There But For The Grace Of Putin Go...

In light of Pussy Riot being condemned to a 2 year jail sentence for storming the altar of the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in February and performing a \'punk prayer asking the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of President Vladimir Putin, we thought we\'d have a look at some of the top celeb blasphemers and controversy courters who wouldn\'t stand if Putin had his say.

Photo   Our very own Rubberbandits, apart from the similarities in style to Pussy Riot, reenacted the Pieta live last year. Thankfully we know how to take a joke. Photo   Bjork in 1995: “I've been reading about reincarnation, and the Buddhists say we come back as animals and they refer to them as lesser beings. Well, animals aren't lesser beings, they're just like us. So I say fuck the Buddhists.” Photo   Marilyn Manson has made a career out of causing controversy and irritating religious bodies. So much so, there's too much to mention, but here's a link to someone who took the time to document it for us (WARNING: You are entering the land of the crazies) - e1.ie/m4b - Photo   We couldn't mention controversy and not have Lindsay now could we? He she is in a shoot for Purple Magazine by Terry Richardson in 2010, rocking a crown of thorns.  
Saying nothing of this album cover, there's Frank Zappa's lyrics to Catholic Girls: ''There's nothing like a catholic girl, At the cyo, When they learn to blow''...   Lady Gaga, no stranger to controversy and latex, performed as a nun in concert at the O2 Arena Prague, Czech Republic in 2010. Photo   Jay-Z coined himself the "God MC, Jay-Hova" in his song Take Over, and ever since the name Hov/Hova has been following him around. And then there's all the Illuminati rumours. Photo   Madonna's controversial antics are nothing new, and one of her more recent bursts is when she performed faux crucified on her Confessions Tour.   Mel Gibson could basically teach a course on blasphemy, and misogyny, and racism, and lots of other things... Photo  
And last but not least, our nation's own Sinead O'Connor, who caused uproar worldwide when she tore up a picture of the Pope during a performance on live TV.
