Come On LeBron, L’eggo That Ego: The All-Time Top 10 Male Divas

Did LeBron James need an hour-long prime time television event to clue the world in on his decision? Absolutely not. But that's what divas do. After all, this is the man who refers to himself as king and whose ego has grown so large it started its own Twitter feed. Even his announcement was diva-ish, "I'm taking my talents to ... South Beach," he said. MORE

Ah, Kanye &mdash the ultimate sore loser. In fact, when it comes to awards shows, West could have a full highlight reel. The ridiculous glasses wearing, hip hop star has been asserting his diva-tude long before the now infamous tswift incident.



First there was the 2004 American Music Awards where he threw a tantrum and ... claimed he was "robbed" when he didn't win the award for best new artist. Then there was the lead up to the 2005 Grammy Awards when Kanye said, "If I don't win Album of the Year, I'm gonna really have a problem with that." He didn't win.



After that, Kanye's outbursts just kept getting more outrageous. Remember the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards? Despite having won the award for best hip hop artist earlier in the evening, West stormed the stage in a green-eyed rage when he failed to win the award for best video. In a high-pitched, divalicious voice, he squeaked, "This video cost a million dollars. I had Pam Anderson. I go jumping over canyons and s___. If I don't win, the award show loses credibility." And then again at an MTV Video Music Awards show (Tell me, why does MTV still invite him? Oh, right. Divas = ratings.) he took out his rage backstage at the 2007 show when he didn't get to perform on the main stage. Poor baby.

When you reach legendary status, you can pretty much get whatever you want. Prince's latest demand? A house in an arena, allegedly. According to the U.K's Daily Mail, Prince supposedly wants a five-bedroom house, built on the grounds of the O2 arena in London, to use as a home base every time he visits the city. Until then, he ... is staying nearby in a five-star hotel, where he has told staff members to "de-clutter" his room by removing furniture. He also reportedly demanded an "oxygen bar" for his entourage, and during a British awards ceremony he was rumored to ask those around him to avoid eye contact. But honestly — he's Prince. His name reflects his royal attitude, after all. Why deny him his diva demands? MORE

Hip-hop mogul Diddy is the definition of a diva. But he wouldn't have it any other way. From changing his name from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Diddy to reportedly employing a personal perfume sprayer to spritz his Sean John fragrance every 20 minutes, he's a man with demands - and an ego. But that's his brand, judging by the ... demands he puts on contestants on his show, I Want to Work for Diddy. He even has an executive umbrella assistant. Let's repeat that: an executive umbrella assistant. MORE

"You are trashing my scene," Bale yelled at a crew member on the set of Terminator: Salvation, in a rant that was ruined a scene by walking onto the set, and Bale wasn't having it. Bale's reps later blamed the meltdown on getting way too into character during an intense scene - which makes sense, since the Welsh actor speaks in a perfect American accent. Still, shouting profanities at staff members makes Bale seem like he thinks he's the most important thing on set. This isn't the first outburst we've seen from Bale - his mother and sister claimed he threatened to assault them in 2008.

Russell Crowe has played a fighter many times in his career. But we saw a different side of him when he got violent in real life. In 2005 Crowe was arrested for allegedly throwing a telephone at a hotel employee in New York City. He was apparently upset that he could not use his phone to connect to his wife, who was in ... Australia. The concierge clerk reportedly suffered lacerations and severe pain, and Crowe later said the incident was "shameful." Either way, people now steer clear when Crowe is anywhere near a telephone. MORE

John Edwards has seen his share of scandals recently. But one of the first had to do with maintaining his pretty-boy look. Back in 2007 reports surfaced that he expensed two $400 haircuts by celebrity stylist Joseph Torrenueva, which made him the butt of campaign jokes for months. Reportedly, Torrenueva was flown to meet him, ... which was a major source of the cost. Still, though, when you tout yourself as a populist champion, maybe you shouldn't fly out a personal hairstylist and expense it to your campaign. MORE

Divas like to take credit for things they couldn't have possibly done and hugely exaggerate their talents — and then brag about them. Case in point: Kim Jong-il. Let's just start with the fact that he is known as either the Dear Leader or Supreme Leader. Add on his claim last month that he invented an invisible phone so that ... he could counsel the country's soccer coach on the field at the world cup. Inventor of unbelievable technology and high-profile soccer coach — all in a days work. Oh, and who could forget the assertion that the very first time he played golf, he scored a 38-under par, which of course makes him the best golf player on the planet. MORE
