25 Most Ridiculous Celebrity "Gamers"

Photographic proof that famous people should never touch a controller again

Words: Charlie Barratt, GamesRadar US

23. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (but mostly Paris Hilton)

Was there ever any doubt that the ultimate princess of publicity would appear on our list of gaming poseurs? Of course not, but we're still impressed by the hotel heiress's work ethic. Lending her air of vague condescension to every console in reach was nice, but Paris really went the extra mile when she whored out her name as well. Paris Hilton's Jewel Jam, available on mobile phones, sounds awesome. Now if she'd just stop calling it Diamond Quest...

24. Ronald McDonald



Does a fast food mascot count as a celebrity? Dunno. What we do know is that this photo has haunted our dreams for days now and we had to share the misery. The only thing creepier than Ronald's leering gaze is Mario's dead-eyed synthetic stare. He looks like a drive-thru speaker box... from Hell.

25. The GamesRadar Editorial Staff

Do a bunch of badly dressed website editors count as "celebrities"? No.
No, they do not. After seven pages of snide mockery, however, we only thought it fair to include ourselves. Clearly, you don't have to be a movie star or music mogul to look like a complete gaming jackass.

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...)
