Celebrities in Jail 2010

Celebrities in Jail 2010 - Chief among them must be Mad Max actor Mel Gibson.
He kicked off the fame shame game when tapes were leaked of him berating his estranged lover Oksana Grigorieva, mother to his eighth child, Lucia. He called his lover every name under the sun, including a whore and gold digger, before he allegedly threatened to kill her. The battle rages on in court but 54-year-old Mel says he ‘only’ slapped his missus.

Next up, welcome back George Michael. Wham! bam, he ended in the slammer after smacking his car into a London Snappy Snaps store in July. The 47-year-old was sent down for eight weeks for driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis. After receiving a five-year driving ban, the singer vowed we’d see a lot more of him in 2011 but for all the right reasons.
Joining him on the bus will be Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah after she landed herself with a 14-month driving ban. She was stopped on her way to meet a fitness instructor but was still boozed up from the night before.

The usual suspects also made an appearance.

Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton returned to their wicked ways in 2010. Lohan, 24, spent the last half of the year in and out of jail and rehab as she struggled to keep herself clean. After serving just 14 days of a three-month term for probation violations, she was sent back to jail and then rehab for the rest of the year after admitting on Twitter she’d failed a drugs test.
Meanwhile, Hilton narrowly avoided jail after accidentally revealing a stash of cocaine in her handbag to a Las Vegas police officer. The 29-year-old heiress originally claimed she borrowed the bag but later changed her tune and pleaded guilty, winning herself 200 hours of community service.

Following fast in their footsteps appears to be Miley Cyrus. The Disney star was shamed just days after her 18th birthday in November when a video was leaked of her puffing on a bong at her LA mansion.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing.

He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
