Celebrity Meltdowns

In most recent celebrity news, 30-Rock star, Alec Baldwin has decided to quit acting saying he has “lost interest in acting” and considers his “entire movie career a complete failure”. If you ask me, this has all the smell of breakdown and nothing beats a good ol’ celebrity meltdown to make us ordinary folks feel better about ourselves and our “ordinary” lives.  Here’s a tribute to some of Hollywood’s broken celebrities, in their less-than-shining moments…

TEAM ANGER MANAGEMENT

Alec Baldwin

Any parent who has ever been frustrated with their kid knows how aggravating and angering it can be when your child disobeys you, but Alec is less than tolerant of such behaviour and sounds like he is going to maul his daughter the next time he sees her. It seems his aim here was to verbally erode her self-esteem for the rest of her life, because he doesn’t “give a damn if she’s twelve years old, or eleven years old or that she’s a child”.

Mel Gibson

On July 28, 2006, Gibson was arrested for DUI while speeding in his vehicle with an open container of alcohol and in his drunken stupor accused Jews of causing war. Now everyone that criticized The Passion of the Christ as being anti-semitic can say “I told you so”.

Bill O’Reilly

David O. Russell

This was not the first time the I ♥ Huckabees director went ape shit on his crew. According to a 2000 Playboy interview with George Clooney, during the filming of Three Kings Russell was demeaning the crew both verbally and physically. Clooney felt this was out of line and let Russell know by saying:
“David, it’s a big day. But you can’t shove, push or humiliate people who aren’t allowed to defend themselves”

Russell then taunted Clooney by saying:

“Why don’t you just worry about your fucked-up acting?! You’re being a dick. You want to hit me? You want to hit me? Come on, pussy, hit me.”

Russell then grabbed Clooney by the throat and Clooney “went nuts,” pummeling Russell. Russell eventually apologized and filming continued, but Clooney describes the incident as “…the worst experience of my life.”

Christian Bale

STRUNG-OUT DIVAS

Anna Nicole Smith

Disturbing. Sick. Sad.

Britney Spears

Was it the after effects of a marriage and subsequent divorce from a douchebag? The responsibility of children? A change in the management who had created her image? Whatever it was that finally led Brit-Brit to frequent gas station bathrooms barefoot, shave her head, smack up the paparazzi with umbrellas and drive her car with her kids on her lap, it certainly ranks as one of the ultimate celebrity breakdowns in a long time. Not since…

Margot Kidder

Perhaps THE celebrity meltdown was that of Margot Kidder who five months after she suffered a breakdown, went missing until she was finally found disheveled, missing her dental work, dressed in dirty clothes—huddled inside the cardboard box that served as the home of a street person she knew only as Charlie.

Mariah Carey

In July 2001, it was widely reported that Carey had suffered a physical and emotional breakdown. Shortly after her TRL appearance, she checked into a hospital, and her publicist announced that Carey was taking a break from public appearances.

Lindsay Lohan

Repeated absences from various movie sets, DUI’s up the wazoo, notorious party-girl, in and out of rehab, media outlet’s say hers may be one of the biggest celebrity meltdowns since Britney Spears. In these recorded tapes of her breakdown, she is heard weeping uncontrollably during an emotional conversation with her father.

Paula Abdul

Even though I’m sure many of you have already seen her reality show (not!) it painted a different image of her disastrous interviews. This interview was one of the many for the newest season of American Idol and apparently she was sitting in a chair with a mic in her ear while being interviewed over and over by different newscasters via satellite. For years Paula has been on prescription meds for chronic pain.In several interviews given in the late 2000s, Paula claimed to have been left in debilitating pain after a 1992 car accident and a 1993 plane crash that required 15 spinal surgeries and which left her dependent on pain medication for years.

Anne Heche

After announcing the end of her headline-grabbing three-year relationship with Ellen DeGeneres, Heche was found on a farm near Fresno, California, tripping out on Ecstasy and claiming that she was “Celestia“, daughter of God, sibling of Christ, waiting for a spaceship to take her to heaven.

Whitney Houston

Though Whitney thought she could assure us that she was too rich for crack, and that “Crack is Whack“, in a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston admitted to using drugs with former husband Bobby Brown. Houston was once seen as a “good girl” in the ’80s and early ’90s, however, during the late ’90s her behavior changed and she was often hours late for interviews, photo shoots, rehearsals, canceling concerts and talk-show appearances.

A LITTLE UNEXPECTED…

Michael Richards

Michael Richards destroyed his reputation and career in one hysterical racist outburst at his stand-up show at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood in 2006. A startling breakdown, some speculate that because the former Seinfeld star- Jerry’s whack-job neighbor Kramer- didn’t have much stand-up experience he couldn’t deal with hecklers during the show and simply lost it instead, revealing a very nasty side of him. Just when you thought that maybe we had evolved at least a little from the days of racist bigotry- Richards set us back fifty years and proved how alive and well racism still is.

Tom Cruise

It’s hard to say whether Tom was always out of his tree or if it began when he became involved with Scientology through his first wife Mimi Rogers. Captain Cruise claims Scientology helped cure his dyslexia. For years he has campaigned for Scientology to be fully recognized as a religion. He has also been quoted as saying that psychiatry “is a Nazi science” to Entertainment Weekly and that there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance. He openly criticized Brook Shields for using Paxil for her postpartum depression, even though the woman was dreaming about killing her baby. It became staggeringly apparent to the whole world, during that memorable Oprah Winfrey interview where he launched himself on to her couch shouting how much he loved his new girlfriend Katie Holmes like a coke-ravaged lunatic, that he didn’t need any coke to be considered completely crazy. By simply googling Tom Cruise, you will find on the first page, a site called Tom Cruise is Nuts entirely devoted to his mania.

Winona Ryder

Sticky fingers gets caught red-handed.

ON THE BRINK

Tyra Banks

There’s only one other reason aside from being totally flipped for a woman to get this excited over Vaseline…

Hayden Panettiere

Save the wales and make her go away!
