A RIGHT MUG

World’s famous mugshots as Donald Trump hauled to jail – from Paris Hilton’s drunk drive to David Bowie’s drugs charge

DONALD Trump has broken the internet with his mugshot after he was booked at an Atlanta jail over election interference charges.

Just hours after the historic image was released, his official campaign began flogging mugs, t-shirts and stickers that featured the snap.

The former President, 77, scowled at the camera as he posed for the police portrait at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.

Trump spent just 20 minutes inside the facility as cops took the shot as well as his fingerprints during his fourth arrest this year.

He has made history with the sulky snap - as it's the first-ever mugshot of a former US President.

The New York native's memorable mugshot may have even trumped some of the most iconic celeb police portraits to ever be taken.

Trump joins the likes of socialite Paris Hilton, Starman David Bowie and former NFL legend OJ Simpson in the US State Department's Hall of Fame.

We have taken a look at some of the most infamous jailhouse mugshots that celebrities have had to share with the world.

Brit heartthrob Hugh Grant sheepishly hunched his shoulders and pouted for his mugshot after his 1995 arrest in Los Angeles.

The Love Actually star, 62, was nicked near the notorious Sunset Strip after paying local sex worker Divine Brown $60 (£47) to perform oral sex on him in his car.

Hugh, then 34 and dating supermodel Liz Hurley, was arrested for indecent conduct and did not contest the charges.

He said he did not have enough money to take his lover - real name Estella Marie Thompson - to a hotel, so opted for a nearby street.

The actor described it as a moment of "insanity", but it did little to stop the embarrassing headlines sweeping the world.

Even talk show host Jay Leno asked Hugh: "What the hell were you thinking?"

He was sentenced to two years' probation, ordered to pay £760 and complete an AIDS education programme.

Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to standing in front of a miserable grey background to get her mugshot taken.

The 37-year-old actress has racked up quite a rap sheet over the years and routinely made headlines for her booze-fueled antics.

She has been locked up at least five times for DUIs, violating her probation and stealing a $2,500 necklace.

But there is one image in her catalogue of mugshots that has stuck with fans following her arrest in July 2010.

Lindsay looks up at the camera with a half-smirk on her face while sporting blonde straight hair and a vacant expression.

It was taken as the Parent Trap protagonist began serving a 90-day sentence at California's Lynwood jail after she violated her probation as part of her 2007 DUI case.

Lindsay was freed just 13 days later for good behaviour and has since incredibly turned her life around and ditched her wild partying.

Frank Sinatra

Legendary crooner Frank Sinatra found himself in trouble with the law in 1938 due to his love for the ladies.

The American singer was arrested for "seduction" at the age of 23 after he was accused of getting involved with an unmarried woman.

Males who convinced single females of good repute to get frisky were slapped with the archaic charge in the 1930s.

It also applied to men who dished out promises of marriage that never came to fruition - which could have marred a woman's reputation.

Luckily for Frank, the charge was eventually dropped when it was revealed that the supposedly single lady was actually married.

Nevertheless, his handsome mugshot followed him throughout his illustrious career as an esteemed actor and singer.

He was later arrested again the following year for adultery after new information came to light. This was later dropped.

Paris Hilton

It is no surprise that model and actress Paris Hilton made the list with her infamous mugshot thanks to her sultry eye makeup and freshly glossed lips.

She had been arrested in September 2006 for driving under the influence and ended up having her license suspended.

The Simple Life star pleaded no contest in January the following year to a charge of reckless driving.

She was handed a 36-month probation period and had to pay $1,500 in fines.

But Paris was then pulled over twice by cops who found she was behind the wheel without a valid license.

The Simple Life star posed for police in June 2007 as officers impounded her $190,000 Bentley Continental GTC.

In May of that year, Paris was sentenced to 45 days in jail. She served half of her sentence due to good behaviour and overcrowding in jail.

OJ Simpson

OJ Simpson's stony-faced mugshot came after he was arrested on murder charges following the 1994 killings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goodman.

The former running back, nicknamed "the Juice", was the prime suspect after the pair were stabbed to death in Los Angeles.

A single bloody glove was found at the scene - which famously did not fit OJ's hand - as well as bloodstains matching his blood type.

Following the dramatic chase in his white Ford Bronco, the star had a brief stand-off with police before giving himself up.

OJ was eventually acquitted of the grisly murders after the "Trial of the Century" in 1995, which catapulted lawyers Robert Kardashian, Robert Shapiro and Johnny Cochran to fame.

The former NFL star was freed from parole last year following a spell behind bars for an armed robbery in Las Vegas.

He sports an eerily similar stare in his more recent mugshots, but his initial jail snap is still the one that will gone down in the history books.

Michael Jackson

The King of Pop's booking photograph was taken in November 2003 by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

Michael Jackson was accused of sexually assaulting teenage cancer patient Gavin Arvizo, 13, seeing him get led away in handcuffs.

He was charged with two felony counts of providing an intoxicant to a minor under the age of 14 after the bombshell claims came to light.

An explosive trial in 2005 followed, where Jackson also faced charges of seven counts of child molestation.

The Man in the Mirror singer vehemently denied the allegations and was ultimately acquitted.

Further allegations of sexual abuse continued to emerge in the following years, however, Michael was never convicted of any crime.

The star passed away at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009.

David Bowie

David Bowie took his rock and roll lifestyle to another level in March 1976 when he was arrested for marijuana possession in New York.

The singer's iconic mugshot came after he was nicked alongside pal Iggy Pop in his luxury hotel suite after a gig in Rochester.

A police report at the time said they confiscated "about half a pound of marijuana" from the group.

Bowie clearly didn't sweat the charges, as he looked ridiculously cool with his slicked-back hair and donning a three-piece pinstripe suit.

The Brit appeared in court, charged with a class-C felony and could have faced up to 15 years in prison, but the charges were ultimately dropped.

The legendary mugshot of the Ziggy Stardust icon was recovered from the rubbish of a retired police officer by auction house worker Gary Hess and subsequently sold for £1,900.

Bowie died in January 2016 following a battle with liver cancer, just two days after his 69th birthday.

Do you believe in life after... lockup?

It is a good job superstar Cher did, as she found herself on the wrong side of the law during her teenage years before she shot to fame.

The American singer, dubbed the "Goddess of Pop", was hauled off to jail at age 13 or 14 after taking a pal's car to a drive-in theatre.

Her friend had reportedly asked her to watch the vehicle while he was otherwise engaged, but she grew impatient.

Cher skirted off behind the wheel in Los Angeles - seeing police chase the teenage tearaway down and arrest her.

She says her baby-faced mugshot is the only reminder she has of the incident - although her mother remembers all the gory details.

Georgia Holt said she "went for a spin" to the local drive-in cinema after getting "bored" of waiting in the vehicle for her pal.

"They called me at 3.30 in the morning and said we have your daughter down here at the police station," Georgia laughed.

Golf ace Tiger Woods looked worse for wear as he posed for his viral mugshot in May 2017 after being arrested for drink driving.

The former world number one was detained by cops near his Florida home at around 3am and spent around four hours in custody.

His photograph, showing him in a white t-shirt while staring blankly at the camera, was taken at Palm Beach County jail.

The golfer, 47, was subsequently charged with driving under the influence.

He pleaded guilty to one count of reckless driving and was given probation, but insisted he had an "unexpected reaction" to prescription medicine.

Tiger said in 2017: "I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications.

"I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly."
