Celebrities are an interesting bunch. Some celebrities are content to slide under the radar while keeping out of the public spotlight. Others seem hell-bent on traveling down paths of self-destruction, which many believe will ultimately lead to a lengthy stint in jail – or worse. After polling an entertainment forum, for examples, these celebrities have shocked the world by staying out of trouble or simply staying alive!
1. Ozzy Osbourne
This legendary rocker is still going strong against all odds! As somebody who has dabbled in as many illegal drugs as Ozzy has, countless music fans are shocked that his heart still manages to function. Interestingly enough, according to one fan, his longevity has been such a hot topic of conversation that a team of doctors has vowed to investigate Ozzy – post-mortem!
1. Ozzy Osbourne
“There is literally a team of Cambridge doctors who are investigating how Ozzy is still alive,” the fan reports. “They've made arrangements with him to dissect and study his body after death.”
2. Chris Brown
The much-maligned musician found himself in legal and ethical hot water after allegations of abuse by his then-girlfriend Rihanna surfaced in 2009.Â

Based on Rihanna's allegations, music fans worldwide are still stunned that Chris Brown didn't end up behind bars for a long time. More than one person referenced Rihanna's photos taken after the alleged abuse, which is unsettling.
3. Bam Margera
The one-time star of MTV's Jackass TV series has reportedly hit rock bottom in recent years. The party lifestyle has caught up with Bam Margera, and people are bracing for bad news shortly. It's a sad state of affairs for somebody once on top of the entertainment world.
3. Bam Margera
According to one person who got to know Margera while in rehab, the former star “blames everybody but himself” for his recent misfortunes.
4. Andy Dick
Countless people are shocked that former Hollywood star Andy Dick hasn't died or gone to jail. The over-the-top comedian-turned-actor made a name for himself by pushing comedic boundaries.
4. Andy Dick
An endless stream of sexual assault allegations later in his life has thrown Andy Dick's career off track. His rap sheet is a mile long, and we're with the consensus: how is he still living a life outside of prison?
5. Every Member of Mötley Crüe
It's no secret that Mötley Crüe was the perfect picture of 1980s rock excess. They played hard and partied even harder, leading many people to wonder how they're all still alive in 2023.
5. Every Member of Mötley Crüe
Although most of Mötley Crüe suffered serious drug-related emergencies, they're all alive and well today. Many fans of the band will freely admit that this is shocking.
6. Bill Cosby
After being convicted of drugging a woman, Bill Cosby did spend three years in prison. However, as of 2021, the ex-TV star is free after serving his sentence.
6. Bill Cosby
People around the country are still outraged, as many believe he received nothing more than a “slap on the wrist” for his misdoings. Many also point to the fact that dozens of women have accused Cosby of drugging them, yet only one woman managed to avoid having the charges dismissed.
7. Gary Busey
One fan of the award-winning actor puts it plainly. “He's living proof that a human body can keep on moving long after the brain has been destroyed,” he states. In 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident.
7. Gary Busey
Gary Busey was not wearing a helmet in the accident and suffered permanent long-term brain damage. However, he's still alive and well over 35 years later.
8. O.J. Simpson
Of all the celebrities on this list, nobody is more polarizing than O.J. Simpson. After being acquitted of the 1994 murder of his ex-wife and her friend, many worldwide were shocked that he managed to avoid jail time, despite all evidence pointing to him.
8. O.J. Simpson
While O.J. Simpson eventually served time behind bars later in his life for stealing sports memorabilia, he was released from jail and is reasonably active on social media. Nevertheless, many still argue that he hasn't paid his debt to society.
9. Marilyn Manson
Despite having millions of fans, there is an outspoken minority who can't believe Manson hasn't been put behind bars for the rest of his life. “I made the mistake of reading his autobiography years ago,” one person confesses.
“It's almost 300 pages of him boasting about terrible things he's done in an ‘I'm such a weird artistic genius' fashion.”
9. Marilyn Manson
As far as his autobiography goes “I hate to think what his lawyers told him to leave out.” So add Manson to the list of celebrities. We wouldn't be surprised to be arrested in the next few years.
10. Keith RichardsÂ
Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones is no stranger to saying yes instead of no with substances known to kill a man. However, he's still kicking and touring.
10. Keith RichardsÂ
One quoted the late Robin Williams, “I know one day we will all be dead and gone, and it’ll be Keith Richards with five cockroaches.”
