37 Famously Stupid Celebrity Quotes

krazykoreanblog.blog-city.com — Are celebrities really dumber than the rest of us, or do they simply have more opportunities to prove their intellectual deficiencies for everyone to see? Whichever it is, it takes a special sort to show up on this list more than once, an honor reserved for the likes of Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and the President of the United States

  • wheaty, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39Following a trip to Greece, Shaquille O'Neal was asked whether he had visited the Parthenon. "I can't really remember," Shaq replied, "the names of the clubs that we went to.

    This should really have made the list.
    • paradox4190, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26Yes, but 37 is such a round number. Top 37 lists are the new top 10 lists. No room for a #38.
    • DDoSAttack, on 10/12/2007, -24/+2So what if there was a club named "The Parthenon"?
    • TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Meh. Blogspam. The original list is elsewhere.
    • nimawin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Bush after being asked whether he's seen Brokeback Mountain:
      "I'll be glad to talk about ranching, but I haven't seen the movie. I've heard about it. I hope you go -- you know -- I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I'm about to say."
    • Foamator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+638 of these are George Bush quotes.

    and

    "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first" George Rogers

      /shudders

      BTW, #22 is straight up truth. Shouldn't be on the list.
    • ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11What does the Keanu Reeves one even mean??
    • jefdub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5319 “Predictions are difficult, especially about the future.” — Yogi Berra
      This is not stupid, it's genius. More from the master of quotes:

      "This is like deja vu all over again."
      "You can observe a lot just by watching."
      "He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie.
      "I want to thank you for making this day necessary." -- On Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947.
      "I'd find the fellow who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it." -- When asked what he would do if he found a million dollars.
      "Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"
      "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."
      "I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."
      "If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."
      "If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."
      "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."

      "Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."
      "A nickel isn't worth a dime today."
    • Shaunt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21This one too.

      4“I love California. I grew up in Phoenix.” — Dan Quayle

      makes sense to me. if you grew up in phoenix im sure you'd love california.
    • Azuroth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I used to live in Phoenix, #4 makes perfect sense to me.

      (Most everyone in Phoenix wishes they lived in CA)
    • mendicant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+829“It’s not that I dislike many people. It’s just that I don’t like many people.” — Bryant Gumbel

      I can see this point of view as well. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you dislike them. I'm very indifferent towards many people.

      But the ones I like, I like a lot.
    • Y0tsuya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10The Donald speaks the truth. When you're poking a hot young piece of ass. Everybody else can shove it.
    • kwai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+233 - Smoking kills. If you’re killed, you’ve lost an important part of your life.” — Brooke Shields

      This is either tragic or incredibly funny, because that sounds like a joke taken out of context. But I suspect that is true about a few of those quotes.

      29 - It’s not that I dislike many people. It’s just that I don’t like many people.” — Bryant Gumbel

      I think that is pretty insightful really, something like the difference between prejudice and racism (maybe that comment would land me on the list if I was famous).
    • luke727, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think #16 is particularly dumb. She's just saying that there are different elements to it every day so she (apparently) doesn't get bored. Although the comment about wearing new clothes is a little odd. But I must take exception to #29. Not liking somebody is not the same as disliking somebody. Liking = positive, disliking = negative. Basically it is the lack of a positive, NOT the presence of a negative. It's not that he thinks lowly of everybody; he just doesn't think highly of everybody. It's not the same thing.
    • retral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"This is not stupid, it's genius."

      They always say there's a fine line between stupid and genius...
      wait a sec..
  • fober, on 10/12/2007, -55/+6I find the digg submitter's user name highly inappropriate.
    • jordanday, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13You find the name inappropriate why? Perhaps they really are a whacky, zany korean. Or are you finding it inappropriate in the context of the recent shootings? Cause either way, you're dumb.
    • obrysii, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Why? Because he's been on Digg since December?
    • Racerx52, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Member Since:

    • j4son, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4How topical. Read the profile first, toolbox.
    • MercifulCobra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21No, he finds the name inappropriate because the user spelled "krazy" with a "k". That, of course, is totally unorthodox and unacceptable!

      He'll get over it.
    • answer42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25There are a lot of Koreans in the world. Especially in Korea.
    • Boondoggle, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Piss up a rope.
    • TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1now if it had been posted by English Major, well...then you'd have something.
    • datcracka, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1You'd hate my band. The Crazy Asians. All white guys. It's a good time for all.

      And grow the ***** up. Thanks for letting everyone know you were offended. What was anyone going to do? Anyone at all? Flame you. That's how digg works. Sucker-ass Suckers.
  • tonythespy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1422“You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” — Donald Trump
    How did this one make the list? Who cares what "The View" thinks of you as long as your tapping a miss America reject?

  • Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Absolute blog spam: "I thought these were pretty funny when I read them HERE , So I decided to post them on my blog :)"

    Original content:

    • evilTak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Site moderately NSFW
    • 1KrazyKorean, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11Yea thats correct, but digg wouldnt let me submit that article. Due to a all adult content site. Again I really apologize if this angers anyone. Just trying to bring some enjoyment to people. =)
    • neuromute, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10*****. The reason you couldn't submit the post was because it has been submitted before and got buried. Hence the 2 at the end of the URL.

      Here's the original:

      http://www.digg.com/celebrity/37_Famously_Stupid_Celebrity_Quotes

      Also, you hotlinked all of the images from the content authors that you ripped off. You are a real prince of the assholes.
  • odaen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13How can David Beckham not be in here.

    “I definitely want Brooklyn to be christened, but I don't know into what religion yet.”

    (From his autobiography)
  • ahoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7They're not all that stupid... some of these were probably said w/ sarcasm ...it's that we take them so seriously that they're stupid.
    • MercifulCobra, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0I'm not surprised you'd confuse stupidity with sarcasm. Are you one of the celebrities on this list?
    • SanTe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"I'm not surprised you'd confuse stupidity with sarcasm. Are you one of the celebrities on this list?"

      Actually, there are a few that I'm willing to bet were said sarcastically, this one in particular:

      32“[I hope] my child will be a good Catholic like me.” — Madonna

      Did she say "I hope" at the beginning of that sentence? Doesn't look like it since the words are bracketed, implying the list author made an assumption about her intent. If she didn't say "I hope" then her line takes on a whole different context. Madonna is known to be fairly intelligent and witty, and I wouldn't doubt she was being a bit of a smartass.

      It's easy for a celebrity to put their foot in their mouth when they constantly have microphones shoved in their face and are expected to make comments and answer questions on the spot, especially with camera flashes and chaos going on around them. It is also true that celebrities often get very tired of answering the same questions and often make stuff up just to amuse themselves. That being said, I'm sure there are no shortage of celebrities deficient in brain cell count.
  • laserblazer, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4"Either you're with us, or you're with the terrorists." should have been #1.
  • ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"It's time to turn off that war machine and turn on our children - uh... turn... turn *on* our children"
    • Eclipse19, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"I hear the voices, and I read the front page,,,,,,,,,,,, but I'm the decider (sp?)"?

  • 1KrazyKorean, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5@nougat

    I agree somewhat, but digg would not let me submit the article due to all adult content on the site..I gave them credit for the article hence the link. Not only that I basically did it to see how far this would go. And I did think some of these were funny..So I apologize :)
  • drmangrum, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Wasn't this posted like 2 weeks ago?
  • webaj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8For all the little kids out there f**k means teddy bear - Diggnation Alex
  • jordanday, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2“When you say I committed adultery, are you stating before the marriage of 1996 or prior to?” — Dallas Cowboys cornerback Deion Sanders

    Actually, it's not a dumb question at all. You don't have to be married to commit adultery. If the person you're with is married, then you are committing adultery, too.

    Unless the dumb part is the whole "before" and "prior to" part, which yes, is pretty dumb.

    Also I think a lot of these comments are sarcastic.
  • bdell24, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1-delete-
  • TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14“It’s not that I dislike many people. It’s just that I don’t like many people.”

    That's perfectly valid. There is a distinction between not liking someone (indifference) and actively disliking someone
    • laserblazer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5You just summed up the anti-atheist 'argument'.

      There's a difference between not believing in a god and believing there is no god.
  • BuckarooBanzai8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You could fill the whole list with only Yogi Berra quotes, check these out...

    http://www.rinkworks.com/said/yogiberra.shtml

    pure (accidental) comedy genius.
  • DiscoLando, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Are celebrities really dumber than the rest of us?

    Yes.
    • madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I think there was a recent front page story that showed why celebrities do so many dumb things.... anybody remember?
  • 1KrazyKorean, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8First things first, no need to bash every korean out there because of recent events. I been using this user name for over 9 years for everything. People please don't be so ignorant, I assume many people on digg can be better then that. Also who cares if I only been here since December why would that matter. I have made alot of friends and enjoy this site very much
  • Pilot85, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1(3“You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.” — George W. Bush)

    NANI?!

    (2“Too many OB/GYN’s aren’t able to practice their love with women all across the country.” — George W. Bush)

    I agree completely, sir.

    (1“Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?” — George W. Bush)

    Apparently not rarely enough. No, Mr. President, they isn't.
  • Acidictadpole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"1“Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?” — George W. Bush "

    Well, it's true. That question is rarely asked, because it's stupid.
  • Roagie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This one should be added... this was from Bush through a spokesperson in regards to the VT shootings:
    "The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed".
  • aryo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1highlarious
  • lanchfn21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I was surprised to see there wasn't any Mike Tyson quotes on the list. I guess being on VH1's Surreal Life isn't enough to be considered a celebrity.
  • foolonthehill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36“I’m sounding worse than Jessica Simpson right now. She’s looking like a rock scientist.” — Tara Reid

    Well, I guess geologists have to be pretty smart.
  • dafragsta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+337!?! In a row?
    • TheWood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+137!? Try not to suck any dicks on your way through the parking lot!

      Couldn't resist the Clerks ref anytime I hear that number. I also needed to lend my support to the fact the Yogi should NOT have been on this list. I don't think the things he said were stupid, they were supposed to be funny. Otherwise this list would be populated with all kinds of comments by comedians taken out of context.
  • zadadka, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1...notice how the top 29 are all Yanks, with their Chief Executive not only leading by example, but summing up a nation's credo with the No. 1 Famous Stupid Quote....

    ...rotflmao !

    (soz, couldn't resist.....love y'all really !! )
    • harrier666, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0That's because its about famous people. Famous people come from America.

  • dafragsta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"2“You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” — Donald Trump"

    How is that dumb? Tactless and probably a little insulting to whatever woman he's with these days, but I'd say he's just giving his viewpoint. The fact that he can back it up with money and a young and beautiful piece of ass only makes people jealous! ;)
    • smurfmaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think the point is that the phrase is ambiguous. Trump's own ass is certainly neither young nor beautiful.
  • oldman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Not sure who was first, but E! and VH-1 have run a show about these for a while now!
  • trollick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Predictions are difficult, especially about the future"

    How is this stupid??? This is pure genius!

  • therealrico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2These ones didn't seem so bad to me

    “I love California. I grew up in Phoenix.” — Dan Quayle

    Why can't you grow up in one place, and love another, that seems alright by me.

  • gtfbfan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5This guy copied my original article, located here: http://www.celebrityhack.com/stupid-celebrity-quotes/

    Hell, just look at how the digg URL is appended with a "2" — that's because this has already been submitted once!

    On top of that, he hotlinked all of my images, so his digg with MY content is costing ME bandwidth. This guy should be buried so far down he'll have to pull his socks down just to see out.
    • TimoP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Quick! Goatse those pics!
    • gordigor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Get over it already! Yes your special and he's a thief. I'm positive you didn't compile the list all on your own either.
  • Weakling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Famous, that might be up for debate, but I still find this the most stupid quote ever:

    Jenna Elfman - 'AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease'.

    This is her reason for not supporting any organisation that raises money for AIDS research ... geez!
    • elev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1She, Tom, and the rest of those Xeno fans believe all disease is a "state-of-mind".
      I'd love to kick Tom in the crotch and tell him that his crushed testicles are just a "state-of-mind".
  • BillDoor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Some of these are clearly jokes and not stupid quotes such as No.17 “I don’t think anybody should write his autobiography until after he’s dead.” — Samuel Goldwyn
  • Datasta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This is a stolen article from http://www.celebrityhack.com . Not only did they steal the article, they knocked the original creator of the site offline because they hotlinked all of the images. This is utter garbage.

    It was a line in a movie, Working Girl if my memory serves me. But still, it gives some incite into the stupidity of Hollywood writers. Love obviously means saying your sorry over, and over, and over again, until you die./quote

    The line comes from Love Story. Early 70's Ryan O'Neal & Ali McGraw. Ali said it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Story
