Ryan & Redmond O... These father-and-son turkeys have matching mugshots to display at their Thanksgiving table. The 67-year-old actor and his 23-year-old son were both arrested in September on drug-related charges. (Photo by Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department via Getty Images)
Miley Cyrus She's a top-selling singer, TV star and tween idol, but Miley is also a 2008 turkey. Who can forget the Vanity Fair photo shoot scandal, the Sweet 16 birthday party at Disneyland that cost fans $250 a pop, the mean girl YouTube video or the 20-year-old underwear model boyfriend?

"The Love Guru" For failing to bring back the "Austin Powers" magic, Mike Myers is a turkey and so was his big flop "The Love Guru." (Photo: Paramount)
Hugh Hefner Hef lost all three of his "Girls Next Door" to other men this season. But he just acquired a new set - including 19-year-old twins - so maybe the 82-year-old Playboy founder is not such a turkey after all? (Photo: Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images)
Brangelina/Anist... Angelina let it slip that she and Brad fell in love during the filming of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and Jen responded that this was "uncool." You know what would be really cool? If these turkeys could all just stop fluffing their feathers and keep quiet. (Aniston photo by C.J. LaFrance/Getty Images) (Brangelina photo by Dave Hogan/Getty Images)
John Mayer Although he and Aniston are a couple again, it's hard to believe she forgave him for blabbing all about their breakup to the paparazzi. This turkey needs to be stuffed - and have its mouth sewn shut! (Photo: Scott Gries / Getty Images)
Ashlee Simpson &... There are so many reasons these two could be turkeys - eyeliner, lip-syncing - but naming their firstborn son Bronx Mowgli is the best one. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian)
The Hogan Family The Hogan family's behavior over the past year - from the ugly divorce proceedings to Brooke's less-than-genius commentary on voting to the fallout over Nick's car accident - makes the entire family eligible for top turkey status. (AP Photo/Stuart Ramson)
The Brinkley-Coo... These exes are both turkeys for taking their divorce trial and all of its seamy details public. (Photo by Ed Betz/AP)
Raffaello Follie... Poor Anne Hathaway. In 2008 she found out what many had long suspected: her longtime boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was one big turkey. The con man pled guilty to wire fraud and money laundering and got stuffed in jail. (Photo by Evan Agostini/Getty Images)
David Blaine's '... For hyping what turned out to be one of the lamest stunts ever - hanging upside down for 60 hours straight with a break every hour to, um, stand up straight and recover - magician David Blaine is a grade A Butterball with all the trimmings. (AP Photo/Tina Fineberg)
Andy Dick Stick a fork in him, this turkey is done! The comedian's run-ins with the law would almost be comical - if they weren't so sad. An 'extremely intoxicated' Dick was arrested on drug and sexual battery charges in July for pulling a girl's top down in a restaurant parking lot.
Lindsay Lohan This turkey needs some tough love. After running her career off the rails in 2007 with various rehab stints and car accidents, LiLo had been attempting a comeback with a cameo on "Ugly Betty," which was well received... until Lindsay got the boot from the show amid rumors of bad behavior and a clash with star America Ferrera. (AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
Michael & Dina L... While we're at it, Mama and Papa Lohan are quite turkeylicious themselves. Despite prison and finding religion, LiLo's dad still can't keep his mouth shut - blabbing to the tabs about anything and everything Lindsay - and mom reality show "Living Lohan" was just plain awful. These two wrong turkeys just can't make anything right. (Michael: AP Photo/Richard Drew) (Dina: AP Photo/Evan Agostini)
William Petersen William Petersen's decision to leave 'CSI' after this season is a 'fowl' move, at least to Grissom fans. Will the procedural drama jump the shark and become a turkey after he leaves? (Photo: CBS)
Charlie Sheen & ... Could these two divorced turkeys please call it quits with their very public child custody battles? Between releasing old expletive-filled voicemails, "It's Complicated" and telling all on "Larry King Live," we know more about their relationship than our own! (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian)
Palin Pardons Tu... Governor Sarah Palin became an instant celebrity during the 2008 election cycle and despite losing her bid for Vice President, she's still making news... for 'pardoning' a turkey while another meets his demise right behind her.
