I’ve said I was going to have a post about this soon. Well here it is, folks. Celebrities going off on angry tirades in the media that creates controversy. Many people think that famous people that go angry with full of swearing, go off on racist rants or says offensive stuff about children…is a career destroyer. The public thinks that celebrities taking the high road is on their way to ending their careers. Just like that.

I’ve said it before, you must look at reality that when celebrities do this, it doesn’t kill their careers at all, it does nothing but makes their careers better.

Think about this…..

When Donald Trump went off on Rosie O’ Donnell last year, that didn’t kill his fame and fortune. What did it do? It just inspired the WWE to start a feud with Donald Trump so The Donald and Vince McMahon can have some kind of match at Wrestlemania to help promote, The Apprentice. Now the Apprentice is the biggest show on television.

When the Dog Duane Chapman, used racial slurs…he got negative public backlash for a while, but guess what folks…he got his TV show back and now he’s one of the most well known people in the media.

Don Imus…when he got busted for using “Nappy Headed Ho’s”, look where that got him? He’s back on radio now.

Alec Baldwin goes off on tirade in taped phone conversation yelling at his daughter…guess what, did that kill his acting career? Nope. He’s now the biggest star ever on “30 Rock'” on NBC!!!

Michael Richards, the Seinfeld guy…gone racist after being heckled at a comedy show…did that kill his career as a comedian/actor? Nope, he’s doing animated voice overs for animated films lately.

Jack Nicholson is the king of tirades, his most famous one is back in 1994 when he went golfing with friends when he went on a rage, took his golf clubs and smashed a guy’s windshield on his car. Plus, his latest tirade is when TMZ posted a recent video of Jack standing in the street waiting for his ride and he’s going mad at a fan wanting an autograph, everybody still loves Jack for this.

Mel Gibson…going off on a Jews rant when he got pulled over for DUI. Did that kill his career? Nope. He’s back starring the leading roles in movies now.

Tom Cruise jumping the couch and going off on a Scientology rant in his weird video…he may have gotten banned from filming movies in Paramount, but that’s still not stopping Cruise for “Valkyrie” being a successful movie in the box office and getting a Golden Globe nomination for his character in Tropic Thunder”!!!!

Bill O’ Reilly…is also the king of tirades…but the O’ Reilly Factor TV and Radioshows are both still a hit!!!

Howard Stern…is also the king of tirades…he was fired from regular FM radio and now on Sirius Sattelite, Stern is stronger than ever!

There, you get the idea.

With Dana White’s video rant about Loretta Hunt, do you think that’s going to lose his job? If you think about it, I don’t think it will. It’ll make UFC more popular and will his video rant help UFC 97 with high ppv buyrates? Absolutely!

Jamie Foxx’s rant on Miley Cyrus, will that help make his next movie “The Soloist” a world record breaking movie for box office opening weekend? Absolutely!

Billy Bob Thornton’s controversial interview with the Boxmasters on QTV…could that interview make the next Boxmasters album the no. 1 record in the Billboard 200? Absolutely!

Could Christian Bale’s tirade make “Terminator Salvation” and “Public Enemies” huge films in the box office? Yes, yes, yes!

That’s the reason these celebrities do these things. They know the media is watching every move they do and this is how they promote their upcoming projects.
