1. Nick Nolte—There’s just no way you can have this list without putting Nolte at the #1 spot. Greatest. Mugshot. Ever.

2. Lindsay Lohan—After her ridiculous lawsuit against E-Trade, I’m afraid to say anything bad about this young actress. Good thing the picture speaks for itself.

3. Paris Hilton—On this “night in Paris,” the hotel heiress and notorious party girl was charged with a DUI after some erratic driving and a failed field sobriety test.

4. Mike Tyson—The Baddest Man on the Planet was hit with a DUI after running a stop sign and nearly hitting a sheriff’s car.

5. Haley Joel Osment—He seems genuinely happy to be getting arrested for a DUI. Of course, he was also found with some marijuana, so maybe that’s what had him in such a great mood.

6. Rip Torn—In 2006, Rip Torn, who was 75 years old at the time, got ripped and decided to drive. The result was one of the most classic mugshots of the decade.

7. Kim Mattingly—Okay, so this was for public intoxication and not a DUI, but it’s far too great to be left off this list. By the way, Kim Mattingly is ex-Yankees star Don Mattingly’s wife.

8. Natasha Lyonne—Any time you have to tell the officer you’re a “movie star”, you can bet he doesn’t know or care who you are.

9. Cynthia Watros—At last count, 4 actors from Lost had gotten DUIs. But Watros clearly provided the best mugshot of the group.

10. Mel Gibson—Can you believe it’s been almost 4 years since Gibson went on his anti-Semitic tirade after getting arrested in Malibu for drunk driving? Nothing like the good ol’ days.

Which one is your favorite mugshot? Can anyone really top Nick Nolte?

Actor Rip Torn was sentenced to probation after pleading not guilty to a charge of driving under the influence in Connecticut. Torn was arrested on December 14, 2008 after police spotted him driving in the break-down lane of a highway in Salisbury. Police reportedly had been alerted to his impaired condition by patrons of the White Hart Inn, where he was seen stumbling to his car.

The judge approved Torn’s admittance to an alcohol education program and required the 78-year old to undergo a driver’s test.

Torn is an Emmy winner and Academy Award nominee who appears on the NBC show ’30 Rock’. He has two previous DUI offenses. He paid a fine and lost his license for an arrest in April 2007, and was acquitted following a 2004 arrest.

Actor arrested for drunk driving in Connecticut.

Rip Torn has been charged with another DUI in Salisbury, Connecticut. Police report that Torn had just left the White Hart Inn and was driving on Route 44 in his Subaru with a Christmas tree on the roof. Unfortunately he was in the breakdown lane.

Torn failed part of a field sobriety test and refused to submit to a breath test, and he was booked on suspicion of drunk driving in Connecticut. The 77-year actor pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane.

This is Torn’s third DUI arrest in five years. In April 2007, he paid a fine and had his license suspended for driving while intoxicated in New York. He was acquitted for NY DWI in 2004 after jurors said the prosecution failed to prove Torn had been drinking prior to a fender bender with a taxi cab. As it is his first Connecticut DUI offense, Torn may be able to qualify for Connecticut’s alcohol education program which would lead to the dropping of the charges if he successfully completes terms of probation.

Torn has appeared in a number of movies and television series, including ‘Men in Black’, ‘The Larry Sanders Show’ and a recurring role on ‘Thirty Rock’.
