Justin Bieber: No matter how much Justin protests, he just can't get on the right side of the press at the moment. It all started to go amiss when he got to the UK, was refused entry to a club for fear he'd damage their image and then had an awful week in London, turning up late and fighting with paps.
Axl Rose: Can anyone remember the last time there was a positive story about the GnR frontman? We can't. Since Appetite For Destruction became one of the greatest rock albums ever, Rose has worked hard at being the greatest d**khead ever. He's currently being sued for knocking a fan's teeth out. Go figure.
Azealia Banks: Last year Banks was being lauded as the future of rap, head and shoulders above her rivals Angel Haze and Iggy Azalea. She then made for consistently bad headlines, cancelling shows, ranting on Twitter with homophobic slurs, feuding with other artists and, recently accusing The Stone Roses of a conspiracy to spoil her set. Banks could give lessons on getting bad press.
Lil Kim: One of the greatest female rappers ever, and the only real success stories from The Notorious B.I.G.'s Junior M.A.F.I.A rap collective. Lil Kim was once at the forefront of the East Coast rap movement. Now she's mainly in the press regarding the on-going debate about who's responsible for her current face.
Nicki Minaj: The end of 2012 was not a good period for Nicki. She had an explosive argument with fellow American Idol judge Mariah Carey tha resulted in Carey hiring extra security, and banned Hot 97 from playing her pop music because they said she was a pop star not a rapper.
Sarah Harding: While Girls Aloud are, for the most part, still the darlings of the girl group world, Sarah has had a slightly harder time of it. Most recently she's forgotten the lyrics to Girls Aloud songs on stage and had her hair fall out on morning TV.
Ke$ha: Ke$ha's always good for a wacky headline, but doesn't help herself in the process. Before Christmas she claimed she was forced to sing the lyrics to 'Die Young', a song pulled from radio playlists after the Sandy Hook shootings, but insisted she wrote ALL of her songs just weeks before. Apparently she's also had sex with a ghost.
Miley Cyrus: Like Bieber, Miley's one of those Disney stars grown up that the press are desperate to see slip up. Her 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' cover was deemed the worse of all time, and proclaiming herself a 'stoner' at her birthday part wasn't a great idea. Making a 'slanty eyes' facial gesture ahead of her Asian tour was a worse idea still. She currently banned from China, as is anything related to her.
Geri Halliwell: Geri's been fighting an uphill battle ever since she quit the Spice Girls and ruined life for a generation of girls. She recently tried to show she was 'down with Joe Average' by riding the tube. One stop. That back fired a little.
Tulisa: Having won a spot on the X Factor judging panel, things should've been on the up for Tulisa. But they just refused to come good. Her debut solo album was a distinct flop, beaten in the charts by contestants she mentored, and now she's reportedly been given the shove by the show.
