Ever wondered what Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan look like without the slap, fancy lighting and Photoshop?

Well, you can wonder no more thanks to our Hottest Celebrity Mug Shots gallery.

Our list chronicles the impromptu photo shoots that some of our favourite celebs have had to undergo down at the station after a spot of misbehaving.

Mug shots usually capture stars at their worst, often intoxicated and displaying varying degrees of remorse for their crimes.

A special mention goes out to 24 star Kiefer Sutherland for being the newest addition to our gallery of shame - and for staying in character as Jack Bauer during his booking photo.

From stars who have mugged for the camera recently (Kiefer, Shia LaBeouf, Akon,) to the classics (Hugh Grant, O.J.) they’re all here in our Hottest Celebrity Mug Shot gallery.
