Everyone says something stupid from time to time. Though, most of us probably get away with it pretty easily, since people just laugh it off and forget about our silly brain farts pretty fast. However, if you're one of the famous people then it's a completely different story. It appears that everything a popular celebrity says (or tweets) is carefully logged on the internet and available at all times. Especially if that person doesn't appear to be the smartest cookie in the jar or is lacking some basic education, then that kooky celebrity quote is going to be here forever.
We here at Bored Panda decided to dig into that cloud of shame and find out what are the most stupid quotes that were said by Hollywood stars and famous people from different paths of stardom. From funny to completely delusional, these interesting quotes will certainly make you feel better that you're not the one who said these things in public. Scroll below to read the dumb quotes list!

Carl Everett
"God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Somebody actually saw Adam and Eve eating apples. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex."
Someone please put him back in school. Sports and religion both seem to be against critical thinking.
The serpent, who evolved into the first paparazzo?

Load More Replies...Shaquille O’Neal
Reporter: “Did you visit the Parthenon during your trip to Greece?”
Shaquille O’Neal: “I can’t really remember the names of the clubs we went to.”
If that's the representative of today's culture 🤦 But, on the other hand it is pretty funny. Like they're speaking different languages. To be fair, misunderstandings happen. And I wouldn't be too surprised if there's also a club called Parthenon somewhere in Greece
He's not representative of today's culture, he's representative of yesterday's basket-ball. Athletes aren't generally known for their high degree of culture.
Load More Replies...If it was meant to be funny, if not it’s pretty darn sad.
Load More Replies...I wouldn't be surprised if this was a joke. Shaq has a great sense of humor 😝
Kanye West
"I actually don't like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don't. I do not like to think at all."
More so the people who follow him/idolize him..
Load More Replies..."I think, therefore I am," -- Descartes (1637). "I don't think, therefore I am rich, mf-as!." -- Kanye (2016)
He’s a complete idiot anyway , so this doesn’t suprise me at all
Britney Spears
"I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that’s very popular out there in Africa"
Wait, but what did you tell them? You had an opportunity to be a troll, lol did you take it?
Load More Replies...Aside from someone saying that guys and girls have the exact same genital areas, that is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard someone say.
I guess it moved. Maybe the fishing was better.🤦♀️
Load More Replies...This one, like many of these, are more about the embarrassing state of geography education.
... Spears defended President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq. ”Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes and should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens,” said the gum-chewing singer. Asked if she trusted the president, she said: ”Yes, I do.” ...
Paris Hilton
"No, no, I didn’t go to England, I went to London."
I don't live in North America. I live in the United States of America
Never been to the US, loved visiting San Francisco though.
Load More Replies...Lets be fair here; this is probably one of the smarter things Paris has said.
Well , she is in good company, our king of Sweden is also geographically challenged, he was in the city Arboga and started his speech "Dear people of Örebro " (another Swedish town, in no way similar to Arboga)
Awwww, poor little rich kid.........................who said having money makes you smart?
To be fair, she never took geography in school...wait...did she ever need to go to school?
Jaden Smith
“If everybody in the world dropped out of school, we would have a much more intelligent society.”
It would make zero difference to intelligence, but now with an uneducated society.
Big words from a kid trying to be famous by riding daddy's coat tails. Jayden has always been smug and pretentious. I don't get why Will doesn't try to straighten him out, but I guess that's his problem
I don't think that's true.. but I can see why h think that
Load More Replies...What he means I think, and to which I agree is that a lot of our Western education systems do not provide for many, many people out there. Especially the kind that will get educated just because the information is all around us. He is also an example of what happens if there is no structure in learning about how to learn and lacks the life experience to put a lot of the freely available information into perspective. We need an educational system, the current one does need some work though.
Load More Replies...Actually..I get what he's saying. American public school systems try to fit all the kids in perfect little boxes channeling them towards a career they think they're suited for instead of allowing the kids to figure it out for themselves. If the kids, instead, went to schools that were geared towards what they want to pursue, you'd find a lot more intelligent people out there. It's like expecting your General Practitioner to do open heart surgery. Sure he could probably do it. But wouldn't you rather have a surgeon that specializes in cardiovascular surgery?
I would like to hear the context, there was probably more to the point. Not as literal as this sentence sounds
I think I remember this, he was talking about homeschooling or something. Statistically, he's right.
Load More Replies...say someone who could've been in any expensive school in the world… while others fight just for being able to eat.
He's homeschooled lol he only went to a real school for a few weeks of his life just to see what it's like and he hated it so now he's talking s**t about school

Jessica Simpson
“Is this chicken or is this fish? I know it’s tuna but it says ‘Chicken of the Sea’.”
If it was a reality show quote there should be an asterisk by it. There's a good chance that it was scripted.
Nope. She really is that dumb. We have mutual friends in common so I used to hang out with them when she was in town. Not a very nice person either. At all.
Load More Replies...want to upvote that more! I think it took a while for my parents to make my siblings understand that it was not "Welsh Rabbit"
Load More Replies...I discovered sea chicken at the supermarket 2 days ago and I had to search about it. I suspected tuna because it looked like a can of tuna and I knew it was not chicken of course but I thought it could be a fish I didn't know. Why name something that has another name?!
Infamous line to Nick Leshay. No wonder he couldn’t wait to divorce her.
She is asking to have metaphors explained. She knew she was missing something, but couldn't express it well. Wanting to learn isn't bad!
Brooke Shields
"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost an important part of your life"
Yeah, Brooke. If you have been killed, you have lost an important part of your life. The pulse of your heart and the breath in your lungs. Huh.
Bearing in mind the earlier article about how people mangle the English language and come out with a load of nonsense... maybe that's what's happened here and for some of the others?
Justin Bieber
When asked what political party he’d support if he was old enough to vote, Bieber responded: “I’m not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”
it's like asking for his views on animal cruelty and he responds with pineapple with pizza is crime.
Remember when he said rape was really sad, but everything happens for a reason?
While this one is bad, my personal favorite is when he visited Anne Frank's house and said she would have been a Bieleber
I'm thankful every day that the United States has adopted our Canadian idiot.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Asked whether he supported gay marriage, Arnold replied, "No, I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman."
These are all taken out of the context. Also, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a well known supporter of LGBT rights, including during his Governorship of California.
There was also a reporter that asked him if he would run for President lol. He can't since he was not born in America.
Kellie Pickler
"I thought Europe was a country."
She said this on a trivia game show and the host of the show was rude to her it still makes me angry; he said something that ended with "because you're a woman"...
She actually acknowledges her mistake, that's not dumb, that's as smart as you can get. It takes guts to say you were wrong and if the host made her feel bad for it, then he is a first class a**hole.
Load More Replies...Don't worry about it. Most people think that Africa is a country.
Trump thinks Africa is a country, for instance - and a Sh!!thole one, too!
Load More Replies...As a European (the continent), and citizen of Greece (one of the countries of said continent), I can tell you you are the confirmation of the bad name Americans have in Europe as to have no clue about Geography (and world History,...)
I witnessed this in east Asia too, though... The place famous for, amongst else, high education, wisdom and philosophers.
Load More Replies...She was an American Idol contestant. She was not one of the brightest people on that show.
Load More Replies...That's why we always say that we learn new things everyday right? So it's not weird, I think every one does have a misconception thing like that, that we just recently realized when we learned about it.

Mike Tyson
"I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian"
It was just a small mistake. Everyone needs to just Chile out.
Not fair, this guys job was getting punched in the head for years lol.
I'm giving him props for this one. It's a hard word for someone who's taken as many blows to the head as this guy.
Dalai Lama
“I mean, if a female Dalai Lama come, then she must be very attractive. Otherwise not much use.”
Buddhism is a philosophy, not a religion. Practicians come from various religions in addition to following the philosophy.
Load More Replies...Yep - he did try to correct it later but, oops, too late.
Load More Replies...After what they did in Rohingya why do people still think Buddhism is pinnacle of religions. Let the down votes commence.
Not going to down vote, but never judge a religion/philosophy by its followers. Ever.
Load More Replies...And he explained: Because if it were like that people would,finally,listen to the teachings of budddhism.Because there is more of a chance that people listen to a hot female than an old guy.
Downvotes? No you are right. Dumping on famous people from out of context statments is much more prefered
Load More Replies...Wow - didn't realise that the Dalai Lama was so sexist - I guess it originated in a patriarchal society but ???
Yes, many societies are patriarchal, but so are almost all religions. Buddhism has a class system like Hinduism, and women are considered much lower than men in these religions.
Load More Replies...Sienna Miller
"I love them. Love them. I think the more positive approach you have to smoking, the less harmful it is."
the pessimist says it can't get more worse but the optimist says ofcourse it can
This is related to the very wide-spread belief that optimistic people have better cancer survival rates. [There's various studies supporting this, but mostly flawed.] So this is just an extreme version of a common belief!
Does smoking kill brain cells? Yes. "Nicotine can kill brain cells and stop new ones forming in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in memory, says a French team. The finding might explain the cognitive problems experienced by many heavy smokers during withdrawal, they say"
ok, keep that mind when can't breathe properly anymore, and maybe have a hole in your throat
Kim Kardashian
Kim on her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries: "I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life. She's 18. And I was like, that's how I feel."
*That's* the one you chose? An internet search reveals that pretty much everything she says is dumb.
Before I even read it, I was like "this oughta be good", but I was let down.
Load More Replies...F*ck this woman and her whole family. They are terrible people who are harming society by glamourising and promoting shallowness and ignorance.
Yes, but think of how much prettier everyone is now. We all glow! {sarcasm}
Load More Replies...And she managed to make it all about herself. What an insensitive prick of woman!
I mean a bad marriage is just like a cancer. It grows and grows until it damn near kills you and there's no cure other than cutting it out. So she's not wrong HOWEVER, it's not the same. And I hope it turned out alright for the 18 year old.
Honey, you dont know sh*t about stuff like that. You have no clue what its like to go through something terrible, something that could impact your life. The worst thingthat ever happened to you is when you break a f*cking nail.
Craig T. Nelson
"I've been on foodstamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No."
And... What exactly are foodstamps and welfare if they aren't "help"?? Well, I suppose some people consider them a lifestyle....
I think he may not be the sharpest tool in the shed - I also remember him explaining that mayo had fewer calories than ketchup because it was white...?
The low fat mayo variety definitely has fewer calories but not enough to be lower than ketchup. If he really did say that then all I can respond to that with is we all say stuff to sound smart
Load More Replies...That's like calling your country the greatest in the world when you can't even keep your people healthy... oh... right...
Bill O'reilly
"I’ll tell you why [religion’s] not a scam. In my opinion, all right? Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can explain why the tide goes in…"
I am so tired I thought he was talking about tide..as in the laundry detergent...
Except for the very clear explanation for tides that scientists have been giving for decades, Bill. We know EXACTLY how to explain that.
Amanda Bynes
To Rihanna "Chris Brown Beat You Because You're Not Pretty Enough"
no Amanda he beat her because he took her for granted and wasn't taught you can't hurt anybody else's body
This was during her mental breakdown. Not funny to laugh at her sickness.
She said this before getting psychiatric treatment. This shouldn't count.
Was she also the one who wanted Drake to "destroy her" correct?
Load More Replies...Okay- pretty sure this was said when she was really going through it, as in shortly before she was institutionalized. Soooo... yeeshk. Yeah, she said a lot of messed up stuff, because mental illnesses will do weird things to you. Because of that this one just seems more mean to bring up.
Her mental health was on a downward spiral for a good few years at that time. She posted a lot of really weird tweets. She has since removed herself from the public eye and is getting help.
Doesn't she have some type of mental-health diagnosis? Still a horrid thing to say, though.
Geraldo Rivera
“I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters, particularly, to not let their young children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.”
Wow!!!!! Just...wow!! Where is this man's mom? He needs his a*s whooped.
I knew as soon as I saw Geraldo that he would have a comment that was both stupid and offensive, he didn't disappoint.
He may have a point. If Trayvon was not wearing a hoodie, would Zimmerman have been afraid of him? After all, they were both persons of color. A black unarmed kid walking across the yard should hardly be of much interest to an Hispanic; but with the hood up the black kid is suddenly a threat. It's the current popular mindset. Appearances matter more than we're willing to admit.
Kelly Osbourne
"If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?"
What makes this even worse, is Rosie Perez was the guest. When she said that, Rosie and a couple of the others said they have more to offer than just that. Osborne got really defensive and said "come on, I would never mean it like that!" Rosie Perez was forced to apologise to Kelly Osborne. Absolutely vile.
Shut. Up. Or I will hit you with the chancla
Load More Replies...I think she was making a point about the number of immigrants who end up in low paid, menial employment, which a lot of the people born there feel beneath them.
That's exactly it. They end up doing the jobs others deem s****y, but ones that in reality are essential jobs, like cleaning. So if all immigrants are throun out, who will do them. I don't understand how nobody gets this.
Load More Replies...Kelly? Sweetie? Hand me the foundation...give it to me...it's ok...hand it over...no no no...all of it..powder and cream...oookkkaaayy...
Not really that dumb. Every Western country relies on immigrant workers doing the menial jobs others turn their noses up at, cleaning, service industries, fruit picking, the list is endless. Without them things would grind to a halt.
Mitt Romney
"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love."
I don't know half of you half as well as I would like and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve
David Beckham
"We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened, but we don't know into which religion."
In his defense, "Christening" is in reference to "Christ" and Christianity and thus, could apply to multiple religious rituals/rites.
That's correct. But the question is: what religion do the patents follow? What do they really believe? Or are they going shopping to get a religion? The cheapest? The coolest? The one with the most beautiful temples? I guess everyone has the right to do whatever they want, but that's a really dumb statement.
Load More Replies...Agreed. We raised our son to be moral and kind, not in any certain religion. Eclectic. He turned out just fine - he's a moral and kind young man. HE gets to choose what "religion" he feels the closest to.
Load More Replies...Yeah this was just taken out of context - I'm picking up what he is putting down
Let's be fair. he is not famous for his brain but his feet and the women he married is no better, God help the kids.
Dan Quayle
"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system!"

An inelegant way of saying that we should get with utilizing solar energy on a large scale.
Madonna
"Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion."
And everyone is entitled to my opinion about you not being entitled to your opinion.
Actually, i am going to borrow this one. I already constantly say things like "don't get me right", and "i am always right, even when im wrong - i am right", so this will totally fit in with the collection!
Load More Replies...Elizabeth Hurley
"I’ve always thought Marilyn Monroe looked fabulous, but I’d kill myself if I was that fat. I went to see her clothes in the exhibition, and I wanted to take a tape measure and measure what her hips were. (laughter) She was very big.”
Big or not, in 2019, I am sure that there are more people who knows who is Marilyn Monroe than people who knows who is Liz Hurley.
And WONDERFUL curves at that!! So much, that the "style" is coming back!
Load More Replies...Marilyn is a freaking GODDESS compared to what ever Liz thinks she could EVER BE!
Marilyn was tiny! She had period when she appeared fuller but she was pregnant at the time. Most photos I see of her, she had extra great body, slim but with lovely curves. Anyone who calls that fat is stupid, and even extra stupid for saying that she would kill herself if she had that body. That body was amazing! I would work out like crazy if I had any chance to achieve that.
I don't see the problem with boredpanDaman's post but I'm probably blind.
Load More Replies...Is this idiot the woman who was Hugh Grant's girlfriend when he had that "incident" in the USA? Because her name rings a (tiny) bell, but I don't remember seeing her in any film. She's an idiot, anyway, so, who cares what she thinks?
that's true ,actually. she was not FAT, but she was not thin like models and actresses of the era
Actually, most models & actresses back then were bigger.
Load More Replies...George Gobel
"If it weren't for electricity, we'd all be watching television by candlelight."
Some of these shouldn’t really be on here namely this one
Load More Replies..."Celebrity" George Gobel? Also, given that he was a stand-up comic and said something funny --- why is he on this list!?!
likewise if weren't for trees, we'd all be eating apples from factories
If it were for factories, we'd all have to get out bees from honey
Load More Replies...Well, he's not wrong. We could. No one says the TV has to be turned on to watch it, right?
WRONG!! That was not misspeaking--that was one of George's jokes--no more than referring to his wife as "spooky ol' Alice!"
Lena Dunham
“Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”
This just pisses me off. I personally find abortion abhorrent, but this statement trivializes those women who are traumatized, desperate, frightened and see it as their only choice. The women with her attitude are the only ones I will ever actually judge. Her statement feels like fingernails on a chalkboard
She is such an attention seeking creep, I seriously think she needs mental help.
Yeah, because it's real fun, you idiot... By the way, who the hell is this imbecile?
She made the TV show Girls which was a hit for a while in 2012 before she fell off the map. She's an embarassment to true feminists.
Load More Replies...I just look forward to a time when abortion is no longer a necessary evil.
The statement only makes sense if she has a child -but gawd, I hope not.
Sylvester Stallone
"The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can't change. After I die, I'll probably come back as a paintbrush."

Cameron Diaz
“I’ve been noticing gravity since I was very young.”
It is. In the article she's talking about her body issues. "On her body: "It's a roller coaster like any other relationship you have. Like with your car, you're like, 'I just love this car- it drives so fast!' And then you're like, 'God, I really need a new car...I wish I at least had another cupholder'." "I`ve been noticing gravity since I was very young."
Load More Replies...My point, that sounds like a self deprecating comment about breasts which is actually subtly funny
I just came home from a climbing contest. No gravity would make things so, so, so much easier!
Load More Replies...She was talking about how things seem to “fall” as you get older. 🤣
Taken out of context because the article she mentions this quote, she is referring to her body issues and aging.

About taking on the role of Green Lantern Jessica Cruz: "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. I think it's so stupid because of this whole minorities in Hollywood thing. It's so stupid. Stop stealing all the white people's superheroes. Make up your own. What's up with that?"

Let us not forget Sir Cheeto, king of lies: "I have a great relationship with the blacks." "The beauty of me is that I'm very rich." "Grab them by the pussy." "I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." I can keep going.
Dumb, yes, but human nonetheless…show me a Panda who never said anything dumb!
"Celebrities".... I had to google half of them cause I've never seen or heard about them
Nothing about Katy Perry and buffalo wings??? It was so popular Pizza Hut even hired her to be in a commercial.
I love this,and i love when people from hollywood teach us about morals,politics,world views ect
How about the vast majority of what Charlie Sheen has said. Or some of George W. Bushism's.
Why seem so many Americans do not know about geography or other countries history?
Kelly Pickler has said much worse. She is playing the "dumb blonde" card on purpose
Yeah, I think many influencers and celebrities are doing that. Easy way to get attention (= more money). Kinda smart actually
