Pop Culture: Pay or Play the Man

Written by Dee Brun

This week there has been some strange happenings in the land of Hollywood CelebrityʼVille, but isnʼt that always the case...

So where do I begin, letʼs start with the tax man.

This past Thursday Wesley Snipes entered McKean Federal Correctional Institution to start serving a 3 year sentence for failing to file taxes. pop_culture_tax_evasion_jailThe father of 5 was convicted back in 2008 and has been appealing the conviction ever since and has obviously failed. This story led me to another about the tax man, go figure, involving Nicholas Cage. I had no clue he was into the man for 14 MILLION dollars, I knew he had issues just did not they were so expensive. Apparently he just made a payment of $360 545.00. Well, thatʼs a start...How the hell does this happen? How to these people NOT know they have not paid taxes. They always “Claim” their manager ripped them off and did not file. Seriously, is one that into themselves and oblivious to all else that they donʼt pay attention to their own finances? Hmmm wish I had that problem just for a day!

John Travolta is gay, well at least that is what Carries Fisher is saying and itʼs not the first time sheʼs said it. According to two separate interviews in the Advocate, Carrie has come right our and said that everyone “Knows” but he (John Travolta) is just not comfortable with it. Travolta was first publicly called gay by a porn star Paul Barresi. He gave an interview about an alleged gay relationship with Travolta. He later took it all back and said the story was true. I have heard these rumors about Travolta many times, as well as Cruise and others. What do you think? Are they deep deep deep in the closet?

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden made it official and got married. Werenʼt they already...and end scene.

For the first time an all female team wins The Amazing Race. This is one of my many guilty pleasures, I love this show. It is the only reality show that I would ever do. Would love to do it with my husband, now that would make for good television. The doctors Nat and Kat took first place bragging rights as well as the million dollars. An all girl team also came second, quite a season for girl power. So would you do it? what reality show would you be on?
