What timing, just after the Federal Income tax filing deadline, Wesley Snipes draws 3 years hard time for "willfully failing to file tax returns...."

Like most, if not all, people, I'm no fan of taxes, but unfortunately everyone has to pay them. Even the criminal maven Myer Lansky said, "Always pay your taxes", and he wasn't afraid of anyone.

While I don't condone any form of criminal behavior I do feel that punishments should match the seriousness of the crime.

Snipes' committed 3 white collar, non-violent misdemeanors for criminny's sakes, not bloody felonies, and he gets 3 years, for a first time offender.

The Feds admitted that they wanted to make an example of him; and the judge accommodated them by slapping Snipes with the maximum sentence.

That just doesn't strike me as right, especially when vicious felons are given lighter sentences for rapes, shootings and beatings that result in paralysis and loss of intellectual powers in the victims.

You can check out the details of the hosing Wesley Snipes got from the Feds.

Cripes I hope some overzealous IRS employee doesn't read this and have me audited!

It looks as if Madonna may still be the Diva's Diva if indeed she's getting her tongue in cheek asking price to perform her oldies in a special concert.

When asked what it would take to get her to perform her oldies, such as "Holiday", Madonna replied, jokingly, "About 30 million".

Well, even Madonna can't just get everything; no one took up the mock offer.

But now it appears that she will take about $25 million, 15 for one performance, and 10 for being the entertainment at some rich guy's party.

This is happening in Dubai, by the way, where ordinary people are merely rich.

Come on, you didn't think this was going to happen in the USA did you, where, in the Dubuque Cow Palace & Truck Wash.

Check out the details of Madonna's record setting deal.

It's kind of funny to think that someone who should be used to having his or her picture taken frequently doesn't know how to strike a simple pose; but many celebrities can't.

It's especially funny when it it's someone who gets paid to have her picture taken, such as model, Kate Moss.

Halle Berry, shown above, is one beauty who falls into the "doesn't know how to pose" category, at least according to the author of this article about celebrities who can't pose.

When it comes to Halle Berry I agree with my wife, who once said, "There aren't any bad pictures of Halle Berry."

Lindsay Lohan was spotted out on the town, but this time it was an innocent, apparently non-alcoholic lunch with her "BFF".

Taking a page from her casual acquaintance, Paris Hilton's, playbook, the recently reformed Lohan has apparently decided that Samantha Ronson, a DJ, is her best confidant, or "BFF", "best friend for life."

Here the story, additional photos and fan comments on the new Lindsay Lohan.

Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan's father is miffed because she isn't joining him on a missionary trip to India.

Wow, I can't believe it; she passed on such an exciting time with her conveniently born again Christian father.

Britney was involved in another traffic incident, and although it was reported as an accident, there wasn't any damage to either vehicle or did anyone claim injury.

But, with the next day came the arrival of intense pain to the driver of the other car, even though this was best described as a no miles per hour accident.

So I'm certain we'll have the inevitable lawsuit filed by the "victim" before long.

Here's what "MSM Entertainment" has to say about Britney Spears' latest auto accident and while there check out the links to stories about

It happens to all of us eventually even one of the world's current hunks, Colin Farrell.

Colin, seen here, in makeup for the filming of a remake of "The Werewolf", has led a pretty wild life. But now, at only age 31, the Irish tough guy admits to having reached his physical limits during the making of "In Bruges".

I seriously doubt that Colin's new awareness of his own mortality will slow him down, either in public or private.

Here's the story about Colin Farrell's introduction to old age.

This link takes you to a story about Farrell's next movie, "Triage" .
