Celebrity fireworks mel gibson
It’s that time of year again. To get you geared up for fireworks night, we’re naming and shaming the hot-tempered celebrities known for going off with a bang…
Lily Allen

Lily Allen
Lily Allen threw her rattle out of her pram in August 2008 when she punched a passer-by outside of club in London. The victim of Lily’s attack provoked the
Smile singer by calling her a ‘f******g a******e” as she left Ronnie Scott’s club in London. Lily cracked and launched three right hooks at the heckler. TV host pal Miquita Oliver was thankfully there to try and guide Lily to her car, while she seemed to gear up for round two, shouting, “Where’s that f*****g b***h, I’ll f*****g batter her!” Oliver managed to talk her out of it, with Lily agreeing, “Violence is bad.” Who needs anger management classes when you’ve got a pal like Miquita?

Naomi Campbell
You certainly don\'t want to get on the wrong side of Naomi Campbell - the veteran supermodel is as volatile as a vile of nitroglycerin! There\'s a long list of ex-employees who claim they were assaulted by Naomi. In 2006, she was arrested for throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper and ended up doing five days community service in New York cleaning floors for that offence. Her latest antics were in May this year, when she was arrested again for causing a kerfuffle at Heathrow when one of her bags went missing, despite the fact she been ordered to go to more anger management classes than we\'ve had hot dinners. As if the disastrous opening of T5 wasn\'t bad enough, British Airways had to deal with Ms Campbell going ballistic on them when her precious luggage wasn\'t on board. It\'s claimed that Naomi spat in the face of a police officer and during the fracas. As a result BA have banned Naomi from flying with them. Looks like Ryanair from now on, Ms Campbell.
Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole
Once upon a time, before the saga of her marriage to footballer Ashley, X Factor judge Cheryl Cole used to be Cheryl Tweedy, and she wasn\'t such an angel in those days. Back in 2003, the Girls Aloud songstress was sentenced to 120 hours community service after being found guilty of assaulting a nightclub worker. Cheryl punched the female lavatory attendant after she was refused a lollipop. Charming. The judge said in his ruling that Cheryl \"showed no remorse whatsoever\". It just goes to show Ashley isn\'t the only one who knows how to behave badly!
Björk
celebrity,bjork,celebrity tantrum
Björk
Icelandic warbler Björk lashed out violently at a seemingly innocent reporter at Bangkok Airport back in 1996. The reporter attempted to speak to her son, sending Björk into a frantic rage - later her publicist said that the journalist had been pestering her for days. The infamous attack was caught on camera for the world to witness. She managed to keep her temper under control in public for over a decade, but Björk went ballistic again in January 2008, ripping a photographer\'s T-shirt at Auckland airport. Maybe flying makes her grumpy.
Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe
\"Possibly the most shameful situation I\'ve ever gotten myself in,\" was how Russell Crowe described his 2005 arrest. The Gladiator star was up in court for throwing a telephone at a New York hotel concierge when the pair got into an argument because Crowe wasn\'t able to call his wife Danielle in Australia from the phone in his room. The star got off with a conditional release and paid $100,000 to the injured worker to stop any civil action - it would have been cheaper for Russell to call his wife in Oz from a payphone on the street!
Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant
When choosing a weapon to defend yourself from the paparazzi, you wouldn\'t think baked beans would be top of the list. But the humble bean was indeed the UK\'s favourite fop\'s weapon of choice - a tub of them to be precise. Hugh Grant flew off the handle when a photographer asked him to smile for the camera outside his home in Chelsea in April 2007. Apparently Hugh hurled the beans at the pap and kicked him several times. Not very gentlemanly behaviour, Hugh!
Alan Davies

Alan Davies
This one\'s just plain weird - seemingly mild-mannered comedian
Alan Davies biting a tramp\'s ear! Davies got in the bizarre tussle outside London\'s Groucho Club in December 2007. Apparently, the actor was offended when a tramp called him by his TV character name Jonathan Creek. The homeless man told the Daily Mirror that Alan responded by saying, ‘\'My name\'s Alan. You know my name - Alan. What\'s my name? It\'s Alan,\" and then biting down on the man\'s left ear for 13 seconds (was he counting?!) Later, Davies told the press that he\'d been at a friend\'s funeral that day and was very emotional. Oh, ok then.
Sir Elton John
Elton john,celebrity,paparazzi,celebrity tantrum
Elton John
Pop veteran Sir Elton John went off on one at Taiwan airport back in 2004, shouting at the local press that they were \"rude, vile pigs\". Apparently, the British singing legend was angry that the Taiwanese police didn\'t protect him for the hoards of journalists. He later said in a concert in the capital Taipei that he meant every word he\'d said to the press at the airport. Elton is famous for his hissy fits - at the Concert For Diana, Elton had a temper tantrum when police told him to get out of his car and walk 50 yards to his dressing room for security reasons. It seems the 63-year-old screamed, \"Get out of my ****ing way! Don\'t you know who I am? I\'ve been working all ****ing day and I need to get to my ****ing dressing room!\" at a police officer. Talk about throwing your toys out of the cot!
Jay Kay

Jay Kay
In September 2006 Jay Kay was arrested for allegedly assaulting a photographer outside a London nightclub. The Jamiroquai frontman is no stranger to scuffles with photographers - in 2002 he got into fisticuffs with a paparazzo at the Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones premiere ending up with a bloody nose, and in 2001 he was involved in another fracas with a snapper, but charges were dropped on that occasion. Seems like Jay should stay at home with a nice cup of tea and relax.
Heather Mills

Heather Mills
Where to start?! We\'re all used to Heather Mills\' rants these days, but it was her tirade about the hate campaign perpetrated against her by the tabloid press on GMTV last November that had everyone\'s eyebrows travelling to the backs of their heads. The classic Heather moment has to be the moment when she ‘baptised\' Sir Paul McCartney\'s lawyer during their divorce case. It seems the Sir Paul McCartney\'s estranged wife totally lost it when she poured a jug of water over his prim-looking barrister. \"Mrs Shackleton said something under her breath so I cleansed and baptised her,\" said Heather afterwards. Now it seems Heather\'s moving Stateside - the Americans don\'t know what they\'re in for!
Quentin Tarantino
Quentin tarantino,celebrity,celebrity tantrum
Quentin Tarantino
It seems Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino had a little bit too much caffeine in his system when he filming him outside a Starbucks at the Sundance Film Festival this year. The camera captures the festival judge asking, \"What\'s going on here?\" then he starts kicking the pap in apparent rage. The video ends with Tarantino bragging to the cameraman that if he wasn\'t filming he\'d \"be whipping your ass up and down this street\". Seems like Quentin fancies himself as a bit of a tough guy, but can\'t quite pull it off. After all, it\'s hard to do karate moves when you\'re holding a giant cup of triple-shot caramel macchiato.
Jude Law

Jude Law
Jude Law found himself in hot water after he lashed out at a female papparazo, only for the incident to be caught on camera. Doh! The actor’s open palm connected with the female photographer’s head as she tried to snap him leaving The Automat bar with pal Leonardo DiCaprio in the early hours of 23 July 2009. The 28 year-old woman said, “He hit me full on in the face, it was a really stinger, it was very sore.” Jude’s lawyer Graham Shear insisted the star accidentally hit the photographer after being “blinded by camera flashes.” Shear told Entertainmentwise, “This is all nonsense. Last night’s incident was an accident. Jude was blinded by the camera flashes when he left the restaurant, raised his hand to shield himself and inadvertently struck somebody standing very close.” Hmmm…the jury’s still out on this one.
Kiefer Sutherland

Kiefer Sutherland
Kiefer Sutherland was accused of attacking a fashion designer back in May. The star of 24 had been charged with third degree assault after he allegedly head-butted Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough in New York in May, but the case was dropped. It was claimed that Keifer went Jack Bauer on McCollough after the designer pushed actress Brooke Shields to the ground in nightclub SubMercer. Keifer later settled the incident with Jack and they released a joint statement. Keifer said, “I\'m sorry about what happened that night and sincerely regret that Mr McCollough was injured”. While Jack added, “I appreciate Mr. Sutherland\'s statement and wish him well.” For this reason Manhattan District Attourney (DA) spokeswoman Alicia Maxey Greene confirmed, “We declined to prosecute after a full investigation. And that included speaking to the complaining witness who was quite uncooperative…therefore, the DA declined to prosecute.”
It\'s like they say: Jack Bauer doesn\'t follow protocol. Protocol follows Jack Bauer.
Russell Brand
hot-tempered celebrities russell brand mel gibson
Russell Brand on the red carpet
If we were asked which celebrity most needed anger management classes it would have to be Mel Gibson. Time and time again Mel’s publicist (who must be paid a fortune) has had to excuse the hot-tempered celebrity’s behaviour. First off, while being arrested for driving under the influence Mel made anti-semetic remarks claiming, “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” and then reportedly calling a female police officer ‘sugar tits’, but Mel still managed to kind-of win back public favour. How? We’re not sure.
\r\n
Then, while promoting Edge of Darkness in February, Mel managed to call an interviewer ‘asshole’ while the cameras were still running.
\r\n
But most recently, Mel was caught on tape unleashing an incredible tirade at his former girlfriend. “I’ll put you in a f*cking rose garden you c*nt,” Mel shouted during a phone call with Oskana Grigorieva. “I was holding a child and you were hitting me,” Oskana says. “You f*cking deserved it,” Mel shouts back. And when the Russian musician suggests he “needs medication” Mel screams, “I need a woman! I don’t need medication. You need a f******g bat in the side of the head, how about that?” The couple are currently embroiled in a custody suit, over their ten-month-old daughter Lucia.
