Top 5 Celebrity Douchebag Recoveries

In light of Chris Brown exposing himself as a girlfriend-beating douchebag, I thought I'd put together the top 5 celebrities that were once considered douchebags, but put together miraculous PR blitzes to save their reputations. Magic of their PR firms in hiding their douchebag-ness, or were they just misunderstood from the beginning?


1. Alec Baldwin

Leaked voicemail left for his 10-year old daughter one year. Following couple of years, the movie star morphes himself into a TV star on 30 Rock, boosted by the year of Tina Fey, top that off with bringing said daughter to SAG awards and voila - no more douchebag-ness.


2. Kevin Federline

He looked like a greasy rat. Literally. What court would give this douchebag custody rights, you'd think. But did he ever look like the perfect daddy when Britney fell off her rocker, shaved her head and spiral downhill so fast she was suicide candidate #1.

3. Mickey Rourke


Still looks like a douchebag. Sounds like a douchebag. I'd put money on that he smells like a douchebag. But he must NOT be a douchebag if he won a Golden Globe and is nominated for an Oscar, right? Right?


4. Tom Cruise

OK, he didn't really have the douchebag image problem. More like the crazy koo-koo image problem. Nonetheless, he clearly realized that hiring his sister as his PR manager was a big mistake. Hide your true self behind closed doors, Tom. Your new PR agent making you do the rounds and smile your big smile in promoting your Nazi movie is doing you wonders. This is the Tom Cruise the public fell in love with.


5. Celebrity douchebags that need new PR agents
I couldn't think of any others that have recovered. But maybe the following people can take some hints from the above 4 guys and either REALLY get their act together, or get their PR agents to spin some magic: Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt (because I have no idea why these 2 people walk around like they're famous and I wish their 15 minutes would go away), Sean Avery (because he should just stay quiet like all good hockey players), Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson, Criss Angel.
