While most celebs just dress like they’re homeless (although I hear it’s called “Boho Chic”), some of them actually used to be homeless. And really, aren’t those are favorite ones? We love hearing stories about someone who had to work their way out of the gutter to fight for their fame. It's just a little easier to respect someone who had to work hard to get where they are rather than inheriting their status and then becoming a reality star.

Also, we can all probably relate to their stories a little more. To celebrate the spirit of hard work and perseverance, we’re rounding up our favorite celebrities who used to be homeless.

Halle Berry: When Halle Berry left home for Hollywood, her mother did not approve. After being cut off, Mama Berry gave her daughter two choices: come home or find a way to make it. Berry chose the latter, and while she ultimately succeeded, part of her journey included a stint in a homeless shelter. It was probably hell, but it was worth it.
Some of our favorite stars spent years studying the art of acting—educating themselves onstage to perfect their craft. But for a select few, they got a break and decided to get the hell out of high school as fast as possible.

Most high school dropouts don't have much luck at finding a stable career path, but the entertainment industry is a totally different thing. It's a gamble, but if you get lucky, you can have a million dollar career with only a sixth grade education.

Here are 10 celebrity dropouts. But don't get delusional kids—stay in school.

Tracy Morgan: Why doesn't this surprise me? Tracy Morgan is funny, but part of his whole shtick is sounding dumb. "I'm glad I dropped out of high school, man. I wouldn’t be where I’m at. I would have had a net. I’m glad I didn’t have anything to fall back on, man, because that made me go for my dreams that much harder.”

I've been having nightmares about Jim Carrey ever since he released that video of him professing his love for Emma Stone. Everyone else seemed to be, too, because now Carrey is offering an explanation.

He took to Twitter to address the video:

"Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything I said is tru. People often ask me if I'm being funny or serious. The answer is 'YES'. ?;^]"

So basically, he wants to hit on someone half his age but also wants to hide it under the guise of being a joke.

Gross. I love Jim Carrey, but he might have just gone from adorable comedian to creepy old man.

The 49 year-old actor uploaded a video on his website professing his love for 22 year-old Emma Stone:

"Emma, I think you're all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but smart and kind-hearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you," Carrey says. "We would have chubby little freckle-faced kids, we'd laugh all day long, go camping and play Yahtzee. Tell ghost stories by the fire."

Woohoo! I'm trending on Twitter! Oh, wait, no, I'm dead.

This morning subjected us to yet another celebrity death hoax. Tuesday night, both Facebook and Twitter were buzzing with the news of Jackie Chan's death. Again.

Good news, Chan is alive and well. Well, most likely. There's been no update to his Facebook or Twitter page since Tuesday, and his reps have not responded to the claims. Probably because they can't keep up with them. Chan was rumored to be dead back in March as well.

Chan is definitely not the first subject of celebrity death hoaxes. In fact, it's been a pretty busy year for them. Here are 10 celebs you might have thought died in 2011.

Hilary Duff: Reports of Hilary's death surfaced on August 11. She apparently fell off of a cliff at a golf course in New Zealand. Well, that's creative.

I wish I could tell people the reason for my awful haircut is that I’m getting into character, but I don’t see that working.

Celebs, on the other hand, have the luxury of blaming their changing looks on the colorful roles they take on. And because stars are called out for every flaw, sometimes getting a bad haircut—or even shaving it all off—can be liberating. Other times, it leaves them feeling like the lead singer of a 90s punk band, and they opt for extensions. Here are 10 celebs and the bad haircuts they got for movie roles.

Natalie Portman: When Natalie Portman was filming V for Vendetta, her long, beautiful locks were chopped off during filming. In a single shot, the one-take-wonder had her natural hair shaved-off while the cameras were rolling, and she was in character crying.

Javier Bardem: Javier Bardem’s Dora The Explorer haircut in No Country for Old Men was so bad, it left the actor depressed.

Costar Josh Brolin claimed: “[Javier] was depressed during the process…he felt like he wouldn’t have sex for three months. Full-blown depression. I mean, bad.”

Jim Carrey is hilarious on screen, but in real life, he’s kind of a downer. Jim has opened up about his failed relationship with Jenny McCarthy and his fear over being “erased” from her memory.

Jim and Jenny dated for over five years before splitting in 2010. And now that Jenny has moved on, Jim feels lonelier than ever.

He said: "I've been erased and I know what it's like to erase someone. You know the feeling when you loved somebody and it ends and you feel as if they've moved on or maybe even none of it ever mattered? It's a terrible feeling...
If Jim Carey has an "off" button, it broke a long time ago. According to MTV producer Jane Mun, Carey has his usual antics planned for this year's MTV Movie Awards.

"Jim Carey is the most-nominated MTV Movie Awards star," Mun said.

"Jim Carey always comes to play. And he will be playing this Sunday!"

When Hollyscoop talked to famed psychiatrist Dr. Sophy, he told us, “Bipolar is something you’re born with. Stress brings it out, but it doesn’t cause it.”

Between dispelling rumors, working on several projects, and wondering who they can trust among their circle, it’s safe to say celebs are, more often than not, under a great deal of stress. Sure, they’ve got ways of coping—their multimillion dollar homes, exclusive club memberships, the ability to take off to St. Bart’s whenever they want…what was my point again?

Ok, so they’ve got pretty cushy lifestyles. But most celebrities have gotten to where they’re at by being determined and hard-working, and that’s a quality that welcomes stress. So if you’re bipolar, and you’re dealing with all that stress, you’re probably going to have a meltdown. Charlie Sheen, anyone? Duh, #manic depression.

Jim Carrey is dating a model! Hey, if you can’t have Jenny McCarthy, that’s not a bad second choice!

Rumor has it Jim is dipping into the younger market and dating 24-year old model Anchal Joseph, who was a contestant on America’s Next Top Model in 2006.

Jim has been single since his split from Jenny in April, while she’s been dating up a storm! So it’s nice to see he’s caught up! But who knows if this is serious with the model chick, since last week Jim was spotted catching a show in Union Square with a mystery blonde.

A source says, “Carrey's assistant called the theatre to ensure security would be top-notch and no one was to approach him for pictures.

“They were very romantic and there was lots of hand-holding.”

I just cannot picture this guy being romantic in any way shape or form. Hilarious, yes. Romantic, hell no. But I’m happy for him regardless! Sounds like he’s having himself some fun!
