Disgraced sprinter Marion Jones, 32, was in surprisingly good spirits as she gave her first TV interview since confessing she had lied about her drug use.

“I have no regrets for doing what I did on October 5th and pleading guilty and admitting to the world that I lied, that I made mistakes,” she told US talk show host Oprah Winfrey. [ SEE MORE ]

Last week, Jones was sentenced to 6 months in prison for perjury concerning her involvement in the check fraud case and her use of performance enhancing drugs. She has been ordered to surrender on March 11th to begin her jail term.

IKE TURNER DIED FROM COCAINE OVERDOSE

Legendary musician Ike Turner died from a cocaine overdose, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday.

“We are listing that he abused cocaine, and that’s what resulted in the cocaine toxicity,” said Paul Parker, chief investigator at the medical examiner’s office. The medical examiner’s office also listed hypertensive cardiovascular disease and pulmonary emphysema as “significant and contributing factors” to Turner’s death, Parker said.

Turner, 76, died at his San Marcos home on Dec. 12.

Update on Wesley Snipes

(Photo: Chris Zuppa | Times)

Attorneys for Wesley Snipes have characterized Ocala, Florida, as racist and say he doesn’t have a shot at seating a single black juror for his federal tax evasion trial.

No blacks were part of the jury pool Monday as a judge questioned scores of Marion, Lake, Citrus and Sumter county residents about possibly serving on the month-long trial.

“There were no black faces in the courtroom except my client,” said Linda Moreno, one of the attorneys representing Snipes.

Snipes, 45, is accused of filing false tax return claims with the Internal Revenue Service in 1996 and 1997 that totaled $11.4-million. The IRS also claims that Snipes failed to file returns at all from 1999 to 2004.

Snipes had started his day with a prayer vigil at 7:15 a.m. at Greater New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Ocala. Organizers said about 150 people were there to show support. As he made his way to a waiting sport utility vehicle to leave, Snipes greeted his fans. At one point, he positioned his hands as if to pray. He nodded to the crowd and softly said, “God bless you.”

So now Wesley wants to see some black faces? But when he films these straight to DVD bootleg movies lately the leading lady is always white? It’s in his contracts that his leading lady be white or asia persuasion? Now he wants “black faces” to save his sorry ass? Nucca puhleeze! Screw Whitey Snipes.

I think it was noble that Marion Jones admitted her wrongdoing but it doesnt change that she lied. Ike turner overdosing doesnt surprise me but sad nonetheless. I will keep his family in my prayers. Wesley Snipes knows damn well u lied about his taxes and now the good old IRS caught up with him. I want to know why it took so long for them to catch him and I can miss one year and they sending me evil notices..smh

Marion: I really liked her and thought she was the next best thing in track and field. Wonder how long the marriage will last with her in the pen. I feel doubly sorry for her daughter, not being able to be with her mom for six months.

Ike: Blah

Wesley: Double Blah. He should have been using his connect with the Lord to keep him from committing tax fraud.

Was it really necessary to put Ike’s business out like that…that he died from a cocaine overdose? I mean, he was 76 and in failing health.

I say no, it was not necessary. Just another way to keep disgracing the man, even in death.

As far as Wesley, if he did the crime (so to speak) in an all White town/county area, what does he expect. I don’t understand why Black folks always want to run back to (embrace if you will) their “own” kind when the shit hits the fan. If he really wants to keep it real he outta ask for a jury with at least one Asian.

Re: Snipes…is he also the man who did not want to deal w/ black woman…or am I thinking of someone else…pls correct me if i am wrong.

Now he all concerned about having black people on his jury…see black faces…but he doesn’t want black babies???….
Maybe he should just pay his taxes…
what goes around comes back around…i thought i told you! quote from - J.T. a white man :-)

Lol@Wesley comments….I hope they don’t move his trial…He should have thought about this before he repeatedly screwed the IRS over….Lol@ whoever said he should have an asian on the jury…

dont worry about my name

Thursday, January 17, 2008 /

12 hit it on the money, I can’t stand people having a problem being black then looking to blacks for help when another race reminds then just how black they are. To come out your mouth and say you don’t date black women they are too much or whatever he said. To make sure none of your leading ladies are black. Wesley has the mentality of a racist himself. He shouldn’t want in black faces in the room ,doesn’t seem like he has wanted any around his whole life

WE ALL NEW OLE IKE TUNER WAS TREATING HIS NOSE, HELL WE ALL REMEMBER. WHAT HE DID TO TINA IN THE RECORDING BOOTH IN THE MOVIE WHEN HE WAS ON THE WHITE GIRL….SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THAT WAS NOT GOLD MEDAL FLOUR

I agree@#26….From these comments and what i’ve heard other other people say about Wesley, i don’t’ think he should be wishing and praying from some black people to be on the jury…Especially not a black woman…

LOL @asian juror jokes that sh** was too funny!!

#28, I agree with you 100%. I watched Marion Jones on Oprah’s show and I detected rudeness on Oprahs part too. I dont condone what Marion did, but we all make mistakes. None of us are perfect and I think to make a mistake and have the whole world look at you in judgement is more than enough punishment for any human being to handle. I thought in spite of everything she is going through, she handled her interview with grace and class. She is a prime example that God doesnt give us more than we can handle. I think someone with no spiritual foundation would have cracked under this sort of pressure.

It’s so funny how now that Wesley Snipes BLACK ASS is in trouble, he’s down with black people and want our support and prayer’s! Wesley Snipes has said over and over about how he doesnt like to date black women!! Oh, now you want black people to support you because your ass lied on your taxes?? Please!!! Wateva!!

Its nothing shocking about Ike. He knows darn well that he was too old to be sniffing cocaine!!! Its still sad though!

I appluade Marion Jones for coming out with the truth. Im sure that there are several other atheletes that are on steriods or have taken them. She seems very sincere about her actions. People make mistakes all day everyday. Admitting your mistakes and acknowledging the wrongs are the 1st step. She has done that and now shes willing to accept her punishment. So that should be enough for everyone!

41.

Just disgusted with Wesley

Thursday, January 17, 2008 /

That is a lie. I am from Ocala and it is not a totally racist place. I feel like if you are going to say anything say you think some of the Jurors are racist don’t put down the entire town just because you f’d up. I am African American and yes I do think he needs to face his consequences. If he never did anything illegal in the first place he wouldn’t have to step his a** in Ocala. They want to call it racist because we are in the south but there are racist people all over the globe. Man you are in court it’s not supposed to be fair. LOL

After all these years Ike was still on the powder. I don’t understand cocaine users it’s so harmful why would you use it? I wish he would have cleaned it up too bad and so sad. He would have still been with us.

Yes call on the Lord, but you still have to face responsibility. The prayer is for him is for God to see him through and comeout victoriously or on a payment plan.

Oprah was very rude to Marion. I was angry with Oprah “Dont call me ma’am again”. Hello Oprah you are old and Marion was showing humility.

Wesley good for your a$$. Like Tiger, OJ and all other black men that turn against your race. The white man a cometh to get you back in your place. Seems like they are Black when it is convenient.

Ike Turner — some people can never change.

I thought Oprah’s tone with Marion was perfect. I have much less respect for Marion after that interview than I did before it. Marion did not “make a mistake” — she got up on COUNTLESS occasions and told what my mother would call “bald-faced lies” about her steroid use. Then she tried to pass it off as if her conscience told her to come clean. No, Marion, it wasn’t your conscience — it was being found out as a liar by the FEDS. She got caught and that’s the only reason she “confessed.”

I think THAT was what Oprah was picking up on — the lack of Marion to still tell the 100% truth, plus her constant comments that she had some message to tell kids….blah, blah, blah…. God something or other….blah, blah, blah….

Damn Ike, to make it to age 76 and die of a damn cocaine overdose…

Wesley — WHATEVER!

I don’t understand where all this stuff about Wesley Snipes realizing that he’s black now that he’s in trouble is coming from. The brother has always been very conscious of his heritage and is very well-versed in black history. It may be a faulty version, but he is well-versed in it. He is affiliated with many black and African historical authors, does voiceovers for their audiobooks, and has for years. If certain sisters are offended that he married an Asian woman and may have made disparaging remarks about black women than they should say that. Unfortunately, strong-willed brothers like that don’t seem to have the discipline to be patient with sisters because of the knowledge that the black woman has been trained against the black man. It’s obvious that the brother is finished and is being set up to go up the river because he gave the white man an opportunity to get him. Wesley Snipes has never been a subservient negro on his movie sets and it’s coming back to him. They tried to bow him down in that ridiculous “To Wong Fu” film but they seem to have been unsuccessful. I remember seeing the posters for “Blade 3″ showing the star of the movie, Snipes, standing BEHIND the two steroided up, caucasian co-stars, and thinking to myself at that time that he was finished. The brother should’ve paid his damn taxes. The Most High cannot do that for him and if he is being persecuted, it’s his own fault.

Ike - no surprise there. “Eat the cake Anna Mae.”

Wesley is a joke. Whatev. I can’t stand when people play with God, and He can’t stand it either. God had nothing to do with you choosing not to pay your taxes you idiot. Why call on him now? Wesley needs prayer all right…and not “Lord please get me out of this mess” prayer…Whatev.

I feel for Marion Jones - I truly believe she got caught up in a really bad situation because of the men in her life (Tim Montgomery and that ex-husband were both roid users). I cannot imagine being separated from my child for 6 months…wow. I just pray she comes out this with peace of mind and a stronger relationship with God.

I cannot imagine what Marion is going to have to face in future and possibly for the rest of her life so i wish her the best.

I was reading up on one persons take on Ike a few days ago and i have to say that while the man had his faults, he has been kinda unfairly completeley demonized. I was very disgusted to read that Tina was considering doing a musical based on the movie. Anyway, people need to leave this man alone now. He is dead. R.I.P

Wesley …i do not care about.

I do not feel sorry for Marion Jones and I thought how Oprah talked to her was appropriate. There are plenty of drug users in my family and not once have I triedddd anything. Cry me a river she cannot be that naive.

Marion I think it’s dumb she told on herself after all this time. You see what telling the truth gets you = broke and jailtime

Wesley I don’t see what having black babies has to do with him just having someone of color in the jury stand. He’s always been black just doesn’t date black women everyone has they’re prefrence

on the rest so what

Wesley Snipes-Is a joke.. Who gives a damn about his preference #60. He has publicly stated that he no longer wishes to date black women, because we are loud, and do not take good care of our men. That is fine-Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

What gets me, is these ignorant people, make these ignorant statements. Turns around and cheats the IRS, and wants us to show up to a prayer vigil. WHAT A JOKE….Pray for what?-Wesley to become an honest man|?

I say, he needs to place a call to the Asian community and see how many of them show up to his vigil.. IDIOT

Oh Yeah–According to the bible-You are to pay Caesar what Caesar is due–and Honor the law of the land in which you live—

Wesley was up late-night watching that guy that comes on tv saying you don’t have to pay your taxes–and he chose to stop paying them–His argument is, there are other white people, that do this and get away with it–AGAIN–who the hell does he think he is–HE IS A JOKE.

#26 Needs to STFU… Oprah wasn’t rude to Marion Steroid Jones, Her azz was cheezing big time like nothing was wrong. Marion didn’t come clean, the owner of the company and others said they saw her do it. She lied to investigators and she was about to get TRIED IN FEDERAL court. She admitted when her azz knew she was gonna do serious time. She cheated all those other talented athletes that we never even heard of of their Gold medals and have the nerve to be all cockey about the whole ordeal. I liked her until I saw her on Oprah the other day, now I can’t stand the site of her and Mama O was right, everyone calls on God when in trouble but why couldn’t she just have faith to win the races without taking steroids. Now she’s gonna have health problems because of the steroids when she gets older. I don’t like people to be cheezing like that, at least act like youre sorry or something.

Oprah, in my opinion was not rude, she simply asked the questions we all wanted to know. “What were you thinking when you lied”, I think that is as direct as a question can get, and the sign of a seasoned reporter. I commend Marion for admitting her guilty, and facing her sentence with humility, dignity and grace. I think we can all learn a little from Marion, it is never to late to do the right thing, and that is the message I would want my children to take away from this unfortunate situation. God bless you Marion.

Just disgusted with Wesley

Friday, January 18, 2008 /

NO it is not a totally racist place. Every where you go has SOME racist people there but not everybody in town is racist and beleive it or not NOT ALL white people are racist either.I mean it is the south and there are still some people with that mentality but hell most of them are dead or on their way out LOL, SO like I said he don’t need to say that about the whole town because it’s not like that. It’s amazing how “racist” a place becomes when you’re ass goes on trial there. He may have a fair trial with all an all white jury because a lot of black people don’t have any sympathy for him at all, I know I don’t. GUILTY….He better be glad he didn’t get Judge Futch now that is one judge in Ocala that don’t give a damn about what color you are he will send you to jail if he woke up with a headache that morning. So he better consider himself lucky.

Its very unfortunate for all three…I feel bad for poor ole Ike because the world only knows him as a woman beater when in actuality he and many other men in this world do the same unfortunately..but he was put up on the totum pole for that..what he did was wrong and I never will accept that but as a man and human being we live and learn you have to let people wash away the past sometimes..

Wesley he had no business trying to cheat Uncle Sam and he knows it…but I still pray for his situation because no one deserves to sit in the box over something that can be fixed. I hate that there is no black person on this pool except Wesley…

Marion Jones I think the penalty was a little too harsh damn yall took the woman plaques now yall trying to take her soul. Shame on the juror and the judge..I bet if we all knew we can go to jail for being an athlete many people may never sign up to be one. You either got a wicked jump shot or slang crack rocks..but now a days both will get you in the pen…So what if she lied to the juror they not God. You lie you go to jail thats crazy..they need to arrest those murderers and other people in the world…hell you can get caught with some drugs and be out in a day or two but if you get caught lying and you black you get prison…Look at those white baseball players they lied and where they at…chilling retired and running from press like Roger Clemons and McGwire and Palmero but let a black person lie like Jones, or Vick then your going down racist still exists..

I hear what you are saying my beautiful black sistas,with regard to Brotha Wes rollin’ with an Asian Sista,but picture for a second,that you have a passport and 7 figures of disposable income and all the time you need to get rid of it???Everywhere you touch down there will be some dude who isn’t black that most of y’all WILL get with,be honest…I’m just saying Give Bro.Wes a break,he is facing some serious effing time here! I still love Venus Williams,and she is engaged to some broke ass cave boy with 2 effing kids.My point is anybody who saw that John Henry Clark doc and how mind opening it was can’t say that Bro.Wes is a sellout.

I still stand behind my comment about Wesley. Yes, Wesley Snipes has said repeatedly that he’s not interested in black women. I can also remember some sterotypical remarks that he has said as well. Please dont offend this idiot because of some ” oh he is a strong black man, and those type of men cant deal with the sterotypical black woman”!! He can chose to marry and date with wateva type of woman that he wants. All I’m saying is that, dont try to ask those same black women that you spoke dispise, to bow down with you in prayer! Call all the Asian and Caucasian women!!! Those are the ones that you want interested in! Why is he at black churches asking for prayers! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marion Jones is a fraud and it’s disgusting that some of you are defending her yet criticizing Wesley Snipes. BOTH WESLEY and MARION lied to the FEDS and that’s why they both gonna end up doing time.

Marion Jones might be talented but we will never know because instead of runinng clean she decided to juice up. Those medals she won defined her and deprived other runners who ran honestly. She’s nothing but a cheat just like the Chairman of the International Olympic Committee said she was.

Wesley Snipes can go fuck himself because he aint shit too. What makes this nigga think he doesn’t have to pay taxes? Who told him that? What led him to believe such foolishness? I hope they give him 50 more years for being that stupid.
