You probably know this Austin Power star as a funny person, but you can't say the same when the cameras are pointed away from him. He has had clashes with his directors and co-actors regarding creativity.

Amy Hill also confirmed that Myers could keep the crew for hours and even demand snacks on set. As expected, he hasn't had as many jobs as he might have because of this.

3. Adam Levine

Adam is a renowned musician in the Maroon 5 band with a series of praises on his social media for his success.

You wouldn't think such a singer with a huge following would have people wishing him misery. But who wouldn't after he often insulted fans, fetishized black women, and commented harshly about underage girls?

Tobey is a popular actor, especially for his role as Spider-Man. While Spider-Man is generally friendly, not the same can be said for Tobey. He offered Molly Bloom a thousand dollars to bark like a seal for $1,000. When she refused, Tobey meanly asked her if she had become too rich to sound like a seal for a thousand bucks.

Having Ellen on the list of mean celebrities is quite ironic, considering she was once seen as one of the kindest talk show hosts. The discussion about her meanness first sparkled when comedian Kevin Potter tweeted that Ellen is rude. The allegations could have ended just like Ellen's show, but not after further investigations into her employees' claims against her.

Some accusations blew her cover completely, saying how mean she was to background performers, addressing them as cockroaches.

13. Katherine Heigl
