Jerk Off: 9 Celebs Caught Performing “Lewd Acts” In Public

We loved Nick Stahl in the too-short HBO series "Carnivale," and man, has this guy had a strange year. He was missing, then found, then missing again. And now, just Thursday evening, he  was caught masturbating in a Hollywood adult video store. Cops arrested him and charged him with committing "lewd conduct," which is a misdemeanor charge, and released him a few hours later. Stahl claims it was all a "misunderstanding." As in, I misunderstood my dick for a writing utensil? Or, I misunderstood the difference between public and private? Ah, the world may never know.
