The Biggest Celebrity Scandals of 2013

#1 Alec Baldwin's Slur

When mobbed by paparazzi, Baldwin called a photographer an offensive gay slur, which ended up in the termination of his contract with MSNBC.

#2 Paula Deen's Racism

After being sued by a former employee over racist comments, which was followed up with several other allegations, the southern chef lost important Food Network contracts due to her apparent racist behavior.

#3 Twerkgate

So many scandals, one little person. From her on and off engagement to Liam Hemsworth to her racy VMA performance to her open letters from Sinead O'Connor, the former Disney star had gossip about her daily in the news for almost all of 2013.

#4 Julianne Hough's Blackface

For Halloween, the blonde celeb decided to go as one of her favorite characters from the hit Netflix series, "Orange is the New Black." Her biggest mistake: dressing up in blackface. She publicly apologized but that didn't excuse her poor judgement.

#5 Taylor Swift Gets Served

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler rocked the Golden Globes, but poked a little fun at Taylor Swift, which didn't go over so nicely.

#6 Lance Armstrong Comes Clean

...about his performance enhancing drugs. In an exclusive interview with Oprah this past January, the athlete discussed his use of steroids openly, losing sponsors and fans from around the world.

#7 Beyonce Lip Sync

At Obama's inauguration for his second term, Queen Bee was asked to sing the National Anthem, a huge honor. However, due to cold weather, she decided to use a backtrack and mouth the words for the actual performance.

#8 Teen Mom Adult Film Star

22-year-old Farrah Abraham, star of the original "Teen Mom" series and proud mother of a toddler, starred in an adult movie not at all safe for children.

#9 Paris Jackson Suicide Attempt

According to a report from TMZ, Michael Jackson's daughter was rushed to a hospital from her home in Calabasas around 2am, after a 911 call came in about "a possible overdose." TMZ quoted one source as saying that Jackson had "multiple cuts on one of her wrists."
