  2. Nicki Minaj

    On Friday, Minaj revealed a "fleeting image" of her nipple while jumping up and down during a live performance of her hit "Where Them Girls At" on ABC's "Good Morning America." Guess we know where her girls are at!

  3. Ann Curry

    Ann Curry

    The "Today" show anchor flubbed her commencement speech at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., last year when she named Wheaton's most famous grads. The problem? She named a few grads from Wheaton College in Illinois!

  4. Ashlee Simpson

    Ashlee Simpson

    Simpson was infamously caught lip syncing to "Pieces of Me" on "Saturday Night Live" in 2004, at which point she broke into a bizarre jig that she described as a "hoedown."

  5. Christina Aguilera

    Christina Aguilera

    Aguilera botched the National Anthem at this year's Super Bowl, repeating the line, "What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming" and swapping the word "watched" for "hailed."

  6. Beyonce

    Beyonce

    Beyonce looked a little less glamorous than usual when she fell down the stairs at an Orlando concert in 2007. She specifically asked fans not to post the clip on YouTube, but needless to say, they ignored her.

  7. Kanye West

    While performing in Sacramento in 2008, West shouted out to Seattle, where he'd kicked off his tour a few days earlier. Whoops!

Olivia Wilde must be pretty red in the face right now.

The 27-year-old actress had an embarrassing gaffe on Saturday when she was Tweeting to promote her movie, "Cowboys & Aliens."

"Cowboys screening for 8,000 in the Piazza Grande a the Locarno Fest tonight," she wrote. "Prepping my speech in Swiss, Italian, and Apache just in case."

Only problem? "Swiss" isn't a language, as her followers soon let her know.

To her credit, Wilde acknowledged the mistake.

"Oh good, turns out there's no Swiss language," she responded. "That makes things simpler. I'll throw in Cantonese just to keep things interesting."

But to make matters worse, Wilde's mother is a "60 Minutes" producer, her father's a journalist and she went to all the best schools. Shouldn't she know better?

From Wilde's "oops" to Nicki Minaj's wardrobe malfunction to Ann Curry's graduation gaffe, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who had the most embarrassing celeb moment?

    Illiterate people:

    It's called "lip-syncing", because you synchronize you lips to the recorded music. What the hell is "lip singing?" Geez.

    You should never get away with lip singing, that's just an insult to real performers.

    Well at least this is the one I would be most embarrassed by. We learn the National Anthem in elementary school and hear it all the time in sports events and several other places. Especially if you are around the military.

    Ashlee and Christina. So embarrassing! Ashlee blaming her band was wrong and stupid. Like we couldn't hear the voice track playing. And Christina's singing was hurting my ears. Olivia's wasn't so bad. Everyone makes mistakes like that. Hey, people still think Chinese is a language.

    I think Christina Aguilera's was the most embarrassing because I think more people saw that happen.

    Isn't it great to have people in the limelight we can make fun of? Hopefully we can see that each one of us makes just as many, or more, "gafs"/mistakes. We are all just humans. Making mistakes is part of our existence. If you don't make any mistakes you never tried anything.

    But, I think being embarrassed about the singing "off" in front of all those people has to hurt. Ouch.

    I selected Nicki because some of my friends here in France (they've never heard about the lady) were interested in her "wardrobe malfunction". What does it exactly mean?

    Hahahahahaa I was going to say Ashlee Simpson cuz that was just ridiculous and then I was going to say Christina Aguilera not only for botching THE National Anthem, but also for the atrocious singing thereafter, but seeing Beyonce fall down the steps was just all-time hilarious, and probably also embarrassing as all hell for her. That was definitely awesome. Made my day, I could watch it over and over.

    For the OP. Quick what is the official language of Burundi? The idea that everybody should know the language of every nation on earth is moronic. I'll bet this woman is a conservative and you are an attack monkey sent by the libtard press after her.

    Actually, most Black African countries use the language of their former "colonizer" as their official language. That's because they have dozens of ethnic groups, and choosing one African language and rejecting the others would create HUGE problems.

    I know, was just joking. I was in Zambia about 3 weeks ago, they have about 70 different tribal languages, top 1 being Bembe t think. But I believe their national language is English.

    How was Zambia? I'm going to spend one month in Madagascar, they have a national language, Malagasy, and two other official languages, French and English.

    Zambia was fantastic! I've been lucky enough to have been stationed around much of the world, but never in sub-Saharan Africa. Spent a few days in Cape Town, Johannesburg and little over a week in various Zambian locals. I envy you going to Madagascar for a month! When do you leave?

    The Belgian prime minister was asked to sing his country's national anthem, and the sang the French one (La Marseillaise).
