The Accused: Verne Troyer
The Debt: $10,869.36
The Story: According to the State of California, Mini-Me fell behind on his taxes both in 2005 and 2008 ... putting him a total of $10,869.36 in the hole.
Earlier this year, Troyer mentioned that Mike Myers was getting started on an Austin Powers 4 -- that paycheck could sure come in handy...

One of Verne Troyer's ex girlfriends claims the man who made Mini-Me famous is a threat to her life ... and she fears someone in Verne's posse could do her in with a gun.
Yvette Monet filed a restraining order -- obtained by TMZ -- claiming Verne continues to email and phone her with "awful messages," calling her a hooker and other names.
Monet says Verne told her his friend Bart "is carrying guns and will do anything he says." She goes on -- "His friend Jose is a cop and has guns as well. I'm afraid for my life."
The judge granted a temporary restraining order.
UPDATE: Vern's lawyer, Ed McPherson, tells TMZ his client is "shocked and appalled" at what he calls the "false and frivolous accusations." McPherson can't believe a judge issued the restraining order without giving Vern notice and with no proof of Monet's allegations.
McPherson says Vern can't wait to fight this one out in court.

Have you ever wanted to see Mini-Me's sex tape co-star, Ranae Shrider, naked ... without a little person on top of her? Well, you just might get your chance!

Shrider has shot a series of scantily-clad photos with the hope of submitting them to Playboy and getting in the mag -- much like Audrina did back in the day, except Audrina is ... ya know, hot.
We're told Ranae really wants to get into Playboy -- but Verne Troyer would prefer she stay out of the spotlight, since all she does is remind people of that whole sex tape thing. A sex tape we too would like to forget.

...ya throw him on your back and take him home!

Ever the responsible partygoer, Verne Troyer, who was also celebrating his New Year's 40th b-day, hitched a piggyback ride from a pal.
Drinking and walking can be dangerous too.

If there was a gun to your head, would you rather kiss former plus-sized, flesh eating virus laden jerk Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis (left) or miniscule real life troll doll Verne Troyer (right)?
