Remember Wesley Snipes? You know, that actor who used to be in a ton of ass-kicking action movies during the '90s, but these days, only pops up when someone has the urge to produce another sequel to Blade? Snipes, a Ph.D. in Ninja studies and bad acting, was charged last week with filing false tax-refund claims for 1996 and 1997, as well as for failing to file any returns for five years in a row. Way to be discreet, Wesley. A warrant was filed last week for Snipes' arrest and the actor could face heavy fines and as many as 16 years in prison. Snipes could, no doubt, use the jail time to read through the massive pile of scripts he has been offered over the last few years. That should take care of at least a couple minutes of his sentence.

According to a federal grand jury indictment, Snipes filed amended returns for 1996 and 1997 seeking over $11 million in refunds based on section 861 of the U.S. tax code, which Snipes and his cohorts believed exempted him from paying taxes on domestically-earned income. The former star has also requested special treatment from the court because he actually believes himself to be the U.S. Marshal he played on screen in 1998. Snipes sought returns on the $19.2 million he earned in 1997 and the nearly $3,100 he has made since.

Snoop Dogg was reportedly busted for attempting to carry a concealed weapon through an airport security checkpoint. "Fo' rizzle?" you may ask. Yes, fo' rizzle indeed. I cannot tell a lizzle.

According to law enforcement officials, Snoop (real name Calvin Broadus) attempted to walk through an X-ray machine in an Orange County, Calif. airport at the end of September with a 21-inch collapsible baton stuffed not-so-inconspicuously into his laptop case. Upon further inspection the rapper was also found to be traveling with half of the marijuana in California.

The D-O-double-G was not arrested, though detectives did force him to watch Soul Plane nearly 20 times during the interrogation in an attempt to coerce a confession. Tom Arnold and Method Man could not be reached for comment. Snoop himself did provide a brief statement to reporters, though no one in the audience had any idea what the hell he was saying.
