It seemed there were more scandals, affairs and meltdowns among the rich and famous than usual in 2010. Luckily, there are still a few stars who shouldn't expect lumps of coal in their stockings this year. See which celebrities made Santa's naughty list, and which ones restored our faith in famous folks.
Nice
Renee Zellweger
Celebrities and the paparazzi usually have an antagonistic relationship, but when Renee Zellweger was in a Santa Monica Starbucks on March 11, a paparazzo noticed her parking meter was about to expire, and slipped a few coins into it. When the Bridget Jones star came out and saw what he did, she popped back into Starbucks and returned with a $100 gift card. According to Us Weekly, the note attached read, "Wow. Thank you so much for the kindness. Warmly, with gratitude, Renee!"
Brandy
Brandy has been keeping a low profile, but her turn on Dancing with the Stars brought her back into the spotlight. The singer/actress used her renewed fame to raise money for 16-year-old Jessica Harris, who suffers from a congenital heart defect. Brandy flew Harris and her family, who live in her hometown of Mc-Comb, Mississippi, to Hollywood for a taping of DWTS. Brandy then appeared on Entertainment Tonight with Harris to promote a website dedicated to raising funds for a heart transplant for the uninsured girl.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock's year has been a roller-coaster of highs and lows. She started off on top, winning a slew of awards for her role in The Blind Side.
Bullock won an Oscar. But weeks after her big victory, her personal life exploded as allegations surfaced that husband Jesse James had cheated on her. Bullock not only managed to navigate the ensuing scandal with dignity and grace, she even kept a huge secret in the middle of the most scrutinized period of her life: She had adopted a little boy, Louis Bardo, and waited to break the news on her own time-line. While accepting the Generation Award at July's MTV Movie Awards, Bullock even managed to laugh about her personal dramas, saying, "Whoever established the high road, and how high it was going to be, should be fired."
Oprah
Oprah doesn't just give away cool stuff to members of her audience. In November, the New York Post reported that Oprah was sitting in her limo outside NYC's Soho House when a man approached and offered to tell her a joke. She liked so much, she gave him $100. The joke: "Why is it good to date a homeless man? Because when you're finished, you can drop him off anywhere!"
Justin Timberlake
Speaking of Oprah, the talk-show host made one woman's dream come true when she received a letter from a mother in Louisville, Kentucky, that detailed her daughter Julie's obsession with Justin Timberlake. Oprah enlisted Julie's fiance to help surprise her with golf lessons -- and the instructor ended up being Timberlake. The singer/ actor not only showed Julie the ropes, he also gave her and her fiance a set of his-and-her clubs and inivited them to be his guests at the opening of his Tennessee golf course, Mirimichi.
Naughty
Mel Gibson
Remember when Mel Gibson was picked up for drunk driving in 2006 and unleashed an expletive-laden, anti-Semitic rant on the arresting officers? That seems downright tame compared to the onslaught of leaked audio tapes that hit the web this year, in which Gibson verbally abuses ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, including, "I will bury you in the rose garden." The tapes cost him his agent, his cameo in The Hangover 2 and possibly his career.
Charlie Sheen
Welcome back to the naughty list, Charlie Sheen. After celebrating last Christmas in jail after being arrested on domestic violence allegations, Sheen once again made headlines by going on an allegedly cocaine-fuelled rampage at New York's Plaza Hotel in October. Porn star Capri Anderson, who was with the actor at the time, claimed she locked herself in a hotel bathroom while Sheen raged, yelled racial slurs and threatened to kill her.
John Mayer
John Mayer has never shied away from oversharing, but he stooped to new lows in an interview in Playboy's March issue, saying of ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson, "That girl is like crack cocaine to me... Sexually, it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm." He also said that he didn't sleep with black women and described his penis as "sort of like a white supremacist." For her part, Simpson declared, "He'll never have this napalm again."
Lindsay Lohan
It was another year filled with court appearances and jail stints for troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. In April, she missed two court hearings and questions were raised about her attendance at probation-mandated AA meetings. The rest of the year was filled with excuses from the starlet (she missed a drug test because her passport was "stolen," her bail was doubled after her alcohol-monitoring bracelet went off at an MTV Awards party), until she was finally sentenced to 90 days in jail in July.
During her sentencing hearing, she was photographed with the phrase "F-- U" stencilled onto her nail polish, which she later claimed was "a joke."
Jesse James
When allegations were made public that Sandra Bullock's hubby Jesse James was cheating on her, salacious details pouring in about James' tattooed mistress, kinky nicknames and Nazi-saluting poses. Humiliating America's sweetheart is a surefire way to get on Santa's naughty list.
