After all, many fans were shocked by the gesture. Later, Jolie told People that "First, we're the best of friends. And it wasn't some odd open-mouthed kiss. It was disappointing that something so beautiful and pure could be turned into a circus."

Björk as a Swan

The red carpet is the perfect time to pull out your wildest outfits. How else are you supposed to stand out when so many stars are there? Singer Björk definitely found a way to stand out at the 2001 Oscars.

The star wore this goose dress and even left ostrich eggs on the red carpet. She later told Us Weekly that "I was dropping them carefully on the red carpet but other people's bodyguards kept picking them up and saying in their thick American accents, 'Scuse me, ma'am, you dropped this.'"

A Bit Extreme with Hugh Grant

There are some things that you can't imagine what led to someone doing it. However, maybe that's just one of the downsides to being a celebrity.

Hugh Grant was attending the premiere of Music and Lyrics in 2007 when one wild fan ran up and handcuffed herself to the star. Saying she didn't have the key, the two were left to wait until emergency services responded. In the end, it earned her two hours in jail.
