Delaying, avoiding, deflecting, ducking, working the system – whatever you want to call it, Wesley Snipes has run out of time and must start serving his jail term for tax evasion. A judge has ordered the actor to enter a federal prison in Pennsylvania by December 9th.

The actor was convicted in 2008 for failing to pay or report $38 million dollars in earnings. His lawyers appealed the decision and he remained free on bond. The Blade actor lost his last appeal but attorneys are mounting another legal maneuver. Snipes’ legal eagles asked a Florida judge to extend bail for the actor while he was appealing but his federal trial judge said, time’s up!

I would try putting it off as long as I could too. Then again, I report and pay all my taxes…

Britney Spears’ life has been a part of so much speculation and unfortunately for her, even when she tries to stay out of the limelight someone pulls in her in.

Star magazine published a report that Jason Alexander (her former husband of approximately 3 minutes,) secretly recorded a phone conversation with the singer. Britney blurted out that her current fiance, Jason Trawick has beaten her and given her a black eye. According to the article, Alexander claims to have remained friends with Spears and the pop star still talks to him and confides in him.

The alleged Britney on tape also says that she was pregnant by Trawick, he only kinda sorta works for her now, they are not actually engaged and her father Jamie Spears, has a gun and is “just waiting to use it.”

If you listen to the audio – something is off. The woman who is supposed to be Britney has a much deeper tone and Spears voice often sounds very scratchy, none of that is apparent on the audio. I’m no Spears expert, but I Googled other interviews with her speaking – they did not sound the same at all. There are also weird feedback/buzzing noises that conveniently happen in breaks in the conversation.

Listen to the audio here and decide for yourself.

Reps for Britney are adamant that this tape is false false false and are going to sue sue sue (most likely.)

“This is just another example of the irresponsible nature of the tabloid media relying on shoddy sources and false information for the sole purpose of selling magazines, without regard to the truth and without regard to who they hurt in the process.”  The rep says Star was informed that the story was bogus in advance, but still published it.

I really hope this does indeed turn out to be untrue. Britney deserves to be left alone. If the story is true and no one helped her – they should all rot.

What do you think of that audio? Does that sound like Britney to you?

Reese Witherspoon is pink and pretty for the Glamour cover of January 2011 issue. The actress talks about aging in Hollywood, romantic comedies, having more kids and her amazing life:

On how getting older makes her feel sexier:
“I think as a woman, you get older, you feel more confident in your sexuality. You’re not as intimidated by it, not as embarrassed by it. Sexuality and femininity is an accumulation of age and wisdom and comfort in your own skin. I feel better–so much better now than I ever did in my twenties. I am calmer; I know who I am. And as a result, I feel much sexier.”

On women in Hollywood:
“There’s always going to be somebody younger or sexier. That’s why I like to say, and it’s become my famous line, ‘Funny doesn’t sag.’”

On having more kids:
“I would love to have more kids. Kids are the best part of my day. I don’t wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family.”

On her life:
“I’m really, really lucky. I’ve got a lot of love in my life. I’ve got great friends. I have two great kids whom I make pancakes for every Sunday. I’m very blessed.”

On making romantic comedies:
“I love romantic comedies. I watch them all the time. I love all my fellow female romantic comedy queens, like Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner and Katie Heigl. I also think that the questions romantic comedies ask about men and women are universal.”

Reese’s latest film, How Do You Know with Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson opens December 17th.

Royal etiquette can be an intense maze of rules and egos and with the announcement of Prince William’s engagement to Kate Middleton, it’s about to get a little stickier. The tradition and respect that is engendered by a person’s position and closeness to Queen Elizabeth dictate that some members of the Royal Family have to curtsy (or bow) to each other.

Of course, everyone bends at the knee for the Queen herself, but with Prince Charles marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles, the hard feelings some had toward Camilla prompted the Queen to revise the “pecking” order of who gives one and when a curtsy is required.

To some, it may seem bizarre in the 21st century that anyone is curtsying to anyone else, but behind palace doors they’re at it like mad. And who gets curtsied to matters a great deal, for in the Royal Family one-upmanship is rife.

In 2005 the Queen reworked the palace precedent of having the wife of the future King (Camilla) only get curtsied to if Prince Charles was present. If he was not in the room, she went to the bottom of the immediate family list – behind Princesses Anne, Alexandra, Beatrice and Eugenie. With this new wrinkle in the rulebook, Camilla could be the one curtsying to Kate if Charles is not in the room, which completely breaks with Royal tradition – considering Camilla is married to Charles and that he is truly next in line for the throne (albeit not the popular choice) that is pretty remarkable.

‘The problem is of the Queen’s making,’ says the courtier. ‘She broke an iron rule in order to placate her daughter, Anne, and cousin, Alexandra, at the time of Charles’s marriage to Camilla. But it’s a mess, and certainly Anne won’t be curtseying to Kate any time soon.’

Brian Hoey agrees. As the Princess Royal’s official biographer, he knows her better than most. ‘Kate shouldn’t take fright with Princess Anne,’ he says. ‘She’ll be extremely formal with her, that’s the way she is. But she’ll be treated with courtesy and respect.’

This is so out dated and in the end, it’s an unfortunate situation for Kate, who will already face opposition just because she is a “commoner” much in the way that Princess Diana did.

Good luck navigating that mess, Kate!

Johnny Depp still has it. Just check out the January 2011 cover of Vanity Fair with the handsome actor laying back and his skull and cross bones tattoo peeking out. Legendary singer Patti Smith got the favored creative partner of Tim Burton talking about his Pirates of the Caribbean character Jack Sparrow and working with Angelina Jolie on their film The Tourist:

Disney Just Didn’t Get It: “I think it was Michael Eisner, the head of Disney at the time, who was quoted as saying, ‘He’s ruining the movie.’ Depp reveals to Smith, however, that he remained unfazed by the studio’s hysteria. “Upper-echelon Disney-ites, going, What’s wrong with him? Is he, you know, like some kind of weird simpleton? Is he drunk? By the way, is he gay?… And so I actually told this woman who was the Disney-ite… ‘But didn’t you know that all my characters are gay?’ Which really made her nervous.”

Angelina Jolie Really Is Awesome: “Meeting her and getting to know her was a real pleasant surprise. You don’t know what she might be like—if she has any sense of humor at all. I was so pleased to find that she is incredibly normal, and has a wonderfully kind of dark, perverse sense of humor. [...] I’ve had the honor and the pleasure and gift of having known Elizabeth Taylor for a number of years,” he says. “You know, you sit down with her, she slings hash, she sits there and cusses like a sailor, and she’s hilarious. Angie’s got the same kind of thing, you know, the same approach.”

Depp has a wonderful approach to everything. I (and countless others) just love him.
