10. Jaden Smith’s Social Media Gems
We have social media to blame for exposing all of us to the inane, sometimes pseudo-profound teenage pearls of wisdom of Jaden Smith. Perhaps it’s unfair to judge someone based on their teenage wisdom. Let’s consider the evidence from 2013 when he wrote,
“How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real?” And, this pithy comment, “Most trees Are Blue.” Then, there are the big questions in life, such as, “If a bookstore never runs out of a certain book, does that mean that nobody reads it, or everybody reads it?”
He’s also turned his Tweets towards big issues like food production. “There Is No Nutrients In Our Food Anymore Or In Our Soil OR IN OUR WATER.” At least, he’s unapologetic about…whatever it is he thinks he’s doing. “I encourage you all to unfollow me so I can be left with the people who actually appreciate philosophy and poetry. #CoolTapeVol2.” He also once accused a Toronto hotel of “spiking” his pancakes with cheese, (they included ricotta).
9. Paris Hilton Wasn’t An Act
These days, Paris Hilton is trying to plug her business ventures and claims that the dumb blonde act was the idea of Simple Life producers, and a complete fabrication. Of course, it was just an act… like the time she was introduced to the concept of department stores.
“What’s Walmart? Do they sell like wall stuff?” she pondered.
We’ll also note that, back in 2006, intrepid reporters located tapes of an interview that Paris had with Los Angeles cops. They were questioning her about a burglary that had occurred at the home of Jose Francis, the founder of the defunct Girls Gone Wild videos — this is the guy, mind you, who has since been convicted of multiple crimes, including tax evasion, false imprisonment, and more. Paris had apparently told Francis she’d heard a rumor about the theft. But, when the cops asked her about it, she said, “Like I really, I don’t remember. I’m not, like, that smart. I forget stuff all the time.”
8. Christina Aguilera Cannes Confusion
“So, where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?” It was one of Xtina’s more memorable comments on the record. It’s a funny thing that IQ and ego seem to go in opposite directions. The smartest people are often the most humble, while the dumbest…“I’m not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.” Uh, sure. Some of her comments are just puzzling. “Call me a slag. If it means being a strong woman, I’ll gladly be that.” Or, how about, “I wouldn’t feel right wearing clothes covering my body.” We’re not really sure how to respond.
