Celebrity Tantrums! : The Official Dirt Book

The scandals, cat fights, temper tantrums, and felonies of more than 100 celebrities are revealed in this chronicle of the most notorious faux pas of the rich and famous. All kinds of unflattering provocations and outrageous reactions are detailed, including what pushed Diff'rent Strokes star Gary Coleman over the edge and inspired him to slug a fan more than twice his size; how Mia Farrow found out boyfriend Woody Allen was sleeping with her adopted daughter and what she did to exact revenge; and what single sentence caused Elton John to nearly ruin his lifelong friendship with an equally famous singing star. Humorous and opinionated, this book examines cases of star-struck fits of passion that scuttled movie and music projects, destroyed relationships, and changed the course of entertainment history. Movie stars, singers, politicians, sports sensations, fashion models, and other wealthy and privileged famous faces are exposed, including Marlon Brando, Naomi Campbell, Bill Clinton, Russell Crowe, Michael Jackson, Madonna, John McEnroe, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, Dennis Rodman, Britney Spears, and dozens more.
