If you love a good scandal, this political season has been like a great movie; you never know what woman will accuse the candidate, or what WikiLeaks will reveal about her. Scandals also chase singers and bands, so we thought we’d share a few of our favorite scandals…
So this seems tame by today’s standards, but who could forget the Dixie Chicks based then President Bush in 2003? We were about to invade Iraq and Natalie of the Chicks said she and the girls were ashamed of our President. You would have thought she killed a puppy! Country radio stations dropped their music, tours didn’t sell out and albums didn’t sell. The Chicks have still not fully recovered.
Sinead O’Connor ripped up the photo of then Pope John Paul II during her Saturday Night Live performance in 1992. The live smack down was perceived as sacrilegious and sent her on a downward spiral. Ironically, Sinead is now an ordained minister.
Britney filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline years ago, but she handled it well. Well, not really. She partied hard, her madness reaching a crescendo one night, when, while being tapped she cut off all her hair down to her ½ bald head. Crazy enough, she did this in public and in front of the paparazzi!
