Well, fun for us. Not for the celebrities listed. We’re talking about the Forbes.com list of celebrity foreclosures (see Celebrity Foreclosures).

There is obviously nothing funny about people losing their homes. But (you knew that “but” was coming!) . . . hearing about the rich and the famous getting swindled by the same mortgage companies swindling us “little people,” helps make us feel like the world is at least somewhat fair in doling out its misfortunes.

So, who topped the list?

Ed McMahon, of course, plus Jose Conseco, Michael Jackson, Evander Holyfield and Courtney Love.

Fortunately, almost all of these celebrities were able to save their homes. That makes us feel a little better about being gossip-mongers!
