Although J-Lo wants us to believe Louboutins are a celebrity’s best accessory, I know the truth: Every celeb needs a lawyer, especially in 2009. This was the year when: (10) Carrie Prejean settled her religious discrimination lawsuit against Miss California USA after she was caught on tape not in prayer position; (9) Sarah Jessica Parker busted the police for being involved in her surrogate baby mama drama; (8) Roman Polanski flew to Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award and, instead, was arrested after a lifetime on the run; (7) John Travolta sadly faced a mistrial after testifying against two Bahamians accused of extorting him following his son’s tragic death; and (6) Anna Nicole Smith‘s legacy continued to leap from the pages of Playboy to the pages of court dockets. If you’re curious about the top 5 (and I know you are), click here.
