Three months after Amy Winehouse’s tragic passing in 2011, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burkta, hosted a Halloween party and featured a buffet platter assembled to look like the singer’s corpse.

The How I Met Your Mother actor apologized for the incident in 2022 when photos of the platter resurfaced on social media.

"It was regrettable then, and it remains regrettable now," he told Entertainment Weekly.

“Amy Winehouse was a once-in-a-generation talent, and I'm sorry for any hurt this image caused."

Sandra’s former husband, Jesse James, was exposed as a cheater after she won an Oscar for the 2009 film The Blind Side. Several women came forward at the time, claiming they had had an affair with the entrepreneur.

"Yeah, I did cheat on my wife," Jesse admitted to The Daily Mail in 2017. "I stood up and took accountability for it and apologized. And that's the end of the story.

“I think it was having 50 or 60 or paparazzi outside my house for five or six months,” he recalled. "That was not a good feeling."

Sandra and Jesse started the process of adopting a son, Louis, before the scandal, but she finalized the adoption alone after filing for divorce.

Dubbed the “golden couple” by the British press, Kenneth and Emma married in 1989 and worked together on several films, including Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing.

In 1995, the pair announced their separation. While they initially cited work schedules as the cause of the split, it was later revealed that Kenneth had an affair with Helena Bonham Carter.

Kenneth and Helena worked together on the 1994 film Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and began dating publicly following his divorce from Thompson.

“I was utterly, utterly blind to the fact that he had relationships with other women on set,” Emma said in 2022.

“What I learned was how easy it is to be blinded by your own desire to deceive yourself.”

Angelina kissed her brother James on the lips after winning her first Oscar for Girl, Interrupted. 

"I’m so in love with my brother right now,” she said during her acceptance speech. “He just held me and said he loved me, and I know he’s so happy for me. And, um, thank you for that.”

When asked about the controversial moment during an interview with People, Angelina said, “We’re the best of friends. And it wasn’t some odd open-mouthed kiss. It was disappointing that something so beautiful and pure could be turned into a circus.”

Angelina and her older brother have kissed on other occasions.

In 1991, the Mad Men actor was charged with assault after participating in a violent group attack at the University of Texas-Austin.

The victim, a Sigma Nu pledge named Mark Allen Sanders, claims that Jon and six other fraternity men beat him, shoved his face in the dirt, lit his pants on fire, and led him around “with the claw of a hammer beneath his genitals.”

The pledge mentioned that Jon participated “till the very end."

The lawsuit was ultimately dropped in 1993.

When Jon addressed the incident during an 2018 interview with Esquire, he referred to it as a “bummer” and said it had been “sensationalized.”

In a leaked voicemail, Alec called his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, a "rude, thoughtless little pig” for not answering his call at the time they had arranged.

Alec made the shocking comments amid his bitter divorce and custody battle with Kim Basinger.

In 2019, Ireland joked about the incident when she took to the stage during her father’s Comedy Central Roast.

“Dad, I’m Ireland,” the model introduced herself to the 30 Rock actor. “I almost didn’t even know about it, because I haven’t checked my voicemails for the last 12 years.

“Mission: Impossible is what I call getting my dad to apologize,” she added.

In 1987, Jennifer and her then-boyfriend, actor Matthew Broderick, were involved in a car crash in Northern Ireland that killed a mother and daughter. 

Matthew, who was at the wheel of a rented BMW, crossed into the wrong lane and collided with a Volvo driven by the two women. He was convicted of careless driving and fined $175. 

The crash took place weeks before Jennifer’s iconic film, Dirty Dancing, was released in theaters.

In 2022, the actress described the car accident as the most traumatic experience of her life. “[Matthew] was a great driver, and nobody was drinking. It was just an accident. And it was tragic, and I think about the family in Ireland all the time."
