Worst Celebrity Self-Promotion: Corey Haim.

In February, the high-maintenance Haimster placed an ad in Variety indicating his willingness to “make amends” in Hollywood. The AdFreak readership included some vocal Haim backers, one of whom meant well when he wrote: “Producers are crazy to not put you in a roll.”


Biggest Celebrity Sellout: Johnny Rotten.

This could have gone to Ed McMahon as well, but John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, takes the prize with a Country Life butter commercial out of the U.K.
