In light of Chris Brown’s WWE-style beat-down of his (soon to be ex-) girlfriend Rihanna last weekend, it would only be appropriate to commemorate some of Hollywood’s other volatile couples, from the past and the present. Mostly musicians, all of these duos put the crazy in crazy in love.

7. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: Topping the list is the trashiest couple who never lived in a trailer park! Prior to turning her loony escapades into a one-woman act, Britney had a partner in crime – her womanizing ex-baby daddy K-Fed. Who will ever forget their beach PDA, staged balcony make-out sessions, and gas station bathroom runs? And if this wasn’t enough to cement their status as ape-crazy amours, then surely their Emmy-deserving television show Chaotic will be remembered as one of the most outrageous pieces of celebrity couple footage.

6. Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee: Another couple famous for getting candid on film, Pam and Tommy single-handedly perfected the celebrity sex tape and turned it into the industry that it is today. They are sleazy enough on their own she being an ex-playmate with mega mammaries and he an ex-rock star with a sizable asset of his own – together they were a force of raunchiness. Though they eventually separated, at least they both got something out of their union: while Pam gave Tommy two children, he gave her the gift that keeps on giving – hepatitis!

5. Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love: The first couple of grunge, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were the epitome of all things tawdry. Both of their lives were dominated by drug use, so much that Courtney was even rumored to be on heroin during her pregnancy with their daughter Francis Bean. Tragically, Cobain committed suicide, leaving Courtney alone in her acts of madness, which still continue to this day.

4. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown: Whitney Houston’s existence can be divided into three periods: pre-Bobby, the Bobby years, and post-Bobby. Pre-Bobby, Whitney was a platinum-selling superstar with pitch-perfect pipes. When she married the 80s rapper, however, her life and career spun out of control. Apparently under his influence, crack became her favorite meal and Whitney’s public appearances gradually turned odder and odder, unforgettably reaching a climax when she and Bobby took their crazy train to Israel. Thank god she divorced him and is getting her life back on track.

3. Liza Minnelli and David Gest:

If only for their circus-like freak show wedding, with Michael Jackson as the best man and Elizabeth Taylor as the maid of honor, this couple will go down in history as one of the most whacky, visually nauseating pairings of all time. Both of them decrepit, plastic-looking anomalies of nature, together these two looked like the distant-relatives of the Munster family. With rumors that Gest was actually gay and charges of domestic abuse (she

attacked him) they eventually divorced after a couple of years of marriage.

2. Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra: One of the many Hollywood couples to have a shot-gun wedding in Vegas, theirs was annulled after nine days due to the fact that Rodman said he was drunk during the nuptials. Still, despite the annulment, the couple stayed together. But not for long. Things turned sour when the two were arrested for domestic battles and Electra filed for divorce.

1. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt:

Neither of them really celebrities, these two annoyingly ubiquitous Hills villains make the list for their vomit-inducing, obviously rehearsed displays of public disturbance. From planned photo-ops for every holiday to impromptu beach music videos, Speidi, as gossip columns unaffectionately call them because of their poisonous nature, are surely the most terrible twosome in Los Angeles. They have definitely turned the celebrity train wreck couple into a performance art, even disgustingly staging a divorce. Let’s hope their fifteen minutes ends immediately.
