The iconic Motown singer reentered the pop culture chat with a video from his Cameo service, the platform where stars can make personalized videograms for fans. In it, the star is totally confused about what 'Chanukah' is. "My mom grew up on the same street as Smokey Robinson in Detroit. So for Chanukah, I wanted to reunite them via @Cameo," one Twitter user wrote. "But the video takes a strange twist." Robinson says hello to the mother, then says, "They wanted me to wish you a happy Cha-noo-kah. I have no idea what Cha-noo-kah is, but happy Cha-noo-kah because they said so. Anyway, God bless you babe. And enjoy Cha-noo-kah." To be fair, Americans traditionally spell the holiday "Hanukkah," but it was endearing to see the singer try.
When Kanye West's new album 'Donda' dropped, his then-wife Kim Kardashian took to her Instagram stories to share screenshots of herself listening to some songs from the album, but as 'Ok Ok, Pt. 2' started playing on her device, fans noticed that her volume was at the lowest possible level. "NOT KIM LISTENING TO DONDA ON MUTE," one fan shared on Twitter. Naturally, the internet had a field day. Though Kim didn't publicly comment on her gaffe, she quietly deleted it and added others—this time with the volume up.
J.Law has made many headlines thanks to her down-to-earth antics, like tripping up the stairs at the 2013 Oscars.

Seth Rogen's hosting gig at the 2021 Emmys went awry when he announced that Hannah Waddingham had won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, for her role in 'Ted Lasso.' Rogen announced that the award was going to "Hannah Waddington," whoever that is... Fans on Twitter joked that Rogen probably blazed up before going on stage. Waddingham seemed unphased by the incident, reveling in her big win.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham was interviewing contributor Raymond Arroyo who, while discussing "woke storylines," brought up an episode of the show 'You' that mentioned measles. But Ingraham immediately thought he was talking about her. "Wait, when did I mention measles?" she asked with a confused look on her face. Arroyo told her it was on 'You,' and she replied, "What was on me? What are you talking about? I never had the measles!" As Arroyo tried to explain she continued, "We never did a measles and vaccine episode. Is this a joke?" She continued to insist she's never had measles, more and more enraged at his insistence. Arroyo told her it's a show called 'You' on Netflix and she looked at him sarcastically and said, "There's a show called Laura Ingraham on Netflix?" Arroyo threw his hands up and said, "Nevermind, I'm moving on to Adele. I can't explain this to you."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made an embarrassing mistake on live TV in February 2022 when she confused Nazi Germany's secret police with a cold Spanish soup. Greene appeared on One America News to speak about Nancy Pelosi. During her tirade of criticisms against the Speaker of the House, she accused Pelosi of using her "gazpacho police" to spy on members of Congress and American citizens. Clearly, she meant to say Gestapo, not gazpacho.
A few months later, she was at it again. A known conspiracy theorist, Greene released a video speaking about the government's plan to surveil every aspect of life in America, including the average American's diet. "They want to know when you are eating, they want to know if you are eating a cheeseburger which is very bad because Bill Gates wants you to eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree dish." She was referring to Gates's suggestion that wealthy countries could subsist on synthetic meat to help the climate crisis, and clearly meant to say petri dish rather than peach tree dish. The video was viewed over a million times within a matter of days as social media users ridiculed the controversial politician.
Kathy Hilton, 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star and mother of Paris Hilton, appeared on the talk show 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen' in August 2022. While playing a game in which she was shown pictures of celebrities and had to identify them, she made a mistake that didn't sit well with viewers. Hilton was shown a photo of pop superstar Lizzo, but identified her as "Precious." She was presumably referring to the character played by actress Gabourey Sidibe in the 2009 Oscar-winning drama of the same name. Her host and fellow guests were at a loss for words, and the moment quickly went viral. While some found her ignorance laughable, many called her fatphobic and racist for mixing up two plus-sized Black women who look completely different.
On August 31, 2022, 'Clueless' actress Stacey Dash posted a video of herself grieving the death of DMX to social media. The late rapper passed away more than a year ago, so fans found this oddly-timed tribute more than a little bizarre! DMX died of a drug overdose in April of 2021, news which apparently didn't reach Dash. In the tearful video, she reflected on how one of his songs "saved" her many times and what a great man he was. She was genuinely shocked. Singer Tyrese Gibson commented on the video saying, "Ain't no way this is real," while another user wrote, "She was too busy storming the Capitol," referring to Dash's outspoken political views.
Cheryl Boone Isaacs made an error while announcing the nominees at the 2015 Oscars, declaring Richard Pope's name as… Richard Poop.
Madonna has had many memorable performances, but her appearance at the Brit Awards in 2015 was special. Her sprawling cape weighed her down, and she fell down a set of stairs.
Unfortunately, Kim Kardashian didn't read the invitation to Tracee Ellis Ross's birthday dinner carefully enough! The reality star apparently assumed that the birthday dinner was also a costume party because it was taking place on Halloween weekend. She went all out dressing up as Mystique from the 'X-Men' movies, which involves turning blue and scaley from head to toe. When Kardashian arrived at Ross's home, she discovered she was the only one in costume! And it wasn't exactly an easy look to scale back... Kardashian posted a photo of herself as Mystique alongside a glamorous Ross dressed in a regular gown with the caption, "That time I showed to a birthday dinner in full costume when it wasn't a costume party!"
In a recent interview with the Guardian, Janet Jackson was asked about her thoughts on the upcoming election and the possibility of Kamala Harris becoming the first Black female president. "Well, you know what they supposedly said?" Jackson replied. "She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian." When the interviewer informed her that Harris is of mixed Black and Indian heritage, Jackson incorrectly said, "Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white." These false statements echo the misinformation spread by Donald Trump and the far right, who seemingly wish to spread doubt about Harris' racial background. In August, Trump made offensive comments on the subject in an interview, saying, “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black…Is she Indian or is she Black?”
Adding another level of strange to the situation, a public apology was issued on Jackson's behalf by a man claiming to be her manager, but it later turned out that he had tenuous connections to her at best. An official statement or apology has yet to be made.
Janet Jackson is not the only celebrity to publicly embarrass herself. Many other celebrities have their own blooper-worthy moments. Click on to see the funniest and most shocking blunders from celebs around the world.
