Best Mugshot Ever -- Except Maybe Nolte
We love this one. We just got the Eric Carmen mugshots -- the dude who sang "Hungry Eyes" and was busted for DWUI (Driving Way Under the Influence).

49. I can't believe this is Eric Carmen. What did he do to his face? What a great example for any self-obsessed egotistical freakface to take a moment and say... well, maybe I DON'T need plastic surgery after all. This man looks NOTHING like what he once did. Yeah, yeah, I know, he's also 20 years older than he "once was." But, c'mon... I don't know what he had done to his face, but he really oughta sue his "surgeon." Other than that, Eric Carmen is an underappreciated talent. He was, at one time, an awesome singer. He sang the hell out of "All By Myself" -- but... the music industry being what it is, they dumped him on the roadside somewhere till they suddenly decided to use him for "Hungry Eyes." Hell, if I had been through what this poor guy has been through, not only would I have had plastic surgery on my face, I would have had a lobotomy to forget the hell I had been put through by the evil pig-lords of the music industry. So sad what happens to people.

50. If he were green he would favor Jim Carrey as the Grinch.

51. Aww bummer. I have been an Eric Carmen fan for years. Great voice; Go All The Way is one of the sexiest, hottest songs ever recorded. Go to rehab and sober up, Eric..don't piss away the rest of your life being a sot.

53. TMZ get the video for this! When he gets out of his SUV he actually falls into the cop who pulled him over after hitting a fire hydrant. Tthen he couldn't even lean back on his SUV without almost falling to the side like a domino.
AND THIS WAS IN THE AFTERNOON!!!

54. A few years back I attempted to bring reality to his adoring fans on the EC website to no avail. By speaking the truth about his over inflated ego as well as the obvious problems led to myself being banned from the website. Would be glad to have lunch with him again and maybe take him to an AA meeting to get the help he so desperately needs. My wife and I feel sorry for his family the most. Sincerely, Ron E.

56. I dated this guy in the 80s (no joke) - guess I made the right choice by moving on.
He had an ego even back then.
Get rid of the blonde hair - makes you look like that actor, Kristofer Tabori
Sad though, very talented musician/songwriter.
Hope he gets it together

57. He lives in N.E. Ohio in Gates Mills and I had his daughter at the Sylvan Learning Center where I was a director. He was always very nice but seemed to be rather univolved in his kids life. The mom is rather high maintenance and has nothing better to do than be involved in the kids lives. and showing me her new iPhone every day...kind of a pain in the ass. Wasn't there some controversy back in the day over him marrying is cousin?

58. Kelly, you must be thinking of Jerry Lee Lewis.
Anyway, I hope Eric gets help. He is a musical genius.

59. Eric Carmen was and still is a musical genius. Obviously he has some work to do... drinking and driving is unacceptable at any level... but we understand he's getting the help needed to move forward. He was lucky... he only hurt himself and his career... hopefully he is fully realizing his wake up call. Everybody loves to judge someone in trouble... let them look into themselves and judge themselves. I predict Eric's best work is yet to come.
