Young, Wild, & Free: 10 Celebrities Who Surprised Us By Getting Caught Smoking Weed
The Celebrity: Diddy
When He Got Caught Smoking Weed: In December 2006 at a concert in Toronto
WTF Was He Thinking? We've gotta admit that we weren't exactly "surprised" by Diddy puffing away on what appeared to be a small roach at a concert. But it's still not exactly a good look for him and we have to believe that, with all of the business ventures he's involved in these days, he would never get caught doing this so blatantly again. Then again, who knows? They don't call him Puff for nothing, right?
The Celebrity: Cameron Diaz
When She Got Caught Smoking Weed: In February 2007 while vacationing with Drew Barrymore in Hawaii
WTF Was She Thinking? Apparently, A-Rod's ex-boo doesn't care who knows that she smokes weed. She didn't come out and endorse it back in '07. But last year, she admitted that she "had to have" bought weed from Snoop back when she was in high school. Stop snitchin', Cam!
The Celebrity: Michael Phelps
When He Got Caught Smoking Weed: In January 2009 when the News of the World published a photo of him taking a hit from a bong at a private party
WTF Was He Thinking? Always be aware of who might be taking a picture of you before you put your face in front of a bong, dude! Especially when you're being marketed as the perfect All-American guy. Don't think we've forgotten about this, either, just because it happened three years ago. We know why you're doing all of those damn Subway commercials all of a sudden!
The Celebrity: Paris Hilton
When She Got Caught Smoking Weed: In June 2008 on an online video, just one day after telling Larry King that she had never done any drugs
WTF Was She Thinking? We could have dealt with Paris getting caught smoking once. But she obviously doesn't know when to tell people to turn their cameras off, because The Smoking Gun found not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but seven videos of her doing illegal drugs. SMH. When the little red light is on, put the drugs away, Paris.
The Celebrity: Chris Brown
When He Got Caught Smoking Weed: In March 2011 while driving and talking on his cell phone
WTF Was He Thinking? His reps immediately denied that he was smoking weed. They insisted he was only puffing away on a mini-cigar. But, c'mon, Chris: You're a pretty wealthy guy. If that was a small cigar, why would you be puffing away on it when it was that small? At any rate, we wouldn't suggest you smoke anything out in public right now—or ever—given your past history, son.
The Celebrity: Miley Cyrus
When She Got Caught Smoking Weed: In December 2010 when she was photographed taking a hit out of a bong
WTF Was She Thinking? Turns out, that bong was reportedly filled with Salvia, which is a legal herb. However, at her birthday party a year later, she got up on stage and told everyone that she smokes "too much weed." Her rep later said she was just kidding, but, um, yeeeeeeeah. Whatever. To be as kooky as you are, you have to be smoking something Miley.
The Celebrity: Elijah Wood
When He Got Caught Smoking Weed: In March 2011 on the set of his new show, Wilfred
WTF Was He Thinking? Not the goddamn Lord of the Rings kid, too! Okay, okay, so he's not actually a "kid." Dude is 30 now. But, still, did you every think you'd see him diving face-first into a bong and getting high off his ass? In actuality, this photo features a prop bong and he wasn't actually getting high here. But this shot did cause some magazines to ask him about his own habit. And he revealed that, yes, he has smoked weed in the past and actually advocates for it to be decriminalized.
The Celebrity: Michael Beasley
When He Got Caught Smoking Weed: In August 2009 after accidentally posting a TwitPic of himself with a small baggie that appeared to be filled with weed on a table next to him
WTF Was He Thinking? Just a year after being drafted No. 2 overall in the 2008 NBA Draft, Super Cool Beas found himself in a rehab center shortly after posting that picture. He was having trouble dealing with stress, not drugs, but we can't imagine that the alleged weed helped with his situation. He's since become somewhat of a bust in the NBA and he got busted last year for marijuana possession, proving that he hasn't kicked his habit yet.
The Celebrity: Justin Timberlake
When He Got Caught Smoking Weed: Lots of times before he openly admitted to loving weed in a Playboy profile in June 2011
WTF Was He Thinking? To be fair, JT hasn't tried to hide his love for weed. He's looked plenty high in pics in the past and, last summer, he came out and admitted why he loves it so much. "The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking," he said. "Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high." Fair enough.
The Celebrity: Rihanna
When She Got Caught Smoking Weed: Earlier this week in Hawaii
WTF Was She Thinking? "I'm on vacation"? We're not too sure what was going through Rih-Rih's head. But we really hope she doesn't make a habit out of this. And if she does, at least try and hide it, please. Kids look up to you!
