Wesley Snipes has requested he be allowed to serve his three-year prison sentence at a facility near his New Jersey home. The Blade actor was handed the term by Florida judge Judge William Terrell Hodges after he was convicted of failing to file his taxes for five years. His legal team have asked the judge and prison officials to house him in a federal prison as close to his home as possible – and officials have vowed to accommodate his wishes. Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Felicia Ponce says, “We try to house inmates within 500 miles of their residence so they can maintain ties with their family and community.” Wow, as long as it is not in the BC I am a happy camper. Once again, special privileges for celebrities. Or as I should call him, has-beens.

Lizzie McGuire Hearts Meth

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Happy Friday and away I go.  Yeah I know I promised more updates this week, but my computer got fried this week, so I purchased a new one, and it kicks ass might I say.


The girl who played Hilary Duff’s BFF on the hit show “Lizzie McGuire” pled guilty to possession of crystal meth last year — but managed to keep the whole thing under wraps.   Lalaine Vergara Paras, who played Miranda Sanchez on the Disney Channel show, was arrested back in July and charged with felony possession of methamphetamine. But before the plea there was lots of drama. Paras was a no-show for a court appearance and the judge issued a $50,000 bench warrant for her arrest — but it was recalled when she showed up in February.  Paras pled guilty to the crystal meth charge, but her record will be expunged when she completes a drug-treatment program. She’s enrolled in the Asian American Drug Abuse Program.  So whats the deal with the Meth.  Fergie, Stephanie Tanner, and now Miranda from Lizzie McGuire? What gives?

Well this is hot off the presses.  A rep from Scotland Yard just told TMZ they have arrested Wino outside a bar in London earlier this week. The maximum sentence for common assault in Britain is six months in prison.   And all of this because of a simple headbutt?  Whatevs!

Jennifer Lopez has landed her very own reality TV show.  Cameras will follow the singer as she launches a new fragrance while trying to juggle her music and acting careers with motherhood.  he Latina, mother to two-month-old twins Max and Emme, will co-executive produce the show for cable channel TLC.  She says, “I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together.”  Wow, is this what the television world is coming to?  Big Celebs doing reality television?

NBC sources say Saturday Night Live alumnus Jimmy Fallon will take over for Conan O’Brien when the red-headed comic leaves Late Night..  The Hollywood Reporter quoted insiders saying the announcement will be made when O’Brien is officially crowned successor to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. Both announcements should come within days, the sources said.   The New York Times says Fallon will probably start his new gig in February 2009 when O’Brien leaves for a six-month hiatus before he replaces Leno.   Hum, I reported that months ago…Lame

2 more and then, oh you know the rest.  Tom Cruise is set to return to Oprah Winfrey’s sofa for the first time since his famous couch-jumping proclamation of love to then-fiancee Katie Holmes.  The smitten star made a spectacle of himself with his loved-up antics on the talk show in 2005.  Cruise will appear on a May episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.  They might need 2 couches this time.  And a stepping stool to get up to them.

And finally, A “very sorry” Wesley Snipes, star of the “Blade” movies, was sentenced to three years in prison on Thursday for willfully failing to file U.S. income tax returns for 1999 through 2001.   Snipes was convicted in February on three misdemeanor counts. U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges handed down the maximum sentence and said he felt it was important to create a general deterrent against tax defiance.   ”I am very sorry for my mistakes and errors,” Snipes told the judge. “This will never happen again.”   He read a prepared statement, describing himself as an “idealist, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritual-seeking artist” who epitomized the expression “mo’ money, mo’ problems.”   Well at least I hope his 3 years is around 1000 days like it should be.  I mean Christ, I pay taxes.
