7. Paula Abdul
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqFxSK4sVl0 Here's one instance of a famous person who appeared on TV completely battered out of the mind that actually hit headlines as a result, and that's Paula Abdul after her bizarre turn on the Joe and Dylan show, clearly inebriated beyond words as she mixes her words up at every opportunity, slurs, and basically can't seem to sit straight or maintain a focus on anything. Given she had been previously accused of having substance abuse problems - for her odd movements and bizarre language on the likes of American Idol - this strange segment did little to help that. Her hilarious impression of Simon Cowell proves the most entertaining moment, but really, all it makes one wonder is how on Earth someone saw her state and thought it would be sensible to put her in front of a camera. Nevertheless, it has become a classic moment of the YouTube age.
