		<description><![CDATA[Hollywood Boulevard is a much safer place with these folks behind bars.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, the shocking news that <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/austin-powers-actor-suspected-of-killing-his-cellmate/" target="_blank">Random Task from <em>Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery</em> murdered his cell mate</a> with his bare hands hit <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/the-wire-766/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>the wire</a>. We were mostly surprised by the news that the actor, Joe Son, was even <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/genres-tv/sitcoms/prison-break-cast/" target="_blank">in jail</a>. Then we were super-duper double surprised to find out that he had been convicted for kidnapping a girl and raping her with a gun. Seriously, Mike Meyers, you let this guy near the Fembots?</p>
<p>However, Son is not alone. Though they typically get off with a slap on the wrists, not all actors and directors are so lucky. Here are seven <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/celebrities/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>celebrities</a> who have gone from call times to hard time.</p>
<h4>Felicia &#8216;Snoop&#8217; Pearson</h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/snoop.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-232210" title="snoop" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/snoop-e1318451377347.jpg" alt='' width="450" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>In an instance of life imitating art,<em> The Wire</em> actress (and Jayden Smith stand-in) was arrested this past March in a drug raid at her home after being surveilled for some time by the DEA. She was among sixty-four people arrested under suspicion of belonging to a large gang participating in the sale of drugs. Pearson (who was previosly convicted of second-degree murder) had her character defended by <em>The Wire</em> creator <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/david-simon-314/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>David Simon</a>. He stated, &#8220;She worked hard as an actor and was entirely professional, but the entertainment industry as a whole does not offer a great many roles for those who can portray people from the other America. There are, in fact, relatively few stories told about the other America&#8230; In places like West and East <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/baltimore/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Baltimore</a>, where the drug economy is now the only factory still hiring and where the educational system is so crippled&#8230; the vast majority of children are trained only for the corners.&#8221;</p>
<h4>Lillo Brancato Jr</h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/brancato.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-232205" title="brancato" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/brancato-e1318451434124.jpg" alt='' width="450" height="236" /></a></p>
<p><em>A Bronx Tale</em> and <em>The Sopranos</em> actor Lillo Brancato Jr. was arrested in 2005 after a <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/gunfight/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>gunfight</a> resulted in the death of an off-duty police officer. In <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/2009-636/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>2009</a>, Brancato was cleared of first-degree murder charges but was convicted of first-degree attempted burglary and sentenced to ten years in prison.</p>

It&#039;s not unheard of for a huge flop to kill a director&#039;s career. But usually, there&#039;s no jail time involved. Unfortunately for director John McTiernan, Rollerball isn&#039;t your usual flop.

McTiernan (Die Hard, Predator, The Hunt for Red October) was sentenced to one year in federal prison for lying about his involvement with Anthony Pellicano, a private investigator he hired to illegally wiretap producer Charles Roven. Roven and McTiernan worked together on Rollerball, and apparently when the film went south, so did their relationship.

McTiernan&#039;s attorney argued that he should not be sent to prison, in part, because he is on an anti-depressant medication not approved by the federal Bureau of Prisons. The judge sarcastically responded that &#34;(McTiernan) won&#039;t be the only depressed man in prison.&#34; 

Daaaaaamn! Yippee-ki-yay, motherf**ker! (Hit Fix)

Do you like John McTiernan&#039;s throw pillows? Well do you?!
John McTiernan, the director of Die Hard and Predator, has signed on to Shrapnel, what will be his first film since 2003. The story is about two war veterans who hunt each other in a lethal game of cat and mouse. Evan Daugherty&#039;s action-thriller script was on the 2008 Blacklist, and that&#039;s even without a warrior alien as part of the cat and mouse plotline.
It&#039;ll be nice to see McTiernan back behind the camera, even though his last few films have been way less than Die Hard-y. The director has been busy getting into sh*t with the government over the infamous Anthony Pellicano wiretapping scandal of 2006. His experience is a testament to why you never bug your wife&#039;s phone. Or your best friend&#039;s wife&#039;s phone. Even if her come-hither stares say, &#34;Bug my phone.&#34; (Variety)
