Ah, celebrities. We like to say that they’re just like us, but more often than not, they couldn’t be further from “normal.” They do live vastly different lives from our own, after all.
The celebrities in this list show how their realities are pretty different from our own. In other words, they’re probably a lot more out of touch than they even realize.
Martha Stewart told her daughter not to have an ugly man’s baby.

When it comes to relationship deal breakers, Uma Thurman has some pretty strange priorities.
According to the actress, “it’s better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than someone who doesn’t flush the toilet .” While both are pretty gross, I almost feel like she has that flipped.
Nicolas Cage once used an ex-manager for “financial ruin.”
In 2009, the actor sued his then-business manager as he was in poorer financial shape than he’d realized. According to Cage, the manager failed to pay taxes and advise him on his financial situation.
It must be nice to never have to worry about your own bank accounts.
Leonard Cohen’s ex-manager stole $5 million from him.
In 2005, Cohen’s ex-manager was found guilty of embezzlement to the tune of $5 million from the artist, prompting him to go on tour to recuperate the loss . I feel like the moral of the story is to keep a close eye on your own finances.

In 2010, Quaid and his wife, Evi, sought asylum in Canada after becoming convinced that they could be the targets of so-called “whackers,” who they claimed targeted David Carradine and Heath Ledger, and may have had their sights set on Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
Lauryn Hill once showed up 2 hours late to a concert because she was “aligning her energy.”
In 2016, the singer was set to perform in Atlanta, but kept an eager audience waiting for more than two hours before performing for around 40 minutes.

In an apology post to Facebook, she wrote, ” The challenge is aligning my energy with the time , taking something that isn’t easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others.”
Lauren Santo Domingo doesn’t wash her own hair.
Note that she gets her hair washed, she just doesn’t do it herself, as she admitted in a 2011 interview . Imagine being able to hire someone whose entire job is to wash your hair…
According to Tom Cruise, depression can be cured with “exercise and vitamins.”
As per Cruise’s scientology beliefs, which see psychology as a pseudo science , he believes that taking drugs to treat depression is useless.

According to Vince Vaughn, the best way to prevent gun violence is… more guns.
In defense of the right to bear arms , the actor said, “Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat. Taking away guns, drugs, booze… It won’t rid the world of criminality.”
Markus Persson clearly doesn’t know how rainforests work.
The Minecraft creator, who goes by notch online, failed to realize that the Amazon rainforests are being burned down by humans , and not because of a natural renewal process (which don’t even apply to forests in humid climates, to begin with).
Paris Hilton once said, “Everything bad that can happen to a person has happened to me.”
While the wealthy heiress has probably dealt with hardships in her life (because seriously, who hasn’t?), it’s pretty unlikely that she’s had to deal with all the problems a normal person would.
A mystery man tricked Sarah Hyland and Keegan-Michael Key into giving him their tickets to an exclusive party.

Kourtney Kardashian once told her followers to get oil enemas.

Stephen A Smith once tweeted an image… or not.
To this day, no one really knows what the picture was supposed to be . Not even Smith himself. To be honest, this mystery is somehow both hilarious and entertaining.
