PROSECUTOR SAYS NO DEAL FOR SNIPES

wes.jpgI guess those reports last week about Wesley Snipes striking a deal with the I.R.S are false.

Federal prosecutors denied Tuesday that any deal had been struck with Hollywood star Wesley Snipes so that he could avoid jail on tax charges.

They stressed:

“No agreement has been reached with him, what we are doing is we are talking to his representative and making arrangements for him to turn himself him to face the charges, because he’s out of the country,” Tampa federal prosecutors’ spokesman Steve Cole told Agence France-Presse.

I guess he better stay his ass in Namibia, they coming for you Wes.

KATT WILLIAMS ARRESTED AT AIRPORT EARLIER THIS WEEK

kat.jpg I know I’m late as hell, but oh well! TMZ is reporting that Katt Williams was booked on felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and several other offenses. Read on to see what went down:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the arrest occurred at 3 p.m. in Terminal 5. Williams, a popular comedian who recently starred in his own HBO stand-up comedy special, was stopped at the security checkpoint. Security officers found a concealed weapon in his carry-on luggage. One law enforcement source described it as a “cheap, Saturday night special.” The LAPD was called and Williams, who stars alongside Nick Canon on the popular MTV show “Wild ‘N Out,” was arrested. Cops determined the concealed weapon was stolen. They also found three additional weapons in luggage that Williams had already checked in READ MORE.

Word is, Williams is also wanted in connection with an outstanding warrant in Kalamazoo, Mich.

  1. I must admit that I didn’t even know that Regina King was married. I’m sure “Brenda” will have no trouble bouncing back. I think she’s really pretty, and she seems like a cool chick.

  2. ms_mac1

    If one more couple breaks up, I swear…..

    Katt Williams, SMH. Is this what fame does to people?

    Wesley, I wouldn’t give yo a$$ a break either.

  3. Damn I didn’t even know she was married. He looks like he could be brothers with Blair Underwood.

    I knew the IRS wasn’t messin’ with no black man and “their” money.

    THE IRS = THEIRS – and they ain’t playin.

    Poor Kat – You got jokes?!

  4. M'Jaie

    Her husband favors Blair underwood a little bit

  5. ms_mac1

    Is it me or does Regina’s husband look like a cross between Johnny Gill and Blair Underwood?

  6. sweet

    damn! regina’s hubby is fine. but if he’s whooping her ass, she can do better.

  7. ms_mac1

    ^^ Dang, guess it ain’t just me!

  8. southernbelle

    Celebrity couples are getting divorced left and right.

    Is it me or doesn’t that statement sound kinda suspect :

    Regina King and husband Ian Alexander are divorcing over the usual allegations: “physical abuse, drug use, and extramarital affairs” .

    Sonce when are physical abuse, drug abuse, and extramarital affairs the “usual allegations” in a divorce??

  9. Damn Katt!! Where were your going boo-boo Iraq to look for Osama? He was going to put somebody on BLAST!!
    I’m glad Wesley aint getting no deal. F@#UK him.

  10. THATS CRAZY. IF WESLEY GETS A DEAL SO SHOULD EVERYONE.
    REGINA KING WILL BE OK-THATS WILD. CELEBRITY UNIONS ARE TAKING A KILLING THE LAST FEW WEEKS

  11. I agree ms mac…I thought it was Blair’s long lost brother. And assuming the little boy in the red hat is their’s, he look just like regina. I love me regina king. Best in enemy of the state and the other one with Chris Rock in it.

    I owe the IRS myself so no comment on Wesley.

    Kat – I need a weapon or two…who’s your hookup man?

  12. ^^^^^
    You MEAN like “Irreconcilable differences”
    YES, It sounds Very Suspect !!!!!

  13. Like ya’ll said I didn’t even know she was married

    Katt was someone after you?

    And who cares about Wesley Snipes!!

  14. I DIDN’T KNOW SHE WAS MARRIED EITHER, HER YOUNGEST SON LOOKS JUST LIKE HER….PEOPLE NEED TO STOP GETTING MARRIED,, AND JUST GO ON DATES WITH DIFFERENT MEN EVERY WEEK LIKE ME….LOL….

  15. MAN WESLEY I KNEW THET WERE GOING TO PLAY HIM,….NOT NINO BROWN….

  16. LOL Marie2!!! I mean for real…it’s like you got the perfect husband all year long.

  17. Comment #10… WHAT planet are you from ;-)
    SINCE when has everyday working-class people get the same benefits as Rich and Fasmous Celebrity type people… NOT GONNNA HAPPEN

  18. I honestly did not know that she was married. I swear there must be something in the water in Hollywood! They are breaking up left and right.

    And I have to agree with Southernbelle, is it usual allegations because they are Black? Most couples cite irreconcilable differences. Not abuse.

    But God bless her and her family in this dificult time.

  19. NIx

    her husband look mean as hell!
    well at least they made it to 9 years
    its alot more than alot of couples these days…

    Hell, what other grounds do you go on to get a divorce?

  21. @marie2 and @cadeegurl…
    So WHAT WEEK are you’ll going to be in Chicago !!! ;-)

  22. DEO

    i just wouldn’t come home if i was wes.

    on regina – dang – does anybody stay together anymore. makes me scared to try.

    and as for katt – he has like eight kids to raise he’s a single dad so i know he wasn’t throwing his freedom away willy-nilly. it’s something up w/ that ish.

  23. she-ra

    Awwwww. So sorry to read about the drama going on in Regina King’s marriage. Can’t anybody stay together anymore? Jada and Will…you’re next. Not hating, it’s just Jada is a little to weird these days.

    Wesley Snipes is a self hating disgrace to the race, so lock him up! Wesley Snipes doesn’t care about black people ans we don’t care about him! P.S. Doesn’t he look like one of the O’Jays in that pic???

    Katt Williams is an idiot. Why is he famous again? I have family and friends that are funnier than him…

  24. Wesley is always in trouble for something. I used to be mad about wesley in the early days – my friend couldn’t understand it but It was because he came across as a positive black man back then. This is the first time I have ever seen Regina’s husband – are the allegations of physical abuse, drug abuse and extra marital affairs from her or him?

  25. vera

    I’m not shocked at all because every pic I’ve seen of her for at least the last year, she has been alone.
    I hope she got a pre-nup, cuz this girl is paid. She is the one of the few highly paid black actresses that has had consistent work in prominent roles for over 10 years.

  26. Damn…what’s happeneing? It seems like every other post in the entertainment news lately is about celebrities divorcing…first Reese Witherspoon and hubby, Chris Rock and wifey, Britney Spears and K-Fed and now Regina?

  27. jscene

    Damn, i’m never getting married!

  28. @something fierce hmmmmm pencil me in for the first week in ’07. I’m all booked up for the holidays. j/k :)

  29. Shanna4

    Ok,

    Regina King and Husband: That is very sad, she is so pretty an underrrated as an actress. I like her and she long overdue for some kind of oscar. Now this. Divorce is in the air these days…wow. I guess folks getting rid of that dead weight they don’t need…

    Wesley: No comment.

    Katt Williams: Speechless to the maxx…..NEXT!

  30. I JUST checked my Celebrity Calender and it seems that FEB and MAR are for Engagement Announcements/Marriage Proposals… MAY and JUN are for Weddings and Calling-off Engagement Announcements… AUG and SEP are for Separations… and FINALLY OCT and NOV are for Divorce ;-)

  31. Regina King – Doesn’t her husband look like the type of person who beats woman & take drugs ??

    Wesley Snipes – The IRS thinks they are slick….
    If I was him I would stay in Africa

    Katt Williams – Another Negro trying to sneak a concealed weapon on a Plane ?? Who is he, Snoop’s Cousin ?? Is this “Stupid Negro Week” ?

    White People think we are dumb apes…..The reasons are above.

  32. @candeegurl… In my BEST Eddie Murphy “Boomerang” voice
    ’07…’07… The first week in ’07 !!!!! sighs O.K.

  33. Divine One

    That explains why Regina is always appearing to different events solo….that’s a shame…they made such a cute couple…..oh well….as far as Katt I’m mad at him…he should know better…..now for that no good crusty ashy A@$#$ Wesley I hope he does jail time…

  34. tbrown

    Sad to hear this about Regina, but if her hubbie was an a**hole, I say good for her and good luck to her!

    Wesley, how in the hell do you end up owing the govt. 12 mil. in taxes? You do not mess around with the govt.! Have we learned nothing? Nothing from Ron Isleye’s recent debacle? He might want to stay where he’s at…but yeah, don’t f*ck with the govt. *shaking my head*

    And Katt Williams? *shaking my head* ‘coz I really don’t know what to say.

  35. Not surpirsed about the divorce – simply because marriage is a joke these days. We either get married for the wrong reasons to begin with then end up divorced or get married, have one fight and call it quits. Now as far as Katt: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKIN? Wesley – who cares

  36. There must be a coupon for a free crock-pot with any divorce circulating.

  37. Queen J

    Hate to here marriages just do not last anymore .
    I’m glad she leaving because no one deserve that
    at all .

  38. ^^^
    Actually, I think it’s a Free George Foreman Grill ;-)

  39. audifox6 oto

    I hope that is just gossip about Regina and her husband. I really like her and think she’s a wonderful actress nd beautiful woman. Best of luck to her. Kat—wtf??? why are you carrying all those damn weapons? where the hell are you going with that shit? sit yo funny lookin ass down somewhere. Wesley–i admire his lawyers for being courageous enough to ask for a deal but were they serious? his black ass owes 12mill and ran out the country, showing no intent whatsoever to pay it…those are not the types of people prosedutors grant mercy to

    Exactly…but Wesley is not rich or even that famous anymore. Lately his movies have been going straight to DVD! He on Tara Reid status…a has-been!
    Has-beens don’t get no love!!! Therefore, Wesley’s ass is going to get treated probably WORSE than working-class people! Ha to his ass!

  41. Queen J

    @ something fierce are you from the Chi , if dang I
    wish you can send me some Chi food man I miss the food for real .

    Back to the post Wesley going to jail .

  42. Sad to hear that about Regina’s marriage…I’m with Jscene my ass is gonna stay single! Lol J/P

  43. 777-9311

    Maybe Brenda and Calvin can hook-up after all. You think Lester and Mary are gone be ah-ight with that? I can just see Pearl sitting in her window right now, talking ’bout “Un-unh!

  44. I sure hope that Will and Jada aren’t the next celebs on the road to divorce…But has anyone else noticed that they haven’t been pictured TOGETHER lately?
    I agree that Regina’s husband is good looking, but he probably suffers from that my wife is somebody and I am nobody syndrome, so I don’t doubt that he’s probably drinking, getting high and trying to whoop up on her.

  45. what is going on with all our black celebs (ie. Katt, Snoop, Busta)…what do they honestly think they are above the law…I just don’t get it

  46. blobbyboo

    kat williams is just too funny, he aint serious.
    everyones divorcing, why get married in the first place?

  47. Sad for Regina.

    Wesley is just sad. Period. Throw the book at his ass.

    Mr. Williams…there comes a point when you have to leave the hood behind, especially after you’ve come up a notch. Take a note from Ice Cube.

  48. rockinlocs

    she might be the one that was unfaithful. u shouldn’t blame the man (i’m a woman) before knowing the fact all the time. women cheat, women drink, women abuse too.

  49. seabreeze

    I WANT AS DIVORCE NOW!

  50. dreadhead girl

    Marriage is so overrated.

    Just fall in ‘like’ and find somebody serious that you can chill wit for the rest of your life.

  51. seabreeze

    (Oh shit I’m not even married am I?) Sorry for the outburst yall.

  52. CYNTHIA

    I have noticed that I have not seen Regina with her husband lately, without her ring. But I was not sure and I didn’t want to speculate. It end up being true. I had when people divorce, it is very sad.

    Send Weisley to jail!

    Katt is a fag.

  53. Barbie

    HE’S GORGEOUS!BUT TOO BAD HE’S A LOSER……………..

  54. satin

    yeah ….i dont think that i ever had marriage in my agenda…it is too much trouble and money…i can use that money to go shopping or put in the bank…
    i hope that they give wesley the chair..his ugly ass..(let me calm down)..but ever since i found out that the reason that halle berry is deaf in one ear is because of him…i have not liked him..
    kat- baby we need to get the hood out of u..
    i dont know what it is with MEN….why must we have guns 24/7??>..i honestly think that is some pussy shit…why can’t u just fight like men, accept ur defeat and be done with it???…

  55. ms_mac1

    @53, why is HE the loser?

  56. Asentha

    Damn, I hate that about Regina King. I’ve always liked her. She had such an awesome performance in “Ray”. Good luck to her!!

    I’m glad they’re not letting Ashy Larry off easy!!

    Damn, Katt!!!!

  57. I wish Regina the best of luck. I’ve always liked her, she’s a great actress. I’m sure she’ll be fine.

  58. THATS ONE DIVORCE THAT I CELEBRATE BECAUSE NO WOMAN DESERVES TO BE PHYSICALLY ABUSED. IM HAPPY SHE FOUND THE STRENGTH TO LEAVE THAT BASTARD. POOR REGINA I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER.

  59. I

    LOL @ Katt who could blame him for carrying all those weapons though. u gotta have protection if u gonna be at the hip hop awards nowadays and especially if ur hosting it. LMAO
