While being booked on charges of public intoxication and vandalism last week, Olympic gold medalist snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White appeared in his mugshot with a black eye, looking like he'd fought somebody. As badass as it seemed, reports said he collided with a pursuant hotel guest and a fence while trying to flee before police arrived, responding to his drunken activation of a hotel fire alarm, which forced guests to evacuate.

White isn't the only celeb who's turned up with a shiner much to the delight of the often envious public. Who can forget when Black Eyed Peas operation manager Polo Molina punched celebrity blogger Perez Hilton in the face in 2009 after Hilton dropped a gay slur on will.i.am, who had confronted him about harsh comments he'd made about his bandmate Fergie? Or that time in 2008 when Charlie Rose randomly showed up on his show with a black eye and no explanation?

With the joy everyone else takes in celebrities' bumps and bruises in mind, we've compiled a list of 25 celebs who, like White, have been photographed with eye-jammies. Badass? Just bad? You decide!
