Britney Spears

Britney filled the tabloids with her scandalous behavior in 2006. Initially, many long-time fans were thrilled to hear about her decision to divorce K-Fed, but hope soon evaporated as Britney began to prance around town with her new BFF, Paris Hilton. If that weren't enough, leave it to the paparazzi to blind many with photographs of Britney without her bikinis. Perhaps the most nauseating moment of 2006.

Mel Gibson

Oh, Mel what were you thinking? Mel Gibson, drunk as a skunk in Hollywood, made a huge mistake when he let loose "the tounge ridden with racist slurs," in 2006. Fellow actors and Hollywood buds stepped up and either expressed their disdain or support for Mel after his drunken word spree. The press followed suit and writers at Associated Content shared their thoughts through Mel Gibson articles.

Nancy Grace

The Nancy Grace ordeal centered on the suicide of a woman named Melinda Duckett, the day after an interview with Grace.

The Iraq War

At the eve of the last day of 2006, the American public was left with a year filled with enough Iraq War controversy to launch a rocket, though hopefully not literally.
