Wesley Snipes by Fussbett 04/30/2005, 4:24am PDT
INC and I were discussing Wesley Snipes today, which is always fun.

INC: Welsey Snipes claims in his lawsuit over Blade3 that the producers paired him with an all white cast to keep him isolated.
INC: He also continues to be terrible at paying his taxes and is about to lose ANOTHER home because of it.
Sanitario666: However, Snipes has appealed to tax workers to turn their attention to his brother - because he's the one who purchased the house.

He says, "My brother, my uncle and my father (and I) all have Wesley Snipes in our names."

But any hope Snipes has of escaping the fines has been dashed by the official records which show the house is registered to Wesley Trent Snipes, who was born on July 31, 1962 - the actor's birthday.

INC: I guess the next Christmas dinner won't be tense
Sanitario666: I like that he expected you can't check on those facts.
INC: yeah, it just says W SNIPES. It could be anyone.
INC: and lest we forget:
INC: And movie insiders tell British magazine OK! that Snipes was so furious about his marginalized role, he made physical threats against Goyer. An insider confides, "Wesley made death threats against David. David was scared for his life." But a spokesperson for Goyer counters, "Wesley is a method actor. There's always a lot of tension on set."
INC: yeah, whatever it takes for Wesley to get into his comic book role is fine.
Sanitario666: Snipes hasn’t stopped there; he’s also playing the race card, claiming that he was harassed and defamed in connection with Blade: Trinity because he is African American.
INC: he is?
INC: ...is what I would say, if I were the named party in the suit.
INC: Wesley Snipes has pulled out of all press duties for his third Blade movie Blade: Trinity. The moody actor was so insistent on not talking to the media about the movie, he signed up for another film in Bulgaria as soon as shooting finished and he has been incommunicado ever since. Trinity producer Peter Frankfurt says, "Wesley is in Bulgaria shooting a movie. He's done three movies in Bulgaria. Actually I haven't talked to Wesley. Wesley won't return my calls."
Sanitario666: He remains wanted on a warrant in New York for failing to take a court-ordered DNA test in a long-simmering paternity case. Snipes has refused to cooperate in the case involving Lanise Pettis, an Indiana woman who claims Snipes fathered her son from a crackhouse rendezvous in 2000.

INC signed off at 16:23:42.

That crackhouse part blew INC right off the internet. I hadn't even gotten to Snipes' personal army yet!

The Royal Guard of Amen-Ra's posting on the Internet site "cooljobs.com" seeks 200 people for "an elite team of highly trained men and women who will provide the following services: International and domestic risk management; intelligence and protective operations; V.I.P./executive protection to dignitaries and celebrities; special event security; counter-surveillance and counter terrorist measures."

A representative of The Royal Guard of Amen-Ra used the 257-acre property's address - 290 Shady Dale Road - in December to file an application for a permit with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for the "purchase, movement, travel and storage of various weapons and ammunition nationwide to provide security, security guard and firearms training services."

With a person named "Hah" and a cult called the "Nuwaubians", that page is a tough read.

Finally I came across this great first person account of an attempt to get an interview with Snipes for Spin magazine on the set of Blade Trinity. If you read one webpage today, it should be this: http://hollywoodbitchslap.com/feature.php?feature=1451
“He’s a dick,” I was told by a crew member who asked to remain anonymous, due to her executive position with the film. “He’s the star of this fucking movie, it’s the only thing he’s got going for him in his career, and he treats us all like idiots. Even his own co-stars! He doesn’t talk to them face to face, instead he has his assistant do it. He refers to Ryan Reynolds as ‘that cracker’… ‘tell that cracker to get out of my eyeline,’ and ‘tell that cracker to get his lines right.’ He refers to Jessica Biel as ‘that girl’. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like this in a decade in production, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone is working so hard to make up for his crap, I probably would have walked, first week."
