We all love celebrities for their thriving and magical lives. We enjoy watching them on the red carpet, at a concert, on a TV show. They represent a source of entertainment, appreciation, and coolness for all of us, with their perfect looks and impeccable behavior.
They are glamorous, beautiful, and flawless. Well, most of the time. Although it is very demanding to act constantly as if you were perfect, sometimes the unpredictable happens. After all, it only adds to the human charm to mistake sometimes, right? Let’s recall 12 situations when celebrities were caught in a very compromising situation, and bravely went forward.
Justin Timberlake
In 2004’s Super Bowl, Justin Timberlake gifted Janet Jackson a so-called “liberating” moment. The two artists sang together in the halftime show, but at a certain moment, Justin accidentally revealed Janet Jackson’s nipples for a brief moment, by removing a section of her costume. This incident is recalled by many as ”Nipplegate”, and it has been seen by 100 million viewers on CBS transmission.
Unfortunately, Janet Jackson’s career took the down road after this accident and it has been considered a symbol for decaying pop culture in America. The incident has been stated as a wardrobe malfunction by MTV and Justin Timberlake.
Katy Perry
We all know Katy Perry is sweet from head to toes. But in 2008’s MTV Latin America Show, she decided to show us precisely how sweet she can get. During her performance, she manages to make everyone scream of enjoyment with her freshly released hit ”I kissed a girl, and in the meantime, a huge cake showed up on the stage.
Maybe it was all about kissing that girl mood or maybe it was just the adrenaline, but at that moment Katy decided to dive right into the cake, and after several times of trying to stand on her feet again, she realized that maybe there is such thing as too much frosting on a pop star.
Jennifer Lawrence
The 2013 Oscar Awards were a big hit for Jennifer Lawrence. She starred in the movie “Silver Linings Playbook” and in the same year, she received the Oscar for Best Actress performance. At the ceremony, Lawrence had a jaw-dropping appearance in her Christian Dior dress.
Not only she caught the attention of everyone for her glamorous look, but she also managed to catch the audience’s breath when she tripped over the stairs on her way to collect her award. Maybe it was the dress to blame, or maybe she was just being nervous. After all, when we say Oscars, we talk about a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. No wonder she fell!
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande is that pop celebrity we all know and adore for her sweet and sensitive music and personality. Even if you know her from Disney Channel or you stumbled upon her music on Spotify, we all can agree on her talent. But like any other pop star, Ariana had her rare but delicious moments. In 2015, on her Honeymoon tour, she and her lover at the time stopped in Elsinore, California, to celebrate the 4th of July.
Entering a pastry shop, she decided to give in to her desires and grabbed a doughnut, licked it, and shouted “I hate America”. The moment was caught on camera and immediately went viral, being remembered as Ariana’s “Donut-Gate”.
Sofia Vergara
Can you think of any hot and saucy actress and with the cutest Colombian accent rather than Sofia Vergara? We certainly cannot. The charismatic 48 years old actress is known to be the life at any party, and at the 2012 Emmy Awards, she proved no different. Just 20 minutes before winning a distinguished prize with her team for the “Modern Family” TV Show, Sofia’s dress split in half.
After all, we cannot blame anybody for the incident, as she danced all night and proved to everybody how “Columbians party”. Luckily, her wardrobe team fixed it on time, but she couldn’t help to share with us a photo on Twitter with the accident and capture that said: “Yes!!!! This happend 20 min before we won!!!! Jajajajja. I luv my life!!!!”
Beyonce
We expect nothing less from a Beyonce concert than a heated atmosphere, and her 2013 concert in Montreal proved no different. While singing the hit ballad “Hallo” and approaching her audience, Queen B quickly realized a fan was just saying “hallo” to her hair.
“I felt my hair was yankin’ from the fan that’s always hatin’.”, the star tweeted after the incident. Her audience couldn’t help but adore her for the way she kept on singing, while the security team tried to untangle her hair from the machine. Of course, everything went on completely flawless, and everyone, with Beyonce on top, had a good laugh about it.
Cardi B
It is hard to compete for the most badass woman Rap singer, and the feud between Cardi B and Nicky Minaj proves us no different. Ever since the “Bodak Yellow” rapper started to gain a lot of success, she and Nicky Minaj have been engaged in beef that lasts up until this day.
In 2018, at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon’s Party, Cardi B was caught attacking Nicky in the nightclub. Fortunately, the bodyguards stopped her. Unfortunately, she didn’t stop there. Witnesses claim that they’ve seen Cardi actually throwing her shoe at her rap rival, and there are viral videos that show Cardi B storming out of the club barefoot and with a big lump on her forehead. Auch!
Katy Perry
Yep, it’s Katy Perry again, and let’s face it: American Idol is a better show with Katy Perry on it, and I think we can all agree on that. Do you remember the time when Katy got really enthusiastic about a contestant from Venezuela and by accident exposed her crotch? It was a delicious moment we certainly know that the audience enjoyed, but we are not so sure about Katy’s colleagues.
After giving the contestant a golden ticket, Luke made a joke by saying: “Oh dear god…there are things a man can’t unsee” Of course, this is not the only time on the show Katy took the stage with her personality, and we certainly cannot get enough of her!
Madonna
We do know that Madonna takes her music very seriously, but it was hard to imagine she also takes them…literally. We are talking here about the 2015 Brit Awards, when Madonna tripped on the stage while performing her new single at the time, “Living for love”.
Maybe it is at fault her wish to illustrate her lyrics, or maybe it was just the moment: sure is that while she was singing “Now I’m done on my knees/Alone in the dark” she tumbled down the stairs, due to a complicated choreography and a wardrobe malfunction. Luckily, nothing bad happened and she finished the performance with grace.
Amy Schumer
If we’re still on clumsy celebrities, there is one that cannot go unmentioned: Amy Schumer’s red carpet fall. It happened in 2015, at the TIMES 100 Gala, but this time, she fell on purpose. During her red carpet walk, she stumbled upon Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the famous couple, and she couldn’t help but get faceplant in front of them.
As the comedian later added, “I think falling is the funniest thing, so I just took a dive in front of them”. Nonetheless, the moment wasn’t so appreciated by the West couple. When asked if she has seen any cracked smile on Kanye’s face at the time, she said it definitely wasn’t any smile on Kanye’s face when she pulled the joke.
Zac Efron
Do you remember the awkward moment that happened to Zac Efron at the Hollywood premiere of “Lorax”? If no, your reaction will probably be of laughter, followed by a “good for him” comment. “The Greatest Showman” star caught the attention on the red carpet when a condom accidentally fell off his pocket.
But what might be seen as a truly awkward and horrific moment for the actor, was met with an appraisal from everybody. After all, it encouraged and reminded everybody of safe sex. What happened after that, we cannot know, but what we can assume are his plans for that night.
Sharon Osbourne
When it comes to celebrities exposed in public situations, Sharon Osbourne can give us some tips on handling them like a pro. It all happened in one episode of “The Talk”, while she was talking about Jamie Dornan’s new book on a live TV show.
The 62-year old host suddenly felt something was off when she reached to her mouth and started to wiggle her tooth. It was one of the most delicious TV moments when we can all see Sharon Osbourne with her tooth in her hand, asking if anyone has any glue. Nonetheless, the only regret Sharon has is how much those teeth implants cost her.
