Britney: Bewigged, bothered and bewildered

britney,bewigged,bothered,bewildered Britney Spears Britney\'s ever-increasing erratic behaviour earns her two meltdown mentions. Things literally went to the star\'s head when she walked in to an LA hair salon and shaved all her hair off. The hairdresser, who wouldn\'t do the clipping, said Britney, \'was not really emotionally there\'. The teary eyed tearaway then turned up at a tattoo parlour looking \'distraught\' and had a pair of lips tattoed on her wrist. Why did she do it? \'Because of you,\' she told reporters

Robbie goes to rehab

robbie,goes,rehab Robbie Williams Robbie Williams\' latest trip to rehab didn\'t surprise many. The former chart-topping singer allegedly didn\'t respond well to Take That\'s pop comeback - and he wasn\'t in the running for a best male or best album gong. So he chose his 33rd birthday to check in to an exclusive Arizona clinic. But his self abuse was more about caffeine than cocaine. The star\'s daily dose of toxins reportedly included 20 cans of Red Bull, 36 super-strength cups of double espresso and 60 Silk Cut cigarettes. Surprisingly he\'d been suffering from insomnia

Naomi\'s mobile madness

naomi,mobile,madness Naomi Campbell Campbell had already earned herself a reputation for being a little surly with her staff. But when she hurled her mobile at her housekeeper in 2006 she got herself arrested. The poor hired-help needed four staples to hold the resulting head wound. And it was allegedly all because Naomi thought someone had pinched her jeans. \'We believe this is a case of retaliation, because Naomi had fired her housekeeper earlier this morning. We are confident the courts will see it the same way,\' said her lawyer. The star ended up doing a week\'s community service scrubbing floors

Cruise loses control

cruise,loses,control Tom Cruise Tom Cruise\'s conquests had often raised the eyebrow of suspicion in the past. Rumours were rife that he\'d been trawling Hollywood\'s hot ladies for another mate. And when he was asked about Katie Holmes on \'Oprah\' in May 2005, he proved a little more animated than expected. Oprah looked wide-eyed and bewildered as Cruise jumped up and down on her sofa. \'I\'m in love,\' he shouted while fist-pumping the air. \'I can\'t be cool. The boy is gone.\' So was his carefully crafted image

Jackson\'s boob job

jackson,boob,job Janet Jackson It was supposed to be fun for all the family when Janet and Justin performed a duet during the half-time show at the American Super Bowl. But 140 million viewers got an eyeful when Timberlake tugged on her bustier and revealed a boob. Whether it was a \'wardrobe malfunction\' or ill-advised publicity stunt, the complaints poured in. Her people claimed the offending flesh was supposed to be covered by her bustier. But the nipple jewellery and MTV\'s prior promise of \'shocking moments\' hinted otherwise

Wacko\'s baby blues

wacko,baby,blues Michael Jackson Despite the facial tomfoolery and Neverland naughtiness, Michael\'s most mind-blowingly mad moment involved his own child. In November 2002 bystanders witnessed Wacko dangling his infant son Prince Michael II from the fourth floor balcony of his hotel room. The baby appeared to struggle. His fans fell silent. Soon everyone was questioning the star\'s sanity. Michael was suitably sorry: \'I made a terrible mistake. I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children.\'

Hugh\'s divine intervention

hugh,divine,intervention Hugh Grant Hugh Grant got a little more than he bargained for when he took a tour of the seedier side of Sunset Strip in 1995. The star was caught by a cop getting saucy in his car seat with prostitute Divine Brown. He was shamed. She sold her story to the tabloids. If Miss Brown is to be believed, the cad couldn\'t cough up enough cash for sex so had to procure a cheaper service. \'I\'ve seen bigger and I\'ve seen smaller. But his was cute,\' observed the prostitute

Britney\'s
drunken dalliance

britney,br,drunken,dalliance Britney Spears Britney revealed her bad taste in boys long before K-Fed got his claws in. After a night on the tiles in Las Vegas she married childhood friend Jason Alexander at The Little White Wedding Chapel. The bride wore a baseball cap, torn jeans and was allegedly escorted by a limo driver. She was soon taken in hand by her advisers and the 2004 marriage was annulled

Gibson\'s racist rant

gibson,racist,rant Mel Gibson Mel Gibson made himself a few enemies when he got carried away with an LA cop in 2006. After getting arrested for drunk driving, the star decided to blame the Jews for his plight and shouted: \'F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world\'. He then charmingly referred to the female deputy as \'sugar tits\'. Luckily the arresting officer had recorded every word. After a career-threatening public outcry, the star issued a swift apology: \'After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed\'

Paris\'
camcorder cameo

paris,br,camcorder,cameo Paris Hilton The itinerant \'it\' girl\'s bedroom antics were all over the internet after her former boyfriend decided to share their passion with the people. \'1 Night in Paris\' proved that even sex couldn\'t keep the party girl from her cell phone. \'I can\'t walk the streets. It\'s too embarrassing,\' said the heiress. But her coy comments were short-lived. She threatened to take her ex to the cleaners but settled out of court for a cut of the tape\'s profits (all for charity of course). Now it looks like she\'s going to have to suffer for her sins and spend a spell behind bars after getting caught driving while banned. Poor Paris. Do they do pamper parlours in prison?

Diana does a diva

diana,diva Diana Ross Diana Ross suffered premature air rage before boarding her BA Concorde flight to New York in 1999. The diva didn\'t take too kindly to being searched after setting off the metal detector at Heathrow. And after assaulting a security officer, she got herself arrested. The singer seemed to get frisking and fondling confused. \'I\'m absolutely furious,\' she told reporters. \'Do you know when they search you, they actually touch your breast? It\'s disgraceful. They wouldn\'t touch a man\'s penis, would they?\'

Crowe does a Naomi

crowe,naomi Russell Crowe Bad boy Russell Crowe has always had a problem with his temper. But things got a little out of hand in 2005 when he didn\'t get the right service at a top hotel. Unable to get hold of his wife on the phone, he asked the desk clerk to keep dialling while he took a bathroom break. Rather than just comply with the command, the deluded employee replied: \'Yeah, yeah. Whatever\'. Crowe didn\'t complain through the usual channels. He took his phone downstairs and threw it at the clerk\'s head. Crowe was sued and a settlement was reached, the details of which were not confirmed

Kate\'s cocaine calamity

kate,cocaine,calamity Kate Moss and Pete Doherty Miss Moss messed up when she was caught on camera consuming some suspicious-looking white powder. The supermodel allegedly snorted her way through five lines of cocaine in 40 minutes while hanging out at a Babyshambles recording session. The resulting media frenzy saw careless Kate dropped from million-pound modelling campaigns for H & M, Chanel and Burberry. \'I want to apologise to all of the people I have let down because of my behaviour,\' she told the press. A drug scandal would destroy most mere mortals\' careers. Moss on the other hand is still with Doherty and still at the top of her game

Ryder\'s retail relapse

ryder,retail,relapse Winona Ryder Winona Ryder proved she loved retail a little too much when she was caught shoplifting in 2001. The Saks store in Beverly Hills found more than $5000 worth of designer goods about the actress\'s person. The star had allegedly cut off sensor tags in the changing room before parading round the store with her ill-gotten garments. Unfortunately her purse also concealed an alarming cocktail of prescription drugs including diazepam, morphine sulphate and a syringe. The court later heard how Winona had wangled over 37 drugs from 20 doctors and had possibly pilfered in a number of stores

Richards is out
of his tree

richards,br,tree Keith Richards Keith Richards was literally out of his tree when he fell and conked his head in Fiji. The wrinkly rocker was taking a break from a Rolling Stones tour when he slipped while scaling a palm tree. What the 62-year-old was doing up the tree and in what state is unknown. But he was hospitalised and had to undergo brain surgery. He was swiftly given the all-clear and rejoined the Stones on stage. \'Excuse me, I fell off my perch. Sorry to disrupt everyone\'s plans. But now it\'s full steam ahead,\' he told fans. And the name of the band\'s tour? A Bigger Bang

OJ\'s car chase

oj,car,chase O J Simpson OJ Simpson was none too keen on being the number one suspect in the murder of his wife and her friend in 1994. Instead of turning himself in to the cops, the former American footballer led the police on a high-speed car chase. In true American style, the whole thing was broadcast live. And over 95 million people tuned in to take a peek. The police found a fake goatee, moustache, $8,000 and his passport in the car. But after a 37-week murder trial, OJ was acquitted

Kramer star\'s outburst

kramer,star,outburst Michael Richards The former star of \'Seinfeld\' proved far from funny when he took his turn at the mike at a comedy club. When some black members of the audience started heckling, the irrate actor screamed back: \'Fifty years ago we\'d have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass\'. His racist rant went on. The stunned audience made a rapid exit. And Richard\'s apology did little to save his shattered career

Tyson\'s ear bashing

tyson,ear,bashing Mike Tyson Mike Tyson brought terror to the ring during a boxing bout with Evander Holyfield in Las Vegas in 1997. The former heavyweight champ was doing badly and had suffered a gash from a headbutt. But the third round proved unluckier for his opponent when Tyson took a bite out of Holyfield\'s ear. Tyson was disqualified and continued the madness by punching out at police. He later blamed it all on the headbutt. Meanwhile, Holyfield had to have his ear surgically reconstructed

Stewart serves time

stewart,serves,time Martha Stewart US homemaking guru, Martha Stewart, failed to keep her own house in order when she was convicted for her role in a shares scandal in 2004. Famous for her floral arrangements, Stewart put on a brave face for the cameras when she was sentenced to five months in jail. But luckily her ego was on hand to help out. \'I could do it,\' she told reporters before her sentencing. \'I\'m a really good camper. I can sleep on the ground. There are many, many good people who have gone to prison. Look at Nelson Mandela\'

Whitney cracks up

whitney,cracks Whitney Houston Houston went from singing sensation to emaciated wreck within a decade. Rumours of drug binges with bad-boy hubby Bobby Brown filled the tabloids. And the former chart topping chanteuse started cancelling gigs and forgetting her lyrics. Fans were stunned when she appeared at Michael Jackson\'s 30th anniversary concert looking dangerously drawn. Since then things have improved for the singer. Whitney and Brown have split and she looks like storming the charts again

Lohan loses it

lohan,loses Lindsay lohan Troubled wild child Lohan checked herself in to Promises rehab center for the second time this year, after a run-in with the cops. The 20-year-old party addict was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving following an encounter with a curb and a shrub on Sunset Boulevard. The child star\'s behaviour has become increasingly erratic in recent months. Not only does she party without pants but she\'s under the allusion that serial love rat Callum Best is a bit of a catch. And now her estranged father has revealed she\'s addicted to alcohol and painkillers
