When Celebrities Say Stupid Stuff

Sassy Smith — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:06:00 GMT

We all say stupid things sometimes, but when a celebrity does, it's usually in print, on tape, on video, and hey there's always youtube. So I give you some priceless celebrity quotes. And by the way, I LOVE that picture of Matthew McConaughey's nephew - and his name is Miller Lyte.

Okay, not all of the quotes are necessarily stupid, but they're, uh, fun? Ya, fun! And some are actually comedic and intelligent. But titling the post with "stupid" brings people in - 'cause we all love when celebs stick feet in mouth.

Matthew McConaughey's brother Rooster (yes Rooster) McConaughey said to PEOPLE about his brother becoming a dad to a son, "You can get away with dropping 'em a couple of times, and they'll still be okay. Can't really do that with a little girl." I'm guessing the McConaughey family reunions are a hoot.

The Brady Bunch's Cindy Brady, played by Susan Olsen was doing a radio interview when she had to run out of the room to puke - she'd been smashed the night before. I hate when that happens! Susan said about the incident, "Of course I threw up in the bathroom, it was better than throwing up on their face." Priceless.

Jessica Alba, who thinks she's way hotter as a blonde told British Cosmo about her marriage to Cash, "I'm way too high-maintenance to be in a relationship with an actor - they're all such divas!" Insert the whole pot/kettle scenerio here.

Kelly Ripa was set to run a race in high heels for Live with Regis and Kelly, and she covered her bases before the race, "If I win, it's because of my natural ability and if I lose, it's because I wasn't trying so hard." Now that's kinda smart actually!

An exhange between Chef Gordon Ramsey and actor Dustin Hoffman, while cooking fajitas on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno:

GR: "Dustin, can you stop burning 'em? Twenty seconds only!"

DH: "That's what she said." Ha.

Actor Steve Carell, using his quick wit to rescue his Get Smart co-star Anne Hathaway when reporters asked her about her recent breakup with Raffaello Follieri.

"In my role of agent [for] Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject."

And oldies but goodies:

Brooke Shields - "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."

Britney Spears - "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada."

Christina Aguilera - "So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year." One guess Xtina, one guess.

President George Bush - "They misunderestimated me."

Brooke Burke Is Just Like Us

trix — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:04:00 GMT

Brooke Burke knows what it's like to be sleep deprived like the rest of us. She just looks better.

Brooke recently wrote in her blog:

We are finally settled in our home. Shaya just turned 3 months old, and I feel like I have just surfaced. I am so sorry that I have not blogged in months. Any of you who have already had your baby know where I am coming from! Anyway, Shaya’s naps are getting longer, and my nighttime sleep intervals have gone from 2 hours to 4, thank God! The other day I googled sleep deprivation and I had no idea how responsible my sleepless nights were for everything I had been feeling. It effects your memory, metabolism, and of course patience for everyone in your family. I am happy to say it does get better, so hang in there new moms.

Last month was pregnancy awareness month and I was asked to speak on a panel about the work/life balance. I was invited to speak to hundreds of other working moms about how I do it. I had to laugh to myself as I thought of what a metaphor the topic is. Balancing motherhood and a career is my most challenging thing. I have realized in my experience that there is no right or wrong way to rear your children, and I had a hard time giving advice on “how to do it”. I have learned a lot from other moms, but I focus most on figuring out what works best for my family. I know that everything is curable with love. I tried to encourage moms to do the best they can and give themselves a break on the days when it doesn’t seem good enough. I also have to admit that I am a different mom the fourth time around. I think that is because there is a lot less of me to devote to all of them after you do the math. I am also starting to go back to work and there is always the guilt when I have to spend all day away from my babies. Somehow, it all works out, even though there is no perfect way.

I just designed a new product for the store. I have been using it to work out and lose the rest of my belly inches. It’s like Tauts but made out of neoprene. It is called Baboosh Body Sport and it is to be worn while you exercise. The fabric will make your core area sweat like crazy!!!! Great news, it is for Dads too.

Love, Brooke

Ah, Brooke, you sound so down to earth and it sounds like you have the same struggles the rest of us have.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

The Rock and Steve Carell: The Other Side of the Man Kiss

Whit Honea — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:33:00 GMT

This picture of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Steve Carell at Comic-Con was the only one I could find of them not kissing.

We already told you about Carell's take on their big screen smooch- he liked it.

Here's what the The Rock had to say:

"We thought what's the funniest, entertaining thing we could do at the end of the movie that would really make a good laugh and we came up with the kiss. But there's 300 crew members, they're all looking and laughing and joking. I just see Steve Carell's lips.

"So the bottom of a cat's paw - the soft supple part underneath - that's what Steve Carell's lips are like. But his tongue is like kitty cat litter. That's the physical experience."

Does this mean that Johnson has licked a cat or are we going strictly on texture? I've never tasted kitty cat litter, but I've had some pretty gnarly hangovers where I would have bet money that a cat had mistaken my mouth for the litter box. That's a taste thing, not texture.

Steve Carell's Kids Are Funny?

trix — Fri, 30 May 2008 18:55:00 GMT

Steve Carell and his wife Nancy Walls think their "kids are much funnier than they think we are".

How could his kids not be funny? They have funny genes, their parents met at Second City in Chicago. Elisabeth Anne and John are destined to have some sort of wit.

As long as it's not our Whit they should be okay.
