At least they have good taste.

Six drug smugglers were busted in Barcelona last week after they were caught at the airport with $630,000 of Manolo Blahniks made of COCAINE!

The police seized around 9 pounds of blow that was mixed with a liquid, turned into a paste, molded and then painted to look like the fancy footwear.

Wow. That's pretty creative. Stupid, but creative.

Each pair was valued at around $70,000.

Dayum.

We’re not sure why rich celebs feel the need to steal, but Peaches Geldof is at it again!

The British socialite and model was caught shoplifting makeup this past Friday from a branch of Boots the Chemists.

The 22-year-old was spotted by undercover security placing over $100 worth of makeup into her pockets and bags before heading out of the store.

She was caught by security as she tried to leave and taken to a back room where she handed over the stolen goodies. And while most would have called the police to report the incident, Peaches was let go.

Vivienne Westwood Tax Trouble HM Revenue

It looks like iconic fashion designer Vivienne Westwood has some worrying to do!

Apparently she "significantly undervalued" the net worth of her label in tax returns.

But those in charge at England's HM Revenue & Customs figured it out, and now she must pay back $50,000.

Ouchie. But probably not a super ouch for the Dame.

Possibly a little karma for being so snooty toward the Duchess Catherine of Cambridge???

Bridget Hall Busted By The Police Again

It’s been a bad few months for supermodel Bridget Hall.

The 33-year-old was arrested last August for reportedly driving under the influence in East Hampton.

But shortly after she denied the reports she was drunk and hired an attorney to fight the charges.

Now the hottie is dealing with new legal troubles — she’s been busted for driving without a license!

The incident took place last week, again in East Hampton, and according to police, “She stated that she was on her way to community service and paying for taxis was too expensive."

If taxis are too expensive, how about taking the bus or riding a biking?

Stop making excuses!
