Actor MICHAEL MADSEN is a wanted man after police issued a warrant for his arrest over alleged child support debts.
The Kill Bill star failed to show up at a court hearing regarding his child and spousal support case earlier this month (Mar11), prompting a judge to find him in contempt, according to documents obtained by TMZ.com.
A warrant was subsequently issued for Madsen’s arrest and his bail has been set at $26,000 (£17,333).
Madsen is said to owe around $570,000 (£380,000) in back payments for child and spousal support.
He has been married three times - to actress Georganne LaPiere, Jeannine Bisignano, mother of his two sons, and his current wife Deanna Morgan.

GLORIA ESTEFAN is urging girls across America to donate their unwanted ball gowns to help disadvantaged youngsters dress up for their high school prom.
The singer’s daughter Emily runs a charitable Key Club group at her school in Florida and she has organised a scheme to collect unwanted frocks and distribute them to teenagers who can’t afford to buy prom dresses.
Estefan is backing Emily’s appeal and is urging the public to help.
In a message posted on Cocoperez.com, she writes, "I seldom like to ask for donations or things like that but since this is to help Emily’s Key Club help others then I shall ask.
"The Miami Country Day High School Key Club (Emily is the chairperson of the club project) is requesting prom dresses or dresses that could be worn at a high school prom to be donated so they can distribute them to high school girls in underprivileged schools that do not have the money to buy their own prom dresses. Proms are usually held for 11th and 12th graders so they must be between 15 and 19 year old girls of all different sizes.
"If you have a dress you can donate, please send the dresses to Estefan Enterprises, Inc. 420 Jefferson Avenue, Miami Beach, Fla. 33139 and we will send it to the school. Thank you so much!!"

Legendary singer ARETHA FRANKLIN has laughed off reports she underwent gastric bypass surgery in December (10), insisting the rumours about her mystery operation are "crazy".
The Queen of Soul has refused to divulge details about the health crisis which saw her hospitalised last year (10), forcing her to axe a series of concerts.
She denied claims she was being treated for pancreatic cancer, and now Franklin has dismissed the latest speculation surrounding her welfare after shedding 85 pounds (38.5 kilograms) of body fat.
In an interview with U.S. news show Access Hollywood, due to air next week (begs14Mar11), Franklin scoffs at the suggestion, saying, "Definitely not - and would not. I heard that (rumour). I said, ‘That is crazy.’" The superstar remains mum about the specific procedure, only revealing the weight loss is linked, admitting the excess pounds came off "from the surgery that I had".
She adds, "But it definitely was not the bariatric or, what is it, gastric by… Yeah, I can’t even tell you the correct name of it. It’s really not necessary to talk about one’s personal medical (health)." Franklin recently told U.S. talk show host Wendy Williams she knew it was time to do something about her weight gain after realising she was "too fat for words".

Troubled U.S. reality TV star RICHARD HATCH has been sentenced to a further nine months in prison after violating the terms of his probation for tax evasion.
Hatch was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on the $1 million (£666,670) prize he won after appearing on the first season of America’s Survivor.
He walked free from a Massachusetts prison in October 2009, after completing a three-year federal sentence for the crime, and was ordered to refile and pay the owed fees on show winnings and other income.
But Hatch did not refile his 2000 and 2001 tax returns - prompting Rhode Island’s U.S. District Court Judge William Smith to send him back behind bars on Friday (11Mar11).
Judge Smith ordered Hatch to report to authorities on Monday (14Mar11) to begin his sentence. He will also serve 26 months on supervised probation following his release.
The embattled star owes an estimated $2 million (£1,330,000) to the Internal Revenue service, including interest and penalties.
Hatch is currently appearing on another reality TV show - Donald Trump’s pre-taped The Celebrity Apprentice - which began airing in the U.S. earlier this month (Mar11).

MEL GIBSON has been sentenced to three years probation and ordered to undergo a year of counselling after pleading no contest to a charge of simple misdemeanour battery.
The embattled star’s latest legal woe stems from accusations filed against him by his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who alleged Gibson attacked her during a heated argument in January 2010. The former couple has been locked in a war of words over custody of their baby daughter Lucia since their split last year (10).
The actor had initially faced a spell behind bars for a charge of corporal injury on a spouse, but struck a plea deal with Los Angeles prosecutors to keep him out of jail.
Gibson, who has been undergoing counselling since January (11), must now complete another 52 weeks before 31 March, 2012.
Under the terms of the agreement, he also has to carry out 16 hours of community service and pay almost $600 (£400) in fines. He has chosen to help Mending Kids International, the organisation where his ex-wife Robyn serves as the President of the Board of Directors.
The judge also demanded the Braveheart star refrain from displaying any forceful or violent behaviour and limited him to "peaceful contact" with Grigorieva, reports TMZ.com.
He is due back in court on 9 June (11).
Meanwhile, the L.A. County District Attorney has decided not to charge Grigorieva with felony extortion in a case involving the former couple. The movie star claimed his ex attempted to extort money out of him by recording an angry Gibson hurling abuse at her in a 2010 phone call.
The tape was leaked to the media. Grigorieva maintained she did not leak the recording.

KANYE WEST was left red-faced during Paris Fashion Week when he was turned away from a number of high-profile shows after arriving uninvited.
The rapper, an avid follower of fashion, jetted to the French capital this month (Mar11) to enjoy the festivities at the annual style event, which ran from 1-9 March (11).

A representative for KCD, a company which organised some of the events, has confirmed West was refused entry to last Thursday’s (03Mar11) catwalk parade for fashion house Balmain.
The rep tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "Mr. West requested to attend and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him.

The Stronger hitmaker was also stopped when he attempted to gain access to the Alexander McQueen show on Tuesday (08Mar11): "He did not make a request to attend, but he came uninvited."

A legal threat from LADY GAGA and an investigation by heath inspectors has failed to halt the sale of an ice cream made from breast milk - the bizarre concoction has been deemed fit for human consumption.
The pop superstar’s lawyers have taken aim at the owners of the Icecreamists store in London’s Covent Garden over the product, named Baby Gaga.
Gaga’s attorneys called the ice cream "nausea-inducing" and alleged the name takes advantage of the singer’s "reputation and good will". They also demanded company bosses change the title to prevent the star being associated with a product which "may be unsafe for human consumption".
Officials from Westminster Council confiscated the Baby Gaga ice cream for a number of quality control tests, but they have now given bosses at Icecreamists the go-ahead to sell the flavour after deeming it perfectly safe.
The council’s food safety manager, Richard Block, tells Britain’s Evening Standard, "We have now received confirmation from the lab that the product did not contain any harmful bacteria or viruses. Our investigation into the safety of the product is now over." Icecreamists owner Matt O’Connor adds, "Breast milk is not dangerous and Westminster Council confiscated our product in the full knowledge that we had done all the proper tests.
"We are considering taking legal action because this has damaged our reputation. They should have waited until they got the tests back before saying our product could have been a risk to the public."
