Apparently not. Whilst bad boys have always been media magnets, 16 year old Australian Corey Worthington has brought a new level of bad-ass to the spectrum. Perhaps a case of being in the wrong place at the right time, the young Melbournite first grabbed local attention for an [open house party](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morning-parties) he hosted that spiraled well out of control. Young Worthington circulated invites via SMS and social networking website Myspace. The party required 30 police officers, a dog squad and a police helicopter to contain the 500-strong crowd. Fame of the party boy has spread globally with his story one of the most-read article's on the [BBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potluck-club) news website and made an appearance on US news giant CNN.
