21 Celebrities Who Fell From Grace… Hard.

It's heartbreaking when some of our most beloved celebrities start going off the deep end. From racial slurs, run-ins with the law, drug charges, and scandalous affairs, here are 21 celebrities who fell from grace. HARD. 1. Bill Cosby The most heartbreaking fall from grace may just be Bill Cosby. He played the perfect sitcom dad, and was known for those Jell-O commercials. Now he’s known for being a sleezebag rapist. Childhood memories are shattered. 2. Amanda Bynes Remember when Amanda Bynes was just cute and innocent, doing her thing on The Amanda Show? No more. She’s been arrested on several occasions for drug use, DUI’s, and allegedly starting a small fire. She has since undergone treatment for her mental health. 3. Hugh Grant Known for his roles on films like Notting Hill, About a Boy, and Bridget Jones’ Diary, Hugh Grant was arrested in 1995 for engaging in oral sex with a prostitute. He at least handled his fall from grace… with grace. A few years later, he was arrested again on allegations of assault, but the charges were dropped. 4. Chris Brown Talk about a total and complete fall from grace. Recording artist Chris Brown pled guilty to felony assault of his girlfriend at the time, Rihanna. And that was just the bginning. He arrested again for assault in 2013, and has several other run-ins with the law as well. 5. Dustin Diamond Dustin Diamond used to be known for his role as Screech on Saved by the Bell. Now, we know him more for things like a sex tape he released and charges of disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. In 2015, he was sentenced to four month in prison. 6. Jodie Sweetin We all know Jodie Sweetin for one role in particular — Stephanie Tanner on Full House (and soon again, on Fuller House!). Sweetin fell from grace after Full House ended, turning to drugs and alcohol in a big way. She wrote about it in her memoir, ‘unSweetined’ in 2009, and is now sober. View Slideshow

18 STUNNING Celebrity Confessions: Who Said What?!?

We hope you're sitting down for these, people. We hope you're prepared. We hope your jaw is ready for the impact of the fall its about to take when it hits the floor. Because what follows is a list of stunning celebrities confessions that left us reeling back when they first went public… and which still leave us in shock all this time later: 1. I have HIV… Charlie Sheen confirmed this rumor via an exclusive interview with The Today Show. He finally came clean after years of being blackmailed by friends and prostitutes. 2. I took steroids… Yes you did, Lance Armstrong. Following years of adamant denials, Lance Armstrong finally revealed the truth in a 2013 interview with Oprah. 3. I smoked crack… Rob Ford made this confession after talk circulated that a videotape existed of the Toronto Mayor… well… smoking crack. His exact quote will go down in history: “Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine. Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately a year ago.” 4. Okay, I DID have sex with that woman… After denying any sort of inappropriate touching with Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton made a televised address to the nation, admitting to an “improper physical relationship” with his intern. The House of Representatives voted to impeach the president for perjury, but he was subsequently acquitted. 5. I’m gay! Of course Ellen DeGeneres is gay, right? No big deal! Try telling that to the comedian when she went public with this announcement in 1997. 6. I consider myself a woman… Caitlyn Jenner made her gender transformation official when she told Diane Sawyer in April 2015 that she views herself as a woman. View Slideshow

Gerry Hamilton, ESPN Analyst, Tweets Porn Link Instead of Scouting Report

ESPN recruiting analyst Gerry Hamilton is in hot water (emphasis on HOT!) after he directed Twitter followers to something a little off topic this week. While offering an update on ESPN’s 29th ranked football recruit in the country, Roquan Smith, Hamilton accidentally tweeted out a link to … a porn site. Hamilton’s instantly infamous Tweet, which was supposed to be about Smith’s visits to several of the big football schools courting his services, read: “#ESPN300 No. 29 Roquan Smith schedules Texas A&M OV Jan. 23. #UCLA Jan. 30. Already visited #UGA & #Michigan. #Gigem pornhub.com/view_video.php…” The college sports expert seemingly meant to link to the Montezuma, Ga., player’s highlight video, but clearly posted a link to a different video altogether. The analyst then corrected his error and posted the same tweet, only with a link to Smith highlights on ESPN’s site. But many of his followers noticed. Some were even disappointed he took down the original . Hamilton was quickly bombarded with comedic tweets like, “Can you send us that porn hub link again?” and “Are you sure that wasn’t the correct link?” Amusingly and accurately, more than a few fans noted that in order to paste the porn link, Hamilton had to have previously copied it from somewhere. In other words, he was clearly watching PornHub, and either copied that URL instead of the ESPN one, or had previously sent the PornHub link to someone else. Either way, let’s hear it for tabbed browsing! 15 Scandalous Sports Stories 1. LIAR! Lance Armstrong denied it and denied it, but he eventually came clean: yes, he cheated to win every Tour de France.

Wade Boggs: Baseball Legend Claims to Have Drank 107 Beers in One Day!

Most baseball fans have heard tales of hall of famer Wade Boggs’ legendary consumption of alcohol. The most famous story is that Boggs once downed 64 Miller Lites during a cross-country flight from Boston to Los Angeles. Let us save you some math: 64 12-ounce beers consumed over the course of a 6-hour flight should equal one profoundly sh-tfaced ballplayer. Except apparently not in this case, because the best part of the legend is that Bogg’s rose bright and early the next day and played one of the best games of his career. Better yet, he actually drank way more beer than initially reported. Here’s an interview from 2005 in which Boggs cannily denies that 64 is the correct number: Wade Boggs: Beer Drinking Legend Nice PR move, Boggsy. Most folks probably assumed that Wade meant that he consumed fewer beers than initially reported. But as actor Charlie Day revealed to Jimmy Fallon last night that, when Boggs filmed a cameo for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently, he revealed that the feat was far more impressive than anyone ever imagined. Charlie Day Talks Wade Boggs 107?!?! That’s like Wilt Chamberlain casually revealing that he actually banged more like a million women. Obviously, Boggs could be full of it, but who cares? Like hangover-free beer , the Boggs Bender of whatever year it was (He doesn’t remember.) is something we want to believe in! Watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia online for more hooch heroics and remember – don’t try this at home. 14 Scandalous Sports Stories 1. LIAR! Lance Armstrong denied it and denied it, but he eventually came clean: yes, he cheated to win every Tour de France.

Duggar Family "Does Not Approve" of Extended Family Members’ Lifestyle, Sources Say

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar do not approve of their daughter-in-law Anna Duggar’s sister Susanna Keller and her liberal lifestyle, according to reports. Essentially, Susanna Keller has been ostracized from the family, and if they do come face-to-face with her, the single mom must follow a set of rules. A friend of the 22-year-old mother of Noelle, nearly 2, says the family was upset when the little girl started dancing at a Duggar family event last summer. While the younger Duggar siblings were singing in a Texas hotel room, Noelle began to dance. “She was dancing around, it was so adorable,” the friend says. But not to the 19 Kids and Counting clan: “The Duggars started laughing nervously. It was obvious that they felt very uncomfortable with me allowing her to dance.” The Duggars deemed dancing “too sensual.” Susanna’s parents Mike and Suzette have accepted their daughter’s decision to live a modern life as a single mother, unlike the pregnant Anna Duggar . Anna, who married Josh Duggar in 2009 and is now expecting their fourth child together, adheres to the Duggars strict Christian fundamentalist values. In other words … none of this stuff: 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair. According to insiders, the sisters rarely talk, but got together over Thanksgiving weekend at their parents’ Florida home, when their personalities clashed. Apparently, Susanna made plans to go on a date with a man she knew from church as a teenager, and Anna was upset because she doesn’t approve of dating. The Duggar family dating rules , as many who watch 19 Kids and Counting online know well, basically stipulate that there is no dating. Only “courting.” Also, the man happened to be nine years older and divorced, which didn’t help matters. “Anna had a terrible time with it,” the family insider tells Radar . Anna “begged Susanna not to go, and even tried to pay her to cancel the date,” but a headstrong Susanna met up with the man despite her pleas. The most awkward part? “When she got back, Anna acted like nothing had happened,” the source recalls. “She said, ‘Oh, I didn’t even realize you were gone!’” The Duggar family, you may recall, once welcomed Susanna with open arms, but shunned her when she left home at 18 and got pregnant out of wedlock. She now balances a full-time job at a chemistry company with raising her daughter on her own. Relations with Anna and family remain dicey at best. 13 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals 1. Jessa Gets Strapped Jessa Duggar and her then-boyfriend Ben Seewald began courting controversy almost from the moment they started dating, posing for photos like this one – a picture that now seems tame considering what they’ve been stirring up more recently.

Manti Te’o to NFL Opponents: Shut Up About My Fake Girlfriend!

San Diego Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o is so sick of other NFL stars harassing him about the fake girlfriend scandal he was embroiled in the year before last. Of course, Te’o doth protest too much, begging two obvious points: Yes, Manti was catfished, but when your online “girlfriend” supposedly dies and you milk the story for publicity, well, karma will get you. The more you react, well, the more people will needle you. Manti Te’o Speaks on Girlfriend The Catfisherman Te’o admits he was harassed about the situation “a few times” last season, but hoped people would move on. Suffice it to say, they have not done so. Just last weekend, the San Francisco 49ers’ Anthony Davis broached the Manti Te’o girlfriend hoax scandal, and let’s just say it didn’t go over well. “Asked Manti Te’o about his imaginary girlfriend last night and he snapped. lol I thought that was hilarious,” Davis tweeted after the two teams played. In response, “I told him, ‘Find a new joke,'” Te’o claims. We wouldn’t hold our breath if we were him. Manti Te’o Auto-Tune Manti was the victim of a prank in which a guy claiming to be a girl “dated” him online, but he then lied to the media in an effort to cover the whole thing up. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo (above, right) eventually admitted that he punked Manti, and not for any real reason other than he could, and well, the rest is history. Te’o saw his NFL draft stock tank a bit in the wake of the subsequent character issues this raised, but has secured a roster spot in the pros with the Chargers. Clearly he wishes people would move on, but the jokes are gonna keep coming either way. Better to let your play do the talking and ignore ’em, no? 14 Scandalous Sports Stories 1. LIAR! Lance Armstrong denied it and denied it, but he eventually came clean: yes, he cheated to win every Tour de France.

Jennifer Lawrence Parties With Lisa Vanderpump! Watch the Awesome Video!

We already knew that Jennifer Lawrence loves reality TV , but the Hunger Games star took her Bravo fangirl status to new heights over the weekend when she made an unannounced visit to West Hollywood hot spot Pump. If you watch Vanderpump Rules online , then you know Pump is the latest project from full-time Bravo-lebrity and part-time restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump. According to onlookers, J-Law showed up with a group of friends and ordered a round of Pump’s signature cocktail, the Pumptini. Jennifer Lawrence and Lisa Vanderpump: Pumped Up! Somehow, no one recognized one of the Oscar-winning icon, and Jen and her posse were seated at one of the joint’s most cramped tables. It wasn’t long, however, before someone on the staff realized that Katniss freakin’ Everdeen was in the house, and Jen was quickly relocated to Lisa V’s personal table. From there, the Pumptinis continued to flow and Jen posed for pics with Lisa, her husband Todd, and her famous pooch, Gigi. Of course, Ms. Lawrence had plenty to celebrate this weekend: Mockingjay Part 1 took the top spot at the box office, and Donald Sutherland compared Jennifer to Jesus ! We’re not sure if Jen was able to turn water into sangrias, but judging by how much fun she seems to be having in the video above, we’re guessing that won’t be her last supper at Pump! 24 Hottest Jennifer Lawrence Photos 1. Hot Jennifer Lawrence Picture Wow. That’s the only word that’s really necessary when gazing upon this Jennifer Lawrence photo.

Johnny Manziel: Involved in Massive Brawl With Fans?!

Though he has yet to start in an NFL game, Johnny Manziel has gotten plenty of media attention since being drafted by the Cleveland Browns back in May. In July, Manziel was partying with Justin Bieber when police were called to the scene twice in the same evening. Just one week later, reports surfaced that Manziel was caught using cocaine while partying with several unidentified women in Las Vegas. Now Manziel finds himself at the heart of a potentially scandalous situation that could turn out to be the latest in a long line of embarrassments for the NFL. According to a police report obtained by a Cleveland blogger, the trouble began when Manziel and his entourage were waiting for an elevator in the lobby of an upscale apartment building late Friday night. 33-year-old Chris Gonos approached Manziel, stated that he’s “the biggest Browns fan ever,” and requested a hug. Gonos walked toward Manziel and was promptly punched in the face. Manziel’s entourage then attacked Gonos, punching and kicking the victim as he lay on the ground. Gonos spoke out on the incident earlier today: “My brother say what was going on and he ran, he tackled Manziel,” Gonos claims. “I guess he got the sack and the fumble…I’m talking he speared him all the way to the back wall.” “I was cornered…and Johnny Manziel and like three or four of his buddies were all coming at me. [My brother] just came to help me out and I guess Johnny sucker punched him while the security guard was holding him.” Gonos added that he believes the entire incident was captured by security cameras. The Cleveland Browns have issued a statement saying that they are “aware of the incident” and are “in the process of gathering information.” 14 Scandalous Sports Stories 1. LIAR! Lance Armstrong denied it and denied it, but he eventually came clean: yes, he cheated to win every Tour de France.

Brittney Griner, WNBA Superstar, Stabbed in China

Brittney Griner, a star for the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA, was chased around by a knife-wielding maniac and stabbed last night in China when she tried to board her team bus. Griner is playing for the Beijing Great Wall of the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association during the WNBA offseason and was departing a practice facility with two teammates when the culprit confronted the group with his weapon. The former Baylor standout was slashed on the elbow, but made it on to the bus relatively unscathed. The assailant left the scene before later returning for some reason, covered in blood. He was then apprehended by local police and taken into custody. It remains unclear what provoked the incident, though Griner is a lesbian who is engaged to fellow WNBA star Glory Johnson . Any hate crime motivation on the part of the attacker is pure speculation on our part, however. “First let me say I’m ok!!!! But last night me and 3 my teammates got chase and attack by a man with a big ass knife got a little scratch and my teammates walk away unharmed!” Griner wrote on Instagram, adding: “He chase us into our bus and had us corned yelling at us then he finally left! Ugh lets just say I’m ready to get out this city we are visiting! Life can be took at any moment! Cherish every moment! AGAIN IM OK! Thank you to everyone that has been checking on me!” 14 Scandalous Sports Stories 1. LIAR! Lance Armstrong denied it and denied it, but he eventually came clean: yes, he cheated to win every Tour de France.

April Macie: Lance Armstrong Asked Me to EAT HIS A$$!

File this under Lance Armstrong image-tarnishing news you didn’t see coming. Comedienne April Macie said, on Howard Stern’s radio show Monday, that the disgraced cyclist once asked her to perform a lewd sex act on him. What was said act, you ask? You’re not going to believe the details. Macie, a frequent guest on the Howard Stern Show , claims that Lance Armstrong once asked her to lick his butt in a hotel bathroom. Seriously. She and a friend allegedly enjoyed a night out in L.A. with Lance “5-6 years ago,” and eventually returned to his hotel room … where $h!t got weird. “I went to use the bathroom, and I went in and Lance was bent over a bathtub and she was just face deep in his a**hole. I was terrified,” she said. “Then he said [to her]: ‘Does your friend want in on a round too?’” “I was like: ‘Of taint tickling? I’m gonna take a pass’ … I think it’s hilarious that he would ask without even knowing my first name … to eat his a**hole.” “Like: ‘Do you want in on a round too? Of **hole eating? I got pretty for the evening. I didn’t know he was going to ask me to eat his asshole later on.”” Macie’s hotel bathroom horror story is just the latest in a series of public humiliations for Lance Armstrong, who is now facing a number of lawsuits. He’s also been abandoned by many friends and sponsors who supported him during his cycling career, in which he won seven Tour de France titles. He admitted using performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with Oprah this year, a long-awaited confession meant to facilitate his return to sports. Whether that works out for the colossal fraud remains to be seen. Allegations of ass-eating requests won’t exactly help his image rehab, in any case.
