Quirky Celebrity FactsWhat do famous people do with their time off-camera? Oh, write cookbooks, maintain elaborate fish tanks, and never leave the house. These list contain the most quirky celebrities and celebrity facts.
To put it politely, celebrities are better known for being good looking than for being super smart. Thanks to social media, their more questionable opinions - and shaky grasp on scientific facts - are more accessible now than ever. It's difficult to go too many days without hearing about some eyebrow-raising thing someone famous said.
But let's be fair: the lives of famous people are so vastly different from ours, so it's understandable that their points of reference may be equally out of touch. When Gwyneth Paltrow said she'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a can, we have to remember that, in her beautiful fantasy world, cheese and cans are never even in the same sentence.
We hope you enjoy this list of quirky celebrities and famous folks whose common sense has lapsed a time or two.

Tyrese Gibson is known for sometimes going off on Twitter, but he took the cake in 2011 when he publicly thanked Pandora for playing his music "all the time."
He has since deleted the tweet, seemingly discovering the errors of his ways, but there are thankfully still screenshots of it.
When asked in 2004 if she'd ever want to try her hand at Broadway, Spears responded by saying that she'd "like to start somewhere small, like London or England."
To be fair, she also reportedly once said that Canada is overseas.
Jaden Smith is the master of soon-to-be-trending aphorisms, but his philosophizing got the best of him in 2013 when he tweeted: “How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?”
