Snipes Pleads To Be Allowed To Film Abroad

Troubled Hollywood star Wesley Snipes is begging a judge to let him leave the U.S. so he can shoot two movies in Britain and Thailand, while he is appealing his conviction for tax fraud. The Blade star was handed a three-year prison sentence in April after officials found him guilty of failing to file taxes for five years. The 45-year-old is currently free on appeal, and has filed paperwork requesting permission to shoot Gallowwalker in London and Chasing The Dragon in Bangkok, insisting the money he earns from the two projects will "satisfy his civil tax liabilities". In court documents, filed on Wednesday , Snipes' lawyer Daniel Meachum insists the actor is not a flight risk because "were he to abscond under these circumstances, it would destroy his ability to earn a living for the rest of his life." Meachum adds, "Mr.Snipes will, of course, voluntarily return after his work on this film - as he has done each time he has been granted permission by this court." But Snipes' request may be hampered by the fact the movie star failed to return to America immediately after charges were brought against him in 2006 - he was filming Gallowwalker in Namibia.

First kiss in the Big Brother pool

After 33 days, the first real kiss took place in the 'Big Brother' pool last night.
Kathreya kissed new arrival Sara while in the pool with the other housemates.
Channel 4's website reports that Sara had joked: "Kat wants to kiss me, we all know that."
After giggling underwater, Kathreya said: "No. I can't do it."
Sara replied: "Boo. I'm humiliated now."
Kathreya then swam across the pool and kissed Sara, to the cheers of the other housemates.
Sara said: "Kat kissed a girl. I feel a connection with you."
Kathreya joked: "OK. I kiss you tomorrow. Same time. In the pool."
The latest nominations will be announced in the house today.

Born in 1971, Rusell Allen ground himself, like so many musicians, thrust into the thick of a musical family. His family's interests, however, were in the charge of country music, rather than Allen's chosen style of hard rock/heavy metal. After playacting with legion nameless bands, Allen joined Symphony X in 1995. He was the successor for original singer Rod Tyler and has been with the band ever since.
