Fame and fortune just seem to go straight to some people's heads. Some celebrities take it to the extreme and believe that they are invincible enough to the point where any kind of erratic behavior is excusable. Though no publicity is bad publicity, you have to wonder if the gravity of the shame after the fact of doing something utterly stupid in public really registers with them. It seems like celebrities have it all, but who knows what inner demons they are coping with on the inside. Some take it to the extreme level of substance abuse that rehab is necessary and needs to be addressed by professionals. Others, their public intoxication is a product of plain stupidity.

Celebs are in fact, just like us when it comes to having those nights of too many shots and massive hangovers the next morning. We awake to pics of the sweaty faces and our dumb facial expressions on our phones the next morning. Luckily, we get to delete them and never hear about it again. Famous people, on the other hand, get to have the paparazzi capitalize on those nights they get belligerently wasted. For the sake of our personal entertainment, here are the best moments of celebrities drunkenly causing massive scenes in public.

15 Shia Labeouf

In 2015, Shia Labeouf was arrested in Austin, TX for public intoxication. He was arrested by the Austin Police Department on Austin's 6th St. bar and music strip. Witnesses said that the Transformers and Even Stevens star was completely wasted on alcohol and might have been on some other kind of drugs. He ran wild down 6th St., disobeying police officer's orders to not walk down the street in a certain direction. This wasn't the first disruptive drunk scene he had made in public. Just months before getting arrested in Austin, Labeouf made displayed some bizarre behavior in New York City.  Labeouf hasn't really done much since Transformers (frankly, neither has Megan Fox), so maybe that might explain some erratic behavior just to get the attention and increase of publicity. Who knows.

14 Reese Witherspoon

In 2016, Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth were arrested and briefly jailed for the suspicion of drunk driving. While her husband faced charges for DUI after driving in the wrong lane, Reese was arrested right next to him for disorderly conduct. She was handcuffed by police officers after disobeying orders to stay inside the vehicle. What she did in rebuttal was to bang on the window and exclaim that she did not believe that the cop was "a real police officer." Once her hubby failed his sobriety test and was arrested, she resisted and the officer had to grab her by the arms. Reportedly, she kept telling him "Do you know my name?" and the cop answered, "No, I don't need to know your name." To this, she replied, "You're about to find out who I am." Turns out this wholesome Southern belle that we all know and love has a streak of ratchetness to her.

13 Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell is one of the very last people we would ever expect to lose his composure. This drunken incident is hilarious seeing as though no one got arrested or got hurt this time around. Simon was honored at the 2015 Music Industry Trusts Award in London as many of the rich and famous came together to mingle. Pictures taken of him and a lady friend on the way to the event show a never-ending pounding of beer and a cigarette hanging out of the mouth to boot (seems kind of counter-intuitive seeing as though he is a singing judge). As he walked up to received his award, he gave a really awkward speech directed to One Direction. He said, "Just by luck I get the award I've been wanting all my life and I'm completely hammered. Guys, who misses Zayn?" After a few laughs from the audience, the then adds: "We all get old, but I still have charisma." He then went on to thank the person who invented Botox: "You have no idea how much money you've made me. I can't look surprised but..." Oh, Simon. We love you.

12 Britney Spears

Everyone remembers this incident. This was around the time right before Britney got carried off on a stretcher and then shaved her head. Britney was already going into the rabbit hole of erratic behavior and being an all around party girl even though she had two kids. One night when she was out with Paris Hilton in 2008, she got out of the passenger seat and flat out exposed her cooch for the whole world to see. To top it off, she wasn't wearing any panties. Being the DD, Paris tried to cover up Brittany's legs with her skirt to prevent from exposing herself but to no avail. This one will definitely go down in the records as the ultimate wardrobe malfunction.

11 Paris Hilton

Alright, seriously Paris. What are you doing on the floor in this position? No one has more of a party girl reputation than Miss Paris Hilton. This picture should come as absolutely no surprise since she is pretty much famous for showing up places to party. She gets paid thousands just to show up to clubs and events. Ah, what a life. This pic, though, does not do her any such justice. Her black thong is exposed in the sheer fabric of the dress. There are no specific details as to what events happened on this particular night. It was just a Valentine's Day party in 2010 when Paris just decides to crawl on the floor with her butt in the air.

10 Lindsay Lohan

Famous for once being an actress but now just a train wreck, Lindsay Lohan has had more than her fair share of ups and downs with alcoholism and drug abuse. Being in and out of rehab, she just doesn't seem to keep her sobriety down for a very long time. You have to kind of feel bad for the girl in some ways. Remember back when she was that fresh-faced adorable Cady with red hair and freckles? She seemed to be the next up and coming starlet until she sabotaged her career. Now, she looks washed up and gaunt covered with plastic surgery. Seeing Lindsay Lohan drunk in public is something that we are all pretty much used to by now. This one though takes the cake with her not even able to keep her balance. Geez.

9 Amanda Bynes

Just like all these other child stars, Amanda Bynes has jumped on the burnout bandwagon. You have to wonder what is like having peaked in your childhood just to have your movie roles slow down in your late teen years. Yet, with all that money and time that you have then there is more time to get wasted. Bynes has got in trouble on multiple occasions for DUI charges, hitting another car while drinking and driving, accused of hit and run, and even throwing a bong out of the window of a New York City hotel. Even if that isn't enough, she has been pulled over for driving with a suspended license. These events all occurred around the time when she decided to retire from acting in 2010.

8 Helen Flanagan

Helen Flanagan is an English actress who for a long time played the role as Rosie Webster on the ITV soap opera Coronation Street from 2000 to 2012 (yeah, not too many of us Americans are familiar with that). This blonde brit has been seen very blurry eyed on multiple occasions on the streets. It looks like here, she finds it amusing to be stumbling on the ground in laughter. Well, at least she can laugh at herself. This is yet another child star turned party girl but the UK version of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Though she is only 26, her 10 year stint on the hit soap opera TV show is enough to send her into early retirement. Lucky for her, she has all the time in the world to party.

7 Justin Timberlake

Normally, celebrities shy away from the paparazzi or even avoid them like the plague. Others embrace their presence and want as many flattering shots of them in the tabloids as possible. It is usually the paparazzi who want to get the immediate attention of the celebrity. This time around, it was Justin trying to lure them in by buying them all shots at the bar as he was walking out of a Chris Stapleton concert in LA. How kind of him, right? It turns out that is was Justin that took offense for them not taking the shots that he bought them. His trash talking game was at his peak as he referred to them as "lazy paparazzi bums." He slurred his complaints saying "I gave you guys shots before I walked in and if you're too lazy to be the paparazzi that gets the shots when I go in, that's on you." Hilarious.

6 Matthew McConaughey

In 2008, Matthew McConaughey took a trip to Nicaragua were he was caught getting wasted and hitting on as many girls as possible. He even lost one of his flip-flops and had to go looking for it in a ditch. This wasn't the first time the goofy actor had a silly indiscretion. In 1999, the cops spotted him in his Texas home naked and playing the bongo drums. Under the heavy influence of marijuana, McConaughey was arrested for possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and resisting transportation. He ignored an officer's order to put on his pants and proceeded to shove the cop after being told to get in the squad car. He only wound up spending 9 hours in jail and was released on $1,000 bail. In an interview with Playboy, he exclaimed, "What's wrong with beating on your drums in your birthday suit? I have no regrets about the way I got there."

5 Avril Lavigne

If you do a Google search, "Avril Lavigne drunk", the first thing you will see is videos of multiple drunken incidents from Avril. She even gets trashed when she performs on stage. Don't you wish you could have a job where you can get away with that? She has been linked with drunk altercations between other celebrities including Lindsay Lohan. The most vicious time was when she got involved in a bar scuffle at the Roosevelt hotel. This left her with a black eye, bloody nose, cuts and bruises after being involved in a conflict. This happened when she was dating Brody Jenner when someone reportedly hit him with a beer bottle. The attacker allegedly called Brody a "douche" before striking him. She reacted with her hot temper and got back at him. Both her and Jenner had injuries after the fact. Ouch.

4 David Hasselhoff

This one is both hilarious and sad at the same time. In 2007, David Hasselhoff was filmed by his 16-year-old daughter, Taylor as she was angrily confronting him about his drinking problem. As he was barely even able to sit up, he was just going to town on a burger that was much needed after a night of intoxication. Hasselhoff turned his child into the parent when she is confronting him about his excessive drinking. She said, "you need to promise me you're not going to get alcohol tonight, OK? Because if you get alcohol tonight, you are fired from your show tomorrow." The tape clearly shows a man's personal struggle with alcoholism, but you can't deny the hilarity of the following facts: 1) he has his shirt off and is slightly out of shape 2) that he is just pounding that burger and 3) he is getting the food everywhere. Again, sloppy but sad that his daughter has to deal with it.

3 Nicole Scherzinger

The Pussycat Doll on the surface really appears to normally have her shit together, but it looks like the opposite is often true. In this pic, it is hard to tell if she really is drunk or if she just has had too many lip injections thus exhausting her facial expression. As the 13th season of The X Factor UK came to an end, there were many tweets generating about Nicole Scherizinger's antics and they questioned whether or not she was sober. Her speech became slurry and muddled. She was stumbling on the stage as she was walking with co-hosts Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne. Twitter then kept blowing up about her questionable sobriety.

2 Tiger Woods

Oh man, this one is a doozy. Just a few months ago, Tiger Woods was arrested in Jupiter, FL for DUI. When the cops pulled him over in his black Mercedes-Benz, the breathalyzer test revealed he had an unlawful blood alcohol level. However, it was the mix of prescription drugs in his system that caused him to be in an incredibly intoxicated state. He had trouble standing and failed the sobriety tests. When the cops found him, he was just parked in the middle of the road. Woods later released a statement apologizing for the incident and and stating that it was an "unexpected reaction" to medications resulting in the incident. This mugshot really takes the cake. He just looks faded AF.

1 Prince William & Kate Middleton

This is the last couple you would ever expect to see sloppy and drunk. Yes, even the royal couple has had their moments of drunken debauchery. It's pretty obvious from the pictures that this was back in their early 20s, since William has all of his hair and no receding hairline yet. It's rare to see Kate Middleton giggle like a schoolgirl because she maintains such elegant composure. Nope. This time around, they are letting their hair loose and getting boozy in the back seat of a car. Unlike these previous celebs where we don't envy their situation, it is actually kind of nice to see the royal couple appear human. Letting go of their inhibitions and seeming more human is what this picture displays.
