“The best answer to anger is silence.” – Author Unknown.

Sometimes, we are quick to label a person as evil because they have acted in rage or anger. However, anger is really a representation of a need that is not being fulfilled. A bad temper will never solve your problem; in fact, it will only make it worse. Take time to deal with the source of your anger before you do something that you regret. If you don’t you may end up suffering more from your anger and grief than the person who caused it.

When you’re facing jail time, and your appeal has been tossed, you gotta start getting “creative.” In Wesley Snipes latest attempt to avoid going to jail for not filing his taxes, he is now requesting to speak to jurors in his case. Keep reading to find out why…

In 2008, Wesley snipes was convicted of 3 (misdemeanor counts) of “willful failure” to file his income tax returns. Currently, he is free on an appeals bond (which was denied last week). Since then, federal prosecutors have requested that the judge revoke Snipes’ bond so that he may begin serving his 3-year sentence.

However, Snipes’ attorney’s now want to question jurors in his case. Their notion? The jurors ALREADY had their minds made up about Snipes’ “innocent” BEFORE the trial even began. Now, Snipes’ Attorneys must prove this is true in order to prove that he was “denied the right to a fair trial.” Yall think its gonna work?

As we all know, the Dream released a statement announcing his “separation” from singer, Christina Milian 2 weeks ago. What we don’t know is the “why?” The Dream filed for divorce just 9 days BEFORE Christina gave birth to their daughter, Violet stating that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” However, Christina has another version of the story…

Story Source: TMZ (<–click link for related stories)

Milian is pissed over The-Dream’s claim that they were legally separated when he filed the divorce docs back in February … just nine days before she gave birth to their daughter.

In her legal response, filed last week in Georgia, Milian claims the marriage wasn’t really kaput when he filed the divorce docs — and subsequently had “marital relations on numerous occasions.”

But Milian also claims that if the court does grant the divorce — it shouldn’t be based on The-Dream’s claim that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” — but rather because the The-Dream was cheating on her.

But it gets worse …

In the docs, Milian admits that she signed a settlement agreement with The-Dream in which both parties waved any alimony or ownership right’s to the other person’s property.

But Milian claims she only signed the docs because The-Dream brought them to her bedside when she was 9-months pregnant … when she was in no condition to sign such important papers.
