Wow, none for January? Did they all give up drinking/drugs and driving as their New Year's Resolution?? And then fell off the wagon...

There's gotta be a way to turn this list into a drinking game.

What about Shemar Moore in June? That was a big one too. And the number of sports figures arrested this year for DUI is really high - Warren Moon, Tony LaRussa, etc.

Are there more DUI arrests nationwide overall, I wonder?

Oh my, Mickey does not look even mildly ok. He reminds me of a cartoon character, although I can't pick which right now.

I too find the calm in January surprising. They were all on something at that time. They simply did not get caught.

It's not a DUI but Anna Nicole Smith had a crap load of stuff in her system.

Speaking of former Y&R's Malcolm (aka Shemar Moore), the daytime actors have been arrested a lot too it seems. That young girl from Days of Our Lives, Kirsten something, just pleaded no contest this week.

maybe mickey rourke looks like that witch on the bugs bunny cartoons? you know the one with all the hairpins that go flying out when she runs or rides her broom. (i'd say he looks like pinky from pinky & the brain, but pinky is so lovable.)

I can't sit here and not say this: Does anyone remember when Mickey Rourke was smolderingly hot?

Rumblefish era, anyone?

I am outraged - outraged! - that we have no caption contest today. They are loved by all.

The center part of Mickey Rourke's mustache seem to have slipped down to his chin. He should at least be arrested for that facial hair arrangement. Bad judgments in beard hair could be it's own field sobriety test....he MUST have been drunk to have allowed that to happen....

Is it me or does Mickey Rourke look like Nick Nolte with a drawn on mustache and beard in that mug shot?

So, does the number of stops mean that enforcement is up overall, or have they just stopped letting the bold and the beautiful go with warnings? And does the prevalence of famous names drinking and driving mean that everyone will start doing it, like botox and tooth bleaching?

Some legacy, Mel Gibson.

Ever since Gibson spiffed up his hair and smiled for his mug shot, we are now subjected to a series of "smiling" celeb mugshots.

They couldn't remember not to drink before getting behind a wheel and endangering innocent lives but they sure can remember to paste on the PR smile.

Mickey Rourke's mustache gives me the CREEPS!!!

"I am outraged - outraged! - that we have no caption contest today. They are loved by all."

Well, go for it! Do Mickey's mug shot!

"I can't sit here and not say this: Does anyone remember when Mickey Rourke was smolderingly hot?"

I do. I thought he was hot in 9-1/2 weeks (which is also my favorite movie soundtrack). Plus, wasn't he also in Angel Heart with Lisa Bonet during the hot years?

Actually I think the smiling mugshot started with Tom DeLay, ever since then most mugshots look like yearbook pictures.

Liz, I remember when he was HOT! Man he didn't age well at all!!! Although he does still have that smug smile that I remember from the movie "9 1/2 Weeks".

MR: "Do the shaggy haircut, bloodshot eyes, and '70s shirt make my butt look fat?"

hahaha, niceFLguy. way to stick it to the man.

"Huh? No caption contest this week? Damn!"

I'll say here what I said in today's other Celebritology posting:

Someone shoulda told Rourke he could take off that Marv makeup once the filming of Sin City was completed.

Yet again, another celeb that's surgeried themselves outta hotness.

Wait... A VESPA?!? This man was in a movie called "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man" & now he rides a girly-man scooter. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

And WOW! When you list them all like that it does make one wonder if they're just drinking/drugging & driving more in Hollywood or if they're just cracking down.

The Matt Roloff arrest made me a sad Smurf. I love their show & that family & he just seemed soooo not the type.

Didn't Mickey Rourke have some kind of botched plastic surgery (thus explaining his current looks)? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Amy -
If he didn't, he should at least adopt that as his excuse.

Geez, talk about looking like five miles of bad road! Someone should hang a sign around his neck that says, 'Detour Ahead.'

Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks *sigh*

Mickey should be a charter member of the "Bad Plastic Surgery Hall of Fame".

At Least, he tried to smile.

HAHA mickey rourke! i thought since yesterday it was mickey ROONEY! im an idiot.

I think we have the makings of a Celebritology DUI mug shot calendar. I think there could be big bucks in this, Liz.

Are we even sure that that's Mickey Rourke? I mean, yeah, there's a passing resemblance, but I'm pretty sure the guy in the mug shot is somebody's drunk older brother who used to bully him around, then dropped out of FSU after 2 semesters and couldn't hold a job, but then discovered he sorta' looked like Mickey Rourke and could con people into buying him beers, only as long as they didn't find out that his only means of transportation was a Vespa scooter, not a Ferrari or Lamborghini like the real Mickey Rourke would drive.

Admit it, Liz: You can't wait for a Ronnie James Dio DUI mug shot.

To get back to the original question posted by Liz, I think the reason there are so many celeb DUIs is because even though all of these folks can hire drivers and avoid nightmarish L.A. traffic they don't, because they want to a.) Be in control. b.) think of themselves as regular folk. c.)they want to be seen by others as a regular person.

Hey not bluto, I thought the SAME THING!!! Yesterday I said to myself, isn't he a little old to be getting smashed and hopping on a scooter??? From the mug shot, I guess the same thing can be said for Rourke too...

I think it's because the bar has been lowered for who to consider newsworthy of reporting a DUI type offense, and because it's so much easier for everyone to get access due to paps, internet and such.

"Does anyone remember when Mickey Rourke was smolderingly hot?"

I do! How about "Wild Orchid" - so greeeeezy, but so hot! I'm so excited I'm not the only one with this dirty-little-crush!

You mean Mickey Rourke and Mickey Rooney aren't the same person?

Mickey Rourke- how sad! Looking like a well-worn road w/bad facial hair and driving around drunk on a Vespa- jeez I guess the checks have stopped coming in for him.

Why are there so many celebrity DUIs? My guess is because there are too many celebs who own cars rather than ponies. Can you get arrested for riding a pony under the influence?

AS, Heather Darnell of Mountain City, Georgia was arrested a little over a year ago for drunken horsey riding.

But according to 1800DUILaws.com, riding drunk in Pennsylvania and Utah are not illegal, because DUI laws there are written for people operating vehicles, which a pony is not.

But if the *pony* is drunk, I don't know what the law is.

we might have known the talk would turn to ponies before this day was through.
this is one pony-lovin' blog crowd.

Maybe Mickey Rourke has been moonlighting as a carny?

We need an on-line quiz. Line up lots of mug shots, and we have to choose - celeb, or meth addict?

No Amy Winehouse pics to confuse things, though.

e is effing brilliant.

Don't forget Bill Murray in his golf cart!
It's not just the Vespa that is pathetic in the Mickey Rourke case. It's the Vespa combined with Miami Beach. There's something that sounds like a washed-up drug dealer sleeping on the beach in his dirty Hawaiian shirt.

Byoolin, I am in awe of your powers of recollection. Or at least your googling skills. Alternatively, I am disturbed by the amount of free time you seem to have...

Well really, what's not to like about ponies? But you definitely don't want to get on the wrong side of a drunk pony!

Brit needs to buy each of her kids ponies (and me one too while she is at it) rather than drive them. Apparently, she ran a red light, while hiding behind a cell phone to disguise who was doing the running. Unfortunately for the toxic blonde, there was a court monitor in the car, so there goes anonymity.

And Brit's gone and bought a $120K Mercedes SL65 (like what LiLo wrecked), so she's got a 600hp convertible to tool around in. Word is that Kevin has officially requested that she not take the boys driving in this car. If she does, you can guarantee no appropriate seating (it's a two-seater, no chance she's fitting two kids' car seats in there).

For 120K she could afford a driver to take her around in a Honda. Which has room for two car seats in the back.

What about Nick Hogan? His DUI has left his friend in a permanent vegetative state.

As soon as I saw "Honda" and Britney Spears, I thought of Sir Mix-a-lot and "Baby Got Back".

I say Bowie wins for the most stylin' mugshot EVAR!!

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1108072bowie1.html

he's a "z" list celeb, based on his father's notoriety, but what about nick hogan? he was arrested. his accident caused a severe enough head injury to his passenger that he is still in a coma.

ASinMoCo, like you, my manager is also disturbed by the amount of free time I seem to have.

Adewale...(Mister Eko from Lost) did NOT get arrested for a DUI. He was released after being charged with resisting arrest or some crap. You really need to remove this before you're sued for SLANDER.

Adewale/Mister Eko from Lost, was NOT arrested for DUI. Please check your facts by doing a simple Google search!

Slander!

He is not nice! His profile was found on wealthyromance.com last week. It is said he has a major crush on beautiful single mom.
