A while back I wrote about Wesley Snipes and all his excuses he made about not paying his taxes for all those years. This was back when they let us all believe he was just getting a slap on the wrist like most celebrities that break the law. Well, the judge decided that unfortunately won’t be the case for Snipes. Therefore, he will be made a public example to all the non-tax paying citizens residing in the USA.

Last February Snipes was convicted for three misdemeanor charges for not filing taxes. He apparently did not think the government had any right to his money so he just didn’t pay. He was sentenced up to 3 years in a Federal prison, but they only see him having to fulfill about two and a half of those years; seeing he has good behavior. His attorney and friends were hoping it would be a lesser sentence. Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson even wrote some sweet letters about Wesley’s good character in attempt to convince the judge to take it easy on Snipes. It sadly did not work on the judge.

Snipes did not have to surrender right away; they will persue that at a later date when he is at his home. So, he has time to think about all his money that he really will have to do without because he was too much above the law to pay his taxes.

You know, I’ve always been a fan of Brooke Hogan.  I liked her one song that got popular, I think she’s a pretty girl and I think she has a good, fit body.  Besides the fact that she sometimes wears too much make up (hey, don’t we all do that at least once in our life) and some questionable outfits, I think she’s a pretty cool girl. BUT…

Brooke made an appearance at Florida Atlantic University where she was filming scenes for her reality show. She was apparently taking a tour of the campus to see if she wants to attend. While doing this, she wore a hideous blue sun dress with  no bra. The dress made her like 2 sizes bigger than she really is! And those nails. My God. I like fake nails on some girls–but not hot orange ones. They are soo 80’s glam rock and it’s not working for her. So, Brooke Hogan, please stop! We can’t take looking at you right now. You need to hit up The Gap and buy a cotton bra and stop by a nail salon and get those claws cut back and painted! Seriously!

I’m not sure how this is news at all, but I am running out of things to write about this morning so somehow this piece of gossip made the cut. Seriously, don’t ask me how.

Some producer guy named Ryan Kavanaugh who is apparently buddies with Jake, is telling people that Jake loves Reese. I’m sure Jake is loving that this guy is a big-mouth whoring him out to the tabloids but what can he do, really? Here’s what good old Ryan told People:

“[Jake] has obviously had his fair share of dating,” Kavanaugh says of Gyllenhaal’s romantic life. “I think eventually you come to a place where you know what you want and seeing what we saw on the set, he was certainly completely devoted to her and really loves her.”

Can what you see on the set really be trusted?  I mean, everyone thought Brad Pitt was cheating on Jennifer Aniston on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith because he was photographed hugging Angelina Jolie but look how that—ehh, ha, um, bad example. Okay, maybe Jake does love Reese but really, who cares? I can’t believe I just spent 5 minutes writing about this. Give me drama! Give me break-ups! Give me sex tapes! Anything but this crap.

Carmen Electra just got engaged to her boyfriend of less than a year, Korn guitarist Rob Patterson. The musician, who is 37 years old, proposed to Electra over the weekend in Las Vegas where the couple were celebrating Electra’s 36th birthday.  Carmen has quite the track record for failed relationships (no judgments!) so it should be interesting to see how this plays out. She is always going for the dirty looking rocker dudes, isn’t she?

With that said, these pictures (courtesy of Splash) show Carmen over the weekend looking a little.. um.. bloated? It could just be she ate a lot in celebration and you can tell because she’s so small. OR it could be that she is definitely pregnant. What do you guys think?

Get this! According to E!, Hilary Duff has been offered a role in the new 90210 series. Her character is named Annie Mills.  She is a Beverely Hills High student who is into theater and is dying to be popular and “accepted.” Supposedly this character is the new Brenda Walsh.  Doesn’t sound evil enough, does it? It sounds like a good role for Hilary Duff, since she really can’t act worth a shit.  But they need to make the new Brenda Walsh more evil because, let’s face it, Brenda Walsh was just Shannen Doherty acting like herself under the name “Brenda.”

If I could cast anyone as Brenda I would totally cast Angelina Jolie. Wouldn’t she make the most evil, hatred Brenda ever? It would be perfect. And I would make Kelly be Jennifer Aniston and then they could do that scene where Kelly f*cks up Brenda’s hair and turns it orange.  OMG could you just see the look on Angie’s face? Golden! Someone please share this idea with the 90210 execs! It’s pure gold!

Dang! Mariah Carey is looking really good these days.  She’s lost a lot of weight but she also looks like she’s really been going to the gym and eating right–not starving herself like some other celebrities.  I give her props. The whole “short, tight dress and cropped coat” look really works for her, too. Those dresses must be magical because that’s all she wears these days and they are really making her look even better. Where can I buy one? More pictures of Mariah Carey performing live on Good Morning America today. I hear there was a error in her performance but I didn’t catch it. Hell, does it matter when she’s looking that good?

No matter what she says or does, Jamie-Lynn Sigler will always be bratty, spoiled, snot-faced Meadow Soprano to me. Is it just me or were the kids on that show just horrible? Anyway, Jamie-Lynn is single now.

It’s over for Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Scott Sartiano, her boyfriend of two years, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

“They are currently split up as they’re living on different coasts and their lives are taking a different direction,” the source says. “They are still really close and you never know what is going to happen in the future.”

After her marriage with manager AJ DiScala ended in 2006, Sigler, 26, was inseparable from Sartiano, 33, a nightlife impresario in New York who co-owns Butter restaurant and the newly opened lounge 1OAK.

The relationship turned rocky recently, and “she went to New York to work on their problems,” says a friend of Sigler’s. “She was in New York up until a few days ago and that’s when it ended.” Another friend called the breakup “mutual. They have both accepted it and are doing their own thing. They’re still very close and share so much love for each other.”

Sigler stepped out with gal pals on Tuesday night at the Svedka-sponsored launch of philanthropic fashion campaign for Heal the Bay at Fred Segal in Santa Monica – and her attitude about the future was telling. She told PEOPLE of her plans for the summer: “I’m going to Coachella. It’s gonna kick off my summer fun with the girls! It’s all about me right now. And I like that. I’ve never had that in my life.”

I don’t watch American Idol but my local radio station kept playing the clip of Brooke White singing “t’where” and then stopping. WTF? Since t’where isn’t a working word, that ho should definitely have been voted off. But Simon can’t get enough little blond white girls. So Carly Smithson, who sang “Jesus Christ Superstar”, got voted off. She’ll be fine. Remember Carly already had one record deal back in the day when she was Carly Hennessy. I’m not worried about her.

Andrew Lloyd Webber night, though, huh? That was a bad idea from the beginning. The judges had to know all those mediocre singers were going to butcher the shit out of all those show tunes.

I like Katie Price. I always have. In fact, I started writing about her before I started writing about any other celebrities. I just think she’s neat cause she marches to the beat of her own drum. She says what she likes and she seems pretty funny. But she really needs to work on her wardrobe. Every once in a while she sneaks in a hideous outfit like this and I just don’t know how people let her out of the house. I mean, her body looks great but that outfit? It’s a bit silly.

More pictures of Katie Price in her cheetah spandex suit right here.

Ashlee Simpson is really milking these pregnancy rumors.  I know she’s doing it because its giving her a lot of media attention and that’s perfect because she’s releasing a new album soon and everything but it is just SO annoying. I mean, we get that she wants people to talk about her but she’s the one who is always bitching about how annoying gossip is.  She wants the best of both worlds, I guess.

Anyway, Ashlee went on Ellen (it airs today) and dodged the pregnancy question again. I wish Ellen would have just said, “You know people are going to stop caring. I already don’t care. Next guest..” That would have showed her! If any BIG celebrities had anything going on, Ashlee would be overshadowed in negative two seconds. Wait til Angie has her baby. It will be “Ashlee Simp–who?”
