John Ashcroft. Anyone who would want Clarence Thomas to anoint him with cooking oil has got to be out of his bloody skull.
Never mind David. His brother Alexis is the real weirdo in that family.
I can’t get that site to load. Yeah, I’d say Crispin Glover, Johnny Depp, Cyndi Lauper, Keith Richards and Little Richard need to be up there among many others. I’m curious why Penny Marshall is considered to be weird. Does anyone know?
acrossthesea – according to the link in the OP, she’s somewhat agoraphobic and doesn’t like having people watch her eat.
I’ve heard nothing weird about his personal life. Share, please!
My additions, living and dead, to the list:
Nicholas Cage
Elvis Presley, and his daughter
Wayne Newton
Liberace
I’m sure there are more extra-wierd celebrities. You could probably have a harder time making a list of “Normal” celebrities.
By the by - apparently Johnny Depp is a pretty normal family man now, according to the most recent interviews. People can change, and sometimes even for the better.
Crispin Glover was the first to come to mind. I wish he was in more movies, certainly with his martial arts skills he could have been in “kill bill?”
Prince is pretty out there too, although with all that weirdness, he writes really good middle of the road pop songs.
Angelina Jolie Is it just me or is she trying to shake the freakshow image?
BillyBob Thornton He’s good stuff. The two of them together had some great weirdo synergy.
Please… do tell…
or provide a link?
Smith has got a DVD out called An Evening with Kevin Smith, which comprises bits from his college lecture tours. He tells the story of how he tried to make a documentary about Prince and how it utterly failed because Prince was such a freak.
This review hints at what he had to go through.
The Pope
My nominations are not to be taken as professional judgments
I think that we should differentiate between people who are weird celebrities, and weird people who just happen to be famous.
…like the Pope…
…er, like the Pope!
What, no mention of “Weird” Al Yankovic?
Admittedly, Weird Al is actually pretty cool and down-to-earth, compared to most celebrities. I would kill to meet him.
That boxing promoter with the Troll like hair. That alone should be nominated under the What’s up with that? title.
Shirley, you mean Don King?
Don King, that sounds right. He’s scary beyond words.
The hair is an attention getter, but I wouldn’t call him weird. Don King is just a pure straight up hustler. Fast talking, slick, and crooked as the day is long.
He comes across as disarmingly charming in public to lure people in, but the man was a criminal before his boxing promoting days.
I don’t know how accurate the facts in the cable biopic about him, Only In America, was; but it showed how the man can be fascinating, charming, and dangerous all wrapped up in one funny haired package.
I nominate:
Carrot Top. His humor is well…not even funny and he is scary looking!!
Crispen Glover
Mike Tyson
Mariln Manson
Ozzie Ozborn
Kelly Ozborn
Jack Osborn
Moon Unit Zappa
If I’m permitted to branch out to sporting personalities:
Randy Moss (Minn Vikings)
Coach of Tampa Bay Bucs - Gruden(?)
Jeremy Shockey (NY Giants)
The entire roster of the Boston Red Sox
Dusty Baker (Cubs)
Pete Weber (Pro bowler)
Well, I thought of three people when reading the title. Crispy Glover and Busey have already been mentioned.
I am suprised to see that no one has mentioned Amanda Plummer. That lady is a bone-fide fruitcake.
