AMERICAN GANGSTER Wesley (Photo: Getty Images) • Snipes acquitted of tax fraud and conspiracy charges: Yeah, seriously. The tax code gambit is known in accountant circles as the 861 argument, and your 2007 taxes are due ... well, we don't know when they're due. But they're coming up.

Michelle Williams reflects: What with all this Snipes acquittal news, we nearly overlooked the heartfelt words of Michelle on the untimely passing of Heath Ledger, the father of her baby, Matilda.

Hot new track!: Heidi Montag's new single debuts over at the Us Weekly site. It's called "Higher." You know who's probably totally high right now? Snipes.
