Most Shocking Celebrity Stories of 2007

Monday, December 31st, 2007 by vdiaz

Britney goes coo coo and shaves her head after Kevin threatens to test her for drug use. Aside from attacking paparazzi outside her apartment one night I’d have to say this was probably one of her craziest moments this year.

Rosie’s short stint on The View created probably in my opinion one of the most viewed videos of a catfight on YouTube. After her fight with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, she called it quits. I guess she got tired of defending herself. But I love Rosie, especially on one of my favorite shows Nip Tuck. We’ll see what she brings next year.

Pro-wrestler Chris Benoit’s death shocked many people. Including myself. I’m not a huge fan of wrestling but what shocked me even more was the death of his son and wife. Later, authorities discovered it was a murder-suicide.

One of Grey’s Anatomy stars, Isaiah Washington, used a homophobic slur on the set one day that caused a tiff among co-stars. Washington’s big mouth prompted co-star, T.R. Knight, to publicly come out. Isaiah’s contract wasn’t renewed and is now on NBC’s Bionic Woman.

Owen Wilson, one of my favorite comedy actors, apparently attempted suicide and shocked alot of people, including his close friends and family. Authorities say he had been struggling with a drug addiction. I think he was also struggling with a broken heart. At one time he was dating the actress, Kate Hudson and next thing I knew he was in the hospital. Now he’s doing better and recovering one day at a time.

What can I say? It’s Lindsay Lohan. Former Disney cutie grew up and evidently celebrity life was too much to handle. Her dad in jail, her drug and alcohol problem, a stint in rehab. But the shocking part of it? Her 84-minute stint in jail.

I almost felt sorry for Paris Hilton that day she was ordered to go to jail. She had violated her probation and was ordered to finish her sentence. She also promised to live a more charitable life. I would hope she sticks to her promise. Her grandfather just axed her $60 million inheritence.

Anna Nicole’s death was by far a shock to me and most people. Not only had she just lost her son, Daniel, but soon after her death, the custody battle for her only child began. Her husband, Howard K. Stern, a former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead and her estranged mother, Virgie Arthur were battling the courts for custody of Dannielynn. Ultimately, a DNA test proved Birkhead to be the father and custody was granted.

Ike Turner, former husband of Tina Turner passed away Wednesday, December 12 … besides making music with Tina, he will always be portrayed as Tina’s drug-addicted, wife-abusing husband … I remember watching “What’s Love Got To Do With It” a movie based on Tina Turner’s autobiography. Ike’s character was portrayed almost too well by Laurence Fishburne. Here’s a picture of Ike and Tina circa 1960s.

Well just when things couldn’t get weirder, a lock of John Lennon’s hair is being placed on the auction block up for sale. Of course there will be other Beatles memorabilia up for sale as well but that one could fetch at least $6,200. WOW! that’s crazy! I’m a fan of the Beatles, but no where in my sane mind would I ever pay for anyone’s lock of hair .. I’m sorry not even John Lennon’s .. it’s gross .. and unless the person who buys the lock of hair is planning to use it to clone John Lennon there is no use for it … but that’s just me!
