Unscripted Comments: Celebrity’s Worst Nightmare

Along with all of the Top 10 movies, books, stories, etc., that are running everywhere, the LA Times ran a funny recap of the silliest things uttered by celebrities during the year. Given the immense amount of material that they had to work with I’m sure the weeding out process was a lot of work. Here are Independent Sources favorites:
Interviewed after the London terrorist bombings last year, Tara Reid helpfully suggested a new anti-terrorist strategy, saying:
“I wish all the mean people, if you want to be mean to each other, just buy a country together and blow each other up. Then we’d have no terrorists left.”
After it was discovered that Russell Simmons’ Phat Fashions firm had made only $14.3 million, not the “$350 million” in sales he had publicly boasted about, the rap entrepreneur explained,
“It’s how you develop an image for companies…. You give out false statements to mislead the public so they will then increase in their mind the value of your company.”
I’m sure fellow brother Richard Scrushy was thinking the same thing.
Not mentioned in the Times article but nominated by Independent Sources for inclusion is pretty much everything said by Celine Dion on Larry King in the midst of the Katrina disaster including:
Maybe those armed gangs are so poor that they’ve never shot a fireman! Let them shoot a fireman for once (making a gun out of her index finger and firing it)!
Honorable mentions: anything said by Tim Robbins, anything written my Jim Lampley, and anything even remotely related to Michael Jackson.

Agree with everything but the Tim Robbins part. (Did he say anything last year?)
Also you ruined the scar-y moment in that Reid photo. Ugly it was/is.
