  • Tim Allen: Spent two years in jail after being caught with cocaine and pleading guilty to drug trafficking; was released in 1981.
  • Paul McCartney: Spent 10 days in jail after getting caught with marijuana in 1980.

  • Robert Downey Jr.: Spent a year in prison in 1999 after missing a drug test while on probation; he was on probation for trespassing into a neighbor's home and passing out on the bed, high.
  • Mark Wahlberg: Served 45 days in 1986 after attacking a man on the street.
  • Paris Hilton: Served three days in 2007 after violating probation by failing to enroll in rehab, speeding, and driving without a license.
  • Michelle Rodriguez: Spent 18 days in jail in 2007 after violating probation for a DUI arrest by not performing community service.
  • Christian Slater: Served 59 days in 1997 after assaulting his girlfriend while drunk and high.

Huff Post left out the other Wahlberg attack, when he stabbed a Vietnamese man in the eye, permanently blinding him.
