It has to be faced; some of our celebs are not all sweetness and light. In fact at some stage in their lives they were downright nasty! Yes, folks we are adding even more names to our list of “Mad, bad and dangerous to know” celebs. Prepare yourselves; it makes tough reading.

Will Smith
Will Smith was arrested in the late eighties after his involvement in a serious assault. The victim was left with an eye injury. Will was charged with recklessly endangering another person’s life, and criminal conspiracy. The charges were dismissed and Will has seemingly dismissed those facts from his celebrity bio too!

Bill Gates
The altogether brilliant and classically suited billionaire Bill Gates was arrested for speeding without a license in his younger years. He was even arrested a second time for not screeching to a halt at a stop sign Perhaps those events inspired him to go on and make good by creating the greatest on line computer empire known to man.

Nick Pickard
Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard was arrested for drunk driving. He pled guilty was fined and banned from driving for 12 months. What happened Nick? Only the Man Himself really knows.

Jay Z
The fact that it happened in the late nineties clearly makes no difference to the facts. Jay Z was involved in an argument in a nightclub which ended up with Jay stabbing a record executive in the stomach. The man survived and Jay got three years’ probation. Today he looks as if “Butter would not melt in his mouth!”

Matthew McConaughey
Gorgeous Oscar winning Matthew McConaughey was arrested in the nineties and charged with possessing marijuana and dancing naked around his home. Other illegal substances were found there too. The charges were dropped when he pled guilty to making a noise, and he ended up paying a mere fifty dollar fine. Perhaps his truly charming self-saved him from the jail house.

Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice is a bad boy “au naturel”. He was arrested for possession of firearms, assaulting his wife, as in pulling her hair out, and to boot allegedly kicking her. He was ordered to complete sessions of family therapy and keep away from his wife! This is clearly a case of an ever simmering “bubble bubble toil and trouble!”

Bruno Mars
Long before Bruno Mars became famous he was arrested for cocaine possession. He pleaded guilty paid a fine and completed 300 hours of community service. He has not looked back since, in fact he has become the original “goody two shoes!”

Cheryl Cole
A while back the stunningly beautiful Cheryl Cole was arrested following an argument with a bathroom attendant in a nightclub. Apparently she was charged with racially motivated, aggravated assault. The charge was dropped but she was convicted of causing actual bodily harm. Cheryl was a young and emotional gal at the time, she has grown up now.

Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry was seventeen years old when he stole a family friend’s credit card and then proceeded to go on a massive spending spree for three months. He spent also three months in the slammer. Perhaps he learned what was really important there, and has led a responsible and gifted life ever since.
