Interesting. I never really followed her so that's a good bit of information.

Do you make a regular habit of following famous people?

She's just one among all that I don't follow!

I see what you did there!

She disrobed to an extent sufficient enough to allow targeted children unrestricted vision of her otherwise private womanly areas.

In this case breasts and buttocks.

Sounds like it could be a good name for an English Pub.

List of celebs who went off the deep end?
Macaulay Culkin
Miley Cyrus
Lindsey Lohan
Olsen Twins
RDjr.

Hmmm, I was expecting to know a lot more. Not sure if Robin Williams and Heath Ledger count or not, since they didn't go out because the fame caught up with them. If they do count tho...add them to my list.

I'd not include Miley Cyrus; there's simply no evidence that her antics are anything other than a planned career move, and one that has been successful. In interviews she comes across as quite clear headed and plainly spoken.

On the other hand look at Britney Spears circa 2007.

Arent the olsen twins owners of a multi-million dollar company?
And I would include Miley for the fact that he career move is driven by alot of what the mouse denied her. she is clearly going through a long denied rebellious phase.

But did she do anything shocking? Or is just showing your tits to someone already a crime in the US?

Yes it is

Nah, Miley is just getting mileage out of the media. To break and not be another Hilary Duff or even more unremembered Disney kid she needed to distance herself. She's doing an excellent job of it while still putting out music that tops charts generally.

Miley is far, far, far from the deep end. Remember, she's the daughter of a man who turned a mullet and one song into a career. Deep end also implies law breaking or rehab. Show me where Miley has been involved with any of it.

Crap, how did I forget Britney Spears? Jeez. And isn't Hayden Panettiere or w/e in a similar boat?

Not that I'm aware of.

Who could forget Charlie Sheen's "Winning" speech? lol.

Yes, in my country, exposing a nude adult body in a sexual manner to children is a crime, just as criticizing Vladimir Putin in a church is a crime in Russia. Weird how freedoms are different in different places, huh?

Nah, Hayden Panettiere has a hit TV show. Decently selling music album from said tv show. Got married and has a relatively young child (I wanna say under 2) and is now appearing in the Heroes reboot. Without a sound about her in the media. She's good

Britney Spears on the other hand basically lost it for a decade and only recently got her crazy under control.

No, it is not weird, but it certainly is interesting.

And I have to correct you, criticising Putin in a church is not a crime (nor is criticising Putin in general) in Russia. It is however a crime to show disrespect towards religion, disrupt religious services or desecrate holy places.

Hayden Panettiere didn't implode but she was on a boat. She got involved in Greenpeace or some other anti-whaling group and blocked Japanese whaling ships. She's still doing Nashville (tv series) as far as I know.

I didn't know about the boat thing.

Or live in New York...

Surely OJ Simpson is the most prominent celeb turned bad? A dubious murder exoneration and then going down for armed robbery?

People of every walk of life can be weird, violent or criminal. People only get disappointed because they play a nice character on TV and hold them to some expectation. Celebrities live strange lives, they're often pressured by constant media attention and criticism but are surrounded in money and people with a liberal attitude towards drink and drugs. It's no real surprise that some turn out to be weird/criminal or go over the edge and do crazy things.

OJ is kinda heavy for this, though.

Well spoken.

Brian Harvey was in a boyband called East 17 , who were reasonably big in the 90s.

He's done the usual -- engagement, break ups, divorce, loss of money, reality shows etc etc

Did the obligatory weird Youtube vids about conspiracy theories and "dark powers" out to get him etc etc.


In the UK however he's best "loved" for -- incredibly -- running himself over in a car that he was driving.

Because of a baked potato.

Robin WIliams got caught up with a bad cocaine habit (there's a shock).

Richard Pryor count?

Have we really got onto near the end of page 2 without anyone bringing up this guy?

Oh, Mel. I used to like your crazy antics until you went full donkey-cave.

Never go full donkey-cave.

Yea, Mel Gibson is certainly his own worst enemy. Next to his ex-wife that is.

Still, Charlie Sheen pushed the bar pretty darned high for his fellow celebs.

I was actually thinking about posting him when I got home but you beat me to it. I used to love his movies but now he's so friggin crazy that it strains on me while watching
