Celebs Misbehaving

"If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography." -P.J. O'Rourke

Forget headshots: The mugshot is the currency of choice in Hollywood these days. Not that Tinseltown holds a monopoly on bad behavior. For celebs of all stripes, from starlets to sports stars, politicians to punk rockers, the occasional DUI, drug bust, or nightclub assault seems to come with the paparazzi-laden territory.

We don't need additional laws.” More »

  There's a clear gender disparity in the obsessive media coverage of celebrity meltdowns, writes the New York Times.

Or compare Kiefer Sutherland's jail stint to Paris Hilton's. More »
