Oops! I did it again...

It's not just us regular folks who end up saying something embarrassing. Famous, powerful and talented people around the world Frequently end their feet in their mouth too;and of course, their gaffes are often remembered and talked about for years.
The next time you see a celebrity's silly mistake or statements splashed all over the internet, thank your lucky stars that no one is around to record your "talk before you think " moments. Here are a few famous folks and their not-so-proud moments.



Pop star Britney Spears obviously didn't pay attention during geography. She once famously asked,"Where is Australia anyway?"



Singer/actress Jessica Simpson finds her food a tad mystifying: "Is this chicken,(what I'm having), or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says "Chicken of the Sea".



Heartthrob singer Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers was left blushing when an over-excited fan threw a bra at him during a concert. Confused, he actually picked it up before throwing it on the ground again for one of the security people to collect.



Songstress Kelly Clarkson proved that even celebs get starstruck; when she met her idol Mariah Carey, Clarkson blurted out, "I think I'm gonna puke!"



Actress Drew Barrymore probably didn't realize that this sounded a little creepy: "If I die before my cat, I want a little of my ashes put in his food so i can live inside him."



Former US president George W. Bush confused everyone (including himself) with this cryptic statement: "I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president."



R&B diva Beyonce Knowles learnt the hard way that high heels and staircases don't always mix when her stylish walk onstage during a concert in Orlando, the United States, was disrupted by her tripping and falling headlong down the stairs. Within minutes, the video was all over the internet.



The King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley, didn't win many fans when he said," I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to."

W.I.T.C.H.!!!!!!!! XD

Music saves my soul when it's UPSR...

~Roanne~

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roanne (Rouana in Arpitan) is a commune in the Loire department in central France.

It is located 90 km (56 mi) northwest of Lyon on the Loire River.

Economy

Roanne is known for gastronomy (largely because of the famous Troisgros family), textiles, agriculture and manufacturing tanks.

Gastronomy

The Ecole des Trois Ponts, headed by Rene' Dorel, is situated in the Villa Beaulieu in the neighboring community of Riorges, welcoming 200 to 300 foreign guests each year desiring to perfect their culinary talents and practice their French language skills.

History

The toponomy is Gaulish, Rod-Onna ("flowing water") which became Rodumna, then Rouhanne and Roanne. The town was sited at a strategic point, the head of navigation on the Loire, below its narrow gorges. As a trans-shipping point, its importance declined with the collapse of long-distance trade after the fourth century. In the twelfth century, the site passed to the comte du Forez, under whose care it began to recover. An overland route led to Lyon and the Rhône, thus Roanne developed as a transshipping point between Paris and the Mediterranean in early modern France, when waterways were at least as important as roads.

The renewed navigation on the Loire encouraged the export of local products— wines, including casks of Beaujolais that had been shipped overland, ceramics, textiles—and after 1785, coal from Saint-Étienne, which had formerly been onloaded upstream at Saint-Rambert, since river improvements at the beginning of the century. Sturdy goods were rafted downriver on sapinières that were dismantled after use. Half the population of seventeenth and eighteenth-century Roanne depended in some way on this transportation economy: merchants and factors, carriers, carpenters and coopers, master-boatmen and their journeymen and oarsmen, and waterfront laborers (Braudel p360f).

Roanne was one of the first towns served by railroad, with the opening, 15 March 1833, of the terminal on the right bank at the port of Varennes of the third line, from Andrézieux. Following came the opening of the canal from Roanne to Digoin (1838), which placed the city in the forefront of the French Industrial Revolution.

In 1917 the arsenal was established at Roanne, and from 1940 a new industry developed, producing rayon and other new fibers. In the post-industrial phase that set in during the 1970s, Roanne struggled to find new industry and attract tourism.

Roanne: Cool, huh? I was bored and when to google to search my name and... (^-^)

WC !! What does it mean ?

In the days when you couldn't count on a public toilet facility, an English woman was planning a trip to India . She was registered to stay in a small guest house owned by the local schoolmaster. She was concerned as to whether the guest house contained a WC. In England , a bathroom is commonly called a WC which stands for 'Water Closet'. She wrote to the schoolmaster inquiring of the facilities about the WC.

The school master, not fluent in English, asked the local priest if he knew the meaning of WC.

Together they pondered possible meanings of the letters and concluded that the lady wanted to know if there was a 'Wayside Chapel' near the house . . . a bathroom never entered their minds.

So the schoolmaster wrote the following reply:

Dear Madam,

I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is located 9 miles from the house.
It is located in the middle of a grove of pine trees, surrounded by lovely grounds.
It is capable of holding 229 people and is open on Sundays and Thursdays.
As there are many people expected in the summer months, I suggest you arrive early.
There is, however, plenty of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation especially if you are in the habit of going regularly.

It may be of some interest to you that my daughter was married in the WC as it was there that she met her husband.
It was a wonderful event. There were 10 people in every seat. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces.
We can take photos in different angle.
My wife, sadly, has been ill and unable to go recently. It has been almost a year since she went last, which pains her greatly.

You will be pleased to know that many people bring their lunch and make a day of it. Others prefer to wait till the last minute and arrive just in time. I would recommend your ladyship plan to go on a Thursday as there is an organ accompaniment.
The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be heard everywhere.

The newest addition is a bell which rings every time a person enters.
We are holding a bazaar to provide plush seats for all since many feel it is long needed.
I look forward to escorting you there myself and seating you in a place where you can be seen by all.

With deepest regards,
The Schoolmaster.


The woman fainted reading the reply........ And she never visited India !!!!
