Scandalous! When Stars Fall

If you’re looking for proof that celebrities live differently than the rest of us, the actors on this list are it. If we were to judge by their stories, it would seem that Hollywood is a rich  land of liquor, drugs, voluntary surgery, FBI scandals and sexual dalliance. It’s also the kind of place where private vice, once publicized, can swiftly and dramatically sink a career. Here’s our take on some Hollywood’s biggest implosions.

Mel Gibson

How does a celebrity recover when he is tape-recorded dropping bombs like the ones Mel Gibson allegedly has? The short answer? He doesn’t. After his second scandal in 4 years (in 2006, he was alleged to have disparaged Jews while getting arrested on a DUI), Mel Gibson has just been dropped by his agency, William Morris Endeavor. ABC reported studio chief Ari Emanuel as saying, ''I wouldn't make a movie with him if he were the last actor on the planet. There were five minutes when we were saying, 'Maybe we should give this guy a break,' and that's gone. No one will touch him.'' Only time will tell if Gibson can resuscitate his career by directing and producing his own pieces, but it doesn’t look like anyone in Hollywood is going to rush to his defense now.

I have enjoyed Mel's movies and own everyone one of them. I will not judge him for making mistakes as we all do. The only difference is ours aren't spread all over the internet. The man is an amazing actor and director. I don't believe the accusations. It is amazing that people in our society can make a hero of Micheal Jackson after all his multiple disturbing behavior and child molestation but condone another man for 2 mistakes which have been blow way out of proportion. What has happened to the world today...

If the accusations are true or not is not the point! Celebrities should be allowed to deal with their personal issues privately .
I could never understand why the general public has to know every little move a celebrity makes; or has to know intimate personal details of their lives.
I have been fortunate enough in my life to meet some very famous people. They just want to be treated with respect and not be hounded every where they go.
Let Gibson and his girlfriend work out things on their own!!! Would you want the media and the general public delving into your private lives???
