Hollywood has always sold fantasy—but behind the spotlights, scandals have been scribbled into police logs, court dockets, and midnight newspaper editions since the silent era. Hollywood Police Blotter pulls back the velvet curtain to examine the moments when movie stars, directors, and industry figures collided with the law, whether through bad luck, bad judgment, or the brutal scrutiny of fame itself. From Prohibition-era arrests and studio-era cover-ups to modern paparazzi chases, courtroom dramas, and headline-making scandals, this series traces how celebrity and justice have intersected across more than a century of show business. These are not gossip items or moral verdicts, but historically grounded accounts—reported as they unfolded, contextualized in their time, and stripped of myth—revealing how Hollywood has always balanced image, power, and accountability when the cameras stop rolling and the police reports begin.
