Hollywood is famous for its movies and glamour and equally infamous for its many, many shocking scandals. Counting down all the Hollywood scandals is almost a leviathan task however here are some of my picks.

1. It would be a sin not to begin with Michael Jackson whose whole life has been nothing short of a scandal. The King of Pop, a well deserved title, and Hollywood’s very own Peter Pan has been no stranger to controversy. From a peculiar affinity to sharing his bed with minors to disfiguring surgeries, from an abusive childhood to his recent tragic demise, the moonwalking superstar has been erased literally and figuratively. In 1993 he faced charges of child molestation which was settled out of court for a whopping $15 million and landed up in court once again in 2005 for the same charges. The recent death of Jackson caused even more controversy as the superstar’s addiction to prescription drugs was exposed. His physician Dr. Conrad Murray has been held responsible for his death and charges of involuntary manslaughter are to be brought up against him.
2. Roman Polanski, the critically acclaimed and Oscar winning director, is no stranger to scandal. His pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family in 1969. In 1977, the then 44 yr old Polanski took a 13 yr old girl to Jack Nicholson’s house for a photo shoot. He plies the girl with Champagne and part of Quaalude before engaging in non-consensual sex.  Two weeks later, Polanski found himself in front of the grand jury. Upon hearing he could face jail time of 50 years, Polanski bolted for France. Of course, that did not stop Hollywood from bestowing him with an Oscar award for direction for The Pianist. He was not able to receive it though since he is barred from entering the U.S.
3. Ingrid Bergman, the Oscar winning iconic actress who was considered to be a devoted mother and wife shattered her impeccable image in 1969 when news of her affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini got out. Rossellini, then married and Bergman, mother of a 10 year old daughter became pregnant with his child. What followed was intense public condemnation and religious groups calling to ban her movies. The then Senator, Edward Johnson, denounced the actress as “a powerful influence for evil” and went to the extent of asking for banning her from the country for “moral turpitude”. The couple however wed after Rossellini gave birth to their child and had twins later before separating in 1956. Rossellini did however lose custody of her daughter with her previous husband during the divorce proceedings. All was forgiven when she received the Oscar for the best actress in the movie Anastasia.

Another one of the grossest and most famous scandals is probably when Woody Allen married his ex wife, Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon Yi. Perhaps what these scandal’s say about Hollywood is that no matter what your crime is that as long as you rake in the money, people can learn how to forget.

Justin Timberlake’s friends are desperate for him to rekindle his romance with Jessica Biel.

Friends close to the 28-year-old singer are concerned about his crumbling relationship with Jessica and are putting pressure on him to work through their problems.

A source said, “Justin’s friends are usually all about anything he wants, but in this case, his boys are totally disappointed in him. They think he is making a big mistake. Justin and and Jessica have their problems, but all in all, his friends think she is one of the best things that ever happened to him.”

Justin has been relying on many of his friends to go to nightclubs with him when his relationship hit a rocky patch, however they have not been so keen on the idea.

The source added to FOX 411 blog, “They really thought he got past all of that. But it is all beginning all over again. They think if they don’t give in he may come to his senses and sort out his relationship. That is what they really want to see happen.”

Earlier this month, it was claimed that Justin was ‘re-evaluating’ his two-and-a-half year romance.

So far neither Justin or 27-year-old Jessica have commented on the break-up claims.

Katie Price has made claims that Peter Andre is dating his manager.

The glamour model, a.k.a Jordan, who divorce from Peter Andre will be soon finalised, made the allegation on a UK TV chat show, however Pete and his agent Claire Powell have vowed to take legal action over her comments.

Speaking on ‘The Graham Norton Show,’ Katie claimed men are ‘lazy’ and would sleep with anyone, adding, “Yes. Or his manager Claire.”

Claire, who also managed Katie before her split from Peter, is furious about the allegation.

She said, “She is just nasty. That is totally b******s. She is using him to get publicity. We will definitely take it further.”

Lawyers for the BBC programme insisted Katie’s comments were removed from the show, which airs in the UK tonight. (19.10.09)

In the candid interview, 31-year-old Katie also claims Peter, 36, refuses to speak to her on the phone without “hurling abuse.”

She also insists their three-and-a-half-year marriage was doomed, and wishes it had ended years ago.

She explained, “I was trying to keep it going and I still got all the stick and he walked out.”

Katie-who has two children with Peter-went on to speak about her new relationship with cage-fighter Alex Reid.

Alex has revealed he likes to cross dress and has an alter-ego called ‘Roxanne.’ Katie admits she has seen him dressed as a woman and has even helped him apply make-up.

She said, “The outfit changes, the make-up, hair, the lot. And I boss him about. Before Alex met me, he hadn’t dressed up for a year. And when he told me, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have got to dress you up.’

“So I dress him-the wigs, eyelashes, everything. And at first he was like, ‘This is a bit weird, I am not used to a girl doing me up.’ Call me strange, call me weird, whatever-but I love it.

“I have never been with anyone so adventurous. Anything goes with him. I am having such a fun time.”

Peter Andre has made claims that Katie Price stopped him from speaking to his children for five days.

The ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer has spoken out following recent reports that Pete got into an argument with Katie’s new boyfriend Alex Reid, claiming he only lost his cool as he was refused access to the three children he raises with the glamour model.

Explaining his anger that Alex posted details of the conversation on Facebook, Peter said, “What really annoys me is when something private happens, withing a minute, it is out there. The bottom line is, for five days I was not allowed to speak to my kids.”

Referring to Alex as ‘this man’ Peter then explained the details of the phone conversation.

He told UK daytime TV show This Morning, “Anyone close to me knows that I couldn’t speak to them and then on Tuesday night (13.10.09) I got on the phone saying, ‘I want to speak to my kids. I was handed the phone to this man who said ‘he’s the man of the house now’ and he refused to allow me to speak to my children.

“Now, I am not perfect, I am human, I am a father and I don’t know any father that would not react to some man saying ‘no, you are not speaking to them’ and I lost my temper. I admit it.”

Peter accused Alex of playing a ‘ridiculous game’ by barring him from talking to Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two year old Princess Tiaamii.

He explained, ”I am tired of it, I just want to move on in every sense of the word. The kids are my life, I don’t care about anything else but them-I have that a million times, and everyone knows the only way to push my buttons is not to let me speak to my kids or see them and that is what’s been happening.”

It had been claimed that Peter rang Katie’s mobile to speak to the children, but she asked Alex to answer the call.

As Alex began shouting at Peter, the singer replied, “Look mate, there is a lot of people who want to break your legs.”

In response Kate has spoken out about Pete’s claims insisting that Peter’s version of the events are untrue.

She wrote on her Twitter page, “People got it wrong AGAIN, peter said IM GONNA BREAK YOUR F***ING LEGS watch your back >>nice pete in front of kids!

“I called him too speak to kids being nice…his true colours are starting to come out thank god !!

“Alex is calm a real gentle guy stop believing what you read and realise that pete is not the sweet guy that he always portrays (sic).”

Katie Price left her sobbing son Junior just hours after he was handed back to her by estranged husband Peter Andre, and spent a night on the tiles instead.

Instead of staying home to look after the heart broken tot, she decided to spend  night in London town with her mum Amy.

The media circulated the glamour model as she and her mum were whisked away to a London’s plush Dorchester Hotel.

Dressed in a sparkling blue mini, the mother of three met with paparazzi boss Darryn Lyons for a chat during her evening out.

As the evening drew to a close, Jordan was seen being helped into her Range Rover, however she was able to drive herself home.

Just hours earlier four year old Junior was seen crying his eyes out saying goodbye to his dad in Brighton.

He was saying goodbye to his Dad, Peter Andre, 36 after he had spent a few days with him and his sister Princess Tiaamii who just recently turned two.

Price was quick to defend her mothering skills after reports slated the model after her week away in Ibiza, but Andre isn’t convinced.

He was so annoyed with Price that he banned her from attending their daughters Barbie themed birthday party.

He then slammed her partying, telling, “I had to call Kate and give her a piece of my mind. I told her exactly what I think of her.”

Meanwhile, Katie spent the rest of her days horse riding with controversial friend Andrew Gould, the person reported to have been a major part of the Andre-Price split.

Lindsay Lohan chased her ex girlfriend, Sam Ronson around London on Wednesday night (03.06.09)

The 22-year-old ‘Mean Girls’ actress followed her DJ ex lover-who she split from earlier this year-from club to club trying to talk about their “future together.”

She started her mission at Bloomsbury Ballroom, where Samantha and her producer brother Mark Ronson where watching Daniel Merriweather perform.

When Li-Lo popped up, Sam and Mark quickly hailed a taxi and fled to celebrity hotspot Bungalow 8 to enjoy the rest of their night.

After just 20 minutes, Sam reportedly received a phone call from desperate ex Lohan saying she was on her way over to the club to join them for a drink.

The Ronson’s clearly didn’t want to spend a second of their evening with the star and quickly rushed Samantha back to Blakes Hotel in Kensington where she was staying.

Hotel sources say that minutes later Lindsay showed up at the hotel and was finally let in to Samantha’s room at 2.30am.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mail Newspaper, “Short of a restraining order, nothing can ward her off. They spent a few hours together before Lindsay left with a melon-wedge grin. When we asked if she’d enjoyed her time with Sam, she just chuckled and said, ‘Oh yes.’

Peter Andre is furious with Katie Price for refusing to let him see the children over the weekend only to go out partying instead.

The pop singer asked Kate whether he could see the children-Harvey, seven, Junior, three and 23-month-old Princess Tiaamii on Saturday night (30.05.09) but was refused by his estranged wife.

Instead, Katie went out partying and let her nanny put the children to bed.

Katie-also known as Jordan- was spotted drinking champagne while she watched boyband, Boyzone perform live at London’s Wembley Arena on Saturday night.

It was reported that afterwards Katie – who was seen drinking alcohol at the Clothes Show Style Awards on Friday (29.05.09) – headed to a gay club to dance and drink the night away.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mail Newspaper, “When he found out that Kate was working late on Friday, he argued it would make more sense for the children to stay with him.

“But Kate refused, insisting they stick to their routine. Understandably Peter was livid when she went clubbing and drinking on Saturday, leaving the nanny with the children.

“He just wanted to give them all some quality time. Junior in particular has taken the split really badly.”

An onlooker who saw Katie, 31, at the concert on Saturday told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “She was all over the place and looked like she was flirting with a guy. She was having fun but appeared to be very drunk. Maybe it is just her way of coping.”

However, Kate’s agent has denied reports of her “wild behaviour” insisting the mum-of-three was just simply “having a good night out with friends.”

The couple have both met with their divorce lawyers and are expected to legally split within the next six weeks.

Katie is reportedly agreed to signing Pete’s divorce petition, which will cite her “unreasonable behaviour” in order to speed up proceedings.

Katie Price has ordered for all of her husband’s belongings to be removed from the family home.

The mother-of-three-who is due back into the UK today, (20.05.09) with her two children, Junior, three and 23-month old daughter Princess Tiaamii-has ordered for her staff to remove all of her husbands possessions  out of their £2.5 million home in Surrey, South England.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “Katie’s still very hurt after Pete dumped her and wants to get him back. She phoned up and was screaming down the phone at staff to get rid of all his stuff.

“They were asking what she wanted out and she was screaming, ‘Everything, everything!’ None of them wanted to do it to Pete, because he’s been kind. But Katie didn’t really leave them much choice.”

Price made the phone call while out in the Maldives where she fled after the split was announced to the press last week.

Peter also left the UK and fled to Cyprus to be comforted by close family and friends.

The source added, “Peter is in for a bit of a shock. Everything he owns has been taken from the home and put into storage.”

Peter, 36, will see all his worldly possessions placed into storage, including his designer clothes, jewelry, family photos, gym equipment and copies of his first CDs.

The couple are due to meet for the first time tomorrow to discuss the arrangements for the children they have raised together. Peter who has two children with the model, Junior and Princess Tiaamii, also wants access to Jordon’s son, Harvey, six, from a previous relationship who he has grown to love and care for as his own.

In an interview with OK! magazine, Price denies claims that her wild nights out partying led to the couple’s separation.

“Pete can’t blame this on me drinking. I hardly ever go out.” She protested.

“Over the five years of our relationship I have probably been out 20 times, which is unusual for a woman of 30.

“I’m not a party girl and I don’t drink at home so when I go out I can get drunk quickly.”

Meanwhile, Katie has insisted she will no longer cry for Peter and plans to move on with her life, nine days after the separation was announced.

The 30-year-old beauty said: “No other guy has made me cry as much as Pete. But I’m not going to shed another tear over him. I don’t want us to split up. I love my husband but I can’t sit around crying. This is a new story and new chapter in my life.”
