Undergoing 10 plastic surgeries in one day should certify you as crazy. At least that’s what Heidi Montag’s detractors felt. The Hills star took offense to remarks made over her unnecessary cosmetic procedures and publicly shared her feelings stating: "I have no friends! The ones who are pretending to be 'friends' or 'family,' are crazy, angry, broke and BITTER. My last surgery was the best decision of my life!" You would swear she was mocking herself at that point.

The Harlem native garnered a rep for stirring up beefs with anyone and everyone in the Twitterverse. But in the midst of her battle with Angel Haze, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton decided to chime in, which resulted in Banks calling him a “messy f*****.” Refusing to apologize, she tried clarified her statement by saying, "A f****t is not a homosexual male. A f****t is any male who acts like a female. There's a BIG difference." Word? Some say she was feeling salty about rumors that Universal Music Group was planning to drop her from the label.

Most dudes would be shook if they got caught palming the ass of another man’s wife, especially if the groom is none other than Ice-T. Unknown rapper AP.9 embraced the fame as gossip site MediaTakeOut.com exposed him and Ice T's wife Coco canoodling in Las Vegas. The OG rapper/pimp/entertainer responded to the photos by tweeting in shame: “Don't get it twisted, I'm not happy about this s—t. Most of [the pictures are] disrespectful and in bad taste. She's made me look and feel like s--t.” Guess this is what it sounds like when thugs cry.

Mr. 106 & Park got saucy behind the wheel of his Lambo after partying it up with Chris Brown at LIV on New Year's Eve.

Im young n rich im goin hard 2nite." The YMCMB rapper apologized the following day for being immature and claimed he had "too much good stuff lined up" for 2010. Really?

The former SNL comedian and Tea Party activist practically weeped over Obama’s reelection, targeting her disappointment at Christians and America. Her exact tweets read, “I can’t stop crying.

Unhappy with his label situation, DeAndre vented on the direction of his musical career and even went as far as to throw some racial shade at his bosses—referring to them as "crackers."

Since joining the Twitteratti, the Happy Days star has proven to be a full-blown wreck from his maniacal tirades against liberals to instigating fights with fans. It all began when he voiced his pro-choice opinion. International boarder control, issues with Lady Gaga, and prejudice digs at First Lady Michelle Obama only solidified his state of hysteria. This timeline of Baio's online mental breakdown speaks for itself.

Silent Bob lost his cool when he was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight for being too fat. What began as a calm response to the altercation on his Twitter feed turned into an ugly emotional rant against the airline: “So, @SouthwestAir, go fuck yourself. I broke no regulation, offered no "safety risk" (what, was I gonna roll on a fellow passenger?). I was..wrongly ejected from the flight (even Suzanne eventually agreed). And fuck your apologetic $100 voucher, @SouthwestAir." This went on for quite some time until Smith jumped on another flight.

Minaj showed that when it comes to issuing verbal assaults, even her fans could get it. “Like people are hitting me telling me I should’ve mimed. No! Then you woulda made a f*cking STORY out of that too! #killyaf*ckingself,” she tweeted. If we’re talking “Starships,” miming doesn't sound like a bad option.

What sparked the Washington Redskins wide receiver to go off on his ex-wife and cornerback Lito Sheppard? Anger and resentment would seem like the most logical explanations. But all we know is Gaffney wasn’t scared to “keeps it 100,” throwing both parties under the bus in his wild Twitter rant. His release soon followed and he remains a free agent.

Surprise, surprise: Another right-winger super pissed over the presidential election. The Amboy Dukes rocker jumped on his Twitter page to condemn the so-called “pimps,” “whores,” and “welfare brats” who voted in Obama for a second term. It's this same group he believes will support the country’s “economic and spiritual suicide.” He then focused his attention on the Supreme Court and gun control laws.

Donda's baby boy has never been one to hold back on Twitter. And that's exactly what he did when pressed on the infamous "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" line and the Taylor Swift confrontation during his Today Show interview with Matt Lauer.

The often-chaotic widow of Kurt Cobain celebrated her daughter Frances' 18th birthday by going on a five-hour Twitter outburst.

Twitter handle: @JimCarrey

Date: April 29, 2010

From the moment he severed ties with ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, the comedian’s never been the same. Attempting to dispel rumors that he was losing his mind, Carrey solidified his lunacy by going on an erratic tirade using the hashtag #BOING. One tweet read, "#BOING WORLD! I'm so grateful 2 u who bounce the big blue ball with me but I've had it with u who need 2 chalk me up as crazy.” Another simply read, "...#BOING Mother F%*kers #BOING Mother F%*kers #BOING!!!#BOING#BOING#BOING#BOING#BOING#BOING#BOING#BOING#BOING!!!”

Only Charlie Sheen can emotionally implode on the social network, while setting a Guinness World record for gaining the most Twitter followers in 24 hours and transforming his trademark slogan into a trending topic: #tigerblood #winning. His first tweet introduced us to his so-called goddesses, then the former Two and a Half Men star turned sour when revisting his long-lasting beef with CBS showrunner Chuck Lorre. It came as no shocker when he lost custody of his children the following day.

Twitter handle: @PerezHilton

Date: June 22, 2009

Some say the self-proclaimed "queen of all media" had it coming when Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.I.Am cold-cocked him right in the eye. The physical assault sent the celebrity blogger into a frenzy, as Hilton desperately begged for police assistance…on the social microblogging service. Seriously. Dude jumped on Twitter, then called his lawyer before actually dialing those three simple numbers: 9-1-1. #DramaQueen

Twitter handle: @realDonaldTrump

Date: Nov. 6, 2012

As if disputing Barack Obama’s citizenship didn’t already put him in hot water with conservatives, the billionaire businessman and failed Republican candidate attacked the president’s election win by calling it a “disgusting sham.” Everyone from TV journalist Brian Williams to Alec Baldwin blasted Trump for his asinine comments, which was clearly a hater move to steal Obama’s shine. Misery loves company.

Celebrities (and athletes) need to watch what they share on Twitter. It just might land them in rehab. Case in point former Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley. The promising b-baller suffered a mental breakdown, which was showcased on his profile through disturbing tweets and a TwitPic revealing suspicious bags containing an unidentified drug in the background. From that moment on he was checked into a Houston rehabilitation hospital.

Unable to shake off the assault scandal that’s forever haunted his career, Breezy caught feelings when Twitter users gave him grief for the heinous physical crime he committed against ex-girlfriend Rihanna two years earlier. So the singer lashed out at his haters, even taking some subliminal shots at some of the industry’s elder and more popular celebrities. He followed up by running the same routine after each public meltdown--deleting his account. A year later, after being taunted by comedian Jenny Johnson, Brown once again lost it, telling Johnson that he should "fart while ur giving me top." This meldown resulted in him again temporarily deleting his Twitter account.

As dark descends into my world....Don't mourn me world, I will die slow." She told Global Grind her depression stemmed from an alleged altercation with former lover Shawn Marriman, which left her hospitalized. That didn't stop Charlamenge the God from calling her out as a desperate attention seeker, leading to a heated exchange between the two that consisted of racial slurs and other insensitive remarks.

Of the numerous Twitter meltdowns suffered by the Mean Girls star, none was more epic than the time she called out her pops, Michael Lohan, for being a deadbeat and child kidnapper. Lindsay wasn’t too thrilled with his insinuation of her being hooked on prescription meds and proceeded to put him on blast: “He has NEVER paid child support and can barely spell his own name due to his ‘brain’ that has been ruined due to HIS drug use.” “Let’s not forget, that my father KIDNAPPED me from a COURT ROOM when I was 4 years old and is CRAZY,” she continued. That family's a complete mess.
