It's time to update my mug shot gallery of the rich and/or famous and/or notorious.
Most are not good photos. Only Tom DeLay looks like he's posing for the family Christmas card. The others don't look too happy.
Today's addition: Mickey Rourke

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- A scooter-riding Mickey Rourke was arrested Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence. Rourke, star of "Sin City," "Diner" and "9 1/2 Weeks," was arrested at 4:20 a.m. and booked at the Miami-Dade County Jail, said Janelle Hall, a jail spokeswoman. He was released on a $1,000 bond, she said.
...A Miami Beach Police report said Rourke made a U-turn with a red light and then swerved several times while on a green scooter. He had a flushed face and bloodshot, watery eyes, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, the report said.
"I'm not drunk, I didn't even drink that much," the report quoted Rourke as saying.
Rourke, 51, allegedly failed field-sobriety tests before being taken to headquarters. He also failed an alcohol breath test, police said.
Rourke's mug shot is a cross between the Nick Nolte and the Tom DeLay.
Hair is Nolte-style, but I see a bit of DeLay in the smile. Maybe that's an optical illusion, thanks to that strange mustache.
Actually, it's pretty amazing that Rourke's DUI arrest is considered newsworthy. He's not exactly A-list anymore. He resides in the "where are they now" category.
