Celebrity interviews are supposed to be boring. These people are trained to maintain the mask, to give the most politically correct answers. Teams of individuals ensure that most celeb interviews are fluff, nothing but promotion for the celeb's latest project and fawning from the interviewer. But sometimes the incredible happens: the rich and famous person doesn't stick to their script and the best efforts of agents and PR teams melt under the studio lights.

Drunken tirades. Arrogant boasts. Sleazy pick-up lines. They're rare and captivating. Especially when caught on tape, as all of these interviews are.

Prepare to cringe and wince through the 25 Most Damning Celebrity Interviews.
