Helio's Chance At Dance Takes Taxing Toll

Posted Oct 4th 2008 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Apparently an orange jumpsuit and sequins just don't match. Helio Castroneves latest indictment may cause him to lose his chance to dance.

TMZ sources close to "Dancing with the Stars" have told us that Helio was tapped for a visit to the "DWTS" ballroom to perform later in the season, but with his latest legal struggles that's probably not going to happen.

Many crew members were shocked with the latest accusations and have attempted to contact Helio to give their support.

As for the performance -- its still tentatively scheduled, but the show may want to get John O'Hurley on speed dial just in case.

5. Give their support? To a tax dodger? He deserves everything he gets! What's even more pathetic is that he has more than enough money to pay his taxes!

7. I wonder if his "JUJU" will visit him in the clinker? She'll probably still talk to him by phone, like she said she has been doing? I knew he looked shady. The greaser made millions in the U.S. and doesn't want to pay his share to Uncle Sam. That cheap greaseball.

8. The IRS is a corrupt illegal institution that collects interest for the private Federal Reserve. During the 80s, 100% of federal income tax went to interest on the National Debt, of which the private FED owns a significant portion.

People are waking up to the criminal racket known as the FED and the IRS.

13. The government should investigate themselves. We shouldn't even be paying taxes. That's BS. These beaucrats just put our money in their pockets.
