Oh celebrities. They're the people that are in our everyday life, yet they're the people who we never get to meet. They live luxurious lifestyles, dress in designer clothes, and have thousands upon thousands of followers on Instagram. Occasionally you do have celebrities who are college-educated, hell, there are even some who went to Ivy League schools (or maybe more than one of them), but there's some celebrities who should just stick to reading lines in their scripts and songs.
1. "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada." - Britney Spears
While Spears may have the title of ultimate pop sensation of the late 90's and early 2000's, just by taking one look at her, you know she's not the brightest crayon in the box. Touring is cool, so is going to "overseas places," but next time she does an interview concerning geographical topics, her manager may want to inform her that Canada is our neighbor to the north and that there is no water you must cross over to get to it.
2. "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
If you stop after the first sentence, the former Mrs. Cannon harbors the feelings of many, those commercials are sad and show a reality that often in the western world we don't have to deal with on a daily bases. However, the second half makes MiMi look beyond insensitive. One thing for sure, you'll never see hear her as the celebrity narrator in one of those commercials.
3. "Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything." - Ivana Trump
It makes me glad to know that the controversial Republican frontrunner's ex knows the difference between fiction and non-fiction. At the same time, it scares me that maybe she was unsure when she was saying this. Good thing she doesn't have a chance at becoming the First Lady, because maybe she'll think some of our historical events are fiction.
4. "I'm not anorexic. I'm from Texas. Are there people from Texas that are anorexic? I've never heard of one. And that includes me. - Jessica Simpson
Even if you didn't watch her show with her now ex-husband Nick Lachey, you still know that Simpson is perhaps the expression "dumb blonde" in human form. It's kind of ironic, because she has gone through periods of time where her weight has yo-yoed.
5. "I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman" - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Now there's a lot of things wrong with this mind-boggling statement. Gay marriage is between two men or two women. Clearly we know which side of the issue to former California governor is on. Clearly he also needs a better education.
6. "I make Jessica Simpson look like a rock scientist." - Tara Reid
Jessica Simpson said one of the dumb quotes on this list, and now she is the topic of this dumb quote. We knew that she wasn't a rocket scientist and clearly neither is Tara Reid. I also don't think she knows that a rock scientist goes by the more commonly known name, geologist.
7. "We are going to turn this team around 360 degrees." - Jason Kidd
Some may not know that Jason Kidd was a professional basketball player and then had a stint as the head coach as one of his former teams. Clearly Kidd does not know that 360 degrees is a circle and by turning around in 360 degrees his team is just going to end up back where they started.
8. "Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber." - Justin Bieber
Maybe I'm not giving Biebs enough credit, but I was surprised that he knew who Anne Frank was. However, I kind of appalled that he thinks she would be a fan of his music. Frank had more important things than to listen to some pop star. This GIF says it all.
9. "I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don't like wearing fish and I know that's very popular out there in Africa." - Britney Spears
If this doesn't show that the proof is in the pudding then I don't know what will. No matter what it seems like Spears just doesn't know her geography. Again, her agents and publicists really need her to stop talking about different countries because she just sounds dumb.
10. "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of you life." - Brooke Shields
[Drops mic.]
