Keith Richards is top hellraiser

Keith Richards has topped a VH1 viewer poll of the ten living hellraisers, ahead of Courtney Love and Ozzy Osbourne.

Keith Richards has come first in a VH1 viewer poll of the top ten living hellraisers - not that they're glorifying bad behaviour, or anything. Anyway, the 61 year old Rolling Stones guitarist, well known for his 'interesting' lifestyle, beat off stiff competition from such luminaries in the field of hellraising as Ozzy Osbourne (well, he does come across as a bit domesticated these days), Pete Doherty (the man who put the boredom into slowly destroying yourself) and Charlotte Church (well, she's young yet).

Courtney Love also makes a high entry at number two, not much of a surprise, given the regularity with which her drug habits and brushes with the law make the headlines. The full list is as follows:

1. Keith Richards

2. Courtney Love

3. Ozzy Osbourne

4. Pete Doherty

5. Shaun Ryder

6. Tommy Lee

7. Johnny Rotten

8. Robbie Williams

9. Charlotte Church

10. Liam and Noel Gallagher
