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.

      Netscape Celebrity  |  Dec 31, 06

      What was the biggest celebrity trend of 2006? Behaving badly, it would seem - with some new twists. Sure, last year we had Ashlee Simpson caught on video whilst carrying on at a McDonald's, and before that we had Paris Hilton's sex video. Nevertheless, 2006 will have to go down as the year when YouTube and TMZ video of famous folk Captured in Wanton Moments became pervasive.
