Looks like Justin Bieber could have used a few more years in high school. David Letterman was teasing the 18-year-old pop star about his latest tattoo, urging him to draw the line at creating a mural like "the Sistine Chapel," when the Biebs responded, "I'm not going for the Sixteenth Chapel."

Knowing he had the perfect set-up for a joke, Letterman responded, more to the audience than to Bieber, "Canadian high school!" as the Biebs looked on cluelessly.

OK, we'll cut Bieber a little slack here. It's hard to pay attention in Social Studies when you're on your way to becoming an international heartthrob. Nevertheless ... from Bieber to Jessica Simspon to Britney Spears, click through our slideshow and let us know: Which celeb had the dumbest quote?

    Because his whole demeanor was dumb to go along w/the quote. Several are not surprisingly geographic. Plenty of people don't know what calamari is, and "chicken" of the sea is just terribly misleading, right? LoL

    As much as I love Britney, that was moronic. Second goes to Bieber. I knew about the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo, and other elements of the Renaissance as early as fifth or sixth grade. This is not the first idiot thing I've heard come out of his mouth though, so I have no problem admitting a bit of a bias. Any 16 year old Canadian that thinks he has the knowledge from which to bash America had better at least know such simple things from world history. That said, I give props to anyone nailing Selena Gomez ;) Pickler is real close to a tie, but the more I learn about Oklahoma schools, the less I can hold against her. The only fish they know here in Oklahoma is catfish. Squid is just not on their radar.
    All of you selecting Paris, well, she has you right where she wants you.

    I was surprised that Lindsey Lohan, Jackass, Sean Penn, Snooki and Nancy Pelosi didn't make the list. "Chicken of the Sea", "winning", "We have to pass it to see..." and a few unquotable boners by other celebrities just goes to show simplistic dumbing down of English speaking celebrity. Some hang on every word and some are perptually stupid.

    This goes to prove that Bieber's Mom should have demanded that he spend less time with a microphone and more time on this textbooks. I am sure Selina knows what and where the Cistine Chapel is and its significance. Some day whe he is older and much wiser, say 19, he will be asked about the politcs or social issues and he may demonstrate further ignorance and some Bieber loving fans will take it as gospel.

    Curiously, with the notable movies and documentaries of the past two decades about the Cistine Chapel a modestly educated teen should have known what it was in a flash. Bieber came on the music scene in a flash, but I don't see the ability to stay after the girly hype wears off. Who wants a brain like that running an important office in some corporation in a second career after the crowd begins to say "Who"?

    If you are going to bag someone out for misspeaking, then perhaps you should do a simple spell check of your own words first.

    Brittney's was the worst, but Bieber and the rest are all about second. Kelly Pickler's wasn't really that bad, and Sheen's is random, but otherwise they are all bad.

    Alright, be honest: Which one of you chose Beaver because you don't like him?

    Come on, OUT with it!! Front and center!!

    Seriously, I feel this entire question is aimed toward Bieber, and if you would recall previous airhead quotes, it's an honest slip of the tongue or confusion - not complete STUPIDITY.
    (Seriously, read Britney's quote if you didn't already. THAT is stupid.

    I'll give the guy credit, he's actually trying to look like a man in this interview..

    It is better to never have heard of the Sistine Chapel than to be confused about Canada as an overseas country when you live in the US, or to think Japan is in Africa. It might be the trend of the moment to pick on Bieber but his was not the stupidest quote.

    Even though I love Britney, this was just plain ridiculous. Everyone else was at least justified. What she said makes zero sense.

    1: Okay, that definitely isn't a biggie. Not many people know who Sixtus IV is. Sistine also isn't a commonly used name. So sixteen, which it sounds like, wouldn't be that hard to guess. Especially to someone who isn't familiar with the church.

    2: That can confuse people. Stuff like that normally does.

    3: I didn't know that either. Not many people know that the other name for octopus is calamari.

    4: She probably had no idea why that was a part of the name. Not many people know the names of french cities. Most people don't even know that Orleans is a city in France.

    5: She probably doesn't shop at Walmart, so you can't blame her for not knowing what happens there.

    6: Christenings are for Christianity, but he meant he doesn't know what religion to have the boy initiated in.

    7: Winning was a nice quote.

    When you break it down like that, I have to say Justin is 2nd worst (I thought tied for 2nd before). He clearly hadn't heard of the chapel, which is well know the rest could be more misunderstandings/mid-speakings than I originally thought. Brittney is clearly the worst to me, but Bieber is 2nd.
