Phil Spector's mug shot

You probably heard this yesterday but in his retrial, music producer Phil Spector was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of actress Lana Clarkson. That's his mug shot, taken after the verdict. That pic does not bode well for Phil's time in prison. When you haven't even started serving your sentence and you already have that "I was just raped by a 375-pound black dude named 'Tiny' who also stole my jello" look on your face, you might wanna think about just killing yourself.

Terrence Howard beat up his wife

A few days after Chris Brown was arrested for beating up Rihanna, Terrence Howard was caught by a Hollywood.TV cameraman voicing support for Brown ("It's just life man. Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right. Rihanna knows he loves her. They'll be alright. Everyone has just got to get out of their way.") Understandably, considering the extent of Rihanna's injuries, people were pretty surprised that someone would be coming to Chris Brown's defense. Oh hey, I bet you'll never guess who was arrested in 2001 for beating up his wife. From The Smoking Gun:

Police and court records reveal that Howard, 39, was once arrested for a similar crime, the details of which have not been previously reported. [Howard] was arrested by Pennsylvania cops in September 2001 for assaulting his estranged wife. According to a Whitemarsh Police Department report, after Howard and Lori McCommas argued on the phone, the actor warned, "Don't disrespect me by hanging up on me or I'll come over and hurt you." McCommas then "hung up and contacted 911 fearing Howard was serious."

While McCommas was speaking with a police dispatcher, Howard "showed up at the victim's residence and began breaking the door down." McCommas ran to the rear of the house and into the backyard. Howard then "broke the front door down and ran through the screen door in the kitchen. Howard then grabbed the victim's left arm and punched her twice with a closed fist in the left side of the face." The attack was broken up by Howard's brother, who responded to McCommas's house after he "saw Howard storm out of their house to go to the victim's house." When a Whitemarsh cop responded to the scene, Howard admitted, "I broke the door down and hit my wife." A second officer noted there was "fresh damage to the front door and marks on the victim's face and arm from being struck."

After being charged with a variety of crimes (simple assault, terroristic threats, harassment and stalking), Howard subsequently pleaded guilty in 2002 to disorderly conduct. (Source)

Wow, tough break for Chris Brown. He has one famous dude supporting him and the guy turns out to be a wife-beater. Pretty much the only way things could get worse is if Charles Manson started some kind of legal defense fund for him. "We need your support and donations people. Open your heart or I will literally open your chest cavity with this rusty shank I keep in my shoe."

NOTE: Seriously, if you're famous and someone asks you a question, just shut the fuck up. I don't care if you're asked what your favorite ice cream flavor is, just shut the fuck up. Because if you answer, someone will do some digging and it will come out that were arrested back in college for running naked down a street with nothing but a waffle cone over your penis.

Matt Dillon's mug shot

I mean speeding. Sorry about that. From the Associated Press: 

Vermont State Police say actor Matt Dillon has been cited for speeding on an interstate highway. Dillon was charged with excessive speed after he was pulled over by a trooper on Interstate 91 in Newbury on Tuesday night. The 44-year-old actor was allegedly traveling at a speed of 106 miles per hour. The posted speed limit is 65 miles per hour. Dillon is set to appear in court on Jan. 21. (Source)

Wait . . . speeding? That's it? He wasn't drunk or high on coke? He didn't even run over a drifter or hit a girl scout that you swear you thought was a deer oh man what a fucking mess? What's up Vermont, why you gotta be like that? Why do you think we never invite you anywhere?

Cisco Adler's mug shot

Rocker Cisco Adler was arrested in Fargo, North Dakota, yesterday after punching a bar employee in the nose during a fight. You know Cisco Adler as the guy that's tapped all sorts of Hollywood ass such as Mischa Barton, Kimberly Stewart, Lauren Conrad, and Paris Hilton. And he has huge balls (NSFW). From In-Forum (Your #1 source for North Dakota news and sizzling-hot Hollywood gossip!):

Authorities were called to The Hub about 12:24 a.m. with a report of 15 people brawling and fighting security and management on the northeast corner of the building, according to police dispatch logs. Police arrived to find several people scuffling, Fargo police Lt. Pat Claus said. Witnesses told police Adler had gotten into a disagreement with another male at the club. As he was being escorted out of the club, he allegedly punched an employee in the nose, Claus said.

Adler, 30, was arrested on suspicion of simple assault and booked into the Cass County Jail. There were no problems with the arrest, Claus said, adding the employee made a citizen’s arrest before police arrived. Adler was released from jail at 1:26 a.m. after posting $500 cash bail, according to jail officials. (Source)

What a huge blow to Cisco's career. It's gonna be difficult recovering from this embarrassment. I mean, a gig in North Dakota? I didn't even know that place was real. I always just assumed people were joking.

Heather Locklear's mug shot

Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday afternoon in the wealthy town of Montecito, California on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication. Us Weekly says:

Locklear, 47, was pulled over by California Highway Patrol after a resident reported that she was driving "erratically." Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall told the AP that the responding officer spotted Locklear's car parked on a state highway blocking a lane. "In talking with her, the officer determines that she seems to be under the influence of something," Marshall said. Locklear was taken into custody, tested for drugs and alcohol, booked and released. (Source)

In Locklear's defense, it's crazy how much that state highway looks like a parking lot when you're high on Vicodin and Percocet.

NOTE: Is anybody else as turned on by that mug shot as I am? Dilated pupils are so damn sexy.

Suge Knight's mug shot

Rap mogul Suge Knight was arrested yesterday in Las Vegas for allegedly attacking his girlfriend with a knife. AP says:

The 43-year-old Knight was arrested about 6:40 a.m. Wednesday on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription and battery domestic violence. Police responding to a report of a car hitting a curb near the Las Vegas Strip say they found Knight standing over his longtime girlfriend with a knife in his hand. Police say the woman tried to run from the car, but Knight grabbed her. (Source)

I'm sorry but I just can't feel sorry for this woman. She's dating Suge freaking Knight. A knife attack every now and then is to be expected. It'd be like dating Kirstie Alley and being shocked when all your sugar and butter starts mysteriously disappearing from your kitchen. Mmmmmmmmm . . . sugar-coated butter.

DMX arrested yet again

Stop me if you've heard this before (like HERE, HERE, and HERE) but DMX was arrested yesterday outside a Wal-Mart in Florida. The rapper had a warrant issued for his arrest by a Phoenix, Arizona court after failing to appear for a pretrial conference on four counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and one count of possession of marijuana. E! Online says:

Although DMX's attorney did appear on his client's behalf Tuesday afternoon to provide documentation that his client couldn't make it because he was hospitalized in Miami (he wouldn't say why, though), the judge opted to issue a bench warrant anyway and raised his bond to $25,000. (Source)

I know DMX has been arrested five times this year but I think we should cut him a break. I mean life's all about sixth chances, right? Oh DMX, I swear your puppy-dog eyes get me every time. I just can't hate you!
