Toni Braxton is in the financial doghouse again. For the second time in her life, and also in what, 5-6 years? i thought you couldn't declare again that fast? for real, toni? is this the best you can do, boo?the 43-year old singer has filed for bankruptcy. Braxton is in debt to the tune of $50 million. According to her list of creditors, she owes everyone money. Apparently, Braxton has been living large and not paying bills. Sources close to the singer say her debt led to the failure of her marriage to Singer Keri Lewis of Mint Condition. Braxton's latest money problems started when she had to back out of her Las Vegas show. She had a heart condition and her insurance company wouldn't cover the tab. The casino she was working with refused to cover the expenses. Her last album didn't do well, and there has been no word on an upcoming tour. Braxton was recently spotted at a Miami Dolphins football game all blinged out without a care in the world.
