Stars Who Are Always Surrounded By Controversy

Lindsay Lohan just entered her 30s, yet she's been tied up in more controversies than stars twice her age. Between arrests and stints in rehab, there was a point in the actress' career where publications were allegedly pre-writing her obituary. As Lohan now tries to steer her career from teenage sensation to serious adult actor, her controversies are dragging her down.

Though she hasn't made a successful feature-length movie in years, in 2015, Lohan provided some indications that her wild days are finally a thing of the past. For one thing, she's happily dating Russian business heir Egor Tarabasov, to whom she may or may not be engaged. She's also become more invested in politics than partying, as evidenced by her impassioned but since-deleted Twitter rant about Great Britain's vote to exit the European Union in June 2016. Though Lohan's "Brexit" dialogue attracted mockery from the press, a little bad publicity over international economics sure beats all those lawbreaking headlines from her past.

Anyone hoping that Justin Bieber would grow up to become a fine, upstanding gentleman has been repeatedly disappointed by the "Sorry" singer's wild string of antics. Among the many scandals: he's been arrested, made racist jokes, and behaved like a neighbor from hell. In fact, he's been at the center of so many controversies that he's actually managed to piss off multiple countries around the world. That's a whole lot of drama for a guy who turned 22 in 2016. One would think the Biebs would have had a come-to-Jesus moment by now, but considering he made headlines in June 2016 for brawling with an angry fan in Cleveland, odds are, he clearly loves himself too much to behave like an adult.

Once the sweet, innocent star of the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus has since grown into what can only be described as the most public act of rebellion maybe ever. She got engaged at 19 years old. She lit a joint on stage in Amsterdam (to be fair, you can do that legally there). She got into a ridiculous, out-of-her-league fight with Nicki Minaj, who promptly put her in her place. Seriously, it's gotten to the point where one could ask, "Well, what hasn't Miley done to get herself into trouble?"

Truth be told: we grew up in the comfort of our own homes, not in front of the spotlight. We can only imagine what kind of pressure Cyrus has dealt with. Still, between twerking on Robin Thicke and riding a wrecking ball in her underwear, Miley is beginning to make us think those cherubin days of Hannah Montana were just a dream.

What would the Kardashian family be, exactly, without a little controversy? Some have argued they wouldn't even be famous had it not been for one particular controversy—you know, Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape.

Since that moment, the Kardashians have crisis-managed their way through a seemingly endless list of headline-making scandals. There was that time when Kim married basketball star Kris Humphries, then divorced him 72 days later. And that time when Khloe Kardashian's marriage to basketball great Lamar Odom fell apart amid rumors of drugs and alcohol. Then Rob Kardashian got Kim's frenemy, model Blac Chyna, pregnant and put a ring on it. Kourtney Kardashian's relationship to Scott Disick hits the rocks about every five minutes. And...yeah, you get the idea.
