It was a long year for Hollywood celebrities, who marked another year with meltdown after meltdown, losing their wits over everything from the nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the migrant caravans of illegal aliens pouring into the U.S.
Below are the 17 best (or worst) Hollywood meltdowns of 2018.

Pop icon and left-wing activist Cher caused controversy in April after she called President Trump a “cancer.”
“Trump’s a Cancer Ravaging Our Nation. He’s a Malignant Tumor Eating Its Way Through Our Constitution, Our Honor,& Our Standing In The [World],” she said.
“He’d Gut The 1st Amendment If He Could, 2 Stop Americans Right 2 a Free Press. He’d Imprison Reporters, Until They Were Desperate Enough 2 Lie 4 Him.”
The 72-year-old later backtracked, saying that she went “too far.” However, she did not directly apologize to Trump, saying instead, “This Is Not An Apology….Its a Reprimand.”
I Say What I feel,But There’s a Responsibility That Goes With That.I Walk Knifes Edge,But Sometimes It’s Too far.This Is Not An Apology….Its a Reprimand. Just Because I CAN SAY ANYTHING…Doesn’t Mean I SHOULD. Sometimes I Learn The Hard Way,Over & Over.

During a public appearance in November, actor Jim Carrey blasted the Republican Party in shocking terms, comparing the GOP to rapists.
“These are not people you can deal with. You cannot be bipartisan with a criminal. A rapist needs to be removed, not negotiated with. These people are raping our system, they’re destroying it right in front of us,” he said.
“Trump is a melanoma, and anybody that covers for him, including Sarah Sanders, is putting makeup on it. It shows that there’s a deeper problem in this country, and that problem is greed,” the Dumb and Dumber actor also said.
4. Rihanna: America Committed ‘Terrorism’ By Defending Border

Anne Hathaway joined Rihanna in her unhinged reaction to federal defending the southern border in November.
“My country gassed children. There are no words for my horror,” Hathaway said.
She continued, “To those who will immediately speak of ‘doing it the right way’, who will ‘blame the parents for putting the children in this position’, or say ‘they were storming the wall’, and ‘they were throwing rocks’: the only human response to this monstrous use of force against LEGAL asylum seekers- against children- is condemnation, shame, and rage. For those that still believe in voting for the man who recommended using lethal force on families fleeing violence and persecution: this is the policy you like?”
6. Amy Schumer Posts Video of Herself Vomiting, Attacks Cindy Hyde-Smith’s ‘Tiny Racist Teeth’

The I Feel Pretty actress accompanied this post with a video of herself vomiting in a car.

The debate is over. Soon we will have proof he is a Nazi supported by the Russians,” Judd Apatow said in a social media post in response to comedian Kumail Nanjiani.

The 49-year-old comedian later apologized, saying, “I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”

Comedian Michelle Wolf caused quite a stir when she hosted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
She was criticized by many for her jokes about Sarah Sanders. Wolf joked, “I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. Like she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye.”
“Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies … It’s probably lies.”
The jokester also said that she wanted to see CNN’s Jake Tapper have an orgasm.
“I know there’s a lot of people that want me to talk about Russia and Putin and collusion, but I’m not going to do that, because there’s also a lot of liberal media here, and I’ve never really want to know what any of you look like when you orgasm,” she said.
“Except for maybe you, Jake Tapper,” she said, then imitated him making a plain face.
