We all say some pretty dumb things sometimes, but luckily for us, most of our verbal slip-ups don't happen in the middle of an interview that's broadcast to a massive television audience. Unfortunately for celebrities, though, you don't get a lot of mercy when you have millions of people paying attention to every word that comes out of your mouth.
We've seen some stars do some pretty strange things before, such as giving their kids names we would never dream of giving our own children. But even so, it can be pretty surprising when someone rich and famous seems to lack even a first-grade education. Jimmy Fallon has made us crack up in the past when he imagined all the ridiculous conversations that our favorite celebs might be having with each other, but sometimes, reality can be the greatest form of comedy!
Check out these hilariously dumb celebrity quotes, but be warned — these are going to make you want to facepalm yourself pretty hard! I'm willing to bet that number 14 was just the result of a tangled tongue, but there's no excuse for number three. If these stars are anything like me, I bet they find themselves staying awake at night asking themselves, "Why oh why did I say that?!"
