Robin Thicke, Richie Incognito, Michael Douglas

Robin Thicke is desperately trying to win back estranged wife Paula Patton, who recently dumped him after becoming fed up with his constant flirting and alleged cheating. The singer was regularly seen flirting with his female fans, and was photographed sneaking his hand up the back of a blonde’s miniskirt. But it was Thicke’s now-notorious MTV performance with Miley Cyrus that really broke the couple’s nine-year marriage, said TMZ.com. Patton felt “utterly disrespected” when Cyrus and her husband dry-humped in front of millions of viewers. Since the couple separated two weeks ago, Thicke has bombarded Patton with flowers. “Me and my wife separated, but I’m trying to get my girl back,” he told concertgoers last week, launching into “Lost Without U.”

Former Miami Dolphin Richie Incognito has been hospitalized in an Arizona psychiatric facility after smashing up his $300,000 black Ferrari with a baseball bat. Former teammates and friends tell The Miami-Herald that the offensive lineman had engaged in paranoid rantings and heavy drinking, and experienced wild mood swings after an NFL report found that he and other Dolphins had severely bullied teammate Jonathan Martin last season. Published photos showed Incognito’s car with several dents in its hood and part of a baseball bat sticking out of the grille. Incognito admitted he smashed up the car, but said that he was just “venting” and that the incident was “self-expression.” But former teammate Brett Romberg said he was “terrified that [Incognito] might go about doing something really, really, really bad to himself.”
