25 Most Ridiculous Celebrity "Gamers"

Photographic proof that famous people should never touch a controller again

Words: Charlie Barratt, GamesRadar US

Celebrities are good at so many things. They entertain us with their beauty, style, charm and frequent intoxication. They create wonderful movies, music and sex tapes. They save the world by adopting, and crazily naming, every orphaned child they meet. They even tell us what to buy, what to eat and what to wear!

Why, then, must they be good at gaming as well? Why must we always shove controllers and remotes and consoles into their unsuspecting, delicately manicured hands? Why must we constantly force them to mingle and pose with giant, bobble-headed cartoon characters? Why must we ask them to play and promote something of which they clearly have no interest or knowledge?

As these surreal examples of celebrity "gaming" prove, we shouldn't. The results are rarely flattering... and NEVER believable.

1. Christina Aguilera

Here's what we mean. Couldn't someone have told poor Xtina that the Nintendo GameCube is, in fact, NOT a fashionable new handbag and, despite coming in three stylish colors, should NOT be used as such? An agent or publicist perhaps? Famous people can't figure this stuff out on their own, you know!

2. Zac Efron

The 360 controller and Bungie wristband tell us Zac is a real gamer. The upturned collar, designer t-shirt and sun-kissed bangs tell us otherwise. Our suspicion? The star of High School Musical and Hairspray is one frag away from breaking into song, dance or possibly both.

One of these people is real. One is not. Can YOU spot the difference?

posing for a camera while playing videogames!!! everyone knows if your playing a videogame ur eyes are glued to the T.V. you are hunched forward and motionless,except for your mouth as you are (most likely) screaming at the T.V.

zac efron should not be allowed within a 100 meter range to anything logical.

Well TheFish, it should actually be restated "No celebrity should be allowed within a 1 mile radius of anything logical and/or having to do with videogames." Seriously, these washed up, celebrities who no one gives a rats ass about make videogames look bad.

Notice Paris Hilton's face NEVER changes between photos. They all look upon you with sneer and contempt.

Paris Hilton's face never changes because she has lost all muscle control due to endless silicon injections and what not... she's also rumored to be a robot created for the ultimate destruction of real people. Celebs do whatever it is their agents tell them to, and that means trying to look hip playing video games, or being in them. Fortunately, a good number of gamers know this (note that it's only a good number, as some kids came in the other day and bought The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Tipton Trouble...................................... lame...)

GR staff are not rediculous, you guys are awsome. But I guess its a good way to get celeb critisism off your backs.
