I read about the recent plight regarding O.J. Simpson getting sent down for literally running up in a Las Vegas hotel. He was reportedly very cross and armed with a desert eagle and was wailing a crowbar around like a complete nutter. I think his aim was to seize back his memorabilia which he had either previously auctioned off or sold for money.

We all know the real reason that anyone still gives a fuck or even knows about O.J. is (other than a hall-of fame-inducted American football career and a starring role in Ace Ventura,) because he killed his ex-wife and her new bit of fluff.

He then inspired the phenomena that is GTA by having an massive, long winded cop chase (which in his case would probably have been the equivalent of a 5 star law-breaking frenzy), and his cheats in ‘human game mode’ didn’t work so he couldn’t have the standard equipped bazookas or grenade launchers for the helicopters, (which always come in handy).

So he got nicked.

So that was the inspiration for the most famous and funny mugshots I could find which poses the question, why do famous people think they are the stars of their own video games?

R&B Super Star
R. Kelly was arrested in Miami on 12 counts of possession of child pornography. Authorities searched Kelly’s Davenport, Florida home and seized camera equipment which alledgedly had pictures of Kelly “involved in sexual conduct with the female minor.”

On March 17, 2004, Circuit Judge Dennis Maloney ruled that the police did not have enough evidence to justify searching Kelly’s home and that the pictures were illegally seized. Prosecutors did not appeal Maloney’s decision and ultimately dropped the charges.

Kelly has always maintained that he was innocent of all charges against him.
