![Trick Trick: The former cohort of Eminem sensationally said in an interview that he doesn't want gay people to buy his album. He blasted to Allhiphop.com: “I don’t want your faggot money any goddamn way. I don’t like it (homosexuality).

![Billy Corgan: The ultimate faux pas for a recording artist, Corgan berated his own fans at a show in Chicago, seemingly angered by negative reviews from the press. He blathered: “You know, sometimes crowds remind me of ex-girlfriends, and you remind me of this one that took a lot of my money and didn’t like me. She told me she loved me but she wasn’t really there for me. That’s what this reminds me of. It’s that kind of relationship”.]()

![Amy Winehouse: The Amy Winehouse circus reached new lows in 2008. The year didn't start off too well when a video surfaced of Wino taking drugs. She was then accused of assault, developed emphysema, was admitted to a clinic, performed erratically at live shows and generally she has looked more dishevelled as the year has progressed. Not to mention her loser of a husband. Sort yourself out please Amy.]()

![Prince: The vertically challenged funk-rocker left jaws agape when his people took a woman to court over a Youtube clip which featured her baby son dancing to one of his songs. It was almost as shocking as when he ordered fan sites to remove photos from their pages last year. The Jehovah's Witness then sparked an outcry in November when he said gay marriage “isn't right.” Can his ego get any bigger? We reckon yes.]()

First it was Simon Cowell who he called “slimy” (which may well be true, but coming from Mick Hucknall?!), while he blamed Oasis for “making a cliché” out of northerners. Both Cowell and Noel Gallagher duly gave Hucknall a good verbal kicking back.]()
