25 Wild Celebrity Freakouts On Set and Off

Celebrities! They're rich and have class… Sometimes? And sometimes they freak out and end up on a list like this. Look, we're huge movie nerds here, we love behind-the-scenes facts, we love learning how the proverbial sausage is made when our favorite pieces of pop culture are being ground into a flavorful medley and stuffed into a tight casing. Oh, we just realized we might be hungry. Let's get some food before we freak out.

Anyway, we here at Cracked understand that making movies and TV shows are high-pressure situations. Performers are putting their most vulnerable selves on display in a highly public way. There's money and legacy and professional pride at stake. It'd be a little weird if people didn't freak out from time to time. But sometimes those freakouts go overboard. Sometimes lines are crossed. And unfortunately for movie stars, the public is going to find out about it. Here are 25 incidents that made us go WHOAH:

Lindsay Lohan spent as much money as the film made. THE CANYONS CRACKED.COM On top of some other vintage Lohan behavior, she reportedly spent $46k on a hotel room -- the film went on to gross just $57k.

Lisa Kudrow was too funny. FRASIER CRACKED.COM Writers were taken aback by her delivery, and would have to rewrite her dialogue after read-throughs.

Peter Frampton stormed off during a concert when a cameraman ruined his solo. IRDS A At a concert in Minnesota, the musician known for Baby, I Love Your Way (and snatching cell phones out of fans' hands) took great offense when the overhead screen showed a woman in the crowd holding up his album Frampton Comes Alive while he was playing.

Sly Stone launched into a bizarre diatribe (and then went limp) at Coachella. Sly (of Sly and the Family) Stone was a featured act at Coachella a few years back, but his music took second stage. After ranting incoherently about a multi-million- dollar lawsuit involving a former manager, he laid down and was unable to finish a single song. As the band played, he just sort of disappeared from sight, never to return. Which is hard to do for someone wearing a police hat and sequined jacket.

They'll probably go with The Rock. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **11 Supernova-Grade Celeb Meltdowns**

Madonna got falling-down drunk on stage. During a concert in Australia, Madge appeared to get good and liquored up onstage while dressed up as some sort of erotic Victorian rodeo clown.

She then attempted to ride, then fell off, a tiny children's tricycle. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **11 Supernova-Grade Celeb Meltdowns**
