The arrest was made after a two-mile chase that began near the Saddle River Police Station and ended outside her estate in Saddle River, NJ.
BILL GATES
MR MUGSOFT
Gates was arrested in Albuquerque in 1977 for running a stop sign and driving without a license. Apparently, Gates had a hard time sticking to driving laws.

LARRY KING
MUGSHOW MUG
In 1971, King was arrested for grand larceny, and pleaded no contest to passing a bad check. The particulars remain muddled and unproven, but it’s alleged that King tried to sell his influence with Richard M. Nixon’s attorney general John Mitchell to a convicted stock swindler named Louis Wolfson.
CONCLUDES TOMORROW BITCHES…..
I read about the recent plight regarding O.J. Simpson getting sent down for literally running up in a Las Vegas hotel. He was reportedly very cross and armed with a desert eagle and was wailing a crowbar around like a complete nutter. I think his aim was to seize back his memorabilia which he had either previously auctioned off or sold for money.
We all know the real reason that anyone still gives a fuck or even knows about O.J. is (other than a hall-of fame-inducted American football career and a starring role in Ace Ventura,) because he killed his ex-wife and her new bit of fluff.
He then inspired the phenomena that is GTA by having an massive, long winded cop chase (which in his case would probably have been the equivalent of a 5 star law-breaking frenzy), and his cheats in ‘human game mode’ didn’t work so he couldn’t have the standard equipped bazookas or grenade launchers for the helicopters, (which always come in handy).
So he got nicked.
So that was the inspiration for the most famous and funny mugshots I could find which poses the question, why do famous people think they are the stars of their own video games?
HIP HOP MUGS.
R MUGGY
R&B Super Star
R. Kelly was arrested in Miami on 12 counts of possession of child pornography. Authorities searched Kelly’s Davenport, Florida home and seized camera equipment which alledgedly had pictures of Kelly “involved in sexual conduct with the female minor.”
On March 17, 2004, Circuit Judge Dennis Maloney ruled that the police did not have enough evidence to justify searching Kelly’s home and that the pictures were illegally seized. Prosecutors did not appeal Maloney’s decision and ultimately dropped the charges.
Kelly has always maintained that he was innocent of all charges against him.
DMUGX
woof woof
On June 24, 2004 DMX was held in central lockup in Queens, New York after being arrested at Kennedy Airport’s parking lot after he and another man were allegedly caught trying to steal a car then fighting with the car’s owner. DMX allegedly crashed through the parking-lot gate, shouting to the parking lot attendant that he was as an FBI agent. He then stopped another driver and tried to force him out of his car, also identifying himself as an FBI agent.
DMX pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and reckless endangerment and was fined $1,000, was sentenced to a conditional discharge, had his license suspended for six months and had to forfeit his 1998 Ford Expedition SUV.
TUPAC MUGUR
PAC RIP
On November 18, 1993, Tupac “2Pac” Shakur was arrested for sexually abusing a 19-year-old woman, who he met in a New York nightclub, and allegedly sodomized and sexually abused with three of his friends. In 1995, he was sentenced to prison for up to four and a half years, but received an early release after a few months. In September 1996, the 25-year-old Shakur was shot four times in the chest and died from the wounds.
50 MUGS
BLACK HOMER SIMPSON?
At the age of 19, rap singer 50 Cent plead guilty to selling heroin and crack cocaine.
In a more recent case, 50 Cent was sentenced to two years probation on July 22, 2005 from an incident in May 2004 when 50 Cent jumped into the audience after being hit with a water bottle. He was charged with three counts of assault and battery.
LIL MUG
Wheezy baby
QUEEN BEE
Lil’ Kim was arrested in New Jersey in July 1996 for possession of marijuana. The arrest took place after police raided the home of the late Notorious B.I.G. Various members of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. were arrested after authorities found weapons and marijuana. Her legal problems did not end there.In April 2004, Jones was indicted for lying to a federal grand jury after testified that she did not notice that two of her close friends at a shootout between members of her “entourage” and the rival rap group, Capone-N-Norega.

I had noticed and now have decided to share mustaches with the blog world before anyone jumps on the bandwagon!! I’m quite keen on the Fu Manchu!!
Chevron
A thick and wide mustache, usually worn long to cover the top border of the upper lip.
Dali
A narrow mustache with long points bent or curved steeply upward. Named for artist Salvador Dali.
English
A narrow divided mustache that begins at the middle of the upper lip, with long whiskers pulled to either side of the center. The areas beyond the corners of the mouth are typically shaved.
Fu manchu
A mustache that begins on the upper lip and whose whiskers are grown very long to extend down each side of the mouth down to the to jaw. The areas just past the corners of the mouth are shaven, thus differentiating this style from the “horseshoe” (see below).
Handlebar
A handlebar mustache can be worn large or small (”petit handlebar”); it is characterized by the fact that it is bushy and must be worn long enough to curl the ends upward, which is usually achieved with styling wax.
Horseshoe
A full moustache with vertical extensions grown on the corners of the lips and down the sides of the mouth to the jawline, resembling an upside-down horseshoe. The whiskers grown along the sides of the mouth in the horseshoe are sometimes referred to as “pipes.” Not to be confused with the “fu manchu” which is grown long from the upper lip only– the sides remain shaven in the fu manchu.
Imperial
A large mustache growing from both the upper lip and cheeks, whiskers from the cheeks are styled pointing upward.
Lampshade
A mustache similar to the “painter’s brush,” but with corners angled slightly, resembling the shape of a lampshade.
Mouthbrow
See “pencil.”
Painter’s brush
A thick mustache covering the width of the mouth, usually worn short, with slightly rounded corners.
Pencil
A thin, narrow, closely clipped mustache that outlines the upper lip. Pencil style mustaches can be trimmed in different manners (see below). Also sometimes called a “mouthbrow.”
Pyramidal
A general name for mustaches shaped narrow on top and wide on the bottom, like a pyramid. Pyramidal mustaches can be shaped in a variety of ways, as shown below.
Toothbrush
A thick mustache, shaved to be about an inch wide in the center.
Walrus
A large, bushy, droopy mustache that hangs down over the lips, often entirely covering the mouth.
‘TUPAC’
Tupac a young Train Surfer, hangs from the side of a train, practicing his moves on the way to school. South Africa, 2007.
‘SEVEN‘
Seven performs a trick called 'Graveling' which basically involves dancing along the moving gravel at 45 mph to create the illusion of running at the same speed as the train.
‘BAPTISTA‘
Baptista, a young Train Surfer, performs a 20/20 - walking hand over hand along the side of the train while in full motion. South Africa, 2007.

Girl Talk, aka Gregg Gillis, a former bio-mechanical engineer from Pittsburg, has put a new record, and done a bit of a Radiohead by giving it away for whatever you want to pay. It would be kinda tricky to actually put it out since Girl Talk’s music is essentially 15 samples per song, none licenced and all reasonably well known. His is a kinda Diplo style thing where he lines up some B-More or krunked out filth over something entirely incongrouous, like a piece of 90s alt rock, or some pop hit (Come On Eileen anyone?).
The first album I heard of his was the supreme Night Ripper, which was actually available in the peerless Rounder Records for a couple of weeks. I totally wore that out playing it, so when a CDR with Girl Talk scrawled on it in biro plopped into my lap, I dropped it into my player immediately, and….. WOW. So much filthier, more Baltimore, and yet so much delicious pop in there too. Amazing. Its not gonna cost you anything - get over to ILLEGAL ART (the label that puts Girl Talk out) and download a paaaaaarrrrtaaaaaayyyy.
Check this track - not even the best track, but the only one I could find de nada. Set It Off
Just found this one too - peep the Nirvana sample - legend. In Step

There is no story to go with this tune. It basically is just straight up the funniest thing I’ve heard for SO LONG. Scroll down for the lyrics, but listen first - THERE YOU HO AGAIN!
Ho by Ludicris from 2000’s Incognegro
Ho (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, I said that you’z a Ho (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, I said that you’z a Ho (Ho)
You doing Ho activities
With Ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, Hos are your enemies
With ho energy to do what you do
Blew what cha blew, screw what cha screw
Y’all professional like DJ Clue,
pulling on my coat tail
And why you think you take a Ho to a Ho-tel
Ho-tell everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in the sky for the Ho-zone layer
Now C’mon playa wants a Ho always
And Ho’s neva close, they open like hallways
So here’s the whole cake for your Ho Ho crew
And everybody wants some, cuz Ho’s gotta eat too
Chorus
You can’t turn a Ho into a house wife
Hos don’t act right
There’s Ho’s on a mission and there’s Ho’s on a crack pipe
Hey Ho, How you doin’ Where you been?
Probly doing Ho stuff Cuz there you Ho again
It’s a Ho wide world, that we livin’ in
Feline feminine fantastical women
Not all, just some
You Ho who you are
There’s Ho’s in the room, there’s Ho’s in the car
There’s Ho’s on stage, there’s Ho’s by the bar
Ho’s by near and Ho’s by far
Chorus
You got a run in your panty-Hos
Even your daddy knows
that you sucking down chocolate like daddy-os
Your Hos are ho-rrible, ho-rendous
On taxes ya’ll writin’ off, Hos as dependents
I see the Ho-rizon, It ain’t surprisin’
It’s just a Ho-asis, with ugly chicks faces
Hos don’t feel so sad and blue
Cuz most of us niggas is Hos too
Chorus
…and Matty B again, damn dude - your our flippin’ boy alright.

Because Jay Sean is GASH.
But i like Boy Better Know and the verses on this track.
My favourite 2 are:
‘If she says it’s ova then it’s ova, tell her she’s lucky like a 4 leaf clover
But you keep on ringing her Nokia, worst think about it, she’s on Voda’
‘Forget the knock knock knockin, making a scene 4 neighbours are clockin’
You need to take control, make her know if she dont open the door ur boppin’
But on a better note this is….

Congrats to the ATG posse who hosted their first party down at Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle last Friday night. The night was a total banger with sets from Caspa, Reso, Klose1, Rattus Rattus, Dirty Rotten DJ’s, Alex Brooks, Alpha Sounds an Ray Stanley and the venue looked crisp with loads of spray nozzle art and an x-rated hotdog by Jimi which creased me. Props to Lowell for having an after party up in Dollis all day Saturday, I had a nice nap in the garden an missed my mega train but all in all it was a sick weekend.
PS. Extra props go out to the cabbie we had on the way to the after party, Ive never met a more open minded transport employee.
