What Are You Smiling About?

Posted Sep 17th 2006 9:30AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ recently obtained a mugshot of American Idol reject Corey Clark from the Yuma County Sheriff's Department. Upon its arrival one detail was prominent ... he was smiling!

We went digging through our files and found that Corey is just the latest famous person to participate in a rapidly growing trend. Celebrities, arrested for a variety of offenses, are taking mugshots that look more like expensive professional photo shoots.

TMZ has assembled some of the greatest happy celebrity jailbirds for your viewing pleasure.

1. Harry Sez: "Remember, there is no such thing as bad publicity just make sure you spell (the) name correctly. In public life be you a drunk, whore, doper, wifebeater, pedophile, common thief or closet deviate IT DOES NOT MATTER. Just smile and look this way!"

2. This kid looks just like Alan Thicke. You remember him from that T.V. series he was in for years called " Growing Pains. " If Haley works again in a motion picture and they are looking to cast his Father. They won't need to look very far. What a look alike. Especially when his hair is short.

9. That's a shame, poor Osment still has young rosy cheeks and has committed his first offense. Someday those cheeks won't be so rosy. Why do they smile? Do they not get it?

10. I want to see Paris Hilton's mug shots too!!! Haley gets into a car wreck under the influence....so what? Kid's do stupid stuff all the time, but he just happens to be famous. Hilton, on the other hand, goes out of her way to do stupid stuff. I'm not condoning was Haley did, but with the way Paris acts she deserves to have her mug shot in the press......maybe it's not out there because she wasn't smiling?
:-D
