9. Bai Ling
Although Bai Ling usually looks pretty and fresh-faced, her mug shot after an alleged shoplifting arrest was anything but flattering. The actress was fined $700 for stealing from a shop at LAX, items which totaled just $16.22. She was stealing magazines and some batteries and was also guilty of disturbing the peace. She pleaded guilty and issued a public apology shortly thereafter. She said that she had no intention of stealing the items…sure. This case just left us scratching our heads. Seriously, why would a celeb need to steal such petty items? They really do not have $20 lying around?
8. Richard Madeley
Richard Madeley comes from the United Kingdom, and he is famous for being a television presenter, as well as for writing novels and magazine columns. Back in 1994, he was arrested by authorities when he tried to leave a store without paying for some items, such as champagne. Nice taste there, Madeley! These actually happened two times at the famed Tesco grocery store in Manchester. So how did he manage to get out of that one? He claimed he had memory lapses, which led to him being acquitted of the charges. Fast forward to 2011 and he was awarded with an honorary doctorate degree. Talk about turning things around!
