J.R. Smith Arrested in South Beach
New York Knicks player and possible Rihanna boyfriend J.R. Smith was busted in Miami Beach late Thursday. There was a bench warrant out for his arrest.
Miami Beach police said Smith was arrested on a bench warrant for not having a valid driver’s license after a routine traffic stop and search for his name.
Details were not immediately available on what led police to stop Smith about 8:30 p.m., but he joins our celebrity mug shots gallery with this one:
Hernandez said that J.R. (real name Earl Joseph Smith) was taken to the Miami-Dade County jail, where officials said he bonded out early Friday.
Smith has played seven years in the NBA and averages 12.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and at least two dozen ridiculous tattoos per game.
Yes, that's a Young Money logo on his neck. His neck.
Jenna Jameson Arrested for DUI, Recovering from Accident
Jenna Jameson may have built a career around money shots, but she was forced to pose for an unwanted mug shot very early this morning.
The iconic porn star got into a minor single car accident around 1:30 a.m. PST, TMZ sources confirm, and was arrested for suspicion of DUI after police officers issued a field sobriety test.
Jameson reportedly suffered a few bruises after slamming into a pole, but refused medical treatment at the scene and was released on bail six hours after the booking.
The busty blonde last got involved with the law in May 2010 when domestic violence charges were filed, and then dropped, against boyfriend Tito Ortiz. The two have since reconciled and have two kids together.
Gary Giordano, Robyn Gardner Murder Suspect, Arrested For Indecent Exposure
Gary Giordano, the suspect in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner in Aruba, was arrested in Maryland for shagging some woman in the back of a car.
Giordano, 51, was found naked in the back of a Cadillac Escalade with Carol Bock, 45, of Tennessee. They were both arrested for indecent exposure.
They were discovered by Annapolis police responding to a call of possible sexual activity inside a car in a parking garage last Friday evening.
When officers shined a light through an SUV window, the pair were seen lying naked on a mattress in the rear cargo area, according to reports.
Even with a blanket hanging "in what appeared to be an attempt to conceal their activity,” the couple's cover was blown and they were busted.
Giordano had been a suspect in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner in Aruba in August 2011. He claimed she never returned from a snorkeling trip.
Authorities questioned his story and kept him in jail for months until a judge ordered him released last November. No charges have been filed.
The Robyn Gardner case remains unsolved; she was never found. The indecent exposure charge carries a $1,000 fine or up to three years in jail.
Amber Portwood Mug Shots: Hey, Wake Up!
Amber Portwood is really leaving her mark in our celebrity mug shots gallery.
After the Teen Mom train wreck was jailed for lying about a medical condition to get out of a mandated drug court appearance, she posed for the police cameras once again ... whether she remembers this is a different story.
See below:
In her latest booking photos, Amber can be seen either blinking or looking very tired / strung out. Maybe she just can't bear to look at her life slipping away.
Amber appears on the brink of some serious punishment if the accusations of lying to the court turn out to be true. Either way, she's in pretty bad shape.
Amber told local officials she couldn't show up for her drug test as she was on doctor-ordered bed rest following gall bladder surgery for 2-3 weeks.
A good excuse ... only officials called her bluff and her doctor said no such thing had been ordered. She also pulled a drug-test no show in March.
Hope the food is okay in jail. She could be there awhile.
Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil Pleads Not Guilty, Proclaims Herself Witch Hunt Victim
"Tanning Mom" slash human raisin Patricia Krentcil has pleaded not guilty to felony child endangerment charges and claims the story of putting her little girl in a tanning booth is being victimized in what is all a giant misunderstanding.
She also says her critics "jealous, fat, and ugly." Speaking of the latter ...
The 44-year-old New Jersey (where else) resident was on her way to a salon (hair) when she unloaded on a photographer and proclaimed she is a "fabulous" mother.
Needless to say, she is far from apologetic. About anything.
Krentcil was arrested after a school nurse asked her five-year-old daughter Anna how she got a sunburn and she replied, "I go tanning with mommy."
She faces a felony count of second-degree child endangerment.
Watch a news report about her below if you haven't seen it:
George Zimmerman Appears in Court; Affidavit Outlines Probable Cause For Murder Charge
George Zimmerman made his first court appearance since being officially charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman wore a gray prison jumpsuit and spoke only to answer "Yes, sir," after being asked questions about the charge against him and his lawyer.
His hair was shaved down to stubble and he sported a thin goatee, which appeared consistent with his booking photo from the day before (below).
He resurfaced Wednesday to turn himself in after weeks in hiding. Meanwhile, a new document provided additional details on the prosecution's case.
Judge Mark E. Herr said he found probable cause to move forward with the case and an arraignment would be held on May 29 before another judge.
The affidavit of probable cause prepared by prosecutors shed some light on why they chose to charge Zimmerman in the February 26 shooting.
The Orlando Sentinel says that on that night, Trayvon Martin's mother identified screams heard in the background of a 911 call as her son's.
There were doubts as to whether Martin or Zimmerman called for help.
Prosecutors interviewed a friend of Martin's who was talking to him just before the shooting. Martin told the witness he was being followed and was scared.
Amanda Bynes Arrested for DUI

Following this incident cops pulled the 26-year old over, determined she was not fit to be driving and hauled her into the station. She was released hours later on $5,000 bond.
* We are just kidding. No DUI arrest ever "counts" for anything positive. Stay alive, readers. Don't drink and drive.
Michael Madsen Arrested on Child Endangerment Charge After Fight With Son
Actor Michael Madsen was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony child endangerment.
Madsen was taken into custody in Malibu, Ca., then released early this morning and was in decent spirits on his way out, calling the whole incident a "big misunderstanding."
So what the heck happened exactly?
According to law enforcement, Madsen got into a a physical fight with his juvenile son, and when cops arrived, they observed several signs of injury on his son.
Madsen also appeared to be under the influence of alcohol at the time.
The son did not require medical attention, but Madsen was booked on a charge of child endangerment with cruelty to a child - a felony charge. Then what?
Madsen's attorney, Perry Wander, tells TMZ that "[Michael Madsen] found his son smoking pot and they got in an argument when he tried to take it away."
"It's a family matter and Michael asks that his privacy be respected."
Next time, try shooting a laptop Mike ... that seems to work better.
Coolio: Arrested, Thrown in Jail With His Own Son!
How quaint.
Rapper Coolio was arrested in Las Vegas today and is currently behind bars at the same jail as his kid. "Gangstas Paradise" is a family thing in Sin City!
Coolio was a passenger in a Nissan Versa (!?) which was pulled over for a routine traffic violation early Friday morning ... and then the $h!t hit the fan.
The police ran his name in the system and noticed he had two active bench warrants out for his arrest stemming from multiple traffic violations.
Always pay your tickets, people. Set an example for your kids!
Coolio was arrested and hauled to Clark County Detention Center, where his son Grtis is living after allegedly robbing some dude at gunpoint.
No word if they enjoyed a heartfelt reunion during recess.
Coolio's bail has been set at $5,850. A court date has not yet been set. Grtis? Probably not getting released on bail. Armed robbery and all.
Marcus Vick Jailed For Contempt of Court
Former college football star Marcus Vick, the younger and possibly more troubled brother of Michael Vick got popped this weekend for contempt of court.
Marcus turned himself in to authorities in Newport News, Va., on Sunday after a warrant was issued for his arrest for failing to appear for two court dates.
Those dates stem from a suspended license charge, and by not showing, Marcus not only joins our celebrity mug shot page, but will spend 10 days in jail.
Sweet deal. He will then be transferred to officials in Montgomery County, Va., to face separate charges stemming from an unrelated incident. Great.
According to reports, Vick failed to pay a $40,000 settlement in a civil case in which he was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl in 2008.
Marcus Vick was 19 at the time.
Vick was booted off the Virginia Tech football team back in 2006 following a string of arrests and has been involved in multiple legal issues since.
