[SCBl0ndie]

His mugshot looks fab-u-lous.

His mugshot looks fab-u-lous.


Notice the 3-quarter turn.

Yeah, his mugshot somehow turns out looking quite artistic. Maybe he will be inspired to use this idea for one of his future shoots.

I read that Paris Hilton tried to save him from being arrested, telling the police that he was with her and her sister...

 

[ChinaLove]

Artistic? He looks like a country bum. And notice that bruise, or whatever on his head.

 

[Spike413]

Oh David dahling, that shot of you is perfection!

(01-25) 11:18 PST PARK CITY, Utah (AP) --

Celebrity photographer-filmmaker David LaChapelle was arrested during the opening weekend of the Sundance Film Festival after a run-in with police.

LaChapelle was arrested early Saturday after police were called to control a crowd that had gathered as security attempted to escort two actresses from the Marquee Club on Main Street.

Summit County sheriff's deputies said they asked LaChapelle several times to back up but he failed to comply.

LaChapelle was booked into the Summit County jail and later was released. He was cited for disorderly conduct.

Sundance Institute spokesman Patrick Hubley said LaChapelle's arrest wouldn't mar the festival's image because the Marquee isn't an official venue. He added that although LaChapelle is a filmmaker associated with the festival, he is also a private citizen. LaChapelle was in Park City to debut his first full-length feature, "Rize," which chronicles a dance movement in South-Central Los Angeles known as "krumping," a high-energy dance where the performers dress as clowns.
