The Examiner named their top five celebrity scandals of 2008. Coming in at #2 was Mary-Kate Olsen’s mysterious involvement in the aftermath of Heath Ledger’s death. It was scandalous because it’s still unknown why the masseuse called Mary-Kate before calling 911 and why MK didn’t think to call 911 herself.
The other scandals of 2008?
#5 Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend getting arrested for money laundering
#4 Audrina Patridge accusing Lauren Conrad of hooking up with Justin-Bobby.
#3 Miley Cyrus‘s near-nude photos in Vanity Fair
And the number 1 scandal of 2008?
#1 Britney Spear’s rocky year and trip to the hospital in early 2008
What I don’t understand is how the Audrina/Lauren conflict made it so high. It was a silly spat between a girl who takes herself way too seriously (Lauren) and a girl who is too dumb to know better (Audrina). I like these girls and I like The Hills, but this was a silly rumor started by someone who wanted to make it on tv and it worked. The fact these two couldn’t put that into perspective irks me.
As for MK being on the list, I understand it, but it’s more mysterious and not so much scandulous. All the police involved clearly stated no wrong-doing was done and that both MK and the masseuse were looking out for Heath’s best interested. Just because we are interested in the lives of celebrities doesnt mean we have the right to know everything.
What do you think of this list? What do you think was the biggest scandal of 2008?
