Celebrity Scandals

Forget The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Meet The Real Moronic Househusband of... New Jersey.

Joe Giudice, who is married to reality TV's favorite table-thrower Teresa Giudice, crashed his car early this morning and now finds himself in trouble with two different police departments.

Captain Ed Rosellini of the Montville Township Police told E! News the accident took place around 1:45 a.m. and:

"It was a motor vehicle accident, and he was taken to the hospital. Officers believed he had a drink and he was then tested for alcohol and charged accordingly."

Giudice was taken to the Morristown Memorial Hospital. After a blood sample was taken, he was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving, and failure to maintain a traffic lane.

But that's not all!

The incident tipped off the nearby Clifton Police Department, which proceeded to arrest Joe on an outstanding warrant for a number of city ordinance violations. He posted $2,625, got out of jail around 6 a.m. and headed home... to face the wrath of his four children and insane wife.

Good luck, buddy!

One Tree Hill? Try One Police Plaza!

Actor Antwon Tanner has just been sentenced to three months in prison after selling social security numbers to an undercover detective in a sting operation.

Tanner, who has uttered many cheesy One Tree Hill quotes as basketball coach Skills on the show, pleaded guilty back in August 2009 to the alleged offense.

He gave out more than a dozen social security numbers for $10,000.

NO SKILLS: What would Nathan and Haley say, Antwon?

Tanner claims he was only the "middleman," but the judge ordered him to jail beginning on April 30. Following his sentence, he will serve five months home detention.

The actor described the incident as "an embarrassment" to his family and fans. His lawyer blamed it on "stupidity." Hard to argue with either of those assessments.

Does the CW really pay that little, though? Tanner reportedly suffered financial problems in recent years and lost a $1 million house in California to foreclosure.

Always helps when you pay your California mortgage loan, A.

We hope Tila Tequila is taking a 30-second break from Tweeting and actually reading THG right now. Listen up, crazy girl:

Nicky Hilton did not kill Casey Johnson's dogs. They are alive and well, as sources tell TMZ Elvis and Zoe were "taken to a veterinarian in Los Angeles for full checkups and were then released to the [Johnson] family."

Tila Tequila, please calm down about those supposedly suffering dogs now. And put on some clothes.

A few days ago, Tila called the police when Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips came over to take the puppies away. Tequila has since Tweeted non-stop about how Casey's two friends were planning on putting the canines to sleep.

But there's now proof that the animals are alive. After the aforementioned checkup, Hilton Tweeted: "Hope this clears up all the rumors."

It does. We apologize to readers for wasting their time over this nonsense.

We know you'd prefer to read about Morgan Christie, Jon Gosselin's new girlfriend. Please go do so.

Something about The Real Housewives of Orange County is about to be as fake as the breasts on most of this show's stars:

The status of Tamra Barney as a housewife.

Barney's husband of 11 years, Simon, has filed for divorce. In court-filed papers, he charges his wife with adultery, as they read: “Petitioner contends that Respondent has been verbally abusive and has committed acts of disloyalty and infidelity.”

Radar Online reports that Tamra moved out of the couple's mansion earlier this week and into a two-bedroom apartment. The pair has three children together.

A Bravo rep says Tamra has "no comment" at this time. But she'll talk about the end of her marriage on national TV next week, naturally.

"She is going to share her story first on Bravo's Watch What Happens Show hosted by Andy Cohen, airing next Thursday at midnight."

How truly pathetic. Especially when one considers how Tamra has often been critical of co-star Gretchen Rossi for her rumored infidelity.

As for Simon, he's not waiting for a television special to speak out. He says: "I have been presented over and over as being controlling. Yes, it’s true! I admit it again. I am controlling!

"Controlling the damage and protecting my family. If you have seen my wife in the last few seasons, you know that if I was controlling I must suck at it. Being on a reality show is not my priority in life. My wife and children's happiness and well being is."

Things continue to spiral out of control for Tila Tequila.

In mourning over the death of fiancee Casey Johnson, Tila got into such a tiff with other friends of Casey that she called the police yesterday. Here's what went down:

Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips came by Tequila's house yesterday to pick up a few of Johnson's belongings, most notably her two dogs. Tila refused to hand anything over.

Once the LAPD showed up around 2 p.m. - due to a "verbal dispute," an officer on the scene said - Tila was forced to wheel out a rack of clothing and both little dogs, who had been locked in a bedroom.

Following the exchange, Tequila told the media: "They don't care about the dogs. They are putting them to sleep to bury with Casey."

Both Hilton and Phillips denied this was their plan. The former also held a memorial at her home in honor of Johnson last night. Tila wasn't on the guest list.

After this incident, and after bashing Courtenay Semel to the press, Tequila seems to be losing more than just her loved ones and her mind these days. She, unfortunately, has few friends remaining.

During its run, The Brady Bunch dealt with many family issues.

But we can't recall an episode that focused on what to do if you accuse your ex-girlfriend of wielding a knife against you and she responds by saying you're a bitter liar that's angry about a high credit card bill.

Such is the situation Barry Williams, best known for portraying Greg Brady, finds himself in. The former child star obtained a restraining order against Elizabeth Kennedy - his live-in, three-year girlfriend - last month amidst allegations that she threatened to kill herself and Williams.

Now, Kennedy is fighting back.

Documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court state that Williams' accusations are "nothing other than an attempt to embarrass and defame Ms. Kennedy, being brought in retaliation for her incurring 'excessive' charges on his credit card while they were living together."

Interest rates can be a bitch, Elizabeth. Give the guy a break!

Kennedy also asserts the restraining order was "his attempt to obtain some type of advantage in the anticipated litigation," as reports indicate she was set to sue the actor for palimony.

What about charges that Kennedy threatened Williams with a knife?

One of the most famous singers of all-time passed away.

One of the most successful actors in history referred to a police officer as "sugar tits" and hated on Jewish people.

A multi-platinum recording artist allegedly urinated on a minor during sex.

Indeed, the years 2000-2009 were filled with celebrities behaving badly and/or dying. Which scandals top our list of the decade's most memorable? We count them down below...

R. KELLY BELIEVES HE CAN (OPEN HIS) FLY
In February 2002, a grainy sex tape purported to show R. Kelly performing sex acts with an underage female companion, lowlighted by the male star urinating on his partner. The 35-year-old singer denied his involvement, but Chicago prosecutors indicted him on 21 counts of child pornography.

The case didn't go to trial until May 2008, followed by the singer's acquittal after three weeks of testimony. In the years since the video surfaced, all five of R. Kelly's albums have gone platinum.

FROM BRANISTON TO BRANGELINA
After almost five years of marriage, Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in early 2005. Tabloids ran amok with stories that the latter's affair with Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie was to blame. These days, Pitt and Jolie are a (doomed?) couple, while Aniston is the go-to source for quotes about single life.

Incredibly, magazines still profit from this love triangle and perpetuate the myth that there are still feelings between Aniston and Pitt (see below).

A MOCKERY OF MEL
Mel Gibson's life changed forever on July 28, 2006. He was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving and actually uttered the words: ''F---ing Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.'' He also allegedly referred to a female cop as ''sugar tits."

Sort of funny? We guess. Astonishing and disturbing? For sure. The actor/director eventually pleaded no contest to the DUI and apologized for his ''despicable'' behavior.

BRITNEY GOES BALD
Britney Spears hadn't exactly been stable in the days leading up to February 16, 2007. She flashed her vagina to photographers and often rambled incoherently. On that date, though, it became clear Brit needed serious help.

Continue Reading...

She's shaved her head, flashed her crotch and married her high school friend during a drunken night in Las Vegas.

But there's one Britney Spears scandal that the press has been in the dark about... until now, if you believe The National Enquirer.

The supermarket tabloid reports Spears reunited with ex-husband Kevin Federline two years ago. He allegedly knocked her up, only to deny being the father when confronted with the pregnancy, and Spears went through with an abortion as a result.

Moreover, she's still dealing with the repercussions of that decision.

During a recent meltdown, a source told the newspaper Britney cried "I killed my baby!”

The abortion leaves Spears as a downtrodden mess during the holidays, as this anonymous insider said:

“Britney fights depression every Christmas season, but this Christmas has been one of the worst for her."

Might Spears want to include this as yet another ridiculous gossip story written about her in 2009? It's possible.

Should you leave Britney some cheerful holiday messages even if the allegation is false? Yes. The troubled singer likely needs encouragement from her fans anyway.

When it comes to the recent ransacking of Jon Gosselin's apartment, Hailey Glassman would like to quote Shaggy: It wasn't me!

In response to allegations that she broke into her ex's residence and destroyed its surroundings like Jon destroyed his marriage, Glassman Tweeted on Friday:

"FYI that apartment everyone calls Jon's apartment was my apartment as well. We split rent!"

As for Hailey's future behind bars - as promised by Gosselin's attorney over the weekend - Glassman's lawyer tells a very different story:

"I think Mr. Heller went too far, saying that she's going to jail... She's not a suspect. She has not been arrested," Stephanie Ovadia told E! News. "She did nothing wrong."

Ovadia admits that security footage shows his client hauling away valuable items such as a big-screen television, but: "She only took what was hers."

No word if Jon's dignity was on that list.

Meanwhile, two (horrible) people from Jon's past spoke to E! about the events and are on Team Hailey. Take it away, Michael Lohan and Kate Major!

"Something sounds very fishy to me," said Major. "Jon should focus on getting his own life together and stop trying to ruin other peoples' lives."

Et tu, Mr. Lohan?

"I have come to know Hailey and I do know her attorney. Stephanie is one of the most integritous people I know, and I have never known Hailey to lie."

We have another update on the troubles between Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller.

A friend tells People the couple will undergo marriage counseling, while also detailing the situation from Christmas Eve.

"They were fighting at a dinner in a friend’s house and it continued until the next morning," a source said. "Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be. They both have histories of alcohol abuse and have made every effort to stop. But things got out of hand."

Rumors have swirled about what actually went down between the pair, with certain reports stating Sheen pulled a knife on Mueller; and others claiming Mueller was drunk when she dialed 911 and later recanted the charges against her husband.

The same friend says Sheen will take anger management classes and reside in Los Angeles for the near future. Mueller will remain in Aspen, Colorado.

As for their twin sons:

"The boys are fine, so precious. They knew nothing about a fight between their parents... After this unfortunate event, [Charlie and Brooke] need to be apart for awhile."
