Model behaviour

celebrity news,model Naomi Campbell We\'ve long known Naomi Campbell had a wild temper and was prone to striking out (usually with a phone) at those charged with taking care of her every whim, but the law finally caught up with her. She pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless assault against her maid earlier this year, and was sentenced to one week\'s service at the New York Sanitation Department. Now, that\'s not model behaviour

Hilton heights

Paris Hilton,criminal offence,celebrity news Paris Hilton Paris recently threw herself a massive \'Get Out of Jail\' bash to celebrate the end of her custodial sentence for driving without a licence.

Just goes to show, money can\'t buy you happiness or, apparently, brains either

Mean girls

Lindsay Lohan,drugs,alcohol abuse,celebrity news Lindsay Lohan Miss Lohan was arrested in Santa Monica and released on bail for driving under the influence of alcohol and with a suspended licence and cocaine possession.

The jury took less than four hours to reach a unanimous decision in the trial that gripped America for an entire year... But was he really innocent? In 1997 he was found liable for the murders in a civil suit, but has not paid the $33.5 million in damages he was ordered to pay. In 2006 he was on the brink of publishing a book entitled \'If I Did It\', when the publication was cancelled at the last moment

In August 1999, he was sentenced to three years in prison for violating his probation, but served only one year. He seemed to be getting his career back on track with a recurring guest role in \'Ally McBeal\', but his subsequent re-arrest meant scriptwriters had to write Downey Jr out of end-of-season episodes, infuriating creator David E. Kelley. He has since cleaned up, and has met with success as both an actor and musician
