Celebrity scandals of the noughties

The thread about the 90s went well so how about another one for 2000-2010?

Off the top of my head:

  • Brad leaving Jen for Angelina
  • Becks cheating on Posh with Rebecca Loos (allegedly)
  • Janet Jackson's Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction
  • Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa (though I suppose not really a scandal per se)
  • Britney marrying two guys in the space of a year
  • David Blunkett and the DNA test

Any others? It seems to have been a very quiet decade for the royals - quite a change from the Diana years!

I know what you mean @Toadsinholes - it's all so much more airbrushed and curated, although I do think there are as many pointless wannabes from love island and the like.

I remember Abi Titmuss, remember her being on celebrity love island with Calum best, Lee sharpe and Jane middlemiss 😂

Russell Brand & Jonathan Ross prank calls to actor Andrew Sachs

Bellatrix and Toad, think it's because most celebrities now control their own media. We get less ragged/real images and stories. Mores the pity.

Lee Ryan of Blur's comments about elephants being more important than 9/11. Also remember a never of footballers being slapped on the wrist for being out drinking (or being rowdy during that day) Seem to remember Lampard, Terry, Cashley but could be wrong.

DeegeeDee · 06/03/2022 17:53

Ah, Google tells me the footballers were out on 12tj Sept and abusing American tourists.

Also tells me that Lampard, Keiron Dyer and Rio Ferdinand had a sex tape released when I'm Aya Napa.

Does anyone remember the rumour of Any & Dec doing a roasting and high fiving each other as they moved to the other end of the body (or was it just a rumour!)

Has no one mentioned Pammy and Tommy-Lees "stolen" sex tape yet?

Its even been made into a disney+ movie I believe!

That was the 90s not 00's 😁

Gosh yes, was a vile call and seems like it happened the other day in some respects.

Madonna snogging Christina aguilera and Britney spears at that awards do

And the camera immediately cutting away to Justin Timberlake sitting in the audience and looking extremely uncomfortable.

Timberlake has always seemed a prat.

Boris Johnson becoming London Mayor.

Wayne Rooney and the sex worker

CheeseMuffin · 18/03/2022 18:18

Ah yes, Wayne and the sex worker the Sun so charmingly called a "hooker grandma" or something similar. It made everyone think he'd shagged an OAP but I think she was only in her forties!

I agree.
Though I doubt he'll be losing any sleep over our opinion of him. 😂

Wasn't there the rumour that daughter of Katie/Tom was actually Josh Harnett's who she had split up with quite recently

It was Chris Klein and she real does bear a coincidental resemblance to him which helped fuel it.

I have never seen a kid look more like their dad than Suri and Tom so not sure I buy into that theory.
