The 14 Juiciest Celeb Meltdowns

#2: Britney Spears

Pre-Meltdown: The teen temptress of "Baby One More Time" and "Toxic." The down-home girl-next-door who just happened to be the world's biggest pop star.

Low Point: In a year that's seen little more than low points for Britney, it's a little difficult to pick just one. But, whatever one thinks of her VMA performance, the night of Feb. 21, 2007 takes the cake, when a recently bald-headed Britney, seemingly possessed by a demon dog, lunged at a photographer's car with her umbrella while stopping at a Tarzana, Calif., gas station.

Entertainment Factor: In an industry so full of false smiles and even faker disgust for fame, Brit's outburst was a rare moment of genuine emotion, where the wall between public and private truly came crashing down. Girlfriend also looked scary with that chrome dome!

Current Status: Well, if you missed the VMAs the other night, Britney's comeback performance was one for the ages, solidifying her place in the career killer hall of fame.
