The Celebrity Mug Shot T-Shirt by Let's Rage commemorates some of our favorite stars' bad behavior.
There's a little bit of a thrill in seeing someone rich and famous get in trouble with the law -- akin to when you would gleefully watch your parents discipline your older sibling, or something. While most of these celebrities tend to get off with merely a slap on the wrist (I'm looking at you, Lindsay), it's still satisfying to know that wealth and notoriety can't get you out of everything.
The celebrities included on the shirt range from Paris Hilton and the much-troubled Lindsay Lohan, to Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson. Though the most common infraction is possession or DUI, more serious offenses are accounted for.
