  • 12 Wildest Celebrity Meltdowns Ever! | Today's News: Our Take | 11/26/2007
    Think Tom Cruise was the first star to flip out on national TV? Don’t be crazy!1) Tom Cruise loses control.Declaring his love for Katie Holmes, Cruise jumped on Oprah’s couch. He pumped his fists and squatted like a scary version of The Thinker. He made weird faces. In short, he acted nuts. Then he went on Today and loonily challenged Matt Lauer’s knowledge of psychiatric history. Of course, Cruise’s 2005 publicity-grabbing antics didn’t hurt the box office for War of the Worlds (or for Holmes’ Batman Begins), so who’s crazy now?2) Michael Jackson dangles a baby.Jacko had pulled plenty of wacko stunts before, but this one seemed dangerous: holding his son (nicknamed “Blanket”) over the railing of a Berlin hotel balcony in 2002. “I got caught up in the excitement of the moment,” Jackson explained. Perhaps most shockingly, no charges were filed.3) Farrah Fawcett spaces out.The Charlie’s Angels goddess denied allegations that ... read more

    At Wednesday's World Music Awards ceremony in London, Michael Jackson delivered his first public performance since his acquittal on child-molestation charges, yet fell well short of expectations, singing but a few lines of "We Are the World."
