Oh, celebrities: they suck, yet we can't stop thinking about them. But who is truly the world's most worthless celebrity? Here at Heavy, we use science to answer these questions. Using a complex series of algorithms that monitor blog mentions, videos, and other Internet and media traffic, we have distilled the world's celebrities into an orderly list of 100 attention-seeking douchebags. Every day, we'll debut another entry on the list, counting down to the ultimate celebrity trainwreck.
So who is the second entrant into the Trainwreck 100? Here's some hints: he started out acting in his distant homeland before breaking through to American audiences with a post-apocalyptic action flick. As he became more famous, he also became more insane. Like yesterday's entry Kate Gosselin, he also has eight kids, but they came one at a time. His multiple run-ins with the law created some hilarious mugshots. And his next movie is about the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary. Check to see if you're right after the jump.
Yes, it's Mel Gibson! From his glory days in The Road Warrior, Mel has had one of the craziest drop-offs in human history. I'd say it was 1997's Conspiracy Theory that unhinged his mind and sent him down the road to ruin - after that, it was less Mad Max and more Mad Mel, as it were, acting in such perplexing pieces of crap as What Women Want. Throw in the Christian-fueled success of The Passion Of The Christ, and you have a millionaire descendant of British castoff criminals who feels like he's above the law. Some of the craziest things he's said include that Rhodes Scholars are tools of the New World Order, stem cell research is murder, and multiple anti-semitic slurs to a cop who was pulling him over. Recently, Mel's Russian jailbait girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to Mel's eighth child - only six months after Gibson divorced his long-time wife Robin.
