Ke$ha
Pop star Ke$ha actually considered killing herself after a racy photograph of a woman looking a lot like her and orally pleasuring a male friend hit the internet in December.

"I'd never even thought of suicide before that. Would I ever resort to that? No," she tells Rolling Stone magazine. "But I went three days without sleeping and I was hallucinating from lack of sleep, so my doctor put me on anti-anxiety medicine."

The photo quickly made the rounds on the internet and left her mortified knowing that it's still out there, saying that it's been "a daily struggle" for her.

"I call my man...

David Bowie's music video for single "The Next Day" was pulled from YouTube hours after its release, only to be allowed back on the site after YouTube said it "made the wrong call."

The video, which features Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman, features Bowie in Jesus-like garb as he sings in a band at an S&M club. Nuns, hookers, preachers, and cardinals fill the room and take part in various sins while Bowie sings.

Oldman plays a preacher that asks a barely-clothed Cotillard to dance. During the song, Cotillard gets stigmata and begins to spray everyone with blood, including a woman wearing...

Rapper Rick Ross
I was on YouTube one day and ran across a video of R. Kelly, circa early 2002, in a Reebok commercial. Here was the biggest R&B star on the planet on a commercial with one of the biggest sports equipment companies on the plant, as well. But, I couldn't help but think that maybe that was the first and last commercial he made for the company, before he was more and likely dropped stemming his future child pornography charges. R. Kelly was at his peak until that infamous sex tape was released, and now, 11 years later, Reebok had to pull its urban puppeteer Rick Ross under allegations he promot...
