Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This actress, who played in such films as 1998's "The Parent Trap" and 2004's "Mean Girls", got caught in quite a few untruths. These included lying to police, fibbing about drugs, and not telling the whole truth about community service. Who is she?

Answer: Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan was born in 1986 in New York to parents who worked on Wall Street. She began appearing in commercials and advertisements as a model before she was even three years old and, at age 15 was filming her first movie "The Parent Trap". By 2007 she had several movies credited to her but also was beginning to make the news in less glamorous ways.

She was convicted for drunk driving, arrested for cocaine usage, and entered rehab multiple times. She has also been caught in various lies. In 2012, she told police that her assistant was driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in her car when it wrecked.

After an investigation, it turns out it was Lindsay who was driving on parole. In 2013 she admitted she tried cocaine just a few times but in 2014 she told Oprah Winfrey it was much more than that and she did not want to be judged.

In 2015 she tweeted to everyone she was back in New York City to do community service when, in fact, she was in London.
2. This singer of the hit song "Blurred Lines" also apparently blurred the line between truth and fiction. In 2014, he admitted in a court case that he lied about co-authoring the song. Who is this celebrity?

Answer: Robin Thicke

Robin Thicke was born in 1977 in California and his parents were both television actors. He began his music career at only 16 and focused on R&B and composing music for other artists. In the mid 2000s he was recording his own albums and slowly moving up the billboard charts.

In 2013, his biggest hit was released when he and Pharrell Williams introduced the world to the song "Blurred Lines" which Thicke claimed he co-wrote. In just a few days, there were over one million views of the online video.

However, in 2014, in a court case where the authenticity of the original idea of the song was questioned, Thicke admitted that he lied and that he did not help author the song. He blamed his untruths on drug addiction and the fact he was jealous that the huge hit was not penned by him.
3. This woman, who was a host on the TV show called "The View", told her audience that she lost over 150 pounds via diet and exercise. Later, she admitted it was a lie and that she did it with gastric bypass surgery. Who is she?

Answer: Star Jones

By 2003, however, she had tipped the scales at over 300 pounds. During the next three years, she lost 160 pounds and continually attributed it to diet and Pilates exercise.

She left the show in 2006.

In 2009, Star went on to tell Oprah Winfrey that she actually had received gastric bypass surgery and also lied each time she said she was happy with her heavier weight. She apologized both to her viewers and to her former colleagues.

In 2007 Paris was sent to a short jail stint for violating parole after being arrested for driving under the influence with a suspended license. After being released from jail, she appeared on "Larry King Live" and stated she never did drugs nor even liked being around them. Over the next several years she was photographed with marijuana and had several brushes with the law.

In 2010 she was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada for cocaine possession found in her purse.

She stated the purse was not hers even though it was pointed out to her that it contained her drivers license, her credit cards, and her phone! Paris Hilton went on to focus her career on becoming a disc jockey in the music industry.
5. True or False: Jack White and Meg White of the Detroit, Michigan based rock band "The White Stripes" are brother and sister.

Answer: False

Jack White was born Jack Gillis in 1975 in Detroit, Michigan. Throughout his school years he considered joining the priesthood or becoming a Marine. He ended up playing in several garage bands in the Detroit area. He met Meg White, married her in 1996, and took her last name as his own.

They formed a rock duo called "The White Stripes" where she played the drums and he played everything else. As they quickly started making albums, they told everyone they were a brother and sister team.

In 2001 she sold $45,000 worth of stock in ImClone. As it turns out, she sold the stock the day before it plummeted. The ImClone chief executive, her friend, also sold stock. Both he and Martha used the same stock broker.

In 2003 Martha Stewart was indicted for insider trading. She claimed she was unaware of any fraudulent activities and had a standing order to sell the stock if it got under $60.

However, it was proven that she lied and agreed to sell the stocks to avoid a loss. In the end, she was given a prison sentence, a hefty fine worth way more than her potential loss would have been, and a downswing in her reputation.
