In honor of this weekend's release of "The Hangover," (see the trailer at MSN Movies) we've rounded up a few of what must have been the worst mornings after in Hollywood history. See how these boozy celebs must have suffered!
The Night in Question:
Sometimes the most promising evenings turn out all wrong. Like when Lindsay Lohan hit the town in July, 2007, ended up slapped with her second DUI in 3 months, and — most shocking of all was charged for some mysterious white powder that had somehow taken up residence in her pants pocket.
The Hangover:
As Lindsay shuffled her way out of the pokey on $25,000 bail, we imagine she looked down to find solace in her favorite pants. Then she realized … wait. These coke-filled pants weren't her pants at all! Oh, the injustice!
The Night in Question: Well, actually it was the morning. In 2006, Danny DeVito appeared on "The View," still a bit "lighthearted" after his night out drinking Limoncello with his pal George Clooney. He rolled around the ladies' couch, swore like a sailor, and leered at Barbara Walters, all on national television.
The Hangover:
Triumphant after his tour de force performance, we imagine Danny DeVito strolled outside "The View" studios with a smile on his face.
Then came the text message from George Clooney: "Dude, I am still so drunk right now."
And Danny realized, well, he was too. Also, that he had asked Rosie O'Donnell for her number. Curse you, George Clooney!
The Night in Question:
'Twas the night of the Met Gala
And Kiefer was cooked
When some snot-head designer bumped past his friend Brooke.
So Kiefer allegedly headbutted the guy.
And is now facing assault charges. Whoops.
The Hangover
After a crazy night out, who doesn't awake with a splitting headache? We bet Kiefer's hurt much, much worse than usual.
The Night in Question: In late 2006, Nicole Richie took a little drive. That's not so important. What is important is: before she took that little drive, she also partook of some Vicodin and Marijuana. Nothing serious–just enough to make her drive the wrong way down an LA freeway.
The Hangover:
We imagine a groggy Nicole logged onto the Internet, finding some comfort in the fact that her mugshot is, in fact, totally hot. What's up with one-way freeway entrances anyway?
The Night in Question: Perhaps unsurprisingly, Tara Reid showed up at P-Diddy's birthday ready to party. Maybe that's why she didn't notice that her left breast popped out of her evening gown and stayed there for its own little photo shoot.
The Hangover:
You know what's more painful than a run-of-the-mill hangover? Waking up to find out you've been outstaged by your own body part.
The Night in Question: Do we really need to remind you? In July of 2006, Mel Gibson was pulled over for driving drunk, then tried to improve his situation by calling a lady police officer "sugart—s" and accusing the Jews of starting all wars.
The Hangover:
Slowly coming-to in his Malibu mansion, we imagine Mel had one of those "God I hope I didn't say anything stupid" moments that are a hallmark of any crazy night out.
Then he realized: Whoa. He had said some things that were really, really, stupid.
The Night in Question: Since this incident is self-reported, we're not quite sure when it went down. I mean, Lily Allen was tanked at the time. How should she know? Anyway, after a few adult beverages, Lily logged on the Internet and bought an island.
The Hangover:
Logging into her eBay account, we imagine a suddenly sober Lily was surprised to find herself a "winner!" for one tropical paradise. Then she probably shrugged and whipped up a Piña Colada to celebrate.
The Night in Question: It all started out pretty mellow. Matthew McConaughey was chilling in his house and feeling just fine, so he stripped down to nothing and started wailing on the bongos. Everything was totally righteous until the cops showed up and charged him with marijuana possession. Buzzkill.
The Hangover:
What hangover? The man was just expressing himself through music and the use of barely illegal substances.
The Night in Question: In November of 2007, Jonathan Rhys Myers tried to board a plane from Dublin to London and got in a little scuffle with the flight attendant. Later he said he'd "said the wrong thing to the wrong woman at the wrong time." Uh, yes, if by that you mean you got belligerently drunk and screamed in a stewardess' face.
The Hangover:
Feeling fuzzy, we imagine Jonathan awoke surprised to find that he was still in Dublin. And that he had been arrested. And that he could sort of still go for a pint.
The Night In Question: Well, there was the time Amy punched a paparazzo. And then there was the time she wandered around the streets of London barefoot in little more than her bra. Or this time (left) she went out to the Camden Monarch, but couldn't quite make it on her own.
The Hangover:
Hasn't hit yet. When Amy sobers up, the last few years are going to really smart.
