Celebrity Tantrums The Official Dirt

They're talented. They're charismatic. They're millionaires and jet-setters. And they sometimes lose their cool in public. Celebrities: we love them when they're being good, and we love the juicy details when they're being bad. Jealous rages, whiny outbursts, embarrassing felonies -- Celebrity Tantrums! The Official Dirt brings together the world's most famous people caught in the most outrageous acts of bad behavior. Tasteless tirades, bizarre breakups, and frantic freak-outs are all exposed as author Lisa Brandt scours the music, film, sports, and fashion industries for the best of the worst celebrity tantrums. Get the scoop on Madonna's feud with a condom manufacturer, diva Mariah Carey's cat fight with Mira Sorvino, and Russell Crowe's vampire-like assault on an Australian bouncer. Find out about Matt Damon's breakup with his girl-friend on live network television, or Phil Collins' disposal of his significant other with the help of a fax machine. What's the connection between Diana Ross, Lil' Kim, and an airport security guard? Here's a clue: Diana can't keep her hands to herself. Even the stars of yesteryear are caught in the act: Robert Mitchum's frolic in a film studio's flower garden, Charlie Chaplin's pursuit of (much) younger women, and Bette Davis' off-screen rampages are all brought back to life. These are just a few of the tantalizing stories that put publicists in damagecontrol mode, cause gossip hounds to salivate, and the stars themselves to hope against hope that we'd all simply forget. Not a chance! Celebrity Tantrums! The Official Dirt reveals every sordid story in glorious detail.
