Celebrity Mugshot: when the entertainment industry has trouble with the law

Do Hollywood actors and singers also have problems with the law? Well, one would say especially actors and singers have problems with law enforcement. The wild and reckless life sometimes leads people to have problems with authority.

As proof of this, there are plenty of shots around the net showing celebrities in the moment of arrest, even actors and singers who we think are blameless and perfect in front of the cameras. In reality, there are often many skeletons hiding in the wardrobes.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, we have chosen to show you these celebrities as you have never seen them before.
