14 Weird Celebrity Photos From The '00s And '10s
I scavenged the internet to find some of the strangest, unhinged celebrity pics out there — and trust me, they did not disappoint. Here are 14 of the strangest celebrity photos that honestly feel made up (but aren't):
Simon Cowell holding Hello Kitty toast backstage at the 2002 Teen Choice Awards. TV's crankiest talent judge holding a piece of toast with Hello Kitty's face on it is the crossover event we never expected.
Pre-Transformers Megan Fox getting a caricature at the World of Disney Store opening. How 2004 of her.
Jack Black taking a breezy bike ride to the Late Night with David Letterman show in 2005. In true Jack Black fashion, he rolled up in boxers and sandals, giving New York commuters the most unforgettable pre-show entrance ever.
This photo of Zac Efron taking a hugeeee leap of faith during a 2006 High School Musical press event in Australia. The cast was posing together, but Zac? He took it to the next level—literally—by launching himself into the air. It's giving "Troy Bolton's final form."
Noah Centineo doing...whatever this pose is, at the 2019 Midsommar screening.
Justin Bieber holding a comically large tennis racket at the 2009 Arthur Ashe Kids Day. This is peak 2000s energy.
Nicki Minaj eating a turkey leg while performing on Good Morning America in 2011. The bright outfit and the sheer power stance lives rent-free in our minds.
Sharon Osbourne losing a tooth on live TV. During a 2020 episode of The Talk, Sharon's dental implant literally popped out mid-conversation. She laughed it off and kept going like it was just another day — iconic, unbothered, and just a little bit unhinged.
Ariana Grande cementing her hands for her 2011 track "Put Your Hearts Up." Why Grande did this to promote her debut single, we'll never understand. But honestly, what's more random than casting your hands in cement for a bubblegum pop song you'll eventually disown?
Will Ferrell casually holding a falcon. As part-owner for the Los Angeles Football Club, Will Ferrell participated in pre-game rituals by holding the team's falcon mascot in 2019. Just another day in the life.
Steve Carell dressing as Gru on The Ellen Show in 2017. We all knew Steve Carell voiced the iconic villain in Despicable Me, but seeing him fully commit to the role with prosthetics and a bald cap? That's next-level dedication.
Adam Sandler showing up to the 2025 Oscars in full dad attire is the kind of Academy Awards energy we didn't know we needed — and honestly? He's starting the "Adam Sandler Core" movement and we're so here for it.
Miley Cyrus "posing" at Jingle Ball 2013 is giving...something. We're not quite sure what, but we do know that the Bangerz era was truly unmatched for its peak chaos.
Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian visiting an Australian children's hospital in 2006. The fact that there's almost no context to these pics online makes this trio feel all the more like a fever dream.
So, did you find these photos just as random as I did? Have you seen some of these chaotic moments before, or did they unlock a new core memory? Let us know in the comments below!

Jay Leno says political comedy can alienate audiences: ‘I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture'
Jay Leno is happy standing in the middle of the aisle as far as political humor goes. During a recent conversation with David Trulio for The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the former late-night host spoke about some of the risks that can come with mixing politics and comedy. 'I like to think that people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from the things, the pressures of life, wherever it might be,' Leno told Trulio. 'And I love political humor, don't get me wrong, but what happens (is) people wind up cozying too much to one side or the other.' Leno then asked, 'Why shoot for just half an audience, why not try to get the whole (audience)?' 'I mean, I like to bring people into the big picture. I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group. Or just don't do it at all,' he said. 'I'm not saying you have to throw your support or whatever, but just just do what's funny.' His ethos then and now is simply just, 'Funny is funny,' he said, adding, 'I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture.' Leno's interview with Trulio appears to have been conducted prior to CBS announcing the cancellation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' CNN has reached out to a representative for Leno for comment. CBS announced earlier this month that the network was cancelling 'The Late Show,' a late night program that has been on the air since David Letterman hosted it in 1993. Colbert took over as host in 2015. The show will end in the spring of 2026. The network cited financial reasons for the move, but there have been questions about the timing of the announcement given Colbert's previous criticism of President Donald Trump and the recent settlement between the Trump administration and Paramount, the parent company of CBS, over a lawsuit involving '60 Minutes.' There were also questions about the move coming amid Skydance Media's $8 billion acquisition of Paramount, which required and recently received approval from federal regulators. Leno hosted 'The Tonight Show' on NBC from 1992 to 2009 before Conan O'Brien took over. Jimmy Fallon has served as host of the program since 2014. Fallon, along with other current late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers, all of whom are known to be critical of the Trump administration on their respective programs, voiced support for Colbert following the CBS announcement.

5 best Netflix comedies to stream after 'Happy Gilmore 2'
Netflix's newest No. 1 movie, "Happy Gilmore 2," is a long-awaited sequel to Adam Sandler's beloved sports comedy. Sandler reprises his role as the hot-headed Happy, a failed hockey player-turned-surprise golf sensation, who comes out of retirement and hits the green again to earn money for his daughter's (Sunny Sandler) ballet school. Like the original, it's packed with hilarious gags, underdogs worth cheering for, and celebrity cameos that'll have everyone talking. If you're one of many who have already checked "Happy Gilmore 2" and are now in the mood for more feel-good laughs, you're in luck. Netflix is home to plenty of must-watch comedies that fit the bill. Below, you can find five more Netflix comedies that you should stream after "Happy Gilmore 2." Director Richard Linklater delivered one of Netflix's most critically acclaimed original films to date with last year's "Hit Man," a darkly funny comedy thriller that cemented Glen Powell's status as a breakout Hollywood star. A cross between a breezy crime caper and a rom-com, "Hit Man" stars Powell as Gary Johnson, a buttoned-up college professor who poses as a hitman. Not the real deal, mind you, but rather a decoy that works with police to entrap would-be criminals. But when a mysterious femme fatale (Adria Arjona) enlists his services to eliminate her abusive husband, Gary's carefully constructed facade starts to unravel. Desperate to hide his true identity from her, he sets off a chain reaction of play-acting, deception, and escalating stakes that could have deadly consequences. If you missed it the first time around, "Hit Man" is a clever, energetic, and often sexy comedy with a dark edge that works on pretty much every level. Watch it now on Netflix If you're looking for a fresh spin on the classic buddy-comedy, "One of Them Days" is an absolute must-watch. It's a hilarious ride that fully leans into its over-the-top brand of chaos. Keke Palmer brings her signature charisma, but SZA manages to hold her own with surprisingly sharp comedic chops. Together, they make an unhinged but endearing duo, stumbling through one outrageous situation after another with undeniable chemistry. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "One of Them Days" follows two broke best friends, Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), whose bad luck gets worse when Alyssa's boyfriend disappears with their rent money for the month. With just hours to come up with $1,500 before their landlord kicks them out, they embark on a desperate quest to drum up some cash. They fall for a sketchy payday loan scheme (despite hilarious warnings from Katt Williams' scene-stealing character, Lucky), accidentally piss off a local gang, and dive headfirst into a string of misadventures in a race against the clock. Watch it now on Netflix If "Happy Gilmore 2" didn't satisfy your craving for pre-Y2K nostalgia and laughs, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" almost certainly will. Tim Burton's long-awaited sequel to his 1988 cult classic brings back Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara in fan-favorite roles, with Jenna Ortega, star of Burton's hit "Wednesday" series, throwing some fresh blood into the mix. Set decades after the original, the story picks up with Lydia Deetz (Ryder), who's turned her supernatural past into a career as the host of a popular ghost-hunting TV show. Too bad her daughter (Ortega) isn't buying any of it. When a family tragedy pulls Lydia back to her childhood home, she's forced to confront not only her eccentric stepmother (O'Hara) but also the return of the chaos-loving ghost with the most, Betelgeuse (Keaton). Burton's signature gothic style is in full force in "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," offering a nostalgic trip back to the bizarre, off-kilter world fans have been waiting decades to revisit. Watch it now on Netflix Hear me out: You don't need to have rolled a D20 (or even know what that is) to enjoy the "Dungeons and Dragons" movie. I went in with next to zero knowledge about D&D, expecting all the jokes to fly over my head, and I laughed so hard my sides hurt afterward. If you're into hilarious, self-aware fantasy romps that don't take themselves too seriously, this movie is absolutely worth adding to your watchlist. (It gave me big "The Princess Bride" vibes.) The story follows bard Edgin (Chris Pine) and his no-nonsense barbarian partner Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), who start the movie behind bars after a heist goes sideways. After an unorthodox jailbreak, they assemble a misfit crew that includes Simon (Justice Smith), a sorcerer with self-esteem issues, and the shape-shifting druid Doric (Sophia Lillis), to rescue Edgin's daughter and recover a powerful artifact. Preferably without dying. Along the way, they also cross paths with Xenk (Regé-Jean Page), a noble paladin who's so absurdly overpowered that he becomes a walking punchline in the best way. Watch it now on Netflix Netflix is light on Coen Brothers movies at the moment, but you can still find one of the comedy duo's most underrated gems, "Burn After Reading," on the platform. Looking back at it now, "Burn After Reading" feels ahead of its time, skewering CIA blunders and government bureaucracy with the Coens' signature dark wit. CIA analyst Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) kicks off a domino effect of absurdity after he angrily quits his job over a demotion and resolves to write a memoir about his career. Enter two bumbling gym employees, Brad Pitt's hyperactive jock Chad Feldheimer and Frances McDormand's narcissistic Linda Litzke, who mistake a draft of his book for top-secret government intel. The plot devolves into a convoluted mess from there, but that's part of its charm. And the Coen brothers fuel the absurdity by letting their star-studded cast act like complete idiots from start to finish.
