Celebrity fads come and go -- Atkins, Scientology, you know the drill. But one seems here to stay: getting arrested! From P. Diddy to Martha Stewart, everyone's doing it. Of course, there's not time to report them all. That's why CCJ put some arrests you might not have heard about in the...
CCJ Celebrity Crime File!
Charges: Criminal Seasoning, 1st degree; 10 counts
It is alleged that on August 1, 2005, Mr. Lagasse did deliberately and with premeditation kick up crab bisque one notch too many. "The garlic I could handle," one witness reported, "but the Essence just burned my tongue. 'Bam!' he screamed."
Sentence: Time served; Mr. Lagasse has been ordered by the court not to purchase cayenne pepper, cumin, or chili powder.
Charges: Impersonation, 1st degree
Witnesses have reported that Kravitz, 41, has impersonated rock legend Jimi Hendrix since at least 1989. "I turned on the radio," one account stated, "and thought it was Hendrix, but it was too sanitized and derivative. The resemblance is uncanny, though." A search revealed several fuzz and wah-wah pedals.
Sentence: Charges were dropped, but an injunction now prevents Kravitz from performing "Purple Haze" or "All Along the Watchtower."
Charges: Felony Impression Abuse; 3 counts
Mr. Chappelle has allegedly used his comedy program, The Chappelle Show, to distribute illegal quantities of impressions to the public. "Countless teenagers are now pretending to be Rick James, Prince, or crack addicts," stated DA Jim Smith. "And they're not funny at all," he added.
Sentence: 10 to 15 years practicing stand-up in comedy clubs
