Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This celebrity had a great-grandfather who founded a major hotel chain. She is known for trying to trademark the phrase "That's Hot!". Who is she?

Answer: Paris Hilton

Conrad Hilton was the founder of the Hilton Hotel Chain. His great-granddaughter Paris is known for many things in her active social life. She first came to prominence starring in the reality TV show "The Simple Life", where she infamously asked if they sold walls at Wal-Mart.

She has dabbled in both acting (she appeared in a remake of "House of Wax") and singing (releasing a self titled album that peaked at #6 on the US Billboard 200 chart).
2. This actress is not just a celebrity, having appeared in movies like "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls". However, her personal life has appeared in the celebrity tabloids, such as when she was in a turn-of-the-millennium love triangle with Aaron Carter and Hilary Duff. Who is she?

Answer: Lindsay Lohan

Lohan has also appeared in the remake of "The Parent Trap" and "Confessions of a Teenaged Drama Queen". She has also released multiple albums, of which "Speak" sold over 1,000,000 copies. However, her well-publicized struggles with drug and alcohol abuse have been roadblocks in her career. Her younger siblings have also dabbled in the entertainment industry.
3. This celebrity was known for enjoying a beer on occasion. His elder brother was a one-term president who had formerly been a one-term governor in a Southern US state. Who is this celebrity?

Answer: Billy Carter

Billy Carter was the younger brother of 39th US President Jimmy Carter. They were both from the state of Georgia, where Jimmy was the governor from 1971 to 1975. Billy Carter was often in the news for over-the-top behavior. The Falls City Brewing Company actually produced a beer named after the younger brother, Billy Beer, for about a year (1977-1978). Billy Carter said that he actually preferred drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon.
4. This question has a twist. Kato Kaelin became well-known briefly in the mid-1990s when he was a witness in the trial of which famous sports star, who showed his running skills in series of commercials for Hertz?

Answer: O. J. Simpson

At the time, Kato Kaelin was a house guest at O.J. Simpsons's house. He was called to testify about Simpson's actions on the evening when Simpson's wife and her friend were murdered. Before he lived at Simpson's house, Kaelin had a starring role in the 1987 movie "Beach Fever". Simpson achieved success on the gridiron as a running back for the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers. Simpson also was an actor, playing a security guard in "The Towering Inferno" and a recurring role in "The Naked Gun" series.
5. This celebrity had a father who was a lawyer on the defense team for a famous sports star. She is known for an infamous sex tape and a reality TV show that featured her, her siblings, mother and stepfather. Who is she?

Answer: Kim Kardashian

Robert Kardashian was a well known Southern California lawyer, whose most well known client was probably O.J. Simpson. His daughter Kim is known for her family's show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" as well as seemingly being in celebrity magazines all the time.
6. Sometimes its the relationship you almost had. Today she is best known for her work as a fashion designer. As a 17-year old, however, Shoshanna Lonstein was better known as the barely-legal girlfriend of which famed television star, who seemed to be an expert about "nothing"?

Answer: Jerry Seinfeld

Lonstein and Seinfeld dated for about four years in the mid-1990s. Now married to Joshua Gruss, she has worked in the fashion industry since 1998. In 2013, she was named Director of Style for Elizabeth Arden. Jerry Seinfeld appeared in his self-named sitcom for nine seasons along with Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards.
7. She is known for having a foul mouth while appearing in a reality TV show along with her brother, mother and father. Her father was the former front man for Black Sabbath. Who is she?

Answer: Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne first came to public attention appearing on her family's reality TV show "The Osbournes". Since, she has branched out to music and appearing on "Dancing on the Stars" and "Fashion Police". After her well-publicized weight loss, she gained a measure of revenge by calling out celebrities who she thought were heavier than her.

Many of her quotes would need to include "expletive deleted" to appear on Fun Trivia
8. As a child he was referred to by the press with a doubling of his name his family didn't use. Son of a U.S. president, he was the founder of "George" magazine. Who was he?

Answer: John F. Kennedy Jr.

As the story goes, a reporter heard the President call John twice in quick succession and assumed the child's nickname was John-John. John Jr. graduated from Brown University with a degree in American History. His magazine "George", founded in 1995, focused on political issues.

He died when the plane he was flying, with his wife and sister-in-law as passengers, crashed enroute to Martha's Vineyard.
9. She played an elf in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Her father is the frontman for a famous band from Boston. Who is she?

She has appeared as an actor in many films including "Armageddon" and "That Thing You Do", along with the HBO series "The Leftovers". Her role in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy was as Arwen, future wife and distant relative of Aragorn (Strider).

She was formerly married to The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, with whom she has one son. Like many actors, she does not enjoy seeing herself on screen.
