10. Charlie Sheen

Such a talent that has reportedly self-destructed from outlandish, addictive drug, alcohol and sex parties.The highest paid TV actor got fired from his “Two and A Half Men” gig. How did it happen? The media has obsessively covered Sheen during the past few months — from his drug binging, hooking up with whores and porn stars, trashing of the Plaza hotel room, landing himself in hospital to dodging rehab to his media rants.

Ordinarily, bad publicity spurns a celebrity to withdraw from the public’s eye. But Charlie Sheen has been embracing all the public attention. He has been a fantastic target for Hollywood gossip with his bad behavior for a long time, but this year he is the poster boy for bad Hollywood behavior especially having been fired from “Two Men.” Is he still winning? We are not quite sure but ultimately we believe this is going to hurt his young kids. Sigh.

9.  Mel Gibson

After great acting as Mad Max and William Wallace (Braveheart), in which Gibson performed outstanding physical feats, his physical feats in real life are nothing but a meltdown for him. His long-time marriage to Robyn Gibson took its toll as his cheating allegations started to unfold.. He came public his then girlfriend Okana Gregorieva who was expecting their child. Rewind Mel’s drama.. few years ago before this whole enchilada, Gibson was arrested for drunken driving, in which he was cursing all the Jews of the world. He apologized  for the alleged racial epithets, think it was forgiven and forgotten… but we don’t believe Mel has apologized for the alleged beating of his ex Oksana. Oh and his ex Oksana tape recorded him over and over again making some vile comments which were pretty disgusting.

8. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay has had to pay dearly financially and emotionally since her meltdown that began in 2007. She was a brilliant child star in many of my favorite movies including Parent Trap. Lindsay has been fresh material for Hollywood gossip websites, as she walks up the steps to another court hearing. It’s been tragic to see this attractive, talented young actress dig deeper and deeper into problems. Here is a short list of just the financial costs up to her trial for jewelry theft.

• January 2007–Wonderland Rehab: $58,000
• May 2007–1st DUI Arrest: $30,000 for bail
• May 2007–Promises Rehab: $54,500
• July 2007–2nd DUI Arrest: $25,000 for bail
• October 2007–Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah: $60,000 (2 months at $30,000 a month)
• May 2010–Failure to appear in court: $100,000 for bail
• June 9, 2010–Violated probation: $200,000 for bail
• August 2010–UCLA Rehab bill: $130,000
• September 25, 2010–Violated probation; failed drug test: $300,000 for bail
• November 2010-January 2011–Betty Ford rehab bill: $150,000
• February 9, 2011–Felony Grand Theft: $20,000 for bail, $20,000 for violating parole

Aside from the financial costs; Not to say the least, it has affected LiLo’s life dramatically.

7. Demi Lovato

Lovato was on tour with the Jonas Brothers last November, and created some rich Hollywood gossip news. Demi punched a dancer in the face, while they were at a stopover at a Peru airport.  She was abruptly  flown back home from the Peru Airport and checked into rehab. Demi has recently revealed that she has a history of eating disorders and compulsively cutting herself. Sad. We hope this is all behind you Demi as we love you and wish you the best of luck.

6. Joaquin Phoenix

On February 14, 2009, Joaquin Phoenix was another gifted actor as a guest on David Letterman’s  Late Night Show. Two years prior, Phoenix was flying high in popularity and success. That night, Phoenix appeared with unkempt hair , a scraggly full beard, thick crooked sunglasses, and lethargic  behavior. It was a bizarre thing to see such an unusual picture of him like this in all the press.  When Letterman asked questions, he could only mutter one syllable answers.  The millions of viewers that night thought certainly he was melting down like his brother, River Phoenix, had done years before. River died from a cocaine overdose. As it all turned out (believe it or not) to be a hoax. He apparently did it to promote his next movie. It made great Hollywood gossip for a long time as well, but the movie, I’m Still Here flopped anyway.

5.  Jesse James

Jesse James was married to Oscar-winner, American sweetheart Sandra Bullock. Right after Bullock won the Oscar last year, one of James’ mistresses, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee decided to come forward and tell the world of their affair. And then there was woman number two, three, etc, etc, etc. Doesn’t he reminds you of Tiger Woods and his countless mistresses? Oh it also reminds me of that song “Mambo Number 5″ but don’t think he stopped at 5 though. Fast forward to today, 2011, Sandra and Jesse are no longer married; and Jesse is no longer with his stripper, Bombshell. He claims to be happier than ever with his new found love Kat Von D and he gives us TMI about how hot she is in the bedroom as compare to his ex Sandra. Honest or cheap? As for Sandra, she’s a mother of a beautiful adopted baby boy and she’s still the American sweetheart.

4. Tom Cruise

Tom became one of the biggest Hollywood gossip news when a spaced-out looking Cruise got down on his knees numerous times and repeatedly jumped up on Oprah’s couch saying that his love for Holmes was “beyond cool.” It sure looked like someone has forgotten to give him his meds. Sure we understand how much you love Katie but.. Oh you’ve got to see the video to know what we’re on about. ( Scroll down to watch Tom Cruise loses it on Oprah below)

3. David Hasselhoff

Back in 2007, a videotape, popped up all over the Internet showing the former Baywatch star looking like he was the one needing a life-saving rescue.  It was instant entertainment news. Hasselhoff was slobbering and muttering incoherently. He was inebriated, sitting in a room of his home. His oldest daughter, Sandy, videotaped this odd picture of a man who once was adored by fans worldwide, who looked like he was on skidrow. Later, Hasselhoff admitted to the press that he fell off the wagon, and has had a drinking problem for some years.  He told Ryan Seacrest that he’s had it with lawyers, but does need an exorcism in a moment of levity.  It’s a fact that maybe at the time Hasselhoff did need an exorcism.  Since then, David has appeared to be a changed man; He’s now watched by millions weekly on America’s Got Talent, and seems quite coherent, even charming. Never say Never.

2. Britney Spears

In the latest celebrity news, Britney and her music career are now back and beautiful. But the pop princess has had her share of meltdowns especially between 2006 – 2007. Britney completely shaved her head bald and the then newly-shaved Spears decided she has had it with the paps tailing her and decided to attack a paparazzo’s car with her umbrella. Oh didn’t we see some strength there, Brit. Can’t really blame her, those photogs are annoying at times but they also make the stars bigger just like us, the gossip bloggers, don’t they? On top of that, the pop princess was  constantly forgetting her panties at home. Britney eventually checked into rehab. It could have been severe postpartum depression who knows but those days are behind Britney now. She’s on top again and she’s got a great man, Jason Trawick and her two absolutely adorable boys. Come on Jason, pop the question, we like you.

1.Tiger Woods

From being the most loved sportsman, his life went into a downward spiral when his cheating allegations began to unfold.. it all started with his famous car crash on the night of Thanksgiving 2009; his then wife Elin Nordegren allegedly came to know of his affair with Rachel Uchitel. The rumor had it and not the least shocking, Elin was chasing after the famous golfing ace with one of his clubs when he drove out of their driveway. She should have gotten his driver instead bummer. Oh it didn’t stop with just Rachel if you have been living under a rock..Then came many many women. Of course Nordegren and Woods are now divorced and no figure of how much the divorce settlement actually ended up into his cheated wife’s bank account but some Hollywood rumors are suggesting somewhere between $100 – 110 million.. methinks it probably works out to be 1 million for each mistress being repaid to his ex-wife, mother of their two young kids. Looks like all the adults are happy.

Now you see even the very rich and famous have issues too.. Money isn’t everything so they say but they are wrong. Without money, you have nothing but a list of bills waiting for you to pay and your landlord coming after you. Ok enough about me being realistic. What do you think? Do you think money plays a big part in your life? Which celeb meltdown would you say is the most absurd?

More pictures of Joaquin after the snap…

Joaquin says Letterman was not in on the joke or hoax or whatever you want to call it. Last night he went on air and said he was sorry.

Actor Joaquin Phoenix returned to David Letterman’s “Late Show” on Wednesday to apologize for his wacky appearance last year that turned out to be an elaborate piece of performance art.

“You’ve interviewed many, many people and I assumed that you would know the difference between a character and a real person, so — but I apologize,” Phoenix said. “I hope I didn’t offend you in any way.”

No offense taken, Letterman replied. The chance to lob jokes at Phoenix was like batting practice, he said.

“Every one of them was a dinger,” he said.

Phoenix was clean-cut and shaven Wednesday, without the shaggy beard, unruly hair and sunglasses he wore on Feb. 11, 2009, when he told a befuddled Letterman that he was giving up acting for a rap career. Describing that appearance on Wednesday, Letterman said it was “like you slipped and hit your head in the tub.”

Now everyone can say see, I told you he was acting! Are you going to watch Phoneix’s movie?

We all knew that Casey Affleck was taping the whole thing for some sort of documentary, so it seems a little…fishy. And it was! The whole thing was an elaborate hoax.

“That was all an act… Think Andy Kaufman without shaving. That’s what he was doing. And Dave knew about it and Dave loved it because he could play along. He could do whatever he wanted with it. And he did, and it was great television. But I will take credit for the line, ‘I think I owe Farrah Fawcett an apology.’ I gave that to him during the break.”

No big surprise. Did you buy it or did you know (like us) all along that it was a big sham?

Well, the reason for all that nuttiness will soon reach fruition — Phoenix‘s documentary (fimed by Ben Affleck’s brother Casey) I’m Still Here is scheduled to be released in September.

Magnolia pictures says the movie is not a mocumentary, but rather a serious work of an artist falling in love with hip hop. Interesting. I don’t buy it. Not for a minute.

Will you see I’m Still Here?

more crazy photos below…

For all of you who don’t know, Phoenix quit acting to pursue his rap career and is chronicling his transformation in a Casey Affleck-shot documentary. Cassey is married to Joaquin’s sister. Joaquin was last seen in his now-infamous Letterman appearance – which he was booked on to promote his new flick ”Two Lovers.”

As reports by Huffington Post, Gray is none-too-pleased that his film is now known for Phoenix’s antics and said as much to The Times during an interview:

“It’s like, Letterman was trying to get the movie out there, but the only thing that’s out there now is a crazy person with a beard making a fool of himself!” says Gray, still seething today at the “circus” surrounding Phoenix…

Gray spits at the name, calling him a “clown”. “I have no idea what the hell that guy is shooting,” he says. “The whole thing is not to my taste, and I’ve let Casey know this.”

As for the reports the whole thing may be a hoax, Gray said:

“If it is shown to be a hoax, then that’s great, because Joaquin will come back to acting. And he is something special. But if it isn’t, ye know, I think he needs, well, help.”

Hey perhaps Joaquin is onto something bigger, who knows? Some say genius is linked to craziness. What gives? Joaquin looks and acts crazy to you or not?

more photos after the hop…

According to the Sun, Joaquin screamed:

We have a f***ing b**** in the audience. Nodding his head while rapping to a beat, he told the man: “I’ve got $1million in the bank. What have you got b****? The crowd chanted “beat him up, beat him up” as Joaquin got stuck in.”

Oh, wow. Joaquin’s rap career may go out the window if he keeps this up. A place has to actually trust you won’t disturb the peace to book you.

According to UsWeekly, Paul Dobransky—a relationships expert and author of The Secret Psychology of How We Fall in Love—says the actor’s socially inappropriate behavior could be a sign of schitzophernia. However, Joaquin’s rep  says it is rude and uncalled for to have someone who has never even met the actor try to diagnose him.

Whatever the case, Dobransky thinks the entire charade, whether it be a hoax or the unraveling of a human being very, very “unfunny.”

More pictures after the mumbling….

From the Chicago Tribune:

How bizarre was Phoenix? At the end of the interview, David Letterman said, “We owe an apology to Farrah Fawcett.” Because by comparison to the bearded actor, her wacky appearance a few years ago now seems relatively sane. (Verne Gay has a side-by-side comparison of Fawcett vs. Joaquin. And just for fun, Herc has video of the infamous incident with Crispin Glover, who may still rank as the all-time weirdest Letterman guest.)

Of course, Letterman being Letterman, he gave the uncooperative Phoenix no breaks, and who can blame him? If a star comes on to your show to promote his or her movie, but instead speaks incoherently and sticks a piece of chewing gum on your desk, well, that’s not going to get a favorable reception from Dave.

“What can you tell us about your days with the Unabomber?” Letterman said at one point.

I feel sorry for Joaquin for the part that seems insecure.  But why is his agent putting him on the media rounds?   His music isn’t for sale yet, so why is he promoting himself on the circuit?  Is this all a big stunt?  Something just smells fishy about it.

more photos after the disheveled transition…

Upon going through security Affleck appeared to struggle while removing his sweater, revealing his midsection and a peek-a-boo portion of his Calvin Klein underwear. As for Phoenix, dear God, WTF happened to him? I really can’t explain it – perhaps it’s the artist mentality or something , you think?

A source says:

‘He said, ‘It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it. He’s going full out. He probably has told his reps that he’s quit acting. Joaquin is very smart. This is very conscious. He has a huge degree of control.”

Ah, man. We’ve heard of narcissism but this is just ridiculous. And what’s with this Casey Affleck filming debut? Ugh Hollywood. It turns everyone into high school students all over again. They should incorporate Diddy into this—it seems like it would be right up the first black James Bond’s alley.

More pictures after the slip…

Here’s a video of the incident:

Not only does Joaquin act wasted, he looks horrible.  Look at the hair and beard?  Is this some type of experiment where he is waiting to see who steps in and saves him?  Is he headed down the path of his brother, River Phoenix?  Where are his parents???

The Superficial says:

The Oscar nominee jumped around the stage while performing/smoking for a perplexed crowd who have vowed never to take Ecstacy again. On the sidelines, brother-in-law Casey Affleck filmed the whole thing for a documentary I can only assume will be titled Joaquin Phoenix, Stay the F*** Away From My Kids.

Ouch.  I guess it is that bad.  What do you think should happen to Joaquin?  He can look gooood – the front picture is from a Vanity Fair party a few years back.

More pictures after the shiver…

Joaquin said Bye! Good to Hollywood from the red carpet a couple months back.  He returned with a long beard, straggly hair and a glazed, evil look.  Dlisted says:

I just want to give him a can of RAID and some Hazmat-approved antibacterial soap, because you know there’s baby roaches living in that beard.

Yeah, he looked that good.  So, do you think Joaquin is leaving Hollywood because he is a private person or because he can do his drug habit alone?  Unfortunately, it looks like the latter.

“I’m very professional and I don’t usually drink on the job, but that morning I had to have something,” she said.

I think that’s pretty cute!

“We Own the Night” starring Eve Mendes, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Duvell in theaters nationwide today! You know it’s good just by looking at the cast! And you guessed it, it’s a gangster film!

Eva Mendes can’t help but cringe when it comes to filming steamy sex scenes, for she once wanted to be a nun.

The sexy Latina broke down in tears while filming an on-screen romp with Joaquin Phoenix in their new movie We Own the Night, and admits that her reaction has a lot to do with the fact that she almost entered the nunnery.

“I did very much want to be a nun when I was younger. I guess there is this little Catholic girl still inside me somewhere because otherwise I would probably have had no problem with that scene,” Sun quoted her, as saying.

However, she’s determined to get a hang on her behavior, which is a bit bizarre in the industry she’s a part of.

“It’s something I just have to deal with,” she says.

And, Eva found the scene so difficult to film that she turned to booze to get through it.

“I’m very professional and I don’t usually drink on the job, but that morning I had to have something,” she said.

Eva Mendes & Joaquin Phoenix at the premiere of “We own the night” in Cannes

Asked if it helped to think it was her character and not her up there, Mendes said: “My boob is still my boob.” She paused, then added: “Wow, that sounded really stupid.”

Of working with Phoenix, who fidgeted through the press conference and at one point tried to light a cigarette, she laughed and said: “It’s kind of like working with a puppy dog or a two-year-old. When you have its attention, it?s really cute, but otherwise…”

Mendes later described Phoenix as “one of the greatest actors of my generation,” to which Phoenix rolled his eyes.

Eva Mendes is gorgeous & looks like she has stopped biting her nails! Good stuff.
