NAOMI CAMPBELL

Okay, so she didn't get arrested in 2007, but Naomi Campbell was sentenced to a week of community service in NYC this year. She showed up every day to her janitorial job dressed like she was on a catwalk, and for good reason. She had parlayed her icky community service gig into a fashion spread and diary for W Magazine. A notable quote about her experiences in the world of "real people":

“Two of the people in the room have never been on a plane. They ask me what it’s like, and I’m embarrassed to tell them I was on seven planes the week before alone. It’s so interesting to get to know so many different sorts of people.”
“One co-worker tells me how he ended up here, basically because of alcohol. I bond with him, and I tell him I’m in recovery.”

“Some people can handle a drink or a line of cocaine, but I’ve finally come to realise that, for me, it’s all or nothing - and it has to be nothing. And my life has changed since [I realised that].”

To quote myself — "It’s telling that Naomi Campbell got embarrassed because she was on 7 planes in 7 days and not because she threw a cell phone at someone’s head and was sentenced to a week as a NYC janitor."
