Wesley Snipes, Bronx, was found guilty Friday on three misdemeanor charges of failing to file tax returns — but more importantly, jurors cleared him of more serious felony charges of tax fraud and conspiracy.
Snipes looked at a five year stretch in prison on both the conspiracy and fraud charges. He was found guilty of only half — three out of six — of the failure to file charges. He faces a maximum one-year sentence on each but most likely will get less.
Snipes, pretty dapper throughout the trial, was suited down in a black suit, smiled and thanked well-wishers outside the courthouse — walking with his hands held in a prayer position (good style). He did not make a statement or take questions from the media (good move).
Snipes, was an actor in two G Manifesto Certified Classics, “New Jack City” and “King of New York”.

Many people think Floyd talks too much. Many people think he is too brash, obnoxious, and cocky (coincidentally, I have been accused many times of the same things). There are certain populations of America that hate Mayweather.
What these people fail to understand is that what Floyd often does, is win the fight before him and his opponent even step in the ring. Watch this clip of Floyd and Oscar de la Hoya:
Floyd Mayweather shakes up Oscar De La Hoya
The interesting thing about the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton is that it doesn’t “seem” that Hatton is affected by Mayweather. And he might not be affected, which is what makes the fight interesting. I have a feeling that Hatton is being rattled.
Best line so far by Floyd “I know Hatton is 43-0. I can tell you he hasn’t fought 43Floyd Mayweathers. If he did he would be 0-43!”

I have always held a certain affinity for professional female tennis players. Hell, I have swooped may fair share. And although I have never swooped Anna Kournikova, I have smoked cigarettes with her on Miami Beach.
Martina Hingis has recently retired because she has failed a test which revealed trace of cocaine in her blood. Hingis denies that she has ever used cocaine.
My opinion on the whole deal is: Who cares? Either way, it’s not like cocaine really helped her tennis that much. Even if it did, give female tennis players a pass. After all, professional female tennis players are some of the flyest girls out there. They are the last type of girls we want to crack down on as a society. Personally, I think we should crack down on white girls that can’t dance. But that might just be me.
Even if she did beeks, who really cares? Someone has to buy cocaine. Cocaine makes the world go round. Right? It help build the skyscrapers in Miami anyway. Cocaine Cowboys.
Khun Sa, The Golden Triangle Opium King has died at 73 in Yangon, Myanmar (formerly Burma), anonymous sources say. For decades, Khun Sa was The G of the Heroin trade in the Golden Triangle; which ecompasses the northern part of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Mynanmar has been closed to outside journalists since the ruling junta cracked down due to recent anti-government protests.
Today, the Golden Triangle only produces about 5 percent of the world’s opium, down from 70 percent thirty years ago. Afghanistan now is the top dog poppy seed producer.
At the peak of Khun Sa’s reign, he controlled over 70 percent of the countries heroin biz. He ruled the “manor” with an army of tens of thousands and crazy heroin labs. He even had his own fiefdom, the Shan empire, in the northern reaches of Burma and fought for his people’s freedom. He is known by his people as someone who always fought for their survival, a true Man of The People. He even refered to himself as The King of the Golden Triangle.
Banksy, the dope Graffiti artist, might have been caught in a picture for the first time while painting. He was caught on a camera phone extending double yellow lines from a road on to a wall of a house to form a big yellow flower (I can’t stand camera phones).
An East London council has declared a zero tolerance policy to graffiti and street art but word on the street is the wall is private property.
This news comes after 10 of Banksy’s pieces sold for more that $900,000, well above the prediction of $600,000, like I predicted: Banksy: Art and Thieves go hand in hand.
The best part about Banksy is that he has become so embraced by the establishment that he is against. Now that’s G.
