Although, Girls Gone Wild CEO, Joe Francis, still has lawsuits pending against him, he has reason to celebrate.

He settled government charges and will pay a fine that is chump change to the low-budget pornographer and won't spend any more time in jail. He pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors (filing false tax returns and bribing Nevada Jail workers to bring him food) and will pay back taxes totaling $249,705.

Joe Francis is wanted by Los Angeles authorities after failing to show up for a court hearing in his on-going tax evasion case.

The Girls Gone Wild mogul was supposed to appear in court on Monday because his legal counsel doesn’t want to defend him against allegations that he filed a fraudulent tax return worth $20 million.

Francis was a no-show and a warrant for his arrest was issued.

He’s currently scheduled to stand trial in March and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Groody star sighting of the week:

Joe Francis is in Sundance, we saw him walking along Main Street tonight.

What the eff is he doing here?

Sundance fare isn't really his kind of filmmaking.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
