Celebrities lead a luxurious life, no doubt, but always in the public eye, they are scrutinised for even the minutest of their acts and behaviour patterns.

Owing to their eccentricity, some of them even get banned from other countries, despite their stardom -- more so, in Hollywood, where shit gets really serious.

For example, Justin Bieber's mistake led to his ban in Argentina, while Selena Gomez was banned in Russia over her support for gay rights.
