Mike Tyson, always known for frank talk about himself, made heads turns yet again this week when he talked to Acess Hollywood about being a "fat crackhead."

Tyson talked about his recent wgiht loss saying "I became a vegan. I lost a 140 pounds. I always thought if you did cocaine, you stayed skinny. I didn't know you would turn into a fat crackhead. And you know there's nothing like a fat crackhead."

I'll say one thing for Mike Tyson: He'll be the first to tell you that he's no hero, and I'm not excusing all of his wrongdoing in the past, especially how he has treated women at times. But for as much ridicule as he gets for being "crazy," if you watch closely Tyson is really one of the most honest and self-aware celebrities when he talks about himself. And what people call "crazy" is usually just MIke being disarmingly frank.
