A popular person in the music, movie, or TV industry who has it all but whose life has gone to shit. Usually not one odd scenario, but manages repeated odd behaviors. Also popwrecks tend to be well known by the law and paparazzi.
"Owen Wilson is the latest popwreck to go over the cliff."

"The popwreck, ho-lebrity trio of Britney, Lindsy, and Paris are making news again."

"Thank god Robert Downey Jr is no longer such a popwreck."
