Roman Polanski Back in Switzerland—This Time Without the Arrest
Arnd Wiegmann / Reuters
Two years later, Roman Polanski is finally getting what was coming to him.
Meaning, the 78-year-old director was honored today with a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival, the very honor he landed in Switzerland in 2009 to collect, only to end up under house arrest while Los Angeles prosecutors tried to revive his three-decade-old statutory-rape case.
"What I can say. Better late than never," Polanski said upon receiving his award as he was treated to a standing ovation. "It's a very moving moment for me."
Think Estella Was Bad? Check Out These Five Famous Celebrity Fugitives

Celebrities have their fair share of run-ins with the law. And then there are those who like to run away from the law.
Just look at Estella Warren, who yesterday after getting busted for a DUI punched a cop and tried to escape police custody only to be captured again.
Usually, a tabloid circus erupts around these folks that can last in some cases for years (see O.J. Simpson).
So in honor of the latest high profile lawbreaker—and with apologies to the Bronx Zoo cobra (we love ya, Mia)—we've rounded up our favorite five famous celebrity fugitives of recent infamy:
Five Stars Who Rebounded From Sex Scandals...and Five Who Didn't

Is there anyone who doesn't like a juicy celebrity sex scandal? Other than the celebrities embroiled in one, that is. Or their devastated and life-altered loved ones. (Hi, Arnold Schwarzenegger!)
But for every star that curses their uncontrollable loins, there's just as many who should be getting down on their knees (er, maybe not…that's how some of them got into trouble in the first place) and thanking their lucky stars for having their otherwise good names temporarily dragged through the mud.
Herewith, five stars who successfully managed to navigate the waters of celebrity infamy—and five who failed spectacularly.
Roman Polanski's Free-Jazz Getaway

Looks like it's back to jazzy shindigs and multi-million dollar compounds (sans electronic bracelets) for Roman Polanski…but not in the States just yet.
Mere days after his release, the Oscar-winning director made his first public appearance Saturday at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, according to the New York Post.
The 76-year-old director was originally taken into custody last September on a U.S. warrant stemming from a statutory rape conviction in 1977.
Soup Poll: Roman Polanski is a Free Man—How Will He Celebrate?

Lock up the women and children! With his release from house arrest in an Alpine villa, famed director/creepy guy Roman Polanski is now a free man.
How do you think he'll celebrate? Take the poll now!
UPDATE!
Roman Polanski: Free at Last?!

The wheel of celebrity justice has spun again, and while Lindsay Lohan is—barring the hiring of a new lawyer that comes equipped with a magic wand—heading to jail, Roman Polanski isn't.
That's right, after 10 months and house arrest, the Hollywood-polarizing, sentence-fleer is once again a free man.
So clearly Lindsay can stop interviewing lawyers now. All she needs to do to beat this thing is flee the country for 33 years, then all will be forgiven!
