Four of Hollywood's Biggest Male Turkeys

Ayanna Guyhto
There are some celebrities who end up in the occasional snafu. A "tiny little DUI", a mild domestic dispute-maybe even a paparazzi rant. Then, there are others-some who seem to end up in the Celebrity News column on a regular basis (and not in a good way.) Male celebrities have a way of really getting themselves into a jam-not just once, but over and over again. Whether they're fighting crazy lawsuits or trying to stay out of jail, these Hollywood "turkeys" generate tons of eye-catching headlines. Here are four guys who give their publicists plenty of work to do.

Charlie Sheen

He's in rehab; he's out of rehab. He's cavorting around with hookers, going on crazy rants, and landing himself in the hospital. He is Charlie Sheen, ladies and gentlemen-and he is no stranger to the tabloids. The latest news finds him suing his porn pal, Capri Anderson for extortion. In between all of these shenanigans he's holding up his half of the mega hit sitcom, "Two and Half Men." We don't really know how all these scandalous wheelings and dealings will pan out. But somehow we understand that we haven't heard the last of Charlie.

Mel Gibson

Aren't you sick and tired of seeing Mel and Oksana's names plastered across headlines every day? Probably not more than Mel. The "Apocalypto" director's screaming rants have been posted on virtually every media site known to man. Lawyers, strange witnesses, creepy looking battery photos are just a small part of this ongoing saga. Bet nobody thought these kinds of issues would ever plague the star of "Mad Max" and "Lethal Weapon." But then again...

T.I.

Ok, I know what you're thinking: But T.I. is one of the good guys in hip-hop. And, indeed he is a rapper with heart. So, this is most likely the case. But the uber-popular rapper has had quite the rocky year. It was bad enough that he ended up doing some time (and enjoying house arrest) for having an illegal firearm or two...or three little machine guns and silencers. But not long after celebrating his nuptials, he lands in jail again. This time for 11 months for violating his parole with drug possession charges. Even Tip (Harris) himself is getting a little tired of getting cozy in prison cells-as is evidenced in this recent public rant. (sigh)

Bishop Eddie Long

This pastor of metro Atlanta's New Birth Missionary Baptist Church inundated every news channel with reports that he coerced four young men into sexual liaisons-sugar coating his deeds with expensive trips and baubles. With so much press coverage, one might think that Bishop Eddie Long has endured years of headline coverage. But in fact, he has spent just a few short months under constant scrutiny, often serving as the butt (bad pun intended) of online jokes. In all fairness, the mega-church pastor didn't make the situation much better. Those crazy hairpieces and muscle shirt photos were simply icing on the cake.
