In October, footage surfaced that saw Minaj blowing up at fellow "American Idol" judge Mariah Carey. "Every time you patronize me, I'm-ma take it back, and if you've got a f**king problem, handle it," the "Starships" rapper was heard ranting."I told them I'm not f**kin' putting up with her f**king highness over there. Figure it the f**k out. Figure it out," she continued. "I'm not gonna sit here every f**king minute to have you come down and harass me every minute everyday."

In January, the actress was hospitalized for substance abuse after experiencing an epileptic seizure brought on by inhaling too much nitrogen oxide (also known as "whip-its"). She was subsequently admitted to luxe rehab facility Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah. (credit:AP)

In November, the controversial R&B singer hurled a series of vulgar insults at comedy writer Jenny Johnson when she retweeted his self-deprecating observation, " I look old as fuck! I'm only 23...," with the reply "I know! Being a worthless piece of shit can really age a person." And back in February, when many took issue with the decision to let Brown perform at the Grammys because of his 2009 assault in Rihanna, Brown lashed out at his critics on Twitter, proclaiming, "HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now!"

While self-described retired multimillionaire Bynes recently told Us Weekly, "I'm not 'troubled'," it's no surprise some might have thought otherwise based on her behavior over the past year. In addition to a DUI arrest and multiple hit-and-runs, Bynes has reportedly engaged in other erratic antics, such as locking herself in a dressing room and disrupting a cycling class. (credit:AP)

While 2012 was supposed to herald Lindsay's acting comeback with her starring role in "Liz & Dick," she's experienced far more drama off-screen. In June, paramedics were called when Lohan was found non-responsive in a California hotel room, but her rep later explained she was suffering from "exhaustion and dehydration." Then in September, she was arrested after tapping a pedestrian with her Porsche and fleeing the scene. And in November, after a spat with a fellow patron at Manhattan's Club Avenue, Lindsay was arrested and charged with third-degree assault. (credit:AP)
