From Benn Ray: Top 10 Celebrity Arrests/Jail Sentences
1. Senator Larry Craig Not sure why trolling for sex (gay or straight) is a crime, but since he has supported anti-gay legislation and was busted for gay sex solicitation, and then pleaded guilty and then changed his story, and then refused to step down despite pressure from his fellow Republicans, Craig is the poster boy for Republican Hypocrisy.
2. Michael Vick NFL Quarterback for Atlanta Falcons was busted for running a dogfighting operation. Odd. Professional atheletes are usually pretty upstanding citizens.
3. Lou Perlman Former NSYNC and Backstreet Boys was arrested on fraud charges. In Indonesia. Putting allegedly the "Backstreet" in little boys.
4. Shai LeBeouf The Transformers star was arrested for tresspassing in a Walgreens. He refused to leave. Very strange.
5. Ryan O'Neal Was arrested for assualt with a deadly weapon. Nice!
6. Paris Hilton Did time for parole violation for alcohol-related reckless driving.
7. Nicole Richie Not to be outdone by her Surreal Life costar, Nicole also served a brief jail stint - while pregnant.
8. Keifer Sutherland Most likely as some form of karmic payback for being a part of the wingnut porn that is 24, Sutherland did a stint in prison for a DUI.
9. Lindsay Lohan After chasing the mother of her assistant in a car, Lohan was busted for drunken driving and cocaine possession.
10. Mischa Barton When you're young, blonde, marginally talented, and ridiculously skinny, there's only one thing you can do for attention when your tv show (The OC) gets cancelled, and that's get busted for a DUI like all the other blonde, skinny, untalented chicks on this list.
Honorable Mention: Mickey Rourke was busted for a DUI. Nice try, but you're Mickey Rourke - we expect more from you. Take a que from Ryan O'Neal.
From Benn Ray: Top 10 Celebrity Embarrassments Of 2007 1. David Hasselhoff's can has cheezburger. He's just too drunk to eat it. So his daughter videotapes it. Thanks! 2. Britney Spears' VMA appearance and very public meltdown. 3. Alec Baldwin's phone message to his daughter mysteriously finds its way off her cell phone and out for public consumption. Not sure why everyone thought this was bad, it made me like him even more. One of his best performances. Seriously, this goes up there with Glengarry Glenross and 30 Rock. 4. Meg White's sex tape. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Maybe it's just a coincidence that she had to cancel the White Stripes tour due to exhaustion at the same time it hit the web. While I seem to be in the minority opinion on Alec Baldwin's phone call, I also seem to be in the minority opinion on Meg too. I like to think it is her, and I'm all too happy to watch. I also think people really need to get over the obligatory knocking of her drumming everytime they try to write a White Stripes review. So what do I know? 5 - 7. Sherri Shepherd of The View: A. Is not sure if the world is flat, nor does she care B. Believes that Christ was evidently the first person. Ever. C. Complains about difficulties of publicly beating her child. 8. Everyone who participated in Live Earth. 9. The trainwreck that is the life of Amy Winehouse. More and more she looks like an Alien. 10. Tommy Lee gets bitch slapped by Kid Rock at MTVs VMA's in an episode I like to call, "When Has-beens Can't Hold Their Liquor."
