OJ is probably the worst

Pee Wee is the most ridiculous

Monica is the most overblown (ha...ha...they can't all be gold)

and for a MAJOR throwback, Ramon Navarro was the saddest.

I think one of the biggest shocks i've ever had was turning on the tv to find out that Phil Hartman's wife, Brynn had fatally shot him in bed before fatally shooting herself. While the kids were home. So shocking and soooo tragic.

Michael Jackson is a walking scandal...


So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

LOL Garland, nice.

OJ and Phil Hartman are bad. So was the whole Roman Polanski thing.

Natasha Lyonne is turning into one before our very eyes.

more than scandal--most of these situations are tragedies. scandal is a sex tape or picking up tranny hookers.

i guess a well-known susie homemaker going to prison was a scandal...though she seems to be doing JUST FINE now.

the whole Anne-Heche-going-crazy-alien-talking-to-god-in-secret-code-then-crashing-car-and-wandering-off-a-la-sybil and then marrying a man was pretty scandalous.

way to reference the great Phil Hartman, Cal...that was pretty shocking to me too--such a loss--I think he's the best actor SNL ever had.

There have been four celebrity scandals over the last 80-some years that have been way above all the rest. All of them featured death if not murder.

Fatty Arbuckle- a minor actress ended up quite dead after a wild party. He was acquitted. (About 1921?)

Libby Holman (famous Broadway and popular singer)- her younger, sexually ambivelent husband, an RJ Reynolds heir, ended up shot quite dead after a drunken argument. Suicide? Murder? Pregnant, tried and acquitted. Libby's biography is called "Dreams That Money Can Buy" and is fairly rare, out of print and worth every penny. (about 1936)

Lana Turner - mobster boyfriend stabbed to death by her 14 year old daughter after he slapped Mama Lana around once too often. Acquitted. Daughter Cheryl Crane wrote a very dishy memoir called Detour a while back. Find a used copy. There are a good amount out there.

OJ Simpson - about whom there is already too much in print.

Three of these four people's careers effectively were over (although Libby inherited all that tobacco money) after these scandals. Only Lana Turner stayed a star afterwards, thanks to Ross Hunter and a series of soap opera type pictures.

Contemporary scandals have nothing on these. Except that football player.

Rock Hudson's coming out was pretty scandalous at the time. Well, to the general public, anyway.

Johnny Stompanato was about 1958. Apparently Lana liked big, large (if you get my drift; a part of Johnny's body was called 'Oscar'; never mind exactly why) men who batted her around a bit.

Harold Robbins' super-duper trashy novel "Where Love Has Gone" was suggested by the case. One critic wrote of the 1964 film, "At least they didn't get Lana Turner for the lead role."

How about Robert Downey Jr, found in his underwear in the bed of a small boy, after wandering into a neighbors house while drugged out of his mind?

No names because there were kids involved, and they are still with us someplace.

About 20 years ago a Broadway producer stabbed his actress wife to death as she took a nap. Later in the day he jumped off the roof of their Upper West Side building. Both husband and wife were quite well known within the business, and she in particular was rather well liked.

Why no names? If they were working on Broadway, it would have made the news at the time anyway, and I'm sure lots of people would remember it.

George Michael in the john wasn't exactly a Precious Moment either...

If Danny Pintauro was a bigger celeb, the goldenboysusa might have been big news...but who am I to judge? Let, him! Let, him!
