Actor Wesley Snipes faces up to three-year prison term
Posted on Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 11:54 am by The IDMA Team

Wesley Snipes is facing three years in prison after losing an appeal against his conviction for tax offences.

Lawyers for the actor, whose films include the Blade trilogy, had argued the sentence was "unreasonable".

But the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta found that a three-year term in federal prison was appropriate.

In February 2008, Snipes was found guilty of deliberately failing to file tax returns for 1999, 2000 and 2001.

TORONTO, ON (Wednesday, June 9, 2010) – Two-time world champion “The Canadian Kid” Steve Molitor (32-1, 12 KO’s) loves the United Kingdom. In November of 2006 he captured the IBF Junior Featherweight with a 5th round KO over Michael Hunter, in Hartlepool, and is 3-0 in Great Britain as a professional.

On July 23rd, Molitor returns to the UK to begin his second reign as IBF 122 lb. champion, when he defends his newly recaptured title against British and Commonwealth Super Bantamweight champion Jason Booth (35-5, 15 KO’s).

Molitor’s first trip to England, in September of 2002, saw him dominate Booth’s younger brother Nicky over 12 rounds to capture the Commonwealth Bantamweight title.

Two more women accuse Steven Seagal of sexual abuse

Two more women accuse Steven Seagal of sexual abuse

Two more women have accused Steven Seagal of making unwanted sexual advances while they worked as his assistant.

The women have submitted sworn declarations to help ex-model Kayden Nguyen, who is suing Seagal for 1 million dollars, claiming he used her “like a sex toy” and expected her to pleasure him sexually after landing a job as his personal assistant.

In one of the declarations, obtained by TMZ.com, one woman claims Seagal groped her breasts, telling her he was ‘checking just as a doctor would for lumps.’

The document adds, “Seagal reached his hand down my pants. He said, ‘I just wanted to touch it for a second to see what it felt like.’”

Both women allege they quit working for Seagal after he made inappropriate sexual advances, reports the New York Daily News.

However, Seagal’s lawyer Marty Singer has dismissed the claims as “absurd”, insisting the actor has never even met the two women.

“A preliminary check of his employment records does not show that they ever worked for him. The declarations were clearly prepared by Nguyen’s lawyer to be leaked to the media to help bolster his client’s meritless claims,” Singer said.

Ex-model Kayden Nguyen is suing the "Under Siege" tough guy for $1 million, claiming he used her "like a sex toy" and expected her to pleasure him sexually after landing a job as his executive assistant.

She also alleges that Seagal had two Russian girls "who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week" - and she was expected to replace one of them.

The allegations have thrown the future of Seagal's show, Steven Seagal Lawman, into doubt - after the sheriff who works alongside the actor in the series kicked the film crew out of his office.

Jackie Chan - Chan's Charitable Birthday Celebration

Action hero JACKIE CHAN celebrated his 56th birthday on Wednesday (07Apr10) by raising money for those affected by a drought in China.

The martial arts star gathered friends and family to mark his special day with a big bash, where he handed out presents and invited the Tibetan band Ajia to perform.

Instead of handing him gifts, Chan's pals contributed $47,500 (£32,000) to a charity fund to help residents in China's southwest Yunnan province, who are suffering from a severe water shortage - and the actor generously offered to match the money raised.

In posts on his Twitter.com page, Chan writes, "Everybody told me to make a wish. My wish is for world peace... For my birthday party, all my friends donated a total of $325,000 RMB (Chinese yuan) for the drought in Yunnan. I will donate the same & help out the world!"
