Is it a full moon that’s driving young girls crazy? Nah, just a Twilight: New Moon. The new vamps and werewolves flick is making fans hormonally insane, just like the original Twilight film did in 2008. Over the last few years, the franchise’s star Robert Pattinson has gotten it the worst, dodging a mini-riot at an autograph session and taxis on the streets of NYC while running from his crazed fans. His co-stars Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart have caught their share of craziness too: last week in Brazil, 2,000 fans stormed their hotel and tried to rush their rooms before they were ultimately subdued by riot police.

It’s all proof that teenage girls are too imbalanced to be right in the head. It’s not like this should be news to any of us, either. This shit has been going on longer than Kotex has been easing girls’ transition into womanhood. Check out some of the crazier ways fans have showed their appreciation for the stars they love…

WHO:B5
WHEN: 2005
WHERE: Minnesota
FRENZY: A free, radio-station-sponsored concert at the Brookdale Center Mall turned ugly when fans, outnumbering security 2,000 to 10, climbed onto stage and tackled Diddy’s boy band. Four people were taken to hospitals and five more had minor injuries treated at the mall. We can only imagine how many mall employees’ ears were hurt by B5.

WHO: Frank Sinatra
WHEN: 1944
WHERE: New York City
FRENZY: Capitalizing on Frankie Blue Eyes’ popularity, the 3,500-person capacity Paramount Theater booked him for several back-to-back shows. When the shrieking chicks in the first show refused to leave, the 30,000-plus shrieking chicks outside went ape shit, sparking “The Columbus Day Riot.” Police had to be called in, but that wasn’t the end of the fuckery. Some of Sinatra’s obsessed fans reportedly sat through dozens of his performances consecutively without food and fainted while others had to be dragged out of the venue by ushers.

WHO: ‘N Sync
WHEN: 2000
WHERE: New York City
FRENZY: While the group’s No Strings Attached LP was bending the Backstreet Boys over, JT and the crew made an appearance at MTV’s Total Request Live. It was normal to have a crowd outside the building during a taping, but so many devotees showed up for ‘N Sync that they shut down Times Square. The terrorists win again.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

WHO: The Beatles
WHEN: 1964
WHERE: New York City
FRENZY: The Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show is considered the start of the British Invasion of the U.S., but the assault was all American. Throughout the three shows, hysterical young women screamed and cried, making it difficult to even hear the band. During the taping of the second of their three shows, a throng of fans prevented the band from getting on stage until police wedged them apart. Hence the mania in Beatlemania.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

WHO: Zac Efron
WHEN: NA
WHERE: NA
FRENZY: Once, at a premiere, a barrier broke and his fans rushed the star and grabbed him up, pulling him in every direction. Security was able to break him free and calm the situation, but when Efron got home and took off his shirt he discovered that a fingernail was stuck in his back. Kinky. (Note: This may be why he’s letting his wax figure make appearances for him now.)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

WHO: Michael Jackson
WHEN: 1964-2009
WHERE: Everywhere
FRENZY: There are way too many incidents of MJ causing people to lose their minds to cite just one. Peep this montage to see how far flung his frenzies were. The King of (making it) Pop will never be dethroned.

Roger Federer won his first French Open yesterday, and while that’s a big deal, especially because he’s now tied with Pete Sampras for the most Grand Slam titles ever (14), the match itself was kind of boring. Well, most of it.

In an incident Federer described as “a touch scary,” a spectator ran onto the court and tried to put a beret on his head before dashing off in an attempt to evade security. The brave/crazy/drunk fan was taken down by a impressively solid tackle shortly after. Nice form! So nice that it got us thinking about some of our favorite sports fan takedowns by security, refs, and athletes. When you step on the field of play, it’s game on, bitch! Watch 5 classics below…

Unless you’re speaking at a Friar’s Club roast, you might want to hold off on “ribbing” a dude in front of a mob of his friends.

And the ump says…he’s out! (Cold, that is.) According to the rule book, dude was automatically out the moment he ran outside of the base path, but it was fun to see it through anyway, no?

Either the security guards who got broken and run into each other really suck at their job or the Bengals need to pick this guy up in free agency.

Who needs security? THAT is how a ref really pulls your card!

If there was any doubt that the Dallas Cowboys are America’s team, they were squashed Monday night when Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin wiggled out of an attempted robbery in Big D because the would-be stickup men were Cowboys fans.

After the pair pulled up to the famous athlete at a stop light, they rolled down the window and the Irvin rolled his down too, thinking they were ball-fondling fans. Well, it turns out they were; after sticking a gun in his face they realized who he was and deaded the robbery, instead talking to the Cowboy great about their favorite team. Score one for the Cowboys! Complex imagines the conversation that might have taken place…

DRIVER: [Rolls down window. Motions for Michael Irvin to do the same.] Hey! Hey!

EVERYONE: Already!
