Celebrity Notoriety Trivia Questions

1. Martha Stewart was her usual gracious self while she served time in prison. What company's stock was at the center of her legal troubles?

From Quiz
Judged Celebrities

Answer: ImClone

Ms. Stewart's jail sentence wasn't actually for insider trading, but instead for obstructing justice because she lied about the insider trading. ImClone stock was about to plummet because clinical trials of their new drug didn't succeed, and it was expected that the Federal Drug Administration would respond negatively. Ms. Stewart sold about $230,000 worth of stock to avoid a loss of about $46,000, but did not tell the truth about where she had received the information to sell right before the announcement of the clinical trial results. She served five months, and even built a nativity scene in prison while she was there. Her reputation miraculously survived the scandal. This question was provided by player pusdoc for Phoenix Rising's Red Crew.

2. Which 'Oceans' and "ER" star convinced good friend Richard Kind ("Spin City", "Gotham"), to hang a dreadful painting in his living room?

From Quiz Celebrity Pranksters

Answer: George Clooney

Clooney might very well be a pathological prankster. He pranks everyone - co-stars, friends, and even tried to prank the world with a fake staged wedding for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The painting prank was inspired. Clooney found a hideous painting in a pile of trash, took it, framed it, and signed it. He then started setting up the prank by telling close friend Richard Kind that he was taking painting lessons. This dragged on for months, until Kind's 40th birthday. Clooney gave the eyesore to Kind as a birthday gift, presenting it as his own work from his painting class. Kind felt obliged to hang it in his living room. Everyone else in their mutual circle of friends knew the truth about the painting, and always complimented Kind on it, keeping the prank going. When Clooney finally came clean about the prank, Kind's response was a simple "I hate that painting".

3. This British television presenter is noted for his perma-tan, sharp suits, cheesy catch phrases such as "cheap as chips", and sincerity laid on with a trowel. Who is he?

From Quiz The Beauty of Eccentricity

Answer: David Dickinson

David Dickinson is of Armenian descent. Born to a single mother he was adopted by the Dickinsons. He did correspond with his biological mother when she was quite elderly but never met her. She never revealed the name of his father. He was an antiques dealer before finding television fame. He came to public attention on the BBC show "The Antiques Show". At the time, the 1980s, "Lovejoy" was a popular television show. This was about an antiques dealer and David Dickinson bore a strong resemblance to the main character, played by Ian McShane. From there he went on to present "Bargain Hunt" on BBC television. This was a lunchtime show which quickly gained a large following and made a star out of David Dickinson. Catch phrases such as "cheap as chips" for a bargain, or "can I call you girls?" to lady contestants no matter what their age, entered the national vocabulary. He has used the same tailor for over 40 years, and his dress sense led to his nickname, The Duke.

4. Which English musician, known for his enthusiastic drumming and destructive lifestyle, was banned from several hotel chains globally due to his penchant for blowing up toilets?

From Quiz Run Amok

Answer: Keith Moon

Keith Moon (1946-1978), drummer for The Who, is touted by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as 'one of the best drummers ever'. He was just as famous for his private life, earning himself the nickname 'Moon the Loon'. In 1967, when celebrating his 21st birthday, Moon was responsible for causing mayhem the likes of which was unparalleled. He started a food fight, blew up the toilet with dynamite and discharged all the fire extinguishers. While being chased by the police, he slipped on a piece of birthday cake and broke his front tooth. The night ended after he drove a car into the hotel swimming pool and earned himself a life-time ban from all Holiday Inns.

5. "There I was singing and dancing my heart out at the half-time show of Super Bowl XXXVIII. Justin Timberlake and the WHOLE WORLD was looking on when "OH NO" -- Major Wardrobe Malfunction!" Who was Little Miss Scatterbrain on that fateful night?

From Quiz Little Miss Scatterbrain

Answer: Janet Jackson

On February 1st 2004,Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake were headliners for the Super Bowl XXXVIII live half-time show. During the last line of "Rock Your Body," Timberlake reaches across and pulls part of Jackson's costume off revealing Janet's right breast partially covered by some nipple jewelry. CBS immediately cut away to an aerial view of the stadium, but not before the world viewed Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction." The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined CBS a record $550,000 and MTV, the producers of the half-time show, received a life-ban from producing the super bowl half-time show.

6. Which singer's opening routine at the 2007 "MTV Awards" caused a media furor when it showed her not quite at her best, as she performed her song "Gimme More"?

From Quiz Fifteen Minutes of Notoriety

Answer: Britney Spears

Britney's dance routine lacked her usual style and grace, to the dismay of her fans, and caused much media comment. Her personal troubles were such that in 2008 she was made a ward and her father was given control of her finances and other legal business. In spite of her obviously troubled personal life, Britney Spears was the most successful female artist, in terms of sales, for the first decade of the 21st century, and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. "Gimme More" made the Top Ten in the singles charts in eight countries, and was a number one hit in Canada.

7. Sanjay Dutt is a well-known actor who has been a part of the Indian film industry for more than 20 years. Why was he arrested and imprisoned for 18 months in 1993?

From Quiz Infamous Deeds of the Rich and Famous

Answer: His involvement in the March 1993 bomb blasts which took place in Mumbai.

Sanjay Dutt was arrested on April 19, 1993 for harbouring the terrorists involved in the Mumbai bomb blasts and for illegal possession of weapons under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA). On November 28, 2006, a special TADA court acquitted him of terrorism charges but held him guilty for possessing arms under the Arms Act.

8. Michael Moore is so fond of the (Former) President of the United States of America. You can tell by his "um...love" for him in his 'so-called' documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11". Who is the President that he just "um...adores?"

From Quiz You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!

Answer: President Bush

Let me see if I got this straight. The entire country of the United States voted and President Bush won the race for President. (Florida?) The President of the United States of America is the highest ranked individual in the United States. Not all of us might not like him, or appreciate the fact that he is President, but it doesn't change the fact that he is the leader. I just don't understand why Michael Moore couldn't wait to cast his "documentary" until after he's out of the Oval Office. I just wonder how much Kerry is paying him? What I also don't understand is these fly by night people; they don't know diddle squat about President Bush, but they are taking everything for "word" in the documentary by Moore. At least President Clinton waited till he was out of the White House before he wrote his book of "l..., um sorry... misleading" information. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a major Bush fan, but he is still the President.

9. The King of Pop can moonwalk out of Neverland ranch. But was he guilty? Who knows and who cares. Can you name this "Bad" boy?

From Quiz Oops, Did I Do That? Part 1

Answer: Michael Jackson & Jackson

Michael Jackson was part of the Jackson Five, which included his brothers, back in the 70's. So many different people have looked down on Michael in his lifetime. Michael Jackson has had numerous surgeries performed on his face. Michael's skin has turned from black to white with skin bleaching. Michael has obsessions about too many germs. Michael was caught sleeping in an oxygen chamber. When are they going to leave poor Michael alone? Just tell them to "Beat It" Michael. But Michael, can you do me one small favor? Stop giving people reason to believe that you're a little "Thriller".

10. One of the most widely known (and made fun of) celebrity run-ins with the law occurred when actress Zsa Zsa Gabor slapped a Beverly Hills police officer who gave her a ticket. But what did he give her a ticket for?

From Quiz Celebrities Behaving Badly

Answer: Expired registration tags

One June 14, 1989, the Hungarian-born actress and author of "The Complete Guide to Men" was pulled over expired registration tags in Beverly Hills, California. While waiting for the officer to check her license, Ms. Gabor fled, and a short chase ensued. It was then that she slapped the hapless officer. For these offenses, Zsa Zsa was sentenced to 72 hours in jail, 120 hours of community service, and given court costs of $13,000.

11. Brad Pitt, although never a criminal, once had a stalker invade his home, wear his clothes, and sleep in his bed while he was away. What was her name?

From Quiz Hollywood Crime

Answer: Athena Rolando

An aspiring actress, she freely admitted to adoring Pitt (as many of us girls are inclined to do!) but then took it way too far. Unremorseful after her arrest, insisting she "wasn't a stalker", she broke down in tears when issued a restraining order later in court.

12. 'Larry' has had many run-ins with the law. In April of 2001, he was fired from the hit series that he had been with for a little over a year. In 1997, he was put in jail for 180 days for violating probation. Who is he?

From Quiz Celebrities: Drug Problems

Answer: Robert Downey Jr. & Robert Downey Jr & Robert Downey & Robert Downey Junior & Downey

Larry is his character's name on 'Ally McBeal' from which he was fired. He may come back though. Downey has been in and out of rehab many times.

13. Who was the person responsible for the phrase 'Kilroy was here'?

From Quiz Famous or Infamous Celebrity Figures

Answer: shipyard worker

His name was James Kilroy and he was a shipyard inspector. After checking the rivets of a ship, he would write 'Kilroy was here'. It was a big mystery after all, and the Transit co. offered a big reward to find out the true identity.

14. Which Beatle sued the other group members and Apple Corps in 1970 to beg for dissolution of the band?

From Quiz Judged Celebrities

Answer: Paul McCartney

Paul was expressed concerns about a business manager, Allen Klein, that the band had brought in over his objections. He had wanted to hire Lee Eastman, father of wife Linda. (Of note, the rest of the band also became disenchanted with Klein shortly thereafter.) There was an agreement they had signed years before that locked them in for 10 years, and McCartney didn't want to stay bound to Klein that long, and was advised that he couldn't actually sue the manager but would need to sue the band and their company, Apple Corps. The suit was successful, and the rest, as they say, is history. Sir Paul returned to court in later years for a very acrimonious divorce from second wife Heather Mills, which cost him nearly $49 million. Player pusdoc added this question for Phoenix Rising's Red Crew.

15. This talk show host asked parents to tell their children that they'd eaten all their kids' Halloween candy. He had parents videotape the prank and send it to him. Which talk show host was this, Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel?

From Quiz Celebrity Pranksters

Answer: Jimmy Kimmel & Kimmel

Kimmel started young. Raised in Las Vegas, he spent his time developing a love for pranks, which served him well as host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live". The first video supercut of Kimmel's halloween prank, which he based on his own attempt to prank his kid, was aired in November 2011. The reactions of the kids to hearing all their candy was gone were priceless. They ranged from screaming red-faced tantrums, to a quiet, heart-melting "That's ok". Kimmel had more pranks up his sleeve, such as embarrassing random passers-by on the street, and hooking kids up to a fake lie detector and questioning them, often with hilarious results.

16. This Icelandic singer is noted for her very individual dress sense, as well as often strange songs. Who is she?

From Quiz The Beauty of Eccentricity

Answer: Bjork

Everything about Bjork is eccentric from her taste in food (roast puffin) to her dress sense and even her music. She also espouses causes, in particular various liberation movements. This is perhaps not surprising given that her father was a union leader and her mother was also politically active. She has been the centre of more than one controversy involving the press. In 1996 she attacked a female reporter at Bangkok Airport because, she said, she was trying to interview her son. In 2008 she was involved in a fracas with a reporter who was trying to cover her arrival at Auckland Airport. Despite her constantly changing musical style she has a devoted fan base, and has won several awards. These include four BRIT awards and four MTV Music Video Awards. She has been Grammy nominated 14 times.

17. Which actress, best known for her roles in "The Parent Trap" (1998) and "Freaky Friday" (2003) was addicted to drugs, alcohol and the occasional theft and often left used syringes in her hotel rooms?

From Quiz Run Amok

Answer: Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan began her movie career at the age of eleven when she scored a role in "The Parent Trap" (1998). She appeared in the lead role of several other movies before turning into a wild child. Her career derailed in 2007 when she was charged with DUI (driving under the influence) and spent three stints in rehab. She was banned from the Shutters on the Beach Hotel in Santa Monica when hotel staff found her room filthy and with used syringes lying around. The staff were forced to call in hazardous waste experts to deal with the debris.

18. Which celebrity has lent her name to the Angel Network?

From Quiz Not All Celebrity News is Tabloid

Answer: Oprah Winfrey & Oprah & Winfrey

Oprah seems to be the pulse of the charity world. She founded Oprah's Angel Network in 1998 to encourage people to make a positive difference in the lives of others. She is very well known and provides a great way for people to get their important messages across. Oprah supports agencies involved in Abuse, AIDS, Animals, Cancer, Children, Creative Arts, Disaster Relief, Economic/Business Support, Education, Environment, Family/Parent Support, Health, Miscellaneous, Peace, Poverty and Women.

19. Hi, I was the President of the United States of America, and I DID know Monica Lewinsky. Who am I?

From Quiz Oops, Did I Do That? Part 1

Answer: President Clinton

Now, some people would say that Former President Clinton should have been thrown out of the White House, but not me. I'm all for the lies and the cheating on your spouse. This just shows the real America, the few, the proud, and the "Cheating Hearts". Did Hillary get her revenge with her book, "Living History"? Maybe it should have been named, "Living Lies or Lying with the Clinton's", no pun intended. Good luck Hillary, you'll need it.

20. Another famous er- incident occurred when Paul Reubens, better known as children's TV star Pee Wee Herman, was arrested for indecent behavior in a theater. Do you know in which state this occurred?

From Quiz Celebrities Behaving Badly

Answer: Florida

Probably the less said about this incident, the better. The event, which provided countless fodder for jokes and stand-up routines, occurred on July 26, 1991 at the South Trail Cinema in the beautiful Gulf city of Sarasota, Florida. For this offense, Reubens was given a small fine and ordered to perform community service.

21. Drug alert! Which "Friends" star had a much publicised drug addiction?

From Quiz Hollywood Crime

Answer: Matthew Perry

Apparently, after going to rehab just as Season 7 of the show ended, he had to be cut out of most of the finale. However, this was the wedding of his and Arquette's character! For a while, it's said that neither Kudrow or Schwimmer would talk to Perry until he completely recovered. Matthew Perry had an addiction to the prescription painkiller, Vicodin (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) not heroin. Vicodin is taken by mouth and is one of many highly addictive drugs known as Opioids. Heroin is also an Opiod drug, albeit a much, much stronger one and is usually taken by intraveinous injection and/or smoked. Heroin is of course, illegal. Vicodin is also illegal without a prescription.

22. Who spent time in jail for her play called 'Sex'?

From Quiz Famous or Infamous Celebrity Figures

Answer: Mae West & West

23. Due to a history of arrests and bad behavior, one country denied Justin Bieber from performing in 2017. Which country was it?

From Quiz Judged Celebrities

Answer: China

Justin Bieber had multiple arrests and charges for driving under the influence, reckless driving, and vandalism over a period of several years. His request to perform in China was subsequently denied. The decision to ban his performance on mainland China was widely reported across the globe by the BBC in England, NBC in the US and SBS in Australia, all citing the Beijing Municiple Bureau of Culture as saying he would be a bad influence on the people of China. But no news is bad news, and ironically, in 2021, Bieber shattered the record for the most-viewed single-artist livestream in TikTok's history with his performance of his 2013 album "Journals". TikTok is a social media platform and Chinese-owned video hosting service. Red Crew's jaknginger got this question into the team quiz.

24. After the "Harry Potter" films wrapped production, Daniel Radcliffe moved on to do some theater ("Equus"). He was dismayed to find paparazzi waiting for him after every performance, and figured out a way to thwart them. How?

From Quiz Celebrity Pranksters

Answer: Wore the same clothes for six months

Ok well not exactly the same clothes, but the same zipped up jacket and hat. No matter when the paparazzi took pictures of him, they all looked like they'd been taken on the same day and they couldn't sell them. Brilliant! In interviews where Radcliffe told this story, he shared that he took great delight in watching the paparazzi grow more and more frustrated. The other answers have been methods used by other stars - Taylor Swift would walk backwards, Dustin Hoffman would hide behind trees, and Robin Willians would wear a mask; so even if they took his photo, they would have to blur his face.

25. Once best known as a sports presenter, who is the man who announced, in 1991, that he was the Son of the Godhead and predicted the end of the world?

From Quiz The Beauty of Eccentricity

Answer: David Icke

David Icke wanted to be a professional footballer, but rheumatoid arthritis prevented him from doing this. He became a newspaper sports reporter and eventually worked his way up to working for the BBC, often appearing on this main Saturday sports programme, "Grandstand". His contract was terminated after he refused to pay his community charge. He became involved with the Green Party in the 1980s, mainly due to his interest in alternative medicine in a search for something to relieve his arthritis. In 1991, after a psychic told him he had been put on earth to educate people, he made his Son of the Godhead announcement. He also started dressing entirely in turquoise because this gave him positive energy. He was much ridiculed for his public pronouncements, and an interview on the "Terry Wogan Show" led to him being laughed at in the streets. He disappeared from public view for a while after this. He has since built a career as a lecturer and writer on conspiracy theories, his main theory being that of a Global Elite who secretly control everything.
