An hour doesn't go by without a celebrity acting out in some way to attract the attention of the media, fans, and rival celebrities. The audience loves it when
celebrities engage in bizarre behavior, such as dressing in drag, making presidential run jokes, or tearing down the self-esteem of their adolescent fans on social media. We don't understand why celebrities, who likely have teams of people working to create outrageous marketing tricks to keep them in the headlines, take such cheap shots at each other and their fans. There are many crazy
ways Celebrities Did To Grab Attention.
Maybe they'll do everything to stay in the public eye because they know that every photo like and link shared means hundreds of thousands of dollars in their pocket. Maybe the vast majority of A-listers are so clingy and insecure that they can't function if they're not the focus of everyone's attention. All news appears to be good press, whether it be about contrived
Twitter feuds, nude
photos, or laughable
performances. These
Crazy Ways Celebrities Get Attention are surprising. 1. Lady Gaga

We've all seen Lady Gaga's artistic and slightly strange fashion sense. A woman vomited on her during her South by Southwest performance, worse than her non-perishable meat attire or Grammy's entrance in an Easter egg. Millie Brown, a vomit artist, swallowed green liquid onstage before puking on Lady Gaga's chest. This act's message was ambiguous, and fans and celebrities accused Gaga of glamorizing eating disorders.
2. Madonna

Remember Madonna's rapping? She was once the pop queen, but now she's the queen of age-inappropriate pranks. Doesn't she realize she's Madonna and that attention-seeking is unnecessary? Last year, she pushed her tongue in Drake's mouth during a performance, resulting in controversy over their age difference and his evident discomfort after the extremely extended tonguing. Madonna believed these claims and said Drake kissed like a girl. Anyhow.
3. Kanye West

Do you know Kanye West's wildest attention-seeking moment? It's hard to pick one example from so many. After he famously stopped Mike Myers on live TV to accuse then-President Bush of disliking black people and then interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to promote Beyonce, it seemed impossible he could shock the audience again. Mistake. Kanye startled us by announcing his 2020 presidential run at the VMAs. We may think he won't run, but didn't we think about Donald Trump? West's debt should prevent him from buying votes.
4. Miley Cyrus

Miley always comes up with new, hyper-sexual methods to catch our attention. Her nipple bra and prosthetic penis are attention-getters but not the weirdest. At a recent London show, she entered on a slide depicting her tongue bursting out of her face. She later performed with an inflatable duplicate of her late dog, Floyd.
5. Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey doesn't hold back when trying to get attention. Carey has done everything to stay in the spotlight, from causing a scene at the presidential inauguration to inciting catfights on live TV. Since social media is a big marketing element these days, it's hardly surprising that Mariah opted to hop on the subway in New York for a photo op. She caught everyone's attention and filmed her metro ride, which she shared on social media.
6. Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj's diva behavior on the set of Barbershop: The Next Cut recently made headlines. She can't stand next to just anyone. But even that doesn't beat the VMAs stunt she executed, calling out host Miley Cyrus for something she purportedly said about Minaj days previously. While Cyrus kept her calm on live TV, everyone talked about it for days. Minaj received the attention she wanted with her diva moment or marketing stunt.
7. Kim Kardashian

Kim K shares a fresh half-naked photo on Instagram every few weeks or is featured nude in a magazine. Her latest attention-seeking stunt involves selfies stating she has nothing to wear. She drew wrath from the press and other celebrities for not explaining her sexuality. Kim followed husband Kanye West's lead and defended her decision to be photographed often sans clothes on Twitter. What more can she do?
8. James Franco

James Franco gets news by being
funny. His most memorable attention-seeking moments have been dressed in drag while presenting the Oscars and on the cover of Candy magazine. Franco, who considers himself an artist, often portrays himself as a lady in his artwork. Despite being ridiculed for his strange photos and paintings, he still wears a bra and wig. He sells his art for charity.
