Wesley Snipes

is in trouble for going to a party in Dubai. A federal judge last year said Snipes could travel only to London and Bangkok for work on the movies "Gallowwalker" and "Chasing the Dragon."
"Defendant Snipes abused the Court's trust, and did so in a very public way," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in its motion. "For that reason alone, the Court should deny his current request for international travel." The federal prosecutors also asked that Snipes' bond be revoked pending the appeal.
Good luck with that Wes.

Michael Vick Is Out Of Jail

and already in trouble. The Federal Labor Department is accusing Vick, who was released from jail to home confinement yesterday, of making a series of prohibited transfers from a pension plan sponsored by MV7, a celebrity marketing company he owns. The department alleges that Vick violated his duties as trustee of the pension plan that covers nine current or former MV7 employees. They say he used the money to pay the criminal restitution imposed on him after his federal dogfighting conspiracy conviction.

Kobe Bryant's Maid Is Suing

because his wife Vanessa is a witch. Kobe's maid filed a lawsuit for invasion of privacy, emotional distress, unpaid wages and wrongful discharge. In the suit Miss Maid Lady says Vanessa routinely "badgered, harassed and humiliated" her by yelling, screaming and criticizing her in front of Kobe, their children, employees, other people in the house and called her lazy, slow, dumb, a fucking liar and a fucking piece of shit. The maid also says Vanessa accused her of stealing her retainer. Her retainer!? What the hell can anybody do with somebody else's retainer? Aren't they custom fit to your mouth? Anyway, Maid Lady says the last straw came when Vanessa forced her to put her hand in a bag of dog shit to retrieve a price tag of a shirt she'd put in the washer. Vanessa was furious that Maid had put the expensive piece in the wash and wanted the price tag so she would know how much to dock Maid's pay.

Sounds Like A Set Up

Toni Braxton Impersonator Jailed In Suriname

Las Vegas celebrity impersonator Trina Johnson has been languishing in a Surinamese jail ever since she was unwittingly used in a Toni Braxton concert scam in February. Trina Johnson says she was booked to do a tribute concert to Toni Braxton in Suriname only to find out that concert goers were expecting the real thing. Moments into her second song the audience of 1500 began pelting her with bottles and booing. She was arrested shortly after. Meanwhile the concert promoter and all the proceeds from the concert were nowhere to be found. Trina is facing a three-year prison sentence after authorities in the Latin American republic accused her of fraud for impersonating singer Toni Braxton even though Trina claims to have a contract that clearly states she was booked to impersonate the singer. Prosecutors in Suriname are allowed to detain the accused up to 67 days, and there's no such thing as bail. Trina's husband was also arrested but he was released after spending 2 weeks in a 8 feet by 10 foot open-air jail cell with no heat and no lights and 11 other prisoners existing on a breakfast of one cup of hot tea and a small piece of bread. A combined lunch and dinner consisting of a cup of boiled rice and maybe 2 ounces of protein, either fish, chicken or "mystery meat" and later at night, a cup of flavored water.
