if he's even in the country.
Storch has gone completely MIA, our sources say, and we definitely don't mean he's in Miami: SunTrust Bank is trying to foreclose on Scott's $10 million home in South Florida, according to Jose Lambiet of the Palm Beach Post. He hasn't made monthly payments for most of the year, even though he borrowed $170K from pals.
And it's not just the bank that's after him: An electric company and a security system have liens out on the house as well.

Looks like Tommy Davidson's had plenty of time to work out since "In Living Color" got canceled 14 years ago.
SpyOnVegas.com caught the 42-year-old skeezer fishing at the Revolution Lounge last night, using his stomach as bait.
He definitely got 'em on the hook. No word if he threw 'em back.

Richard Simmons could make Congress a better place, at least for TMZ, because he might run for office.
Richie testified before the House Education and Labor Committee today on the subject of childhood obesity. Not realizing politicians are actually reviled figures, he said, "I want to have the respect of a congressman, I want to talk like a congressman, and maybe, someday, I'll be a congressman."
What to wear for the swearing in? We can't wait.
Athletes saving the lives of sportswriters -- what's this world coming to?

No Freudian slip for Christian Bale this morning.
He was in Barcelona this morning shilling for "The Dark Knight," and when asked about Mummygate and ... we got nothin'. He'd only say the incident was a "deeply personal matter."
As we reported yesterday, Bale has been estranged from his mom for decades and his peeps smell $hakedown.

50 Cent wants dollars -- lots of 'em -- from Taco Bell for jacking his "good name" for a low-budget promo. 
Fitty claims in a Federal lawsuit that the burrito slingers stole his identity by encouraging him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent, or 99 Cent as part of a less-than-a-dollar-menu promo. While he doesn't address the total idiocy of the campaign in the suit, Mr. Cent does claim he wasn't told about the ad until he heard about it in the news -- whereupon he totally disavowed it.
Reps for Taco Bell didn't immediately comment.

Anne Hathaway's diaries might end up being a serious smoking gun against her ex-BF Raffaello Follieri.
The FBI has taken her private journals, reports Rush & Molloy, during a second raid on RaFo's Trump Tower apartment, and the seizure might bring Anne further into the Feds' investigation. Since his arrest in December, Hathaway has "cut off all contact" with the alleged con artist, say sources. She's even changed her digits.
Raffo is still in Federal custody.

Whoever coined the term "friendly skies" hasn't read this lawsuit.
Rande Gerber, restaurateur hubby of Cindy Crawford, is being sued by a hotel management group over use of the word "sky." According to a lawsuit filed in L.A. Superior Court yesterday, Gerber helped Delta Airlines design a signature in-flight cocktail program called "Midnight Sky." Simple enough, right?
Here's the problem: Gerber agreed back in 2002 not to incorporate the word "sky" into any of his ventures in a settlement with the Morgans Hotel Group -- the people behind Skybar and Whiskey Sky. So now they're pissed that Gerber has gone and done it with the "Midnight Sky" program. Gerber's defense: He wasn't responsible for the naming and Delta already calls its frequent flier program "SkyMiles" and its in-flight mag "Sky Magazine." He says Delta should be free to call the program whatever it wants. And hello?? It's an airline.
Morgans is asking for damages in excess of $500,000.
