Rich. Famous. Incorrigible. French actor Gerard Depardieu is only the most recent in a long list of badly behaved celebrities. We round up our favourites, who have hit the road to redemption (We Hope!)

Gerard Depardieu:
Say, 'Excuse me' when you have to use the restroom




French actor Gerard Depardieu was reportedly thrown off a Dublin-bound plane for piddling in public view. Fellow French actor Edouard Baer has dismissed the brouhaha over what the French press are terming 'pipigate', claiming that the 62-year-old was denied use of the lavatory, as the plane was close to taking off, which is when Baer had the rather 'genius' idea of passing him a 'little' bottle to pee in. He is alleged to have offered to clean up the, ahem, mess, but the hostess would hear none of it. How's that for service with a smile!

Charlie Sheen:
Don't call people names, especially your boss



Name-calling is rude. You know this, Charlie Sheen. But calling your boss a "retarded zombie"? That's plain stupid. The ex-star of Two and a Half Men is not the first to have a public meltdown, and unfortunately won't be the last. Multiple arrests. Substance abuse problems. Allegations of domestic violence. We hope this 46-year-old bad boy of Hollywood grows up soon.
Would be a shame to see all that talent go to waste.

Robert Downey Jr:
Knock before you call on the neighbours



Downey Jr has been arrested several times on drug-related charges, in the late '90s. His several stints in rehab proved unsuccessful with the actor, who claimed he got addicted since the age of eight, because of his father, who was also an addict, continually relapsing. In 1996, while on parole, he trespassed into a neighbour's home in a drug-induced stupor and fell asleep in one of the beds. The Iron Man knows better since.

Salman Khan:
Keep your temper, nobody wants it



The shadow of 'troubled star' continues to follow Salman Khan, be it public showdowns with other stars, accusations of violence in past relationships, and charges of illegally hunting and killing a deer. The forty-plus star seems to have reformed since and is now busy getting audiences to see his 'softer' side, more toned down side.
