’Tis the season to pay the piper, y’all…and by “piper” we mean “the taxman who pipes you out every April 15.” So if you’re expecting a rebate, send it our way (trees are expensive!)—and if you come out on the other side of the ledger, we strongly suggest you at least consider coming up off that check, lest you wind up like Method Man, who got his ride repossessed a couple of weeks back.
It’s old news by now, though his original excuse that he forgot because he was high (which he’s since angrily recounted) struck us as his worst idea since sticking with Def Jam. And since we’re shameless recyclers, it also struck us as perfect fodder for a list. We love lists. You love lists. Don’t fight the lists. And read on for Meth and six other public figures who need to rethink their rationales…

After he got a 3 year prison sentence last week for tax evasion, we feared that the great Wesley Snipes‘ career was over. But after watching the trailer for his new movie GallowWalker, we have a new reason to have hope. In this unusual take on the Western genre, Wesley plays a gun-slingin’ bounty hunter whose victims always rise from the dead, thanks to a pesky curse that was cast upon him after his nun mother broke a covenant with God.
Hong Kong action star Chow-Yun Fat was originally supposed to play the lead role, but Wesley ended up getting it made after he dropped out. After a slew of straight to DVD stinkers, it looks like this will be the first Snipes flick in theatres since 2004’s Blade: Trinity when it’s released some time in 2009. In the meantime, watch the new trailer after the jump.

Uncle Sam might want you, but for now he'll make do with Wesley Snipes. Late yesterday, the actor's long tax-evasion troubles finally came to an end, with a $5 million fine and three years in prison'the maximum jail term possible for the charge of “willfully failing to file returns.” In his prepared apology statement, Snipes said, “I am an idealistic, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritually motivated artist, unschooled in the science of law and finance.” Which should go over just fine in the yard.
We'll miss you, Wesley, and your recent spate of straight to DVD stinkers. And try as he might, your porn namesake can never fully fill the hole you're leaving behind, despite his formidable resume. Do your bid and hurry home! After the jump, check our meticulously curated retroscpective of Senor Snipes's finest screen moments.
