5 Secrets These Famous Celebrities Would Prefer You DIDN’T Know.
Beyond their recent relationships and how they look in swimwear, the one thing that most people want to know about celebrities are their secrets: What are the details of their sordid pasts? Who were they before they came the stars that we know today?
Luckily, the Internet makes it spectacularly easy to find out. Here, we've compiled 20 of the most unusual and shocking facts about some of the most unexpected celebrities and historical figures - the one about John Adams is just ridiculous.
#1. Elvis had a preoccupation with girls that were way too young for him.
"He was fascinated with the idea of real young teenage girls,' said Lamar Fike, a former member of Elvis's crew. 'It scared the hell out of all of us.'"
In fact, Elvis's future wife Priscilla was merely 14 when they met. Perhaps due to the times, their their love story was portrayed as something poetic - love across a wide age gap - rather than as something disturbing.
#2. Alice Cooper is actually a devout born again Christian.
Cooper regularly participates in missionary projects, and leads his own Bible study classes. Because of his high-profile status as a rocker, he has stayed mostly quiet about his religious beliefs.
#3. Alfred Hitchcock was afraid of eggs.
In fact, Hitchcock may have had a touch of alektorophobia, which is a fear of chickens, roosters, and eggs. In one interview, Hitchcock claimed "I’m frightened of eggs, worse than frightened; they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes and when you break it, inside there’s that yellow thing, round, without any holes… Brrr! have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid?”
#4. The Karate Kid, Ralph Macchio, was 22 when he played the role.
Somehow, The Karate Young Adult Man just didn't fly with producers.
#5. Tom Cruise was once enrolled in seminary school.
Before Tom Cruise became America's heartthrob, he had to navigate through a confusing and difficult childhood. He had an abusive father, was a troubled teen, and was completely obsessed with the Catholic Church - so much so that he attended seminary school. However, Cruise was asked to leave after he got caught stealing alcohol.

Her carefree spirit and her laughter constantly lit up every room she entered and she always had this glisten in her eyes which was evident in her faith. While we know there is no sort of feeling that can replace the joy Christina brought into our lives, we know she is glistening from up in Heaven and shining down on all of us."
Rachel Platten, who also toured with Grimmie, tweeted, "I am at a loss for words...I just keep remembering sitting at breakfast with her on tour and her beautiful brown eyes beaming at me asking advice about how she could spread the most love in the world through her music. And I just was thinking—you already do. You already are. This is unfair and tragic and the only glimpse of light I can find in this is knowing she died doing what she loved. You will be missed beautiful sweet girl—
Nick Jonas, who performed on The Voice season six finale, shared a selfie with Grimmie, saying, "#ripchristina."
Colton Haynes said, "So sad right now. My thoughts & prayers go out to Christina Grimmie's friends/family. What an incredible talent that won't be forgotten."

"We are devastated by the loss of Christina Grimmie," read a post on the company's Twitter page Saturday. "Our thoughts are with her family, friends and everyone she inspired."

Celebrity confessions: Shocking secrets the stars revealed about...
Prim and proper newsreader Fiona Bruce has admitted she likes a sneaky drink between news bulletins.
As Fiona reveals she nips over to the local pub from the BBC to have a quick cocktail between reading the 6pm and 10pm news, here's some other celebrity confessions that might surprise you.
Daniel Radcliffe
He was the innocent child star with the magical acting ability to bring Harry Potter to life.
Daniel Radcliffe was qq when he first hit our screens and grew up alongside his boy wizard role.
Not that many of us seemed to notice he'd grown up, until three years ago when he confessed he had a drinking problem.
Baby-faced Dan left us all shocked when he said he developed a dependency on alcohol as he attempted to live a "famous person's lifestyle".
Lee Child
His Jack Reacher thrillers have sold 70 million copies and the character has been immortalised in a Tom Cruise movie.
But Lee Child says he was stoned when he penned the thrillers. Calling himself the poster boy for smoking pot last August, Lee admitted: "I've been smoking weed for 44 years, five nights a week.
"I have a guy on speed dial in New York who comes over with a huge range of marijuana. I smoke it in a pipe because I've never been any good at doing my own roll ups."
Lady Gaga
Okay, so there's not much Gaga can say that is likely to shock you, but what may surprise you is she was skint during her famous 2009 Monsters Ball world tour.
She said she was flat broke all the time after spending all her cash on making the gigs a success.
Gaga said: "I had $3 million dollars in the bank to my name and I threw it all in to make my stage, so I was bankrupt during the show."
Denise Richards
Her split with Charlie Sheen has attracted more headlines than her film roles.
But when Denise Richards wrote her memoir The Real Girl Next Door in 2011 she made sure she was in the news again after confessing to a lesbian tryst.
She told US interviewer Howard Stern in 2011 that she had a lesbian experience with another female celebrity.
She said: "I just met her through friends and work and stuff. I was curious. We were curious."
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett is meant to be one of the world's most classy sex symbols.
But anyone hoping to seduce her can ditch the fancy meals and diamonds for a drive-through movie.
For Scarlett admitted her biggest sexual thrill is sex on the back seat of a car.
She said:" I love it. If I were in a really raunchy frame of mind, wanting something crazy and kinky, the back seat would be it."
Keith Richards
There's not much the ageing rocker hasn't admitted to shoving up his nose.
But he bizarrely said he snorted his DAD.
Keith said: "I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared."
Rolling stones gather no moss and all that..
Megan Fox
Transformers babe Megan is a global pin-up but her toilet habits leave a lot to be desired.
She admitted she sometimes forgets to flush the loo, even in other people's houses.
She said: "I'm horrible to live with. I don't clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off.
"I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me 'Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn't flush"
Euwgh
Cher and Tom Cruise
Sometimes Hollywood real life is more bizarre than the movies.
That was certainly the case when Cher admitted she and Tom Cruise were an item in the 80s. She was 39 and he was 23.
She finally confessed their relationship in 2008, then told and American TV interviewer last year that the Top Gun actor was in the "top five" of her best lovers.
She said: "It was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute."
Definitely a case of too much information.
Martha Stewart
While Britain's domestic Goddess Nigella confessed to taking drugs, America's Martha Stewart shocked the nation with a much weirder admission.
The 71-year-old last year revealed she has turned to Internet dating, had a one night stand, engaged in sexting and said she "maybe" even once had a threesome.
Not quite as surprising as Nigella's confession, but goody two shoes sending saucy texts? Just as criminal.
Jessica Simpson
Dukes of Hazzard star and singer Jessica Simpson is simply gorgeous with her blonde tumbling locks, ample cleavage and pearly white teeth.
But the singer says she never brushes her nashers properly because she doesn't like them to feel "too slippery".
She said: "I don't brush my teeth. No really! I just use Listerine - and sometimes I'll use my sweater."
Get a grip love, and a new toothbrush.
Robert Pattinson
He's rumoured to be dating Katy Perry and is Kirsten Stewart's ex-squeeze, so what is it about Twilight star Robert Pattinson that all the girls love?
There's one thing for certain. It's not his hair.
Robert, who played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter, hardly ever washes his barnet.
He said: "I don't really see the point. If you don't care if your hair's clean or not, then why would you wash it."
So not cool.
Brad Pitt
Oh Brad. There you were, the most gorgeous, loveable male beast to ever walk the planet... until said you washed your arm pits with baby wipes.
Brad apparently made the shock confession to Inglorious Basterds co-star Eli Roth.
Eli said: "Brad shared that when you're sweating and don't have time to take a shower, you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits."
And finally, the celeb admission you are least likely to care about...
Miley Cyrus
In a bid to prove she's a proper grown-up, Miley took to the stage twerking and sticking her tongue out.
While we all thought it was meant to be some sort of sexual gesture, Miley claimed it was because she doesn't like having her picture taken.
She claimed: "I'm so embarrassed because people are taking pictures of me and I don't know how to smile... so I stick my tongue out, because I don't know what else to do."
Oh Miley, just get back to being Hannah Montana will you?
18 Celebrities Who Went Crazy Over Their Fame
Fame and fortune are just two things most of us secretly crave for. However, admiring our celebrity crushes, we often tend to forget that they are as human as we are. Constantly being followed around by paparazzi, legally bound by thousands of content contracts and receiving more money that they can actually handle, most celebs tend to go crazy from time to time. And while some just do a funny dance on the Ellen show and others take crazy selfies on rooftops, other stars just go totally out of their minds over their fame. Making us question why they would act like that and making fan speculation run wild, here are 18 celebrities that have gone totally out of their minds over their fame and fortune.
Charlie Sheen
Okay, this one is probably pretty obvious and a bit of a low hanging fruit, when it comes to celebs gone crazy over their fame. The infamous mister Sheen was quite familiar with the spotlights of fame, when he suffered his mental breakdown. Having been over 30 years in the acting business, the former star of Two and a Half Men“snapped” and begun acting quite inappropriately to his former crew, reaching a point where he was entirely removed from the TV show. This resulted in numerous reports of his crazy drug-filled lifestyle and ultimately cast a shadow over his acting career. Currently, Charlie Sheen only has low-priority roles, most notable of which – in the TV Series Anger Management.
Demi Lovato
There are a number of Disney child stars, turned prodigies, who went crazy over their fame as they’ve matured under the spotlight, most of them featured on this list. However, what most people don’t know is that the seemingly innocent Demi Lovato had a mental break down of her own. While on tour with The Jonas Brothers, the actress suffered from a nervous break down. Quitting the tour, she checked herself into a treatment facility in the fall of 2010, later stating that her manager and parents pulled her aside for intervention before things got out of hand. Leaving the treatment facility in January 2011, Demi Lovato became mentally stable and healthy enough to partner with The Jed Foundation in order to help out teens, who have deal with any mental problems they may face.
Marilyn Monroe
While our younger audience may not be that closely familiar with the infamous sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, those of age know her not only for her sex-appeal, but also her constant mental breakdowns. The Hollywood actress was admitted to a hospital for paranoid schizophrenia when she was eight years old. Once famous, the actress had numerous nervous breakdowns, most notably on the set of The Misfits in 1960. Furthermore, the actress stated multiple times that she was hearing voices and even went on medication. Her meltdowns continued in the following years, getting worse, until Monroe was found dead in her home in Brentwood, California in the summer of 1962.
Amanda Bynes
Famous as a kid, a teen and an adult, Amanda Bynes has also had numerous breakdowns in the different stages of her life. The actress, most famous for her work in She’s The Man and What I Like About You, has not starred in a movie or TV series since 2010. However, that did not stop her from making headlines, as her crazy psycho-induced moments are worthy of a top list of their own. Driving under influence and tweeting to the President about it, getting kicked out of the gym halfway through a spin class is just everyday life for her. However, with Amanda Bynes the party never stops. She was kicked out of her management team, she started walking around New York with a blanket on top of her head, she had an eating disorder and ruined her looks with plastic surgery and she publicly bashed Rihanna.
Britney Spears
Okay, the story of a famous teen gone crazy under the spotlight of fame is quite the trend in LA. However, let’s talk about a far more familiar case – the mental breakdown of Britney Spears. Once a cute little teen with a school uniform singing a pop song stuck in the heads of many, Britney suddenly went crazy, shaved her head and started acting completely insane. Her erratic behavior resulted in constant media coverage and most thought her career to be dead. However, the singer did manage to pull her mind together and got back on the pop scene with hits, such as Womanizer and I Wanna Go.
Stephen Fry
Comedy enthusiasts and lovers of British humor are probably well familiar with the work of the infamous comic Stephen Fry. While he often has Twitter meltdowns, deciding to quit the social network over and over again, they are far less worrisome than his suicide attempt back in 2012. Having bipolar disorder, the actor had been struggling with his mental health issues far before actually trying to take his own life. Taking a huge number of pills, he was found in an “unconscious state” by his producer, which ultimately saved his life. While his mental problems are the first thing that come to mind with regard to the reasoning behind the attempt, the actor has had multiple meltdowns over the years, because of his fame. He even fled his country, trying to escape the constant pressure the press put on him. Well, juggling fame and a mental disorder does not seem to be a good combo, but at least he’s continuing to make audiences laugh.
Dave Chappelle
From one comic to another! Dave Chappelle was quite a normal guy, before his stand up routines took off sending him into the comedy hall of fame in almost an instant. However, just after signing a huge contract, securing a large amount of money, he went to do his stand up routine in Hartford Connecticut. However, in the middle of the show he just walked off the stage, took a flight to Africa and was never to be seen for a couple of weeks. His career did continue after the fact, but his explanation for what happened sparked numerous speculation for the involvement of secret groups, including the Illuminati. Chappelle stated that after a man reaches a certain amount of money in LA, he has to answer to certain people, and the pressure just got to him, as he fled to Africa. Weird, right? Illuminati? Who knows?!
Christian Bale
Fan favorite Christian Bale, playing the Dark Knight in the infamous movie trilogy, also had some mental issues during his career. A few years back, in July 2008, the actor decided to put people in their place by releasing his anger onto them. In particular, Bale started yelling at Shane Hurlbut, his crew member, on the set of Terminator Salvation. Acting like “a punk“, the actor clearly thought his fame made him special in some way, at least while anger was taking over him. Of course, things quickly settled down in the upcoming months and the career of Bale was not directly affected by his anger management issues.
Lindsay Lohan
Okay. Another low hanging fruit, when it comes to celebrity meltdowns – Lindsey Lohan has now became infamous for her madness. One could not simply describe the actresses multiple meltdowns in a few sentences – it just wouldn’t be enough. Starting her career at the age of 11, Lohan was praised for her acting talent and was the star of multiple movies, most notable the remake of Freaky Friday (2003). In later years, she started working as a fashion model and launched her own clothing line, after which she decided to resume her acting career, appearing in Robert Rodriguez’s movie Machete (2010).
Miley Cyrus
Okay, we simply can’t mention Lindsay Lohan, without including Miley Cyrus. One of the infamous Disney child stars that turned crazy mad, Miley followed on the footsteps of stars before her, including Lindsay Lohan. The once cute and lovable child, Miley grew into a rebellious teenager, only to cut her hair short and twerk on the stage of the MTV VMA 2013 scantily clad. After that she had a number of other crazy moments, including crying on the stage and fighting with paparazzi, but as her latest music videos revealed, she’s definitely not the same innocent girl she was before becoming famous.
Kanye West
Kanye has recently hit headlines as his egoism went far enough as to enrage the hacktivist group Anonymous, making him their primary target for the time being. While his lifestyle choices are constantly questioned, one particular act will always haunt his name – his erratic behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. While Taylor Swift was accepting her speech, the rapper stormed the stage, grabbing the mic out of her hands and making her moment his own. It’s safe to say fame got to him and he believes every moment should be his.
Martin Lawrence
Back in May 1996, the star of Bad Boys Martin Lawrence had a complete nervous breakdown. Reportedly going crazy over the control media had over him, he started walking the streets of Los Angeles, waving a loaded gun and shouting “Fight the power!” at the passing cars. He even went on the middle of the street, continuing to shout his chants. According to official reports, his meltdown was drug-induced.
Russell Crowe
Okay, here’s a doozie! Russell Crowe seems like your average Hollywood celebrity, right? Yes, he believes he can sing, while audiences who have seen Les Miserables do not agree with him. However, his meltdown dates as far back as June 2005. Trying to call his wife in Australia, while in a New York hotel room, unable to do so, the actor went down to the reception and whacked the hotel telephone into the head of a hotel employee. Who was he to tell Russell Crowe the problem was with the telecommunication companies. Of course, everything got quickly resolved, as the employee suffered only a minor injury and Crowe continued to shine with unforgettable performances in multiple titles.
Michael Jackson
The late Michael Jackson had a number of controversies stuck to his name. While his infamous plastic surgery to change the color of his skin, induced by his fame, left him stuck with the nickname Wacko Jacko, another one of his crazy acts stays alive after his death. Back in November 2002, the pop icon decided to show off his nine-month-old son to the public for all to see. How, you ask? Well, the best way a star knows how – by waving him over a Berlin balcony. Holding his baby with one hand and the metal railing of the balcony of the other, MJ was happy to hear the screams of the fans. However, what he did not realize was that these screams were mostly out of terror – as everyone was worried will the hanging-by-a-thread baby fall or not.
Justin Bieber
Too much Disney child stars on the list? Probably, but apparently hormones get into the head of famous teenagers as well. Hated by some and loved by others, Bieber went from being a lovable tween to a total hormone crazy arrogant teen. With jerk-like behavior, the pop star was arrested for dangerous driving and assault as well as driving under the influence. However, believing fame and fortune controls it all, Bieber did not stop acting like the most arrogant man that ever lived, by urinating on public places and insulting a hooker. Now, that’s fame-induced arrogance that can only be described with one word – Bieber!
Bill O’Reilly
Everyone knows that news anchors are quite arrogant on the inside, as depicted in multiple comedies, most notably – The Anchorman. Bill O’Reilly, a now infamous Fox New commentator was quite impulsive in his early days of television fame. While being the anchor at Inside Edition, Bill O’Reilly went totally crazy and started shouting at his crew for a poorly written teleprompter. Becoming a viral YouTube video and a meme in the process, the clip of O’Reilly goes to show that even a little fame goes a long way into craziness and arrogance.
Robert Downey Jr.
Have you watched Iron Man? Of course you have! Well, while today Robert Downey Jr. is quite mentally stable and doing for man kind both on and off the screen, back in his early days of fame he had his moments. Most notably, the actor was caught in April 1996 speeding down Sunset Boulevard. A quick jog hurts nobody, right? Well, the crazy part is that the actor was completely naked and he was throwing “imaginary rats“. Having battled drug and alcohol addiction for a couple of years at the time, the actor was also arrested for the possession of heroin, a unloaded Magnum handgun and cocaine. The actor also stated that as he was rising on the ladder of stardom he put the loaded gun multiple times in his mouth, as he liked having his finger on the trigger and tasting the gunmetal. Well, apparently fame can get into the skin of Iron Man as well.
Margot Kidder
Okay, we definitely have missed a few notable names on the list, including Mariah Carey, the couch-jumping Tom Cruise, the nervousness of the topless 17-year-old Kate Moss and the christmas-tree-jumping Kiefer Sutherland, among others. However, the 18th and last crazy star breakdown we have to feature on this list is the one of Margot Kidder. While for today’s youth Margot Kidder is nothing but a name on the list, the actress was quite famous back in the days, most notably for her role as Lois Lane in the Superman movies. The star had quite an interesting and very public breakdown. Okay, fame has little to do with her actions, but they are definitely noteworthy! As a computer virus destroyed all of her memoir writings, the emotions of Kidder were turned upside down. She went on to believe that her ex-husband was trying to kill her and thus she did the most logical thing possible – cut her hair with a razor and disguising herself as a homeless person on the street. Eventually, the star was discovered by the police and treated for manic depression, after which she had a number of acting roles and in 2007, she reported that she hadn’t had such manic depressive episodes for over eleven years! Good for her!
