Celebrity Justice
Snipes Can't Drop Soap for a Loooong Time

Wesley Snipes won't be getting a Nicole Richie special in the big house: TMZ has learned that Prisoner 57 -- or whatever number he gets -- will have to do two-and-a-half years hard time (out of the three he was sentenced to). And that's only if he's a really good prisoner.

Federal inmates can't get parole, so Wes will be in for at least, by our calculation, 930 days.

46. I feel bad for Wesley, i know that many years ago he had troubles paying his mortgage at his orlando home. I believe that all that financial problems lead to what ever tax advice he received. Its really a shame that he has been punished this way while a lot of small business owners take advantage of their employees -such as most of the ones at our car washes. i wished the courts would have taken into consideration the bad tax advice he might have received.

JASON,,,,you are a illogical moron,,,,do you know how many fed.tax dollars are set up to help the poor and hungry,increased by bill clinton???e.g.disability increased,medicare increased(not in danger of running out like now),,,,,,,without federal tax there will be no dea,fbi,ins.,army..,navy......no federal government whatsoever,without that we are a third world country.

55. WILLIE NELSON owed the IRS 16 million in unpaid taxes. However, he was never indicted or served one day in prison. He eventually settled with the IRS by paying his back taxes. Kinda makes you wonder why the IRS couldn't offer the same deal to Wesley Snipes. "Good ole boys" looking out for "good ole boys!"

56. From Webster's New World Dictionary, 3rd College Edition, 1988:

"randy adj. [[prob. < rand, dial. var. of RANT + Y]] 1. coarse; crude; vulgar 2. sexually aroused; amorous; lustful -- n., pl. -dies [Scot.] a vulgar, quarrelsome woman; shrew.


This is for you Randy....your opinion means nothing here!

57. well RANDY, the actually is a big difference,,,,willy wanted to make a deal with the IRS,,,,while wesley fought it till the end,,,,,,and at the last moment when he knew he was screwed ,he offered them 1/3 of what he owed them,hoping they would back off...

58. and Willie aside - it's about damn time they (the IRS) sets a presidence to all hollywood coke stuff noses to follow the rules! Oh no!!!! Difference between Willie and Wesley is Willie cooperated (and he has friends) Wesley thought he could continue to thumb his nose to the request to cooperate.... Dumb aZZ!!!

60. another funny post ....with that said...Randy..I think maybe WS problem was he evaded them for so long..Willie fessed up an pd...the 5 million WS pd out yesterday...would have made all the difference in the world , had he done it from the get go, too little to late and he brought all this media attention to it...should have known better, he didn't stand and chance and never offered until the last minute...DUMBASS!!
