Biggest Celebrity Oops

Being rich and famous does not make a celebrity immune from "oops" moments. Some celebs have become infamous for the "oops" -- their consistently outlandish behavior fuels the gossip tabloids like...well...tiger blood. Let's take a look at some of the more notable celebrity slip ups and scandals.

Janet Jackson's "Nipplegate"

Super Bowl XXXVIII: Do you remember who played? The score of the game? Possibly not, but you might remember the February 1, 2004, halftime show, which featured a now infamous performance by Janet Jackson with help from Justin Timberlake. JT and Jackson were performing his song "Rock Your Body" and toward the end, when Timberlake sang "Bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song," he ripped Jackson's clothing, exposing her right nipple (which was covered by nipple jewelry). Though the Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" was broadcast for less than one second, it sent shock waves round the globe and became known simply as "Nipplegate."http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20053226_20081623,00.html 

Mel Gibon phones it in

Mel Gibson has been the subject of intense media scrutiny since July of 2010, when tapes of a phone call he made to the mother of his child, Oksana Grigorieva, surfaced online. During the heated phone conversation, Gibson can be heard using several racial slurs and verbally abusing Grigorieva. The two continue their feud in court today, battling over child visitation and support for their young daughter.http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/07/world-exclusive-audio-mel-gibsons-explosive-racist-rant-listen-it-here 

Charlie Sheen's tiger blood

Actor Charlie Sheen made headlines in January of 2011, when he began receiving rehab treatment after be was hospitalized. Prior to his hospitalization, Sheen reportedly spent days partying with porn stars in his home and "smoking cocaine."http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/27/charlie-sheen-cocaine-bender-porn-star-party-coke-drugs-overdose-od-hospital  Sheen's issues initially led CBS to suspend production on "Two and a Half Men" and, ultimately, to shut down production of the hit show for the rest of the season.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_162-20037296-10391698.html  Sheen was seen everywhere giving interviews, spouting his mantra "Winning!"

LiLo behind bars 

Lindsay Lohan has not escaped the Biggest Celebrity Oops, either. Quite the opposite, in fact.  Lohan's "career meltdown" has been slow and nearly constant for the past several years. Her troubles began in earnest with DUI convictions in 2007. In July of 2010, a judge sentenced Lohan to three months in jail because the actress violated probation terms when she skipped out on court-ordered alcohol education classes.http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/23/lindsay-lohans-legal-woes-the-timelin 

Lohan was released less than a month later and went straight to rehab at the Betty Ford Center, where she remained until early January 2011. On February 9, 2011, Lohan was charged with felony grant theft in connection with the theft of a $2500 necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store.http://www.tmz.com/2011/02/09/lindsay-lohan-custody-judge-keith-schwartz-shawn-chapman-holly/  A judge revoked Lohan's probation for a 2007 DUI case and warned Lohan that she's "no different than anyone else" and not to "push her luck." Lohan pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, she could be going to prison for up to three years.http://www.tmz.com/2011/02/09/lindsay-lohan-custody-judge-keith-schwartz-shawn-chapman-holly/ (Lohan charged Feb 9) http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41494124/ns/today-entertainment/ 

Britney's shaved head game

Britney Spears was the subject of a major Celebrity Oops moment in February of 2007. After months of "controversial behavior," a "visibly distressed" Spears walked into a California salon and shaved all of her hair off.http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20053226_20081646,00.html  In recent months, pop star appears to be mounting a comeback.  Spears has released a song and video for the single "Hold It Against Me," which goes on sale at the end of March 2011.

Tiger Woods strays

Famed golfer Tiger Woods was the subject of intense media attention when word got out that he had multiple affairs while married to Elin Nordegren. What began with a "National Enquirer" story about Woods' alleged affair with New York nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel quickly grew, as more alleged Woods mistresses came forward.http://www.nationalenquirer.com/tiger_woods_cheating_rachel_uchitel_exposed_source/celebrity/67747  In February of 2010, Woods publicly apologized to his wife and to the public, announcing he would be undergoing more therapy before returning to golf.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8521060.stm Woods and Nordegren's divorce became official in August of 2010.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/12/01/earlyshow/leisure/celebspot/main5849586.shtml 

The power of Pee-Wee

Pee-wee Herman's sex scandal in the early 1990s stunned many Americans, earning him a "Celebrity Oops" -- or two.  Herman, aka Paul Reubens, was arrested in July 1991 and charged with exposing himself in a Sarasota, Florida, adult theater.http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20053226_20081656,00.html   After "laying low for the next decade," Reubens mounted a "comeback" in 2001 in the movie "Blow." That was short-lived, however, as Reubens was arrested again in November of 2002, after "photos of nude teens" were found in his California home.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots/celebrity/hollywood/paul-reubens  Child pornography charges against Reubens were later dropped.http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/story/pee.wee.s-child-porn-charges-dropped  In 2009, Reubens revived his Pee-wee Herman character for the stage, and in June of 2010, reports said Judd Apatowhttp://www.variety.com/article/VR1118021268  was developing "a Pee-wee Herman feature for Universal," with Reubens co-writing the script.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/08/paul-reubens-revives-peewee-herman-for-new-stage-show.html  

Tom Cruise's freak out on Oprah

In May of 2005, actor Tom Cruise made headlines after what some called a "shocking, bizarre and awkward moment" on television. During an interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Cruise proclaimed his love for new girlfriend Katie Holmes - at one point dropping to one knee in front of Oprah and exclaiming "I'm in love!" Cruise then began jumping excitedly on Winfrey's couch in glee, leaving Oprah to say "The boy is gone."http://www.popeater.com/hot-topics/tom-cruise-couch In November of 2006, more than a year after Cruise's televised meltdown, he and Katie Holmes got married.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1073518_1561075,00.html  

Christina's Super Bowl fail

Christina Aguilera's 2011 didn't start out so well, as she was involved in multiple "oopsies," the first coming during Super Bowl XLV in February. Aguilera flubbed the lines during her performance of the National Anthem. She later apologized, saying she got "lost in the moment" during the performance and "lost her place in the song."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/christina-aguilera-defends-fumbling-national-97039  A week later, Aguilera made headlines again -- after she fell while leaving the stage after a Grammy Awards performance.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/13/christina-aguilera-falls-grammys_n_822688.html   Just weeks after that, Aguilera was arrested for public intoxication in West Hollywood, California. Her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, was taken into custody for DUI. TMZ quoted unidentified sources "close to Aguilera" as saying they'd been "trying to get the singer into a rehab program for weeks."http://www.tmz.com/2010/10/14/christina-aguilera-arrested-west-hollywood-cops-misdemeanor/
