  1. This story has made all of the UK print media today. I was surprised that some newspapers have given it between 1/3 and 1/2 a page..
  2. Well, my payslips shout at me that the Tax Man always wins lol...
  3. From looking at the court reports etc, it seems that the biggest bone of contention was the actual amount that he is alleged to have earnt in the United States, and what he earnt outside of the USA. There was also representation that he is not worth anywhere near from the State Prosecutor said he was. But at the end of the day, what he has been found guilty of is listed as a crime and thus he has been punished. The only thing that confuses me, is why some convicted individuals in the USA do not go to prison straight away, but have up until a certain date to do so. Keifer Sutherland was due to split his imprisonment for DUI into two periods so as not to conflict with filming of 24 - this obviously changed when the strike hit - and other people in the media spotlight such as Snipes, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie etc haven't gone to prison straight away. I guess in the USA that money truly does talk. If you look at the UK, they go straight to prison. Jeffrey Archer being a prime example in recent times. But hey ho..let's hope for Snipes' own good that he learns to file his tax returns...the Tax Man always wins..
  4. And don't forget the BIG RETURN of one past DW star..
  5. This will more likely go to appeal and get reduced to a non custodial punishment. He received the maximum, and that is rare in the States for this type of offence. The Prosecution specified that he should get the maxium because he was famous and should be used as an example to non famous people. A bit harsh is an understatement.
  6. I have just seen on BBC.CO.UK that actor Wesley Snipes was handed the maxium 3 year prison sentence possible for failing to file tax returns. More on this as it comes in. MSN Movie News Article BBC Webpage Article

    I think that I must be one of a limited number who liked this film. As regards Alyssa Milano, hers was a small part and she has also been guesting in My Name Is Earl. Also, I wouldn't call it slumming as she is getting work. The film itself has done reasonable sums at the box office worldwide, so it can't be bad with everyone.
  8. It will be interesting to see how they use him as King of the Ring. In early 2003, he suffered from a major heart ailment. It caused the lower half of his body to retain water and he gained close to 40 pounds. The doctors had to stop his heart and restart it for him to get better. I thought that the WWE would be using Regal sparingly after his health scare a while back. I read in numerous places that it is the reason he was chosen to be Raw GM as he had a brilliant on air character.
  9. Just saw the three hour Raw and I was most disappointed. The King of the Ring was perfect for elevating someone up the ladder, but they give it to William Regal..*sigh*..Vince & Co dropped the ball on this one. Also, the fake Obama vs Clinton fight went on far too long..like every second it was on. The computer game version was much better. Only if Umaga could have come out sooner..
  10. I would have thought that Mr Hellwig would have been sectioned by now. He is not one to keep his personal feeligns and views to himself. I will be intrigued to see what sort of shape he is in, and Orlando Jordan isn't going to make him look any worse then he was in his prime as he isn't that great a wrestler. Car Crash anyone?
  11. They are filming the Christmas 2008 Special at the moment according to the BBC.

    If you see someone in a particular role and/or format like a weekly show, it may be something different seeing them in another format such as a full length movie. It shows that Milo can adequately change roles with little or no problem. As Milo is not my favourite character in Heroes, I guess it was easier for me to watch the film without comparing him to his Heroes character.
  13. It was good for Heroes that they won an award, but I was pulling for Family Guy. Mind you, aside from Californication which I just don't like, the nominees had three of my favourites in Family Guy, Heroes and My Name Is Earl. As regards Harry Hill...from my personal point of view, TV Burp has become boring as it is the same all the time. I know that it is dictated by the TV Shows it rips into, but variety is my preference in a show.

    But the film is barely an hour and a half. I agree in that the film makeup was nothing new and ground breaking..but the on screen chemistry between Doctor's Gallow and Grey was what made he film for me. I thought the end part was something I didn't see coming as regards Dr Stravinsky helping him out. It was quite funny at the end last night when everyone walked out when the credits hit, but I hung around as I thought that there might be something at the end. And I was proved right when the 7 minutes to fall asleep ran out and they came back with a few seconds left to count. Mind you, there was a heck of a lot of nakedness in it. Didn't expect it when I went in.
  15. Have smoked on and off for years. It is not a stereotypical addiction, and I can stop and go without for weeks whenever I want. I see no reason to stop, and my Doctor has never bugged me about it. He wants me to lose a few pounds in weight, even though my vitals are ok. So, smoking is fine for me personally and I get mine wholesale saving a packet.
