Sometimes being in the spotlight can get to celebrities; the limelight can go to their heads. But negative media attention can also cause some people to lose it and go off the deep end making them look even worse than before. Rumors start and people get hurt.

Celebrities like Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears have all been subject to bad press – but sometimes they caused it themselves. In 2008, Britney – a gorgeous singer, dancer, and performer - shaved off all her hair and started hitting the paparazzi with an umbrella. It made her look crazy but she really wasn’t - she just got overwhelmed.

However, if she didn’t do things that made her look crazy (the umbrella incident) then maybe she wouldn’t have gotten such bad publicity for several years after. Here is a count down to the top ten celebrities who have amazing talents or great social status but need to stop getting themselves into negative spotlight.

10. Solange Knowles

Beyoncé’s younger sister, Solange Knowles, got some bad press back in May when a video went viral showing her physically assaulting Jay-Z. After the incident, the singer/actress has been seen as insane. Why did she attack him? Nobody will ever really know. All we can note is that things seem better between them…for now.

9. Robin Thicke

Robin Thicke is known for his hit song, “Blurred Lines” that went to number one on the Billboard charts. But shortly after his stint at the 2103 MTV Video Music Awards where he performed on stage with Miley Cyrus with her twerking on him, Thicke and his longtime wife, Paula Patton, separated. Recently, he’s been getting a bad rep for releasing a new album, Paula in yet another attempt to get back his girl. Was his sexy dance with Miley a reason Paula left him? Maybe not but we’re sure it didn’t help the situation.

8. The Real Housewives of…

The Real Housewives of practically any city they air on TV. These women are wives and mothers of the rich and powerful in cities all over the country. From LA to New York City, plenty of these reality TV stars have let the limelight get to their heads and have been accused of sex scandals, substance abuse and just a little bit of philanthropy. Wouldn’t we think that with this much power they would do a little bit more good than bad for themselves?

7. Kanye West

Since he first got into the music game, Kanye West has been known for his mouth, sometimes more than his music. Between calling out other rappers to humiliating Taylor Swift, West is always in the spotlight for saying something he shouldn’t have. Being known as one of the best and most influential rappers out there today, we think that Kanye needs to bite his tongue once in a while because his talent should be what makes the headlines instead.

6. Shia LaBeouf

Disney Channel lovers back in 2000 loved Even Stevens starring Shia LaBeouf. He eventually grew up as an actor with his roles in Holes, New York, I Love You, and Transformers. Within the past few years, however, LaBeouf has gotten some negative publicity with his aggressive outbreaks to photos and being known for saying some unforgettable things. We just wish Shia would cool down a bit so we can focus more on his incredible acting.

[ new page = Chris Brown ]

5. Chris Brown

In 2009, singer Chris Brown was arrested for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. Since then, it seems like the “Loyal” performer can’t stay out of negative press regarding parole, ex-girlfriends or rumors of abuse. When he became famous with his song “Run It” back in 2004, we all had high hopes for this talented singer and dancer. We still hope he’ll get his act together and try not to make a fool of himself in public anymore.

[ new page = The Royal Family ]

4. The Royal Family

Why do we have to observe fake rumors about the royal family? It looks like Prince William and Kate are living a happy life, but since before Princess Diana’s reign, we try to find flaws in them, such as cheating, and make it number one in the media headlines. Since the marriage of the Prince and Kate Middleton back in 2011, several rumors of cheating and infidelity have hit the press. They’re in the UK raising a family; they don’t deserve negative press at all.

[ new page = Justin Bieber ]

3. Justin Bieber

We wish he wasn’t on the list; however, Justin Bieber turned into the typical child star that we hate to see. This pop star is a talented musician, dancer, and songwriter who truly loves his fans, but when he made the bad decision to drive with an expired license, and race the car while having alcohol, prescription pills, and marijuana in his system, he ruined it. Since his arrest in February, Bieber has come into the spotlight with some really unfortunate negative comments.

[ new page = Kylie and Kendall Jenner ]

2. Kylie and Kendall Jenner

These two sisters don’t seem to do anything bad but we put them on the list for underage partying and acting too old for their ages. The 18 and 16 year-olds are known for being the half-sisters to Kim, Khloe and Kourtney but have successfully created their own clothing lines and became models. However, these two young beauties don’t need to fall into the traps that other young stars fall into and it seems like they could be on their way there… They’ve made headlines in the past for sneaking into a 21 and over club when they were only 16 and 17! Don’t grow up too fast, ladies!

[ new page = Miley Cyrus ]

1. Miley Cyrus

When Hannah Montana hit the Disney Channel, every young girl wanted to be her. Miley Cyrus, like every other person on the planet, grew up and wanted to rid herself of the good girl image of Hannah Montana that she was often stigmatized with. Her new album, Bangerz definitely took away the good girl look and changed it to a performer with a lot of sexual innuendos. Between the twerking in minimal clothing to the drug references, Miley’s Bangerz Tour has definitely caused some negative press – mostly from unhappy parents – when she rode on a giant hot dog above the crowd. We all know Miley Cyrus is a talented singer and songwriter… does she really need to go above and beyond with the promotional tactics?
