Toni Braxton is feeling the heat in more ways than one. The R&B singer is on the hook for nearly $400-grand in unpaid taxes and now she’s gearing up for the release of a new album with a sizzling video to help get things rolling. The 42 year old does a bit of a strip tease in “Hands Tied” and had trouble keeping one of her breasts covered in the shoot saying “lefty kept wanting to make a cameo.” A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to pay the bills. Braxton also popped in to visit the “Ellen Degeneres Show” Tuesday and performed another scintillating single – “Make My Heart.” Toni must be feeling the love for her body because on Ellen’s show, she worked it in a skin-tight black body suit that was just a camel hair too tight vay down der. Actually I think Toni makes perfect cougar material. Can you give me a “raaaar!” Her new CD “Pulse” pumps into stores May 4th. – Charlie Reeves
