Helio's Tax Problems in the Rearview Mirror

Posted May 22nd 2009 3:00PM by TMZ Staff

It could be the start of a winning weekend for Helio Castroneves.

Federal prosecutors have dropped the remaining tax evasion charge against the 33-year-old race car driver/former "Dancing with the Stars" champ -- meaning he is completely in the clear. Helio was acquitted on all but one charge last month.

Castroneves has the pole position for Sunday's Indy 500. If he wins, we think he'll declare it on his taxes.

Bone Thugs Rapper Cleared, Yet Still in Jail

Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:00AM by TMZ Staff

The famous rapper in the accompanying mug shot is still behind bars -- even though the charges he was arrested on have just been dropped. Kinda messed up, right?

Stanley Howse, aka Flesh-n-Bone from the rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, was just cleared of gun and marijuana possession stemming from an April 2 arrest in Santa Clarita, California. But due to the fact that Stanley was on parole when he was arrested, Howse has to remain behind bars until his lawyer, Shepard Kopp, can clear up his parole hold.

Kopp tells us he hopes to have it done within the week.
