we forget they are human too! Reality check: they are just as entitled to
get pissed or embarrassed every once in a while as the rest of us. Prepare your
popcorns as we count down the 15 Angry and Awkward Celebrity Moments Caught on Camera!
What’s up, fact-natics! Welcome to Discovery Amuse,
serving up your daily dose of the most outrageous, outlandish, and out-of-this-world fun facts!
Stay tuned for our number one pick ‘coz he really dropped it like it’s hot!
Let’s get to it!
#15 Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj
This Popstar Wars sure came in like a wrecking ball!
In 2015, Nicki Minaj’s certified hit “Anaconda” failed to get the nod for Video of the Year at
the MTV VMAs. Upset at the snob, she did what any millennial would do: rant about it on Twitter! In
her tweet, Nicki brought up the music industry’s double standard when it comes to women of color.
However, her rant did not sit well with Miley Cyrus.
In an interview with New York Times, Miley did not mince words and implied that the
“Superbass” singer was just jealous of the other nominees. This started the
feud between the two pop divas, which culminated during the VMA awards show.
When Nicki accepted her VMA for best hip-hop video, she gave Miley a rather catty shoutout.
(play Nicki’s speech where she says:
Back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me… Miley, what’s good?)
(Then Miley says: Nicki, congratu-fucking-lations)
We’re just getting started! Keep watching because our number 1 entry will leave you utterly shookt!
#14 Chris Pratt
Just like his Avengers character Star-Lord, Chris Pratt is pretty much your regular
nice guy - except that he’s famous and constantly followed by annoying paparazzi.
But even the nicest guys can lose their cool sometimes.
Just like what happened in this clip! The Parks and Rec actor was seen giving out autographs
to his fans when one man threw a fit after the actor missed signing his paraphernalia.
Annoyed, Pratt rolled down his window and told the guy off for being rude.
#13 Will Smith
Trust us when we say that Wil Smith isn’t a Bad Boy for Life. He’s just not a very touchy person.
In this clip, Ukranian journalist Vitalii Sediuk pissed off the usually cool Smith
after attempting to give the star a kiss as a greeting.
Shocked, the Men in Black star responded with a solid slap to Vitalii’s face.
He even told his handlers later on that the reporter was lucky he didn’t punch him.
Smith’s reaction drew a lot of flak,
ranging from homophobia to ignorance of basic European etiquette.
One thing’s for sure; the Fresh Prince of Bel-air wasn’t cool about getting jiggy with strangers!
#12 Jesse Eisenberg
Press junkets can be extremely exhausting for actors, just ask Jesse Eisenberg.
During the promotion of his film,
Now You See Me, Jesse started nitpicking journalist Romina Puga’s interview style.
Jesse: Do you know the comedian Carrot-top?
Romina: Yes, horrible
Jess: Well, you are like the Carrot-Top of interviewers.
Romina: Ooh, I think I’m gonna cry now.
Jesse: No don’t cry now, cry after the interview is over
coz else I will look like I’m responsible…)
She later on said she felt humiliated and called Jesse “a jerk.” The clip went viral
and people called him out for his rude and obnoxious behavior.
Yeah, right.
#11 Paris Hilton
Say what you will about this
not-so-self-made-businesswoman but there’s no denying, Paris is the OG “celebutant!”
But ABC News Anchor Dan Harris may have gone a little too far with his questions when he
interviewed the hotel heiress in 2011.
In this clip, Harris asked Hilton’s reaction about being ‘past her prime’ and
how her former BFF, Kim Kardashian, has already overshadowed her fame.
(Harris: You were worried about your moment having passed?
Harris: You wanna wrap up?
Then Hilton walks away)
A few minutes later, the 90’s It Girl regained her composure and went back on cam
to talk about her plans moving forward.
Now, that’s hot, Paris!
#10 Björk
Who would’ve thought welcoming a celebrity to your country could get you into a scuffle?
This is what reporter Julie Kaufman learned after Icelandic singer Bjork
attacked her at a Bangkok airport in 1996!
Bjork’s team later accused Kaufman that she was harassing Bjork’s nine-year-old
son after the “Utopia” singer refused to answer her questions.
#9 Burt Reynolds
Now this 1994 clip of Burt Reynolds and Marc Summers’ appearance in the
Tonight Show with Jay Leno is television gold!
In the interview, Reynolds was offended with Summers’ quip about his recent divorce,
and just like in the dramas, Reynolds dumped a cup of water into Summers’ lap! When the game
show host tried to retaliate, he got soaked with another cup which almost hurt him in the face!
But all’s well that ends well when the two celebrities decided to
settle their disagreement with a friendly game of pie-face!
#8 Cara Delevingne
“Paper Towns” was Cara Delevingne’s first gig as leading lady in a major
Hollywood movie. But I guess she wasn’t prepared for all the media promo that came with it.
Her interview for Good Day Sacramento in 2015
got off to a bumpy start after one of the hosts read her name wrong.
Things escalated quickly when the visibly tired and annoyed actress replied to the
anchors’ questions with more a than tiny dose of sarcasm.
(Anchor: The book is taught in a lot of schools, did you get a chance
to read it or do you even have time to sit down and read…
Cara: No, I never read the book or the script actually,
I kinda winged it. No of course I read the book.)
The interview went all kinds of awkward when the anchors called Delevingne out for her attitude.
(Anchor: I saw you in London a couple of weeks ago
and you seemed a lot more excited than you do right now.
Cara: Ooh, no I mean I’m still very excited, the premiere last night was an emotional night,
but I’m not any less excited. Maybe I need more energy, it’s the morning.
Anchor: We’ll let you go then, how about that, we’ll let you take a nap and maybe a Red Bull.)
#7 Samuel L. Jackson
Unlike Cara Delevingne, Nick Fury had all the reasons to
be furious with this entertainment reporter.
During a live interview for his movie RoboCop,
Jackson was mistaken for another black actor by reporter Sam Rubin!
(Rubin: Did you get a lot of reaction that that Superbowl commercial?
Jackson: What Superbowl commercial?)
For reference, Rubin was referring to this ad.
(play Kia Superbowl Ad feat. Lawrence Fishburne)
(Rubin: Oh, you know what, my mistake…
Jackson:
You’re as crazy as the people on Twitter, I’m not Lawrence Fishburne! We don’t all look alike.)
I guess Rubin should take it easy on the blue pill. It’s
messing up his eyesight. #6 Billy Joe Armstrong
At the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas,
the Green Day front man saw red when he had an onstage meltdown.
And to be honest, who wouldn’t, if you’re told that you only have
one minute to play because the previous artist went overtime!
(Armstrong: Give me a fucking break, one minute left. You’re gonna give one fucking minute? Let me
tell you something, I’ve been around since 1988. What the fuck, I’m not fucking Justin Bieber!)
Perhaps he went a little overboard with the expletives, but I can’t blame the guy.
#5 Scarlett Johansson
Sexist questions are the bane of any Hollywood actress. But
the Black Widow-actor made sure to put the Extra reporter in his place when he
asked her this not-very-subtle question during the promo tour for the movie “Avengers.”
(Interviewer: Were you able to wear undergarments…
Scarlett: You’re like the fifth person that’s asked me that. What is going on? Since when did
people start asking people about their underwear? Interviewer: No because…
Scarlett: I’ll leave it up to your imagination.)
Nope, the question didn’t get Lost in Translation. It was just plain tasteless.
#4 Quentin Tarantino
Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino is best known for his over-the-top
violent films like Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, and Kill Bill.
But for someone who indulges in onscreen gore-fest,
he didn’t have a lot to say when asked by journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy
about the correlation between cinematic and real-life violence.
(Krishnan: But why are you so sure there’s no link between enjoying movie violence
and enjoying real violence?
Tarantino: Well, why I’m so sure? Don’t ask me a question like that, I’m not biting.
Krishnan: But you see Jamie Foxx has said, we can’t turn our back and say that…
Tarantino: Well then you should talk to Jamie Foxx about it.
Krishnan: No it’s my job to try and ask you…
Tarantino: And I’m shutting your butt down.)
#3 Robert Downey, Jr.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy sure knows how to push the buttons of A-listers!
Over the years, RDJ. has worked hard to move on from his dark and sordid past,
eventually bagging his most iconic role to date as the one and only Iron-Man.
But Hollywood reporters always find a way to make the ghosts from your past come back to haunt you!
(Krishnan: You talked in another interview about
your relationship with your father and the role of all of that in the dark periods, you
know taking drugs and all that, I just wondered whether you think you’re free of all of that?
RDJ: I’m sorry, uh what are we doing?
Krishnan: Well, I’m just asking questions…
RDJ: Bye.)
Can’t blame RDJ though, it was a press junket, not a counseling.
We still love you, 3,000!
#2 Kanye West
If there is one celebrity who could take up an entire
list of angry and awkward moments caught on cam, it would be Kanye West.
From Taylor Swift to Barack Obama, this hip-hop artist and fashion designer
is known for making sure his opinions are heard.
Just like in his 2013 interview with Sway Calloway’s radio show. In the clip
Kanye expressed his frustration over the big fashion brands’ lack of support for his ideas.
(Kanye: I’m standing up and I’m telling you, I am Warhol.
I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
Why don’t you empower yourself and do it yourself?
Kanye: You ain’t got the answers man, you
ain’t got the answers! You ain’t got the answers, Sway! I’ve been doing this more than you!)

#1 Snoop Dogg
Here comes the OG of keepin’ it real and dirty on camera!
While in Norway for the Hove Festival for which he was headlining, Snoop was asked by
this reporter why he was arrived late.
(Reporter: You’re five hours late here.
Snoop: Man shut the fuck up. Nigga be happy I’m here. Now ask me some real questions.
Reporter: I was just wondering why you were late…
Snoop: I was late because I wanted to get some chicken wings.)
Apparently, Martha Stewart’s BFF was held up at Customs after detection dogs
sniffed marijuana on his luggage!
Seemed like the Top Dawg’s imagination was still
running high during that interview, don’t you think?
