Another Top 10 Dumb Things Said By Celebrities

Y’know that old adage that there are no stupid questions. Well, Christina Aguilera proved that to be false upon asking, “Where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?” We’ll give you a hint, Christina. The answer is right there in the festival’s name. The Cannes International Film Festival is annually held in Cannes, France. Where else would it take place? That’s like asking where the New York City Marathon is being held. The answer is giftwrapped. What, did you just assume that the films being screened were all about tin cans?

Although most women would have killed to be Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s, Elizabeth Hurley would have killed herself if she was “that fat.” First of all, Elizabeth, Marilyn was voluptuously curvy. Secondly, don’t you think offing yourself over a little fat is kind of overreacting? Third, do you really want to endorse the notion that if a girl isn’t an anorexic walking stick then there’s something wrong with her? Last but not least, you are aware that Marilyn Monroe allegedly committed suicide, right? This is why gentlemen prefer blondes.

In 2011, the Biebs still wasn’t old enough to vote and wasn’t sure which party he would side with even if he could, stating “I’m not sure about the parties” in an interview with Rolling Stone. There was one thing this teen idol turned bad boy knew for sure, though: “Whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.” Gee, that’s almost as eye-opening as his wise words about the “great girl” who was Anne Frank. Whether he was talking about North Korea, South Korea, or Korea as a whole remains unclear. Just so you know, Justin, there’s a big difference between those neighboring countries.

When a toddler mixes up two words like “Bolivian” and “Oblivion” it’s adorable. When a full-grown heavyweight champion like Mike Tyson mixes them up, it’s hilarious. After taking a mad beating at the fists of Lennox Lewis, Tyson feared that his career was over and that he was destined to “fade into Bolivian.” To be fair, Tyson was probably - and understandably - out of it. On the other hand, he’s never exactly been a master of public speaking. While the years that followed were tough on the boxer, at least he hasn’t totally faded into oblivion - or Bolivian for that matter.

In the 1960s, The Beatles were the biggest stars on the planet. No matter how big your band gets, though, you probably shouldn’t compare your popularity to that of Christianity. Worse yet, you definitely shouldn’t say: “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I’ll be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first—rock ’n’ roll or Christianity.” The supposedly smart Beatle made this cardinal error, sparking the infamous Beatle Boycott, where their records were burned and songs were pulled from radio. But, while Lennon’s assertion will forever remain infamous, at least it’s made for some funny satire.

While running for Governor of California back in 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger was naturally asked about his views on gay marriage. The bodybuilder-turned-action hero-turned-politician-turned-action hero again apparently wasn’t aware that same-sex marriage requires two people of, y’know, the same sex to function, saying that “it should be between a man and a woman.” Granted, Arnie was probably just rushed and misspoke. Given how silly and contradictory this statement is, though, it’s hard to believe he was elected the Governator a couple months later. So, wait, which is it anyway: is he pro or anti-gay marriage?

Before we groan at our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:
