Let’s get one thing straight, just because a celebrity gets into trouble with the law, it doesn’t automatically make him a Hollywood bad boy, it just makes him a criminal.
A Hollywood Bad Boy to me is a star who likes to walk on the wild side and isn’t ashamed of it. It’s a guy who shoots from the hip, spouts off about anything and typically gets more ass than a saddle.
Charlie Sheen, he’s probably the epitome of a Hollywood Bad Boy. He does what he wants, he parties like a rock star and he doesn’t give a fuck about what anyone has to say about it. Oh and yes, he’s still #winning.
Gary Busey, he’s a Hollywood Bad Boy, albeit a batshit crazy one.
Jude Law is another Hollywood Bad Boy, who loves carrying on as much as anyone else. He famously cheated on his lady Sienna Miller with his kids’ nanny! That’s bad boy business.
John Mayer, he’s another Hollywood bad boy, who has also shagged some of the hottest blonds in Hollywood, including Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Anniston and Cameron Diaz. The best part about Mayer is he loves to talk about it.
The list could go on, but I’d like to take a moment to describe what doesn’t make you a Hollywood Bad Boy. If you physically abuse a gorgeous singer like, say, Rhianna! And then, after being questioned about it on Good Morning America, you proceed to throw a hissy fit and trash the dressing room, that doesn’t make you a bad boy Chris Brown. That makes you an abusive hot head who hits women.
Chris Brown compared himself to Charlie Sheen in a tweet after he threw a temper tantrum on Good Morning America, he said “I’m so over people bringing this past shit up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bullshit.” If he was really bad ass, he wouldn’t have deleted that tweet. Sheen doesn’t take back anything he says.
First of all, Chris Brown is not on the level of Charlie Sheen. And as far as I know, Sheen never punched the lights out of Denise Richards or any of the goddesses he rolls with.
So as far as Hollywood Bad Boys go, this puts Chris Brown on the Fool Hollywood Bad Boy list right below Ike Turner and Joe Jackson, but just above O.J Simpson, no matter how well he dances or how bumping his music is. Chris Brown is what Sheen would call #losing.
It’s probably the worst image control I’ve seen in a long time. Instead of using the opportunity to show that he’s reformed, which would have actually made him a Hollywood Bad Boy, he shows that he’s the same hot head who threw hay-makers at Rhianna.
Brown should either fire his publicist or hire one.
It’s a simple formula: “I apologize for Violence/Drinking/Drugs I have truly changed, I have attended Anger Managment/AA/Rehab and I know I’m a new man because I found Jesus/Buddha/Allah/Scientology. I am truly blessed to be back singing/acting/playing sport”
All he had to do was check the appropriate fucking box and stick to the script.
