15 Times Hollywood Nannies Stole The Spotlight

Celebrities have a busy lifestyle; there are the beauty appointments, photo shoots, red carpet appearances, high society parties - it never ends. So when the stars of today need to juggle their careers and also a family life, a little extra help around the house always helps.

Former nanny to the stars, Kim Hong, told People magazine that the duties expected of her included packing lunches, preparing dinner, playing games, reading bedtime stories, overseeing homework, bathing the children, brushing their teeth, dressing them, cleaning up after them, driving them around, and arranging their playdates. She added, "The kids usually end up treating their nannies like assistants." It's not all bad, however, as some nannies can earn up to $185,000 a year if they agree to sign a watertight confidentiality agreement.

Celebs have a long list of potential nannies they can choose from. So, it's always interesting to see a star pick not only the hottest nanny of the lot but also someone who actually overshadows them. It's almost as if they haven't heard of the nanny cheating scandals involving Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jude Law, Mick Jagger, Rob Lowe, and Ethan Hawke to name just a few.

Despite all the warning signals, these celebs still put caution aside and some of them paid a tough price too.

15 Kim's Nanny Is So Sharp She Steals Her Style

Kim Kardashian loved her nanny's cornrows so much that she ripped off her style and the reality star even gave her son Saint West some adorable cornrows to match too. However, Kim faced quite the backlash when the New York Post wrote that fans were now paying $50 to have their hair braided in “Kim braids." Critics were quick to point out that this hairstyle has been a popular and practical way for black people to wear their hair for hundreds of years.

American actress and singer Amandla Stenberg explained on her Instagram page, "When you appropriate black features and culture but fail to use your position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards your wigs instead of police brutality or racism." She later updated her social media with a video titled, Don't Cash Crop On My Cornrows.

14 Jessica Simpson's Nanny Rocked Flower Crowns Before It Was Cool

Southern belle Jessica Simpson married former NFL Player Eric Johnson in 2014 and the pair appeared the perfect family unit alongside their daughter Maxwell and son Ace. Then they were rocked by claims that Eric had been caught getting far too close to their nanny. A source close to the family told Hollywood Life that whilst Jessica was busy building her $1 billion fashion empire, her husband had been enjoying long hikes with their super-hot and trendy nanny.

The source said, "(The nanny is) an attractive young woman. It's not a good idea to let your husband spend tons of time with a pretty young woman. It's a ticking time bomb! They've been spending every moment they can together and it's hurling his marriage to Jessica into almost certain doom." We will have to see how long that flower crown can stay on the nanny's head when Jessica hears of this news.

13 Jennifer Garner Must Learn Not To Hire A Hawt Nanny

Matters weren't made any better when the couple kept hiring super hot nannies to help them care for their three children. Affleck had previously been linked to their former nanny Christine Ouzounian. It's like if you're brunette and have a rocking body then there's a spare room for you at the Bennifer household.

Garner told Vanity Fair, "(Affleck is) the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. When his sun shines on you, you feel it. But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow." The couple still remains close, she added, "The main thing is these kids - and we're completely in line with what we hope for them. Sure, I lost a dream of dancing with my husband at my daughter's wedding but you should see their faces when he walks through the door."

12 Scary Spice Started A Romantic Affair With Her Nanny

America's Got Talent judge Melanie Brown (a.k.a Scary Spice) thought her nanny was so irresistible that even she fell for her. Former nanny Lorraine Gilles was only 18-years-old when she first moved to Mel B's home in Los Angeles and the pair began a 7-year relationship. According to court documents, Mel was in an open marriage with her husband Stephen Belafonte who was also aware of the affair.

German-born Lorraine said Mel had educated her on "raising a family, and the entertainment business and bringing (her) on her travels across the world." The documents added, "Brown embraced Gilles' youth, sexuality, and kind nature, treated Gilles as a best friend and lover, and trusted Gilles enough for her to grow close to the children and serve as a mother figure for her children for seven years." It's not often we hear about the mother of the family getting close to the nanny but in L.A. anything can happen.

11 Gwen Stefani's Nanny Stole Her Look (And Her Husband!)

Gwen Stefani probably started to feel like she was in the psychological thriller Single White Female when her nanny Mindy Mann began to look exactly like her. Mann dressed in the same rock chick style as Stefani, she wore her hair the same and even started to look a younger, more fly version of the No Doubt singer. Stefani's husband Gavin Rossdale appeared to think so too, as he allegedly fell for his wife's doppelganger.

After 13 years of marriage, Stefani and Rossdale decided to divorce. In an emotional interview with during The Tommy Show on 94.7 fresh FM, the Don't Speak singer said, "I wish it didn't happen.

When Carlton appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she spoke about her close relationship with her super hot nanny, Elizy.

9 J-Lo's Nanny Was No Threat - Until She Showed Up To The Beach

Jennifer Lopez is one busy woman, she has such a manic lifestyle that her children "schedule" quality time with her. The Love Don't Cost A Thing singer revealed on the talk show, The Real, "My son said to me this week, he goes, "Mom, I'd like to schedule a picnic with you this week cause I know you've been, you know, working hard."

When her two children, Max and Emme, enjoyed a beach day with their nanny - some had to rub their eyes just to double check that curvacious body didn't belong to J-Lo. Not long after these photos surfaced, J-Lo gave her nanny the boot and instead hired a 'manny'. She told Seth Meyers, "(Max) is surrounded by women 24 hours a day. He jumps on me and he hurts my neck. He's so aggressive, he's killing me. I was just thinking of my child, so I got a manny, a nice guy, to come in and hang out with him and have fun." Now, are you sure that's the real reason you let your other nanny go?

8 Britney's Nanny Thinks Quite Highly Of Herself

Britney Spears is rarely intimidated by anyone and she showed that by hiring a super hot nanny, Leah Frand, for her two sons, Sean and Jayden. The blonde bombshell's Twitter bio reads that she is a "Luxury Residential Realtor, Professional Celebrity, High Profile Nanny, Household Manager, Interior Decorator/Organizer" - although with less than 200 followers she might need to hire a PR firm to help her get the word out.

According to Britney's former manager Sam Lufti, Frand only worked for Britney for one week before she was sacked so something must have gone right wrong. Although this doesn't match with Frand's account that she worked for Britney for six months during the Oops I Did It Again! singer's stint as a judge on X Factor. However long she worked with Britney, here's hoping she made all the contacts she needed.

7 Jay-Z Has Got Some Serious Worrying To Do

No bodyguard/manny works harder than Julius de Bouer. If he's not holding Beyonce's handbag, carrying a tired out Blue Ivy or holding Solange back during a violent attack on Jay-Z, then he's keeping the paparazzi at bay 24/7. He's handsome, well-dressed, strong and well - just a dreamboat. If we were Jay-Z, we'd be afraid - very afraid.

Raised in Amsterdam, where he earned a psychology degree, Julius started his own Executive Protection company aged just 24 and is believed to earn an estimated salary of $500,000 a year. During an interview with Variety magazine, de Bouer spoke about this career in close protection explaining, "It is much more than being a human shield to your customer. You should always think three steps ahead, follow a schedule, and call ahead to destinations and so on." Before adding, "Adaptability, in physical and psychological terms, is the main characteristic that you must possess." Could we possibly adore anyone more?

During an interview with The Guardian, he bragged, "As for being 'the best at it,' most women won't have any complaints if they've been with me. They really can't complain. It's all good." If he says so, then we'll take his word for it.

5 The Beckham's Empire Almost Destroyed By PA/Nanny

The Beckham empire is now worth more than $600 million but many years ago there was one woman who almost ended it all. Rebecca Loos was a super hot and uber smart personal assistant/nanny hired by David and Victoria Beckham to look after their family affairs. However, she ran to the papers claiming she'd had an affair with David on several occasions.

Loos revealed on a British chat show that the reason behind the affair was that Victoria was not at home that much. She said, "If there hadn't been a gap in that bed, I wouldn't have been in it." Adding, "I said, 'You must have had so many lovers'. He said, 'No, of course not, I'm far too much of a public figure'." The Beckhams called the story "ludacris" but that didn't stop Loos cashing in on a reported $1 million from selling her story.

4 Kourtney Found A Nanny With The Longest Legs In L.A.

We certainly wouldn't trust a glamorous, long-legged brunette in the same house as Scott Disick, but Kourtney Kardashian thought different when she hired a nanny to look after her growing family. Although, Kourtney hasn't always turned to hired help to take care of her three kids; Mason, Penelope, and Reign.

She told Fit Pregnancy, "I love doing everything myself at the beginning. I'm not (interested in) getting a baby nurse. I take two months off and no one is allowed to bother me or talk to me about anything work-related. It's the only time I feel I have that excuse to shut everyone out and shut everything off. That time is a gift." Now her children are older, she's brought in some extra help for the job and only the hottest staff will do.

3 Sarah Jessica Parker's Nanny Has The Height Of A Catwalk Model

Sarah Jessica Parker has not just picked a nanny who looks like she just walked straight off a fashion week catwalk, but according to one witness, she also doubles up as a mean bodyguard too. A fan told Gawker, "(We) saw Sarah Jessica Parker, (she) looked great but her nanny was a b****. Sarah, Matthew, James (Parker's son) and the 'lady' all went inside. Then 5 minutes later the nanny walked out. She asked me what I was doing, and I tried to be polite and I just said that I was a fan. And then she was like why don't you just keep going."

The superfan added, "Then she said that I was just like the other scum photographers, and then she said this was private property. So I said actually it's a public street. And then she said, "She isn't going to be happy." And then she went inside with James."

2 Marsha Went From Robin Williams' Nanny To Wifey

Comedian Robin Williams' ex-wife Valerie Velardi hired Marsha Garces to take care of their two children, Zachary and Francesca. Williams had reportedly cheated on his wife with Marsha towards the end of the marriage, which is no surprise that she caught his eye just by looking at what a snappy dresser she is. When Marsha walked down the aisle with the Mrs. Doubtfire star, she was already pregnant with their daughter Zelda, who was named after a character from Super Mario Bros.

Their marriage lasted 19 years before Williams' alcohol relapse led to their divorce. He told Parade magazine, "One day I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of Jack Daniel's. And then that voice - I call it the 'lower power' - goes, 'Hey. Just a taste. Just one.' I drank it, and there was that brief moment of 'Oh, I'm okay!' But it escalated so quickly. Within a week I was buying so many bottles I sounded like a wind chime walking down the street." Sadly, Williams passed away in 2014 aged 63-years-old.
