1. The Paris
In a motion filed June 4, Wesley Snipes’ lawyers say the actor is being prosecuted on tax evasion charges because of his race. And if that argument fails, there’s always Plan B: “Mom! It’s not fair!”
2. Measure for measure
True, putting Paris Hilton back in jail doesn’t necessarily improve quality of life in this country. Quality of amateur sex tape, however …
3. Throb story
The American Headache Society met in town last week for a conference. Disappointingly, the group offered no solution for Rachael Ray or the dude from “Mad Money.”
4. Parting ways
There’s bed-head and then there’s “Zach Braff-head.”
5. Appointment TV
Isaiah Washington says he’s “mad as hell” about getting fired from “Grey’s Anatomy.” He also happens to be the first guy I’ve ever heard complain about seeing less of that show.
6. Safety first
Fergie says the Black Eyed Peas have been too busy to record another album but “we’re not going away.” As if the Centers for Disease Control didn’t have enough to deal with right now with this tuberculosis guy.
7. Looks can deceive
In a poll for “Access Hollywood,” Matt Damon was voted sexier than George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Of course, it helped him that people thought they were choosing between Clooney, Pitt and a short-haired Jessica Biel.
8. Gold rush
The Recording Academy will award Grammys in two additional categories, meaning there are now 14 people on Earth who won’t be getting a Grammy this year.
9. Cut to the chase
Kenny Chesney named his next album “Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates.” Listen, if you want an excuse to wear ruffled shirts, just come out and say it.
