First of all, I don’t really know why Bai Ling is famous, except for her hideous wardrobe and multiple nipple slips on the red carpet. Apparently, her biggest role to date was in “The Crow,” and that was almost ten years ago. I checked out her resume on IMDB and it looks like she’s gotten more work just playing herself in cameo appearances than as a legitimate actress. And now, Bai is joining the ranks of celebrities in trouble with the law after being arrested for shoplifting about $16 worth of stuff at LAX.

Actress Bai Ling — recently named one of Us’ Worst Dressed at the Grammys — was arrested yesterday for shoplifting, TMZ.com reports.

She was at L.A.’s LAX airport when she walked out of a gift shop with two celebrity magazines and a pack of batteries (a $16 value) without paying.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ.com that Ling, 37, was placed under citizen’s arrest by a shop employee and was “cooperative but crying.”

She was then apprehended by airport security and booked for theft.

Citizen’s arrest! How cool is that? I hope someone talks to that shop clerk and gets all the details. How does one put someone under citizen’s arrest– are there handcuffs involved? Something tells me Bai would like that.

I’m betting money right now that Bai’s mugshot includes a nipple slip.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Bai Ling is shown at the Grammy Awards and at the 4th Annual Black Eyed Peas Peapod Foundation Benefit Concert on 2/7/08, thanks to PRPhotos. That hideous fashion must not come cheap.
