Britney, Jessica & W.: Five Dumbest Celebrity Food Quotes

Lady Gaga loves Japanese food

While in Japan for a benefit concert recently, Lady Gaga told the Associated Press that she's going to enjoy Tokyo and its food, and that her fans should do the same. "The most important thing, and the best thing, we could do for Japan right now is to boost tourism, and so everyone come to Japan and come enjoy the beautiful country," she said, probably forgetting that most of her "little monsters" back home might not be able to afford to hop on a plane to Tokyo for the sushi.

This prompted us to gather other out-there comments about food from celebs. Herein a list (celebrity chefs not included - we're saving them for a future post).

5. "Is this chicken or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says Chicken of the Sea." - Jessica Simpson

Dumb-o-Meter Rating: 3

It's really kinda like kicking a small puppy to say anything mean about Jessica Simpson. She tries so hard to make sense out of the world and, frankly, there are a lot of confusing foods - Chicken of the Sea, jumbo shrimp, buffalo wings (Ms. Simpson got that one wrong, too). We're hoping the musician/shoe mogul comes out with a line of non-confusing food products. No names, just helpful pictures of cows and fish and chickens on the label.

4. "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff." - Mariah Carey

Dumb-o-Meter Rating: 6

As sure as she loves butterflies, glitter makeup and skin-tight stripper dresses, Diva Mimi has yoyo'd with her weight -- we have too. But even though we'd like to be movie star thin, we're going to take a pass at third-world-nation starvation. Even though we secretly agree with Mariah that flies and death and stuff doesn't sound half as much fun as dinner at The Ivy.

3. "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." - Britney Spears

Dumb-o-Meter Rating: 8

Maybe someone should tell Brit Brit that Japanese stores sell Cheetos and Starbucks. I'm sure she'd be on the first plane to Africa in that case. Or something like that.

2. "Limp Bizkit Ice Cream would taste like the sweetest pair of panties in the world. It would taste like sushi. Sushi or panties." - Fred Durst

Dumb-o-Meter Rating:10

Ummmm....wow! Hey Fred? You know what Limp Bizkit Ice Cream would really taste like? Douchbaggery! In any event, we'll stick with the Chunky Monkey. Oh and Fred? Ewwwwwwww.

1. "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." - George W. Bush

Dumb-o-Meter Rating: 10

Thank you Mr. President, but placing food on my family actually became quite lucrative for us. You see, in the interest of capitalism and starting a small business, we have now all become naked sushi models. So ever since I've put food on my family, I've been able to put food in my family. Which is something that you, unlike the Liberal media, understand.

George bush is the dumbest person on this world dunno how he was elected to be a president

Unlike the inexperienced entrepeneur currently in the White House now. LOL

The Maria Carey one is fake look it up. Snopes it.

When George Bush isn't gaging on pretzels and choking on peanuts, he is bastardizing the English language. Anyway, it was nice seeing what he has been up to since leaving the White House.

Nathan Mitchell

I'm sure a funnier quote from George Bush could have been found. Britney Spears quote is probably the best. Or maybe the Jessica Simpson one. Mariah Carey's is just insensitive and wrong. Where was her publicist when she started that sentence?!

I didn't particularily care for the guy, but you clearly have a personal problem with George W Bush. His comment is a slip of the tongue not really a "food" quote except that it has the word food in it. Jessica Simpson asking whether or not tuna is chicken or fish only gets a 3 on your scale? that's crazy, that was one of the most airheaded stupid things I've ever heard. Brittney Spears says that Japanese people only eat fish and are from Africa and you give her an 8? I know it's your blog and you're entitled to your own opinion, but have a little objectivity.

Here's why I rated Pres. Bush so highly - he was the President of the U.S.A. when he said that. Meaning he should be oh-so-much smarter than the airhead entertainers that are on the list otherwise. Plus I like Jessican Simpson, probably because she's not as diva-like and self-destructive as some other entertainers on the list (or so it seems). So I graded on a scale, just like back in High School.

Thank you short order, true about Bush. He WAS our president and should of known better. A jackass president for sure. Piece of shit would never know what hardships are in life.

Plus that quote was on a damn television show... It was supposed to be a "reality show" but come on.... Everyone knows people on those shows don't act naturally and probably are either flat out scripted by producers(fights, various conversations and the like) or the cast themselves spend hours planning on what to say and do to look good on camera.... I can't believe people don't seem to get that it was likely something she said to be funny... which it was.... It was funny because it made her come off as stupid but I'd bet anything she wasn't actually confused over it...She's by far not the brightest crayon out there but she's at least smart enough to realize that and be able to make fun of herself.. The other people on this list are the types that are so stupid and arrogant they can't even do that.
