When Fame Turns To Infamy

In the world of glitz and glam, where red carpets are rolled out for the elite, the notion of celebrities getting into trouble might seem paradoxical. But, as the saying goes, nobody is above the law, not even the stars we idolize. When these famous faces fall from grace, their legal lows become the talk of the town. From hip-hop moguls to reality TV personalities, here are 18 celebrities whose crimes have landed them behind bars.
