That coy smile, that knowing gleam in his eye. This isn't Andy Dick's first time at the rodeo. The funnyman was collared for public intoxication (not the best charge, but, as it happens, also not his worst) while at a Marie Callendars in Temecula, Calif. back in May. Which would at least explain that rosy glow.
So…do you think after cops took this photo, they shook it like a Polaroid picture? We can only hope! Outkast's better more illegally-inclined half Big Boi (real name Antwan Patton) was busted last August after Miami cops found him in possession of Ecstasy pills, MDMA powder, drug paraphernalia and, um, Viagra. Charges were dropped as long as the rapper stayed drug-free for three months, complete 30 hours of community service and donate $2,000 to charity.
This DJ clearly picked up a pointer or two on how to make a lasting mug-shot impression from her former girlfriend. Sure, the police photographer may not have asked Ronson to smile for the camera, but couldn't he at least have asked her not to snarl? Still, nice to see she dressed for the DUI occasion—BYO jail stripes, people. It's a time saver.
There's nothing particularly notable about Conrad Murray's mug-shot, but the fact that it even exists was cause for celebration among many Michael Jackson-loving quarters of the nation this year. The not-so-good doctor was arrested and ultimately convicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter this fall in the two-year-old death of the pop icon. He was sentenced to four years behind bars, but will serve just a fraction of that time.
Her name is busted! Someone had to do it, and Jaime Pressly had the dubious distinction of being one of the first collared celebs of 2011. Her arrest came just days after the New Year after she blew a .22 on the Breathalyzer. Pressly managed to avoid jail time and instead was sentenced to three years summary probation. As for that mug-shot, hey—let's leave the stars without makeup shots to the tabloids, shall we? Next star who gets busted, try and put in a little more of an effort. Still, maybe next year, she should resolve to hire a chauffeur.
Melancholy and the infinite what the…? The most shocking thing about the former Smashing Pumpkins band members' mug-shot may just be that alcohol was not involved in the capturing of it. Can you remember the face you made when you first learned Wretzky was arrested not for any rock shenanigans but for the (wait for it) running at large of her horses (which cost her six days in the slammer)? Well, you don't have to, because D'Arcy made it during her mug-shot, thus capturing it on all our behalves for posterity. What a giver.
If we weren't informed by the Las Vegas PD that this is, in fact, Flavor Flav, we're not sure we'd believe it. The hair! The lack of massive timepiece hanging round his neck! The seemingly normal (from what we can see) item of clothing! Maybe he was trying to go incognito? In any case, it didn't work, and he was busted back in May for a simple moving violation while driving home from, yes, a Benihanas—which got a bit more complicated when cops ran his record and discovered he was a wanted man for more than one infraction. (He pleaded no contest, and was hit with a fine and ordered to counseling.) We're guessing his fortune cookie fortune didn't warn him about this.
Aww, Lindsay, why so pouty? We knew we could count on LiLo to bulk up her mug-shot collection in 2011, and she didn't let us down. Her fifth foray into the art of police station closeups came in October, when a noticeably more puffy-faced Lindsay was snapped after violating her probation in that infamous necklace heist case by failing to make good on her community service. All in all, that's quite the collection she's bequeathed to us. Let's see what 2012 will bring.
What a difference five years makes. Whereas in 2006, Mel's post-anti-Semitic rant mug-shot was a greasy-haired, eyebrow-cocked, semi-smirking mess, this year's photo showed a calmer, mellower Mel. Still on show are the eyes only a mother (or Jodie Foster) could love, but the smirk is replaced by quite a somber-looking mug. Then again, being busted and then admitting to battery against your baby mama (while she was holding your child) isn't much to smile about.
This Oscar winner doesn't do anything the conventional way—and, it turns out, that includes posing for a mug-shot. In fact, if the eyes are the windows to the soul, then this star would probably just as soon we assumed him dead inside (but what do you expect from a suspected vampire?). This particular gem was taken in a New Orleans police station back in February, shortly after Cage was arrested for suspicion of domestic abuse against his wife. Having this picture released to the world almost seems punishment enough.
