Stephen Baldwin Arrested Over $350K Tax Bill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Stephen Baldwin has been arrested over an alleged unpaid $350,000 tax bill.
The 46-year-old actor is accused of failing to pay income tax in Rockland County, 15 miles northwest of Manhattan, for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 and was bailed pending a February 2013 court appearance.
Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe told the New York Daily News, "At a time when Rockland County and New York State face severe fiscal shortfalls, we cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes. The defendant's repetitive failure to file returns and pay taxes over a period of several years contributes to the sweeping cutbacks and closures in local government and in our schools."
The arrest comes six months after a court rejected born-again Christian Stephen's claim that he and a friend missed out on a lucrative contract with oil company BP thanks to Kevin Costner and his business partner in oil cleanup, Patrick Smith.

Lindsay Lohan has been charged with lying to the police over a car accident in June.
The Liz & Dick actress was involved in a crash on the Pacific Coast Highway near Los Angeles earlier this year and has now officially been charged after she told officers she was a passenger in the car involved, when she is believed to have been driving.
This comes just hours after Lindsay was arrested for hitting a woman in a club in New York, after she allegedly became upset when Max George from The Wanted started chatting up the other woman, according to TMZ.
Now, in order to escape a significant jail term for these transgressions, Lindsay's team are encouraging her to check into rehab for six months. "Lindsay's manager and agent have been telling her for months that she must go to rehab to save her life. Until now she has resisted, but after her arrest this morning she sees she needs help. It's very likely that Lindsay will throw herself at the mercy of the court and hopes to avoid jail time by going to rehab for at least six months," a source said.

Daryl Hannah Arrested Over Oil Protest
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Kind Acts, Legal Issues,
Daryl Hannah has been arrested in Texas. The Kill Bill actress was taken into custody for criminal trespassing and resisting arrest and held at the Wood County Jail after she and a landowner stepped in front of machinery to halt the construction of an oil pipeline.
Daryl and 78-year-old Eleanor Fairchild were hoping to stop the progress of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipe through the latter's farmland in Winnsboro - which was subject to a compulsory purchase order for the project - almost a hundred miles east of Dallas. The pipeline is deigned to bring crude oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
Daryl's agent, Paul Bassis, said the protesters were likely to be kept in jail last night, adding, "They've arrested Daryl Hannah and a rural Texas great-grandmother. The streets of Winnsboro will be much safer tonight now that they've gotten that 78-year-old great grandmother off the streets."
Daryl has previously been arrested for protesting against the pipeline in Washington D.C. in 2011.

Paris Hilton's boyfriend River Viiperi has been arrested for misdemeanor battery.
The 31-year-old socialite and her 21-year-old beau were partying at Las Vegas' XS nightclub inside the Encore hotel in the early hours of Monday morning when the Spanish model punched an onlooker in the face. According to gossip website TMZ, a male party-goer filed a police report claiming his girlfriend was "making out" with Paris on the dancefloor when a jealous River punched him so hard that he needed medical attention.
The leggy blonde - who was formerly banned from all Steve Wynn owned hotels after being arrested for cocaine possession - is adamant she wasn't kissing another girl and that River simply stepped in to protect her from a couple who were harassing her.
"Paris is steadfast that she never made out with another girl at the nightclub in Las Vegas. Paris is very upset that River got arrested because it was his first trip to Las Vegas. According to Paris, another couple had been harassing them at XS, and the guy was getting to close to the hotel heiress, and River just shoved him away from his girlfriend. River didn't hit the dude, he was just protecting Paris and trying to give them a little space," an insider said.
