BREAKING: Wesley Snipes Has Three Years In Prison to Prepare For Next Role [Uncle Sam Hits Back]
Word just over the transom at Defamer HQ notes that Wesley Snipes's tax-evasion hobby will cost him dearly — as in three years in federal prison. Not even character-boosting letters from Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson were enough in the end to save Snipes from his fate, which was saluted today by US attorney Robert O'Neill: "[Y]ou have to pay your taxes. ... To continually just say, 'I don't owe taxes, you must show me why I owe taxes,' it seemed his position was ludicrous."

Snipes was not required to surrender immediately; rather, he will begin his sentence at a later date after turning himself in closer to his home in New Jersey. Naturally, per Passenger 57, we're betting on black and predicting Snipes' prompt defection to Europe, where he and fellow expat fugitive Roman Polanski will eventually team up on Blade 4: IRSlayer.
