When Celebrities Attack
Whether you assiduously follow gossip or just occasionally watch the news, every day seems to bring more and more stories of celebrities on the warpath. From Kiefer Sutherland's recent run-in with someone's head to Victoria Principal's pulling a gun on her maid last December, there's no escape from hot-headed stars.
With Principal, the resulting lawsuit has two sides. She claims her housekeeper, Maribel Banegas (who, according to Victoria, was near termination for aggressive behavior), injured the former "Dallas" actress' dog after taking it for one last (and suspiciously long) walk. When Maribel began banging her hands on the kitchen counter and demanding money, Victoria simply produced the weapon to "calm her down." According to Maribel, the walk took an hour because the dog wasn't doing "its business" and that Principal became irate when Maribel asked for her final payment. What no one disputes is the actual presence of a firearm, which is really the most disturbing detail here, isn't it? Maybe Victoria just had a flashback to her days with J.R. and the Ewings.
At any rate, it got us thinking about other stars who respond to unusual circumstances with explosive tempers.
ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
bhig bhil said "I was watching Young Frankenstien, when we thought about Terri Garr and then Bernadette Peters, as comedieenes. Then I wondered what happened to Bernadette? Well, I have found out that she is well and is still a hottie at 61. My God The Woman Looks Good! Her and Andie MacDowell have that Hair, that beautiful frizzy wonderful Hair! Go Girl"
judykk334 said " I found a great dating site________ W e a l t h y O n l y. c o m ________. The best dating club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties. What's the most important is that you don't have to be a millionaire, but you can meet one. BTW, Charlie Sheen found his true love on that site in 2007."

Two things I remember about Victoria Principal, apart from her beauty, are:1.Her involvement with the much younger Bee Gees boy resulting in his suicide and 2.The late Johny Carson's joke that he wanted to be reborn as Victoria Principal's toilet seat!!!

lindasdfw, people like you blow my friggin' mind! IF, and that's a BIG IF, you are not some kind of advertising bot that has made it's way onto the site, you would be all up in my face, ripping me a new one if I were advertising a web page for WHITE "girls" to meet men and good friends! I might as well join the Klan, as far as people like you are concerned, but, hey, Miss "Black America" is still cool too, isn't it? So much for racial integration.
As for you Jakesnakeadder, what's wrong, somebody in your family an addict, just get out of rehab yourself? Give it a rest, "mark my word", if you had people in your face 24/7, you might lose it once in a while too. People don't have to be drunk or on drugs to get pissed off.
Tomorrow I have to go rip someone's ass because they screwed up something for a huge party that I just had yesterday. No I wont be throwing things or head-butting them,(actually, that depends upon how sorry they are) but I will be yelling. Good thing I don't have paparazzi following me everywhere that I go, because I'm sure that they could lie and turn this deserved ass chewing into something outrageous and stupid, it's all hype, and you buy into it.
You have to remember that it is a very rare occasion that a celebrity gets to tell their side of a story, their publiscists come out with all kind of "I'm sorries, and he was tired", crap like that, so they will keep getting parts, deals, etc., but every moron within 100 yards of any "so called" incident can go sell their story to a tabloid..."sources close to...". Give me a break.

bluegirafferose!!! Barbra Streisand is NOT Kiefer Sutherland's mother! Oh my goodness what a hoot! His mother is Shirley Douglas who is an accomplished stage actress. He also has a twin sister. The entire family is Canadian born and bred. His grandfather was a Canadian provincial premier.
Do your research before you post so-called 'facts' about someone. Wow. I have seriously never seen someone spew off so much baloney and honestly believe themselves! I thought I was going to die laughing. I'm surprised you didn't say his father was Donald DUCK.

bethie nobody messed over Andy Gibb. He had serious mental issues long before she came along. I was a serious Bee Gee and Gibb fan back then (and before) and was well aware of his trials and tribulations. He had a crush on her and the family pressured her into indulging him, as they had done all of his life. When she realized that he was becoming dangerously obsessive, the 'friendship' was over..ended by her. He had complusion issues as well as manic depression. She wasn't to blame. Having said that I have never been a big fan. Still, your comments are harsh and unnecessary.

I love Victoria Principal and she looks better than most women her age! All women should do whatever it takes to keep themselves up to be the best that they can be. Diet, exercise, and skincare are just some of the areas that deserve lifelong attention. As women we should stop being so harsh and catty towards our gender.

Bettie, Anybody who would even write what you did about Vic. Princ. is a jealous, bitter woman. V P is a beautiful. And would put most women (including you i'm sure) half her age to shame. Andy Gibb was a hopelessly addicted junkie who was given chance after chance by her to get his life together and he couldn't. Kiefer S is an out-of-control drunk who, mark my words here and now, is going to kill some body one of these days. He needs a good little stretch in jail to straighten up. It would be a shame to see someone with so much talent go to waste but if he doesn't back off the booze, that's what's gonna happen.

victoria is a old woman, and she looks the part. i have never liked her, since she messed over andy gibbs. as for kiefer, i have been a fan since he started and will reamain so til he stops. i would never want to look like her or any other "famous " person. whoever would is a sad individual. i may not be happy with how i look but i do like going out my door without a camera in my face or up my tail looking for cellutite.

She looks like clown face. Plastic, plastic and more plastic. Why not age gracefully or let her lone of skincare do the trick? This tells a story of it's own about her line of products.
Barbara is not Keifer's mother.

#1 Barbra Streisand (married to James Brolin) is not Kiefer's mom, Shirley Douglas is. Barbra's son is Jason Gould from her marriage to Elliott Gould. #2 Victoria Principal was married to Dr. Harry Glassman, a plastic surgeon, divorcing him in 2006. Not sure if he did her surgery or not, maybe that's why they're divorced now.
