This week was rocked (in the best way possible) by reports that queen of the bad girls, Kate Moss, had been ejected from an easyJet flight for drunk and disorderly conduct on her way home from Bodrum, Turkey, where friend Sadie Frost had just celebrated her 50th birthday. Apparently, the model was refused alcohol by the crew (she appeared to already be intoxicated) at which point she proceeded to pour a drink for herself from her own private vodka stash (two points for resourcefulness). After being asked to leave the plane and finally escorted off, Moss made sure the pilot knew what she thought, calling him a “basic bitch“on her way out. Oh, to be in the presence of this tour de badassery.
Bad girls have been dominating since back in the bible days (ahem, Eve?) and have proven time and time again to be infinitely more interesting than the good ones. What makes them so entertaining? Maybe its that they’ve got the balls to do what we’ve all wished we could do. Hey, when haven’t you wished you could throw a cell phone at your assistant? Kidding.
In honour of this latest celebrity bad girl outburst, we’re counting down 11 times famous gals went AWOL and we didn’t hate it one bit.

Winona Ryder Sentenced In Shoplifting Case
’90s cult queen Winona Ryder surprised us all when she was busted for stealing almost $5,000 worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills. Though it may never be clear why a successful Hollywood actress would need to steal in the first place, we will forever be on team #freewinona.
Bai Ling Shoplifting
Bai Ling was also made famous for employing the five finger discount. But despite making our bad girl list, Ling didn’t exactly have the guts to bring home anything big like Winona. She only picked up two copies of Star Magazine and a pack of batteries from shops inside LAX in 2008.
