Watching VH1

Happy Independence Day! I thought a fun way to celebrate being free in the United States would be to check out some pictures of VH1 celebrities who have at one time lost some of their own independence by getting arrested. I scoured the internet and found some great mugshots of VH1 CelebReality stars past, present, and future. I hope you enjoy them! There are more mugshots after the jump.

Move over, Paris. The latest celeb-inmate to hit the jails of California is none other than Shooting Sizemore star Tom Sizemore. His drug addiction and violation of the terms of a previous probation has done him in this time. Eonline.com reports:

Despite a tearful mea culpa by the actor—and a promise to behave himself—Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis agreed with the prosecutor that the 45-year-old Sizemore had violated the terms of his probation by “being under the influence of methamphetamine, opiates and marijuana” when he was arrested last month in Bakersfield.

Fortunately for Tom, he has been sentenced to serve out his term at Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego, which has a rehab center within the prison. Hopefully, this will allow him to get the help he so desperately needs. Anyone who has seen an episode of Shooting Sizemore on VH1 saw how troubled and horribly addicted Tom is to drugs and alcohol. Famous friends, like Martin Sheen, are supporting him in his sentence and recovery so he can be a better role model for his two year old twin sons. His lawyer plans to appeal the sentence and wants time in previous rehab centers and jail stints to be counted toward his 16 months in prison. He was arrested in May along with his friend Jason Salcido for getting into a drug fueled argument at a hotel.

Drug addiction problems continue to plague Tom Sizemore, most recently known for his reality show “Shooting Sizemore” on VH1. The cameras caught Tom in all sorts of states of conciousness due to drugs and alcohol. This time, methamphetamines were the problem. The Gossip Girls reports:

Bakersfield police arrested Sizemore and his friend, actor Jason Salcido, when they were caught in a car with drugs and drug paraphernalia. At around 7:00 a.m. Tuesday, the pair had attempted to check into a room at the Four Points Sheraton in California. After the clerk was unable to find a reservation, Jason allegedly threatened violence on the staff member - resulting in a call to the police.

Since he is currently on probation for previous drug busts, he is likely facing jail time. It is sad to see the “Blackhawk Down” actor so far under the influence. Here’s to hoping this will serve as a wake up call and help him truly get straightened out. It’s a shame to see such great acting abilities go to waste.
