Celebrity Fail Moments

There are some celebrities where you can't figure out why their career went down the crapper, then, there are the Celebrity Fail Moments.

Celebrity Fail #11

  • I know, Tom Cruise’s career wasn’t over, but the couch incident sure put a huge kink in the crazy armor.
  • What was he thinking?
  • Maybe it was the scientology talking, or maybe he finally cracked, but we all looked at him a little differently after this.
  • Poor Oprah loved him so much, it must have taken all she could muster not to freak out at this.
  • But then again, so did we.

Celebrity Fail #10

  • Vanilla Ice is a celebrity from a long time ago that has obviously received more than his share of bad press, but come on, really, when was this ever cool?
  • Even way back in the 80’s, just about everyone could see this fail coming from miles away.
  • Holy Jeebers, looking at it now, the poor guy never had a chance.
  • His celebrity fail seemed to have piqued with Ice, Ice, Baby.

Celebrity Fail #9

  • Most of us fondly remember the tiny actor with a huge heart, Verne Troyer, from his hilarious role as Mini Me in Austin Powers or in Willow for the older crowd.
  • I really don’t think anyone wanted to see him fail.
  • However, watching him pee in a corner on the reality show Surreal Life has a certain flair in shattering any kind of image we might have of him or any image he might ever try and make for himself.

Celebrity Fail #8

  • Michael Jackson has shown us some pretty darn bizarre behavior over the years, so it is understandably difficult to pick any one moment or even groups of moments that his celebrityness tanked.
  • He was pretty entertaining at first with all of the drama from his family.
  • As the years kept adding to his crazyness, most of us now realize it was pretty cool to see his hair catch on fire in the 80’s, but there was no way that would ever stop him. 
  • Neither did all of the creepyness and attention about the kid molestation nor his pet monkey Bubbles that he “invited” to his private amusement park, Neverland.
  • Everyone was disturbed, sickened, and in no way distracted from his pedophile history when he got married and somehow procreated.
  • Surprisingly, neither did the disgusting and extensive plastic surgery that turned him into a Gelfling from the movie “The Dark Crystal”. 
  • Somehow, the “brilliant” celebrity fail moment that finally drove people away was the baby dangle.

Celebrity Fail #7

  • Seeing this fail go down was one of the most entertaining, nauseating, and hilarious stories of it’s time. 
  • As most of us old fogeys know, Pee Wee Herman had a cutting edge kids entertainment show, Pee Wee’s Playhouse, that many adults could watch and be entertained right along with their kids. 
  • Getting caught doing things to himself in an adult theater was an unexpected shock to everyone.
  • Sometimes, there is just no way getting out of a fail.

Celebrity Fail #6

  • No one has really ever had anything bad to say about Janet Jackson, except that she was related to Michael, Tito, Jermaine, and, especially, LaToya.
  • She had been out of the limelight for a while and needed to get back into the game.
  • She seemed pretty smart in choosing the super bowl to try and revitalize her career.
  • However, the “wardrobe malfunction” pretty much had the opposite effect. 

Celebrity Fail #5

  • It is understandable that people might not think that Jessica Simpson’s career is actually over, or that this incident actually made her become a star, but who really respect anything she does after the tuna chicken fiasco.

Celebrity Fail #4

  • Many think actually hearing her talk was the end.
  • Most people might believe that the “unauthorized” sex tape was the end of Paris Hilton
  • Some might even believe hiring the fake guru was the end. 
  • But no, the shining climax and culmination of all of Paris Hilton’s celebrity fail moments was when she put out an ad to hire a new best friend.

Celebrity Fail #3

  • Britney Spears is one of those celebrities everyone gets sick and tired of hearing about and are eager for the fail to come.
  • Watching the train wreck of a life she has made for herself is an easy fail to see coming.
  • It is just a matter of waiting to see which way it will unfold.
  • Really, when it gets to the point where K-Fed is a better social role model for raising a family, there is no way you can miss that wake up call.

Celebrity Fail #2

  • Oh boy, Hulk Hogan has certainly ridden the celebrity roller coaster of popularity for way much longer than anyone could have ever expected.
  • Not even considering his other recent fails of the creepy rubbing of suntan lotion on his daughters butt, and also creepily dating a woman who looks exactly like and gets confused with his daughter, I can understand how a father might want to help a son that has gotten in trouble, but he has definitely not been helping.
  • There is a lot of debate on whether the tapes are legal, but can you really be dense enough to expect that your calls are not recorded when someone is in jail?
  • It doesn’t matter if your son nearly killed someone, put them in a coma, or not, it is generally not a brilliant idea to talk smack about a kid in a vegetative state, especially right after it happens.

Celebrity Fail #1

  • Amy Winehouse has an unbelievably incredible voice, too bad about the heroin addiction, though.
  • When you build your entire popularity, career and celebrity status around how you ain’t gonna go to rehab, you have pretty much created a Karma tractor beam guaranteeing it will happen.
  • Hey, if your career is shot down the heroin pipe anyway, you might as well punch a few fans on the way out.

Celebrity Fail Honorable Mention

  • Jennifer Lopez gets 1 billion dollars of butt insurance.
  • The official statement was that you can’t insure any one body part so, it was for her whole body, not just her butt.
  • Things have been unusually quiet in the news for J-Lo since she got the billion dollar butt insurance.
  • Her career isn’t necessarily over, but I’m just saying we haven’t heard anything about her since then…
