If a judge sentences Winona Ryder to community service this Friday, she will join a long line of stars who have paid for their crimes with mandatory altruism.

Halle Berry, 200 hours

From Halle Berry, sentenced to 200 hours for leaving the scene of an accident, to Kelsey Grammar, 300 hours for cocaine possession, judges have ordered Hollywood's criminals to perform lengthy terms of public service as conditions of their probation.

But how many A-listers are actually picking up trash along the highway? There was Kiefer Sutherland, who traded in the red carpet for an orange safety vest in 1993 when a reckless driving conviction bought him a few days cleaning roadsides, but many celebrities have convinced judges to let them fulfill their obligation in more creative ways.

Tommy Lee, 450 hours

Rocker Tommy Lee, for example, got a judge's permission this fall to polish off the last half of a 450-hour sentence by performing concerts for U.S. troops. The former Motley Crue member, who assaulted his then-wife Pamela Anderson and a photographer, worked off the rest of his time working for Magic Johnson's AIDS education organization and another group that plants trees.

Rebecca Gayheart, 750 hours

As part of Rebecca Gayheart's 750-hour sentence for accidentally striking and killing a 9-year-old boy with her car, the Beverly Hills 90201 actress and former Noxzema girl, made a safe driving video.

And fellow 90210 star Shannen Doherty spoke about the dangers of drunk driving at a California teen center as part of her DUI sentence last year.

Shannon Doherty, 5 days

According to the prosecutor in that case, the actress will still have to spend 5 days performing more traditional community service, like picking up roadside trash.

"Defendants can be creative in what they suggest to the judge, but ultimately it's the judge's decision," said Ken Kondo, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Probation Department, which counts a few famous faces among its 80,000 supervisees. "Some judges may take the suggestion, some may go their own way."

Kelsey Grammar, 300 hours

The prosecutor in the Ryder case is clearly concerned that the "Girl, Interrupted" star may be hoping for some special treatment in her sentence. Deputy District Attorney Ann Rundle filed papers this week urging the judge to sentence Ryder to a whopping 480 hours of community service and to ignore any suggestions by the star as to how to spend that time.

"The People strongly oppose allowing the defendant to design her own program for community service," Rundle wrote, adding that a more "punitive" type of community service "will serve as a deterrent for the defendant and demonstrate to her that criminal conduct results in serious consequences for the offender."

Ryder may do well to learn from the community service experience of Zsa Zsa Gabor. Gabor was sentenced to 120 hours for slapping a Beverly Hills policeman who stopped her Rolls Royce in 1989. The judge ordered her to work at a shelter for poor senior citizens. After 50 hours at the shelter, Gabor decided that serving soup to the elderly wasn't for her. She relocated her community service to the living room of her mansion, where she told the judge, she was spending countless hours planning an elaborate fundraiser for the shelter.

The judge accused her of trying to "buy" her way out of community service and slapped her with 60 additional hours.
