    There are lots of dumb famous people, just look at Bhad Bhabie who was on Dr. Phil for being a wild child. The “catch me outside” girl, who has an onlyfans and is rich now.

    Being born with wealthy parents, running several businesses into the ground, being entirely unscrupulous, not paying contracts, battling the courts, becoming a reality tv star and then killing democracy.

    Either the octomom…. she got test tube babies

    Or the “first man” to give birth…. but was born a woman with ovaries lol

    Both stories dumb and sensationalized for no reason.

    Hailey Welch, the hawk tuah girl! It’s a little gross the way she describes the situation and becoming famous for that is a little bit strange! Imo, of course!

    Because their genitals were scarred irreparably by McDonald’s coffee. They should have just paid her bills and left her alone.

    kim k due to how big she’s gotten. catch me outside girl is an honourable mention cause she made 50M’s when he turned 18

    He always seemed like a very very nice man. Like he knew he was getting away with something and was ready to be contrite about it. 

    He’d show up on Carson, as the secret square, I think Love Boat and Fantasy Island? 

    But for the life of me, what did George Hamilton actually do?

    What was his professional trade? He was very handsome, but I don’t he was a model. Eventually him and his ex-wife had probably the best morning talk show I ever saw, but never was it established what his bona fides were.

    Not nearly enough Hawk Tua answers. Literally a drunk chick telling an interviewer to spit on a cock. Turned her into a millionaire.
