10.John CuSack vs Dumbass College Student
Proving that you don’t have to be smart to go to college, this co-ed news reporter starts an interview off on the wrong foot by telling John Cusack that he starred in American Beauty. When the actor informs her that he wasn’t in the film, the intrepid reporter repeatedly asks him if he’s sure he wasn’t in it. Talk about hard-hitting journalism.
9.Bum Fights vs Dr.Phil
Perhaps the dumbest man to hold a Ph.D, Dr. Phil McGraw proved he’ll do anything for ratings when he dedicated an episode to the best-selling DVD Bum Fights. After airing footage of homeless men brawling and pulling their teeth out, the dumpy doctor requests that the DVD’s creator leave his show. Should we really believe that Dr. Phil didn’t watch any of this footage until it was live on air? The Bum Fights creator, who shaved his head and attempted to grow a mustache in a hilarious attempt to look like Phil, manages to spout out a few words before he’s escorted off set by security.
8.Tracy Morgan vs R.Holguin
Judging by his stunned reactions in this clip, El Paso, Texas’s KVIA morning show host Robert Holguin didn’t know what to expect when 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan dropped in to promote a comedy show. After announcing that “somebody gonna get pregnant,” the comedian rips off his shirt and acts like a legless Vietnam veteran while the frazzled reporter struggles to get through the segmen
7.BjOrk vs Julie Kaufman
While she might look like a harmless Eskimo, Icelandic pop star Björk revealed a violent side in this infamous clip from 1996. After a reporter tells the singer “Welcome to Bangkok,” Björk responds by physically attacking the woman with the kind of scratching and clawing usually only seen in a hotly contested mud wrestling event. Björk’s record company would later claim that the reporter had been pestering her for days.
6.Mike Tyson vs Russ Salzberg
A list of celebrity meltdowns wouldn’t be complete without a clip of “Iron” Mike. In this 1999 interview to hype his return to the ring against Francois Botha, a clearly agitated Tyson continually curses and acts confrontational. New York sports reporter Russ Salzberg gives Tyson a bit of attitude, calling the former champion “a real class act,” before cutting the interview short. We’re guessing ol’ Russ wouldn’t have been so brave if the interview had been face to face.
5.Crispin Glover vs David Leterman
4. "Dr .D" Davis Shultz vs John Stossel
Before steroids and death were the main stories being written about pro wrestling, reporters were just trying to figure out whether or not it was real. 20/20 reporter John Stossel made the mistake of posing that question to WWF wrestler “Dr. D” David Schultz in this clip from 1984. The bitch slapping that follows is brutal, but you can’t say Stossel wasn’t asking for it
3. Andrew Dice Clay vs Alan Chernoff
Comedian Andrew Dice Clay proved that he was the only person who didn’t know his career was dead when he appeared on CNN’s The Biz in 2003. When pompous host Allan Chernoff asks the Diceman about his declining ticket sales and a rumor that he ran a gym, the Brooklyn-born Clay verbally smashes the host and curses on live television. Dice would later explain the incident to Tom Green by saying, “I don’t like people fucking with me. I do the fucking.”
2. Jesse James Dupree vs Tom Green
Jesse James Dupree, the frontman of the Southern rock band Jackyl, made the ill-advised decision to take a chainsaw to Tom Green’s new desk when he appeared on Green’s short-lived MTV talk show in 2003. The unplanned stunt clearly irritates Green and the Canadian comic makes no attempt to hide his displeasure. What follows are five of the most uncomfortable minutes in television history.
1.Jim Everett vs Jim Rome
The long-running feud between former NFL QB Jim Everett and wimpy ESPN host Jim Rome came to a head on this 1994 episode of Rome’s show Talk2. After Rome repeatedly calls the often-sacked quarterback “Chris,” a reference to the female tennis star Chris Evert, the 6-foot-5 Everett flings the table aside and puts the little weasel on his back before producers intervene. Can’t say he didn’t warn him.

Gotta have either a memorable stoner in the film or just have pervasive drug use. 1.How High
Redman and Method man in a movie in which they smoke pot fertilized with their dead friends ashes. He magically appears before them and helps them pass their THC (Testing for Higher Credentials). Amazingly, they get accepted to Harvard! You can imagine the debauchery that ensues. White people will never be the same. 2.Half-Baked Thurgood (Dave Chappelle), Scarface (Guillermo Diaz) and Brian (Jim Breuer) are stoners who have to figure out a way to get their friend Kenny (Harland Williams) out of jail. So they do what they think they know best – peddle pot. This is one of those movies that is funny but a whole lot funnier if you’re stoned. 3.Reefer Madness The movie that started it all. It’s really a public service announcement made in 1936 that chronicles how evil and terrible pot is. It was meant to scare the shit out of everyone but it is impossible to not find amusement in it. It’s amazing how sensationalized reefer was way back when – now it’s a ticket if you get caught with a joint in New York (or at least it was a few years ago)! 4.Dazed and Confused A rite of passage movie for a bunch of teens at a Texas high school. Lots of drinking and smoking leads to hazings and pranks. Most memorable is Wooderson an older guy who loves to party with high schoolers. When asked about his lifestyle he poignantly replies, “That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.” Amen! 5.Harold and Kumar go to White Castle Roommates Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) love to smoke pot and eat White Castle burgers. They travel all over New Jersey after lighting up in an effort to find an open restaurant. Along the way, they have some strange encounters, most notably one with Neil Patrick Harris. 6.The Big Lebowski From the twisted minds of the Coen brothers. Jeff Bridges is Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, a perpetually stoned slacker, who is inadvertently involved in a mistaken identity situation. Two thugs want money from him and piss on his rug in an effort to coerce him into paying. Knowing nothing of the debt, he must figure out how to solve his problem while at the same time getting his rug cleaned or replaced . 7.Clerks. This is a given. Jay and Silent Bob are two of the most known pot heads in the world. Jason Mewes is a foul mouthed dealer who spouts out some of the funniest lines ever written. Basically, they hang in front of a convenience store selling dope and pissing off the guys inside. This movie belongs in every movie collection. 8.Friday
There has to be an urban movie in the list. Smokey (Chris Tucker) and Craig (Ice Cube) are best friends. Smokey is a burnout who aggravates you so much you just laugh at his incessant whining. His ridiculousness leads to a memorable Friday for everyone on the block. Very funny. 9.Up In Smoke The original masterpiece starring Cheech and Chong. These guys were the poster boys for slacking. Their days are consumed with smoking pot, chasing skirts and little else. In this particular title they unknowingly try and smuggle a van made entirely of cannabis into the United States. Those were the days! 10.Fast Times at Ridgemont High Probably the best high school film ever made. It boasts an all-star cast made up of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, Forest Whitaker, among others. The standout is Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli. As far as I’m concerned Sean Penn will always be the stoned, surfer dude without a care in the world. If you haven’t seen this movie, shame on you

The rules are that the girls must have at least some reputation for being trashy in real life or playing notable trashy chicks. 1. Olga Kurylenko No one can sport face tats like Olga from Hitman. And we always like it when the new starlet decides to shed the clothes for her high-profile performance. If we had $300 to spare, we would seriously think about making an investment in her character. 2.Tara Reid It’s one thing to be a trashy chick in real life. It’s another thing to always play trashy chicks in movies and television. But Tara Reid is the double-threat. She doesn’t just play trashy chicks on TV. She is one in real life as well. And the beautiful thing is that her botched plastic surgeries just make her all the more trashy. 3. Taryn Manning Should we be worried that we’re so attracted to the prostitutes in the movies? We all remember Taryn Manning from her brilliantly trashy performance in Hustle & Flow as one of the “bitches” who never “jumped ship” while it was “hard out here for a pimp.” 4. Bijou Phillips What can we say? Bijou Phillips rocks. All the characters she plays are trashy. If she played Mother Theresa, it would be the trashiest Mother Theresa you’ll ever see. And the fact that she’s best friends with trashy socialites like Nikki and Paris Hilton 5. Jaime Pressly Is it any surprise that the penultimate trashy babe Jaime Pressly tops off this list? Ever since she dropped to her knees to dispense hummers in Ringmaster to winning an Emmy for playing the trashiest girl on television in My Name Is Earl, Jaime has had her own star in our trashy walk of fame. 6. Debi Mazar None of us really remember much of her career, but a few key instances come to mind, like Spice in Batman Forever, interstellar white trash in Space Truckers and a key scene in Money for Nothing where she has sex on the Benjamins. 7. Angelina Jolie She’s toned down her trashiness lately with all the African baby-snatching and Oscar grabs. But who can’t forget Angelina in her Gia and Hackers days? Plus, there all her tattoos. And lest we forget that whole vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood thing she did several years back. Angelina will be forever trashy in our eyes. 8. Rose McGowan It’s not that we can really remember a lot of super trashy roles she’s been in, but her stint as the one-legged Cherry Darling in Grindhouse does a lot for her trashy image. Oh, that and the fact she used to boink Marilyn Manson. Yup, she’s a Trashy Darling for sure. 9. Asia Argento Who cares that she once played a nun. We know that Asia must have been the trashiest nun anyone’s seen. Bringing some European flavor to our list, we fondly remember Asia for roles in films like xXx. 10. Bai Ling This sweet little thing comes to us by way of the Szechwan province of China. She’s always sporting a punkish look, often with dyed hair and some well-placed tattoos. Most recently, we have enjoyed her as a sexual diversion for Lost’s Jack Shephard (but Fat Guy Kevin Carr most fondly remembers her in Fruit Chan’s Dumplings).
