Top 10 Dumbest Things Celebrities Have Said
Celebrities are constantly in the spotlight, which means everything they say is up for discussion. Some of them handle this attention gracefully, choosing their words carefully. Others, not so much. Whether it's a bizarre misunderstanding, a completely clueless statement, or something so out of touch it makes you cringe, certain celebrity quotes stand out for all the wrong reasons. The worst part? Some of them say these things on purpose, as if doubling down on nonsense makes it any better.
Of course, nobody expects celebrities to be experts on every topic, but there's a difference between a harmless mistake and something so baffling that it makes you wonder how they got through life this far. Sometimes it's an attempt at being deep or inspirational that goes horribly wrong. Other times, it's a total lack of awareness that makes you question if they've ever interacted with the real world. And then there are the ones who blurt out something so offensively dumb, you have to assume they never thought about it at all.
This list gathers some of the most ridiculous things celebrities have ever said, and now it's up to you to decide which ones deserve the top spots. Vote for the ones that made you shake your head the hardest.
-
Everything bad that can happen to a person has happened to me. - Paris Hilton
Wow, Paris. You truly have been through SO much. After all, you've only gone to jail for about a microsecond. You are a true saint, Paris. Forget those silly people out there suffering with poverty and disease. Really? You've got enough money to last you a lifetime and you haven't had to work from the day you came into this world.
It's kind of sad how people with wonderful lives, who are rich, have family that loves them, and a large, completely undeserved fanbase, are the ones that complain about how they've had it the hardest.

Anne was a great girl. Hopefully, she would've been a Belieber. - Justin Bieber on Anne Frank
Seriously? Why would someone say something so egotistical? Anne Frank died because of World War II. You are worried about something so trivial? Might as well spit on her grave.
Wow. That is just offensive. If Anne Frank were still alive, I'd like to think she would be using her influence to break down the walls of intolerance, not promote a bratty pop star.
Bieber wasn't even born when Anne Frank was alive, and I think she wouldn't even listen to his music.
-
I've never really wanted to go to Japan, simply because I don't like eating fish, and I know that's very popular out there in Africa. - Britney Spears
Wow. Something tells me Britney didn't pay attention in geography. She should know at least some of the countries she's toured in and the continents they are on! Seriously, Britney, buy an atlas!
Wow! Triple strike of impressive ignorance in one sentence! This requires some serious skills!
I am from Africa, and we depend on chicken, beef, pork, and all other kinds of meat.
-
Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken of the Sea'... - Jessica Simpson
Okay? It's kinda weird that tuna is hard to tell from chicken.
-
Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough. - Amanda Bynes on Rihanna
This is more horrible and cruel than stupid, although I guess it's stupid as well.
No, Chris Brown beat her because he's an idiot. Just like you.
This is extremely disrespectful. Wow. Screw you, Amanda!
-
What's Wal-Mart? Where they sell, like, walls and stuff? - Paris Hilton
And do they sell archery stuff at Target? (NOTE: I actually know what they sell there. I'm not Paris Hilton!)
This is either a joke, or it's confirmed that Paris Hilton doesn't have a brain.
Paris Hilton is the world's biggest idiot.
-
...But the first time I was in a Gucci store in Chicago was the closest I felt to home. - Kanye West
-
I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin. - Gwyneth Paltrow
So basically she prefers to consume poison over something healthy.
You would rather become a druggie than gain a little weight? Okay...
So, you would go with the addictive and deadly substance then? Ok.
-
I've always thought Marilyn Monroe looked fabulous, but I'd kill myself if I was that fat. - Elizabeth Hurley
Marilyn Monroe is perfect. She is one of the most talented actresses ever and is still well-known today. She was amazing - curvy, not overweight. Nothing Elizabeth Hurley has done will ever come close to Marilyn's legacy. Marilyn will forever be an icon in Hollywood. She is my favorite actress and is fabulous and beautiful. There's No Business Like Show Business is great and a popular saying today. How to Marry a Millionaire is also great. Nothing Elizabeth has done is as good. Marilyn is much prettier, nicer, and more talented. She was unique and is my idol. She had synesthesia and was so awesome!
-
My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see me perform. - Kanye West
And his second greatest pain in life is that he will never be able to attend his funeral, which is more devastating, really, because it should be so much more entertaining.
How egotistical can someone be? Kanye is so egotistical he'd probably get a rib removed to perform oral on himself.
Have you seen yourself perform your cover of Bohemian Rhapsody? You failed miserably. Mama, just killed a song.
-
?
My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. - John Mayer
What!? Why on earth would anyone say something like that?
-
?
If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely. don't worry'. - Mark Wahlberg
-
Stretch marks are my biggest fear in life. - Kim Kardashian
This is so stupid. The fact that this is her biggest fear is just embarrassing. It shows how much her body means to her. Yes, we need to take care of our bodies, and it is okay to want them to look a certain way, but she is an idiot.
Yep, not about something bad happening to her kids, family, and friends... A stupid stretch mark! Why do people support this idiot again?
Oh, yeah. Kidnappers, losing a loved one, death, bombings, shootings - they're all beaten by stretch marks.
-
I feel like the Kurt Cobain of my generation. - Justin Bieber
If he really believes that, it might turn to our advantage. My reasoning is as follows: he is a musician like Kurt was (sort of), he has the right amount of craziness like Kurt had (sort of), and he chooses the same shade of highlights as Kurt did (that's quite true, actually). So, now all he has to do to become the Kurt Cobain of his generation is to commit suicide like Kurt did. Win-win!
Justin Bieber = Kurt Cobain? That's the funniest joke in a while. The Kurt Cobain of this generation is Jared Leto, or someone else... But definitely not JB.
-
I think gay marriage should be between a man and a woman. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnie, you do realize that gay marriage should be between two guys, right?
-
Whale sharks… so that must be when a whale and a shark have sex. Then I think, "Well, how does a whale and a shark have sex?" - Tara Reid
Oh my God. Best discovery ever by mankind, and nobody even knows why it is called Whale Shark!
Even scientists are busy taking selfies with lab rats... She is the genius of mankind! She deserves an Oscar and Nobel Peace Prize for this amazing discovery that revives our faith in humanity. *Sarcasm*
She's so stupid! How can somebody be so stupid and still be alive and that rich? I don't get it.
It's just a shark that is as large as a whale and looks like one too.
-
Nothing tastes as good as being skinny. - Kate Moss
Not being famous for just being anorexic. Or, being beautiful, perhaps...
Actually, being smart tastes better. Not that you would know.
-
Whenever I watch TV and see those poor, starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean, I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff. - Mariah Carey
Shut up, Mariah.
-
Whatever they have in Korea, that's bad. - Justin Bieber
Really? Because last I checked, you came from Canada, unfortunately, not Korea.
-
So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year? - Christina Aguilera
-
I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness. - Alicia Silverstone
She tried to sound smarter than she actually is and failed miserably.
-
We're more popular than Jesus now. - John Lennon
This offended many Christians in the South to the point they held gatherings to destroy Beatles records and merchandise. They even tried to hurt them in Memphis with fireworks. This quote is also a major reason why Lennon got assassinated.
A testament to their popularity is the fact that the Beatles were able to absorb the predictable hard hit that was the inevitable result of making that statement.
He meant to say that The Beatles were so popular that they became bigger than Christianity. Most people thought The Beatles were better than Jesus, though.
-
Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost an important part of your life. - Brooke Shields
Brooke, you do realize that when we die, we cease to live at all? Seriously, leave this to people who can figure out life and death.
-
I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with hitting a woman. - Sean Connery
I think what he meant by that is there's nothing wrong with hitting a woman when she's hitting you herself. Something like that. Bad choice of words though.
-
I am the least racist person in this room. - Donald Trump
-
He speaks English, Spanish, and he's bilingual too. - Don King
Yeah... I believe that's how it works.
-
First my mother was Spanish, then she became a Jehovah's Witness. - Geri Halliwell
