17 Truly Terrible Celeb Ads From Abroad

Starring in the Facebook movie doesn't necessarily make one a fan

(NEWSER) - It seems like everyone’s on Facebook these days, but some of the most famous people in America still aren’t—including three people connected to The Social Network. The Daily Beast lists 12 celebs who have yet to join up:

• Justin Timberlake: Timberlake plays former Facebook president Sean Parker in The Social Network, but in real life, “I’m sort of admittedly ridiculously stupid with computers,” he once said.
• Aaron Sorkin: The Social Network screenwriter recently explained why he doesn’t have a Facebook account: “I don’t have that much to share, and when I do, I’ll call somebody and say I had a good cupcake today.”

Actress not amused by 'milkaholic' joke in commercial

(NEWSER) - Lindsay Lohan is apparently famous enough to be known by her first name alone…and she wants $100 million from E*Trade, which dared to use that name without her permission. The “milkaholic” baby featured in the above ad was named after “someone on the account team,” a rep insists, but LiLo’s lawyer pooh-poohs that idea: They’re using Lindsay’s name “as a parody of her life. This is a subliminal message,” she tells the New York Post . More»

Heiress' behavior actually tame, but ad that may be pulled

(NEWSER) - Apparently Brazil hasn't seen many photos of Paris Hilton, because an official has objected to a commercial that's surprisingly tame—for her. View the ad for Devassa beer, which features a fully clothed Hilton vamping provocatively in a high-rise window, in the gallery. For the sake of contrast, you can also watch a bikini-clad Hilton washing a car and eating a burger…an ad Brazil’s Secretariat for Women’s Affairs must not have seen. More»

Ex-husband makes the list, too

(NEWSER) - With an ignominious 1:1 ratio of salary to receipts, Nicole Kidman snags the top spot on Forbes’ list of most overpaid movie stars. In other words, her films make a mere $1 for every dollar she’s paid, an average $15 million per flick. Ex-husband Tom Cruise is close behind at No. 3, with Jennifer Garner in the runner-up slot.

No cocaine for these stars, just chicken wings and cake

(NEWSER) - You often hear about celebrities struggling with addictions … but usually those addictions involve drugs, alcohol, or sex. Not so with these nine stars, rounded up by The Frisky :

• Scarlett Johansson: She's "addicted" to buffalo wings, she admitted recently. "I can't stop eating them, I just can't get enough," she says.
• Salma Hayek: "I'm like an alcoholic," she once said, except she wasn't referring to alcohol … she was referring to breastfeeding. "It is like, I don't care if I cry, I don't care if I am fat, I am just going to do it for one more week, one more month, and then when I see how much good it is doing her and I can't stop."
