The Greatest and/or Most Ridiculous Celebrity Products

Haute couture lollipops.

*bzzz* What are three words that will surely further terrorist hatred and retaliation on behalf of all third world nations? you might respond. And you might be right, but they’re also a totally real thing created by the brilliant mind *shakes head* of one Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

This is what they look like. They retail for $25 a pop, pun unintended as I stopped trying with this about two sentences ago. Here. Hate as I hate.

This is stupid. But it is actually not the dumbest celebrity “creation” we’ve seen over the years. Oh, my friends, there is worse (or better, depending on your perception. I tend to skew “more awfulsometastic.”)

Bill Wyman’s Metal Detector

Bill Wyman is trying to get kids into Archeology. So this isn’t necessarily dumb. It’s just…interesting. I don’t often think Bill Wyman and combing the beach for treasures. I more tend to think “Bill Wyman and pedobear” which casts a creepy shadow on his creating products for kids.

Jimmy Buffett Calamari Rings

Jimmy Buffett is the Donald Trump of the shitty music world. So it is no shock that he will slap his name on every margarita maker, mix and rim sugar that comes across his desk. But he also markets frozen seafood. Yes, you too can get food poisoning and leered at by your dad’s Tommy Bahama-sporting coworker, all at the same concert!

Hulkster Cheeseburgers

There was a brief period of time before his son paralyzed someone with his car and before he got badtouch creepy with his own daughter that we as a nation still liked Hulk Hogan. But he has always been an unspeakable huckster (hence, Hulkster), leading to this bullshit finding its way into your local Walmart freezer.

“But Courtney,” you say with a sob, “I need something on which to cook my Hulkster Cheeseburger!” Then you, my friend, need a Foreman Grill ripoff like right now.

Lindsay Lohan Sevin Nyne Spray Tanner

Named after numbers (as opposed to her ugly legging line which was named for the birthdate of Marilyn Monroe, someone I am real sick of these skanks idolizing), Sevin Nyne was a spray tan formula Lindsay Lohan created/stole, whichever, whatever. Please note that Lindsay Lohan is someone who periodically leaves the house looking like this, and this was in her good days. So I wouldn’t buy spray tan from her. It’s not one of your better ideas.

Paris Hilton’s Canned Prosecco

Paris Hilton has all the class and elegance of a can of syrupy malt liquor, so this was actually the most perfect endorsement of all time.

Paula Deen’s Butter-Flavored Lip Balm

File this under things that are totally real and amazing.

Sylvester Stallone’s High Protein Pudding

File this under things that are real and terrifying. I am not making this up. This happened. And it was named this. I bet it was salty.

I could totally go for that lip balm were it not for for Paula leering at my soft, buttery lips every time I used it.

Sevin Nyne is named for LiLo's favourite numbers. 6126 (her hilarifying line of leggings) is the one named for Marilyn Monroe's birthdate.

I curse you for forcing me to admit I know this. If you ever force me to defend LiLo's gross teeth, I'm breaking up with you.

I misread "Prosecco" as "Prosciutto" and thought that was even better than the real product.

Did the photo load incompletely or is there something off about that photo of Paris? Her arm looks weird and there's a big flesh-colored space where her chest should be. I can't tell if it's a Photoshop hackjob or a computer error on my end. Of course, the blank space could just be a metaphor for her existence, I suppose.

That Lohan spray tan freaks me out: I have garden chemicals made by a company named "Sevin." Coincidence? Me thinks not.

I agree with everything MelBivDevoe said. Everything.

Doesn't Hogan claim he was approached to be the spokesperson for what became the George Foreman Grill, but missed a phone call or something like that. If so, his product is just plain sad,

WHAT? No Kevin's Bacon?!?!?

I can't believe you have the Hulkster cheeseburgers over the Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer, one of the greatest products ever.

25$ for a Situation lollipop? At least now I know the going street price for roofies.

The cure for your male puddin' tasting salty, drink some pineapple juice. Natures semen sweetener.

I once had Mr. T paper lunchbags. Not a lunch BOX, you understand, but lunch BAGS. They had a cartoon picture of Mr. T running on them, with "Time for Lunch!" They were awesome.

Hey, Stallone:

Serve it up straight from the faucet and I'll consider it. Otherwise, no.

Paula Deen should be slapped for that. If I'm going to bother, I'll just use real butter.

I'm mildly embarrassed that I felt the need to say "There are no sevens or (important) nines in Marilyn Monroe's birthday." But I see it's already been covered.

To be fair everything Hulk Hogan sells is pretty sad. The other day when he was washing my car we were talking about this.

Pat Robertson of 700 club fame has a diet protein powder mix. Because nothing say diet quite like Jesus?

What about Terry Bradshaw peanut butter?
