By now we all know about Bernie Madoff’s corporate gangsta, with the $50 billion ponzi scheme he pulled on thousands of investors. But who woulda thunk the billionaire conman was down to get gully in the yard?
According to reports, 71-year-old Madoff floored a fellow inmate after getting into it about the state of the stock market! Sure, it’s not an Aryan Brotherhood blood vendetta or enlisting the other guy into sexual servitude, but it sounds fucking jailish to us. It’s tough enough for the average Joe to survive prison without ended up in a scene straight out of American History X, but it’s a given that anyone with celebrity is gonna have to knuckle up from time to time; after all, “famous and scraped” > “anally raped.” So in a nod to Badass Bernie and his combative compatriots, here’s a brief history of other celebrity prison fights…

We’re still devastated by the loss of John Hughes, and none of the filmmaker’s flicks had more of a profound influence on us than the 1986 classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. With it’s endless quotables, Hughes’s fourth film made us want to ditch class and dodge truant officers (well, more than we already were). And if you re-watch it now, its pretty clear that the film’s fashion has come back into style 23 years later—the Ray Ban’s, knit vests and plaid trousers. Even if you were in diapers when Ferris hit theaters, we’re sure you’ve recently rocked something that was fashionable two decades ago. If you want to get a similar look before you start cutting classes, allow the Complex style team to show you how to get fresh like Ferris and Cameron below…

We’ve always trusted the Gordon’s Fisherman for his choice of seafood, but it’s his taste in hats we’re most proud of. Who knew the bucket-style head gear worn by seamen would make such a splash in the world of fashion? The nautical look has been making its presence known since it first crossed over into hip-hop in the '80s.
EPMD set things off by rocking their signature headgear on the cover to their sophomore album Unfinished Business, but now high-class brands like Gucci have given the bucket hat a luxurious makeover, as seen on Fabolous at this year’s Summer Jam (above). Are you brimming with confidence in this summer style? “Hump” or “Dump” the bucket hat trend after the jump.
