Truly Dysfunctional Celebrity Relationships

Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson

It was the perfect romance: a vampire and his inexpressive on-screen lover. Finding love on set isn't uncommon, but Stewart made a habit of it. While still committed to Pattinson, Stewart was seen kissing director Rupert Sanders on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman (2012). The kiss destroyed Sanders' marriage, and Pattinson left her soon after.

Mel Gibson & Oksana Grigorieva

Mel Gibson shouldn't be around anyone but the hand puppet that co-starred with him in The Beaver (2011), but his public fight with pianist Grigorieva made headlines in 2010 when it was alleged that Gibson was violent towards her. Leaked audio of their fight and a series of restraining orders between the two ensued. The case of Humanity vs. Gibson remains unsettled.

Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey

It makes sense that a couple of goofballs would find love with one another, but McCarthy and Carrey's five-year relationship ended in 2010. McCarthy used Carrey's Hollywood clout to advance her dangerous anti-vaccination propaganda, and shortly after their breakup, Carrey made a very creepy video message to Emma Stone about the babies they could have together. Carrey is still seeking his third marriage.

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian

There have been unions in Hell that are less destructive than the ego spiral that is the union of Kanye and Kim. While the relationship itself seems to lack any real turbulence, it's only because people who love themselves so much can't possibly be paying enough attention to the other to be aware of any problems between them. Lately, after Kanye's mental breakdown, it seems that cracks are finally starting to show in their relationship as rumors of Kim wanting a divorce are circulating. In a perfect world, the cultural black hole that they represent will suck them both in and destroy any evidence that they ever existed.

Chris Brown & Rihanna

There's no redeeming Chris Brown for his offenses against Rihanna. A convicted felon, Brown's violent beating of Rihanna made headlines in 2009 and was reason enough for the UK to deny him a visa for his international tour. Brown was subject to a restraining order at the time that he got a tattoo on his neck that looks a half-dead Rihanna. Lately, the two have been in communication with Rihanna saying that it's hard for her to date other men when Chris is a constant presence in her life. Sounds like a modern day Ike & Tina Turner.

Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter

For thirteen years, Burton and Carter seemed to have the perfect relationship. Burton filmed a series of successful movies, while Carter appeared in eight of them. While we don't know why the couple split after having two children, one can imagine that the stress of engaging in a constant weird-off would be exhausting for the two. For what it's worth, Carter won. It's hard to beat a living Victorian ragdoll.

Lisa Marie Presley & Anyone

Being the daughter of Elvis must really scramble your brains, and Presley's four weird marriages agree. She married Michael Jackson in what was perceived to be a stunt to distract from accusations of child molestation levied against him. Later, she'd also break off a different engagement after meeting Nic Cage at a party, and file for divorce from him a few months later. While currently married, there's no telling if her collection of famous weirdos will grow.

Sean Penn & Madonna

Notable madman Sean Penn isn't just violent against the mediahe's also violent towards women. Penn, who was dating Madonna in 1987, grew enraged regarding Madonna's relationship with Warren Beatty, and decided to tie her up and assault her for nine hours. Penn evaded prison when Madonna decided not to press charges and have the terrible event put on display. Penn is now outspoken in favor of social causes, but he has a very dark history.

Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose

Most people didn't know who Amber Rose was before Kim Kardashian started jealously insulting her, but Rose's contentious divorce from Khalifa made itself very public on Twitter, and even more recently, in song. Very classy to dig up your son's mother's past as a stripper, Wiz. May we call you Wiz?

Kid Rock & Pamela Anderson

On-again, off-again Kid and Pam split for good in 2006 after Rock reportedly became enraged over Anderson's appearance in Borat (2006), but Rock was quick to elaborate on his perception that Pam was a "psycho" and an "attention whore" who'd do anything to get a headline. Whenever you see Rock in animal-skin clothing, it's a not-so-subtle middle finger to Pam's animal rights activism.

Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne

Back in the day, Ozzy and Sharon admittedly beat each other senseless. Coupled with Ozzy's substance abuse issues, this violence should have put an end to their marriage, but it didn't. Sharon even forgave Ozzy for cheating recently when everyone thought they were headed towards divorce. They're still going strong and are one of the most dysfunctional couples in Hollywood.

Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger

It's what happened after the demise of their eight-year marriage that showed the full extent of dysfunction in this relationship. After splitting up, Kim reportedly leaked a tape of Alec yelling at his daughter, an act that led to Alec calling the actress unstable and irrational.

Eminem & Kim Mathers

After rapping about Kim's drug addiction and even murdering her once in a song, Eminem has publicly flaunted the issues in this relationship. Their on again, off again relationship is the stuff of tabloids. It's almost like a real life soap opera.

Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown

It didn't take long for Bobby to pull Whitney down in the mud with him. The star, who had a lengthy criminal and drug record when they met, soon left Whitney bruised, battered, and addicted to cocaine. Sadly Whitney passed away after years of drug abuse.

Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee

Married just 96 hours after meeting, this Hollywood couple aired their dirty laundry by shooting and selling their very own sex tape. They've been married and divorced three times in total. This being Pam's second time on the list, it's clear that either she has bad taste in men or she is a drama queen.

Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson

Their fights were highly publicized in the tabloids as were their breakup tweets to each other. For the short time they were together, this relationship was extremely volatile and dysfunctional.

Jon & Kate Gosselin

As if eight kids weren't enough to cause dysfunction, Kate's shrill, controlling ways and Jon's cheating left us all wondering who to feel sorry for.
