Clean-Cut Celebrity Mugshots

Yeah, sure you’ve seen the crazy mugshots some people wind up taking and it’s a shame. I mean, why do people look like crap when they get busted? I’m sure getting tossed in the drunk tank or perp-walking sucks but at least take a good photo. Here are a few celebs who were prepared for their street cred with good-looks and/or a winning smile.

Chris Tucker 

Comedian Chris Tucker was arrested in April 2005 and charged with reckless driving and fleeing to elude after he did not immediately pull over his speeding 2005 Bentley. Tucker, 33, spent about 30 minutes in a McDuffie County lockup before posting cash bond and being released. According to cops, the ‘Rush Hour’ star, an Atlanta native, was doing 109 mph on Interstate 20 when clocked by state troopers.

Editor’s Note:

Chris got that “hurry up and take the damn picture” look while wearing his windsor-knotted tie under a standard D.O.C. orange jumpsuit giving him that stylish criminal look.

Kimora Lee Simmons  

Kimora Lee Simmons, the wife of music power Russell Simmons, was arrested in July 2004 and charged with marijuana possession and a variety of vehicular infractions following a traffic stop near her New Jersey estate. Saddle River police said Simmons, driving a Mercedes-Benz coupe, repeatedly ignored their directions to pull her car over as they followed in a cruiser with its lights flashing.

Editor’s Note:

I had a chance to converse with Kimora Lee once.  She came up and started talking my ear off.  Nice lady and takes a nicer mugshot with her pearly whites shining through contrasting her green tee looking fabulous for the camera.  Mugshots were made for Kimora.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. 

Mayweather has been charged with one count of Grand Larceny. He was booked in to the Clark County Detention Center following his arrest and posted the $3000.00 bail shortly after.

Editor’s Note:

Floyd knows his smile will get the ladies motivated and never loses an opportunity.  Walking the perp-walk cat-walk in his new-age black and white-striped shirt, he gives criminals a new reason to get in style.

Steve-O 

On July 31, 2002, Steve-O was arrested in Los Angeles on obscenity and assault charges for performing his now infamous stunt, The Butterfly (in which he staples his scrotum to his leg) at the Abyss, a nightclub in Houma, Louisiana, and for being a principal to a second-degree battery, both of which occurred at the nightclub on July 11, 2002. After posting a $150,000 bond in the Los Angeles court system, he was allowed to return to Louisiana where he turned himself in to the local authorities.

Editor’s Note:

Steve may have that “Oh shit, I’m really a jack-ass” look but he knows that taking a good mugshot photo in a suit counts for something.¬¨‚Ć Take note, future nut-staplers.¬¨‚Ć When your pic is on the news, look good for the camera.¬¨‚Ć Side note:¬¨‚Ć Steve-O shares my birthday.

Frank Sinatra 

In 1938, a 23-year-old Frank Sinatra was arrested in Bergen County, N.J. on charges of seduction and adultery. According to the FBI reports, “On the second and ninth days of November 1938 at the Borough of Lodi” and “under the promise of marriage” Sinatra “did then and there have sexual intercourse with the said complainant, who was then and there a single female of good repute.” This, the charge stated, was “contrary and in violation of the revised statute of 1937.” The charges were later dismissed when it was determined that the woman involved was married.”

Editor’s Note:

Think Frank didn’t know his suit and cool hairstyle would come in handy?¬¨‚Ć Look at that fashion!¬¨‚Ć New Jersey was obviously good to old Blue Eyes as he knew at a young age that prison numbers go well with a nice black & white-specific photographer.

Shia LaBeouf  

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in November 2007 after he refused to leave a Chicago Walgreens. The 21-year-old LaBeouf, who appeared to be intoxicated, was popped after he ignored a security guard’s demand to leave the drugstore. The actor, pictured above in a Chicago Police Department mug shot, was hit with a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge.

Editor’s Note:

Sure…Shia may not be as fashionable as the others but look at that winning smile. Even with that glazed look in his drunken eyes, you know Shia pulled out his only weapon to ratify the situation: his teeth!

Kiefer Sutherland 

This Kiefer Sutherland mug shot was snapped by the Gelndale Police Department in December 2007 after the actor surrendered to serve a 48-day jail sentence. Sutherland, 40, pled no contest in October to driving while over the legal limit of .08. It was the second time in three years that the star of ’24’ was busted for DUI.

Editor’s Note:

Kiefer’s look screams “I’m really Jack Bauer” but we know he’s not.¬¨‚Ć I ran into Kiefer a bunch of years back in a bathroom at the Mondrian Hotel in LA.¬¨‚Ć He was drunk then too while pissin’ next to me and cracking jokes.¬¨‚Ć Dude was lit and acting like we were buddies.¬¨‚Ć I bounced!¬¨‚Ć But he cleans up nicely since then.

Scottie Pippen 

Houston police busted basketball star Scottie Pippen in April 1999 and charged him with drunk driving. Cops pulled over the six-time NBA champ’s Mercedes after seeing him use an oncoming lane to pass cars stopped at a red light. Pippen, who was playing for the Rockets at the time, failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a Breathalyzer. Harris County prosecutors subsequently dismissed the misdemeanor charge.

Editor’s Note:

Think Scottie gives a single fuck in this pic?¬¨‚Ć No he doesn’t.¬¨‚Ć He knows that the camera man struggled to raise the camera up to his height and by the time the flash went off, Scottie was ready for his well-suited posturing.¬¨‚Ć Earring in tow, Scottie showed the fans that stylists weren’t needed that day.

Lindsay Lohan 

Lindsay Lohan posed for the above Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department mug shot in July 2010 after being booked into the Lynwood Correctional Facility. The actress, 24, was ordered to serve three months in jail after a judge determined that she violated the terms of the probation she was put on following two 2007 DUI arrests.

Editor’s Note:

Lindsay’s a bum.¬¨‚Ć But she knows how to take a good mugshot with nothing more than some D.O.C. county oranges and a good comb.¬¨‚Ć I’m sure this isn’t her last one so let’s keep our eyes open to see if she improves on her fashion sense.

Paris Hilton 

Paris Hilton was booked into a Los Angeles jail in June 2007 after violating terms of a probation sentence imposed following a drunk driving plea. In January, weeks after pleading no contest to a reckless driving charge, the 26-year-old Hilton was cited for driving with a suspended license. After signing a document acknowledging she was not to drive, Hilton was pulled over by cops in February and charged with a probation violation. As a result, she was sentenced to 45 days in jail. Hilton posed for the above left mug shot after her September 2006 arrest. The second booking photo was taken when she surrendered to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department to begin her brief sentence.

Editor’s Note:

Paris Hilton is famous for no reason.¬¨‚Ć But she’s now famous for knowing how to pose for a police camrea.¬¨‚Ć Hair pulled to the side and with a sultry look and half-smile, Paris was trying to woo the camera dude.¬¨‚Ć Her mugshot looks like a headshot.

Michelle Rodriguez 

Former ‘Lost’ star Michelle Rodriguez was booked into a Los Angeles County jail in December 2007 to begin a six-month sentence for failing to complete her community service and alcohol monitoring that was ordered as part of her probation from a drunk driving arrest. Rodriguez, 29, admitted violating her probation by failing to provide proof of community service and by drinking alcohol while wearing a monitoring device.

Editor’s Note:

Michelle probably rolled into that prison with her “Fight Girl” persona.¬¨‚Ć Or…is Fight Girl actually Michelle Rodriguez persona?¬¨‚Ć Either way, she’s got her country Greens on looking like scrubs and with that half-cocked smile and confident look, she’s ready for her stylists to add lipstick and she’s gooood!
