The state of California's could get some help with it's budget deficit if songbird Dionne Warwick would her $2.2 million in taxes and comedian Sinbad (David Adkins) pay his $2.5 million in back taxes.

According to the Franchise Tax Board, these two stars are among 250 others in Californians who owe big and have paid little to nothing.

If you're one of these 250 you can get your name off the "hit" list by paying up or agreeing to an installment plan. Board spokeswoman Brenda Vote told MSNBC that she "cannot discuss individual cases."
Warwick's spokesman, Kevin Sasaki, says the singer has been working with the board to pay her outstanding taxes. He did not know how much money had been repaid.
A spokeswoman for Sinbad declined to comment.
