Actor Wesley Snipes’s legal troubles may prevent him from traveling overseas. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Ocala, Florida, is demanding that a judge restrict Snipes from traveling outside the states. It seems that the “Blade” actor attended a party last November for the opening of the $1.5 billion new Atlantis Hotel resort in the Dubai, according to the Associated Press.

A jury sentenced the action star to three years in prison on April 24, 2008, for failing to file his taxes. Snipes is now free on bond while he appeals the convictions.—JW

Do you think Wesley should get his traveling papers revoked or should he be allowed to go wherever he wants while he’s appealing his conviction?
