Wesley Snipes Finds a Great Place to Hide from the IRS

Where: Namibia

There is a new reason to join the merry band of celebs hopping around Africa aside from adopting a child for their collection or just gaining some press coverage--hiding out from the IRS.

Wesley Snipes has supposedly been hanging out in Namibia while shooting a movie. But the actor has also been slapped with tax fraud charges to tune of $12 million so perhaps making a movie is the new "ate nothing all day and had one margarita" before getting pulled over for a DUI.

While Snipes could face up to sixteen years in jail if convicted on all charges, so far there's been no extradition request issued to Namibia. So he's free to explore all the region has to offer.

The African country has already been forever changed by a heavenly visit from Brangelina, and is also the birthplace of the new messiah for celebrity children everywhere, Shiloh Jolie Pitt. Yet if the country could allow Shiloh to spread her wings and fly to her castle in Malibu, there's no reason why they wouldn't send Snipes back . That is, unless he brought copies of "White Men Can't Jump" with him.

Namibia Asks for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's First Born

First, Brad and Angelina defected to Namibia (in a possible attempt to destroy the country's fragile infrastructure), and now they've supposedly given rights to their baby's name in exchange for the inconvenience.

It has been reported in a number of pseudo-reputable British publications that Brangelina have given the right to name their perfect child to Namibian governor Samuel Nuuyoma. While the stars' reps refute the claim, Nuuyoma says, "It's true...This is a great honor for Namibia, and everyone is very excited." We know we certainly are, but could it really be any worse a name than Apple, or Moon Unit?

Who are we to believe? A regional Namibian tribal leader, or Pitt, a soon-to-be father who was caught Thursday pulling a Britney? Yes, sadly, Namibia saw its first case of celebrity baby neglect when Brad took little Zahara, aged 16 months, out for a bike ride. In a papoose. Without a helmet. No doubt this lapse in judgement will fail to threaten the Namibian government, which presumably has worse child welfare problems to deal with. But the paparazzi's all over it!

And for visitors to Namibia: Look forward to National Brangelina Junior Day!
