We’ve all had some kind of nickname at some stage in our life, some of them last us forever and others are just for when we are younger. Here are 10 celebrities that The Frisky who have had nicknames when they were younger, but they weren’t nice ones at all. Kids sure can be mean can’t they?
Tyra Banks
her classmates couldn’t settle on a single nickname to mock her, so they rotated through a few of them. “People called me Olive Oyl, Lightbulb Head, and Fivehead, because my forehead was so big,” she said.
Katy Perry
Her boobs earned her a nickname. “In middle school they called me ‘Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder,’” she said. “Now they call me hot.” Yes, these things do have a way of getting better.
Lady GaGa
Swears she once sported a lot up top, too. She says that her NYU acting classmates called her “Big Boobs McGee” as a result. “At that time my breasts were much bigger, and firm and delicious. I was 15 to 20 pounds heavier than I am now,” she said. “I would wear shirts that were low-cut and the teachers would tell me that I couldn’t wear them, and I’d point to another girl who was wearing the same thing, and they would say, ‘Well, it looks different on her.’ It wasn’t fair.” I think you can see the pain that inspired “Born This Way.”
Rosie Whiteley-Huntington
She was mocked because her lips resemble the shape of a chest. “I used to get called Tit Lips—because I had big lips but no breasts,” says Rosie.
Peaches Geldof
Her unusual name. “I used to get teased all the time at school because of my name and it traumatized me for a while,” she said. “Every Wednesday we used to have tinned peaches to eat and whenever I used to bring the fork to my mouth, everyone would go ‘You’re eating yourself! You’re eating yourself!’” Wow, kids are ridiculous.
Marisa Miller
Her butt makes her millions now, but in school, it got her teased. “They called me ‘Bubble Butt’—but I’m over it,” she said, explaining that her best friend was ridiculed for the same thing. “We refused to do squats at volleyball practice because we didn’t want them to get any bigger.”
Sofia Vergara
She was teased for not having curves. “I was ridiculously skinny,” she said. “They called me ‘Palillo,’ which means toothpick in Spanish.”
Ashley Tisdale
She avoided gym class at all costs back in the day. “I was really bad at running in class because I had these really skinny legs – I hated it,” she said. “They called me ‘Chicken Legs.’”
Kimora Lee Simmons
Was the butt of jokes, too. (Wait, does every model have a story of how they were teased for looking strange as a teen?) “Kids can be cruel,” she said. “They called me ‘Chinky Giraffe.’ I cried all the time. But my mother wanted me to turn my tears into something else, something positive.”
Hayley Atwell
She recently revealed that she was given a much nastier name in her schoolgirl days—Hayley “Fatwell.” She explained to The Guardian, “My real self, the self I have always been from a child, is a loner and nerd, slightly overweight, with a very heavy fringe. I was ‘Hayley Fatwell’ at school.
Funny how all of these are women, I wonder is it because men don’t like to talk about being bullied or teased because they don’t want their ego hurt or if it’s because women are an easier target for being called names?

6. Bar Refaeli
7. Anne Hathaway
8. Natalie Portman
9. Cobie Smulders

What do you think? Pretty good list in my opinion, and I’m glad that Katy Perry wasn’t number 1 again this year.
As you can see above – Katy Perry and Kanye West‘s new music video for her song E.T. has just premiered and it’s pretty awesome in my opinion.
The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 yesterday makign it the fourth song from her ‘Teenage Dream’ album to hit the number 1 spot, which is the first album in over six years to have four number 1 songs from it. On the news she Tweeted “I just got off stage to AMAZING NEWS. YOU’VE MADE #ET NUMBER 1!!!! THIS IS RECORD BREAKINGLY AMAZING! That’s 4 in a row! I am in tearssss!!!”
I am in love with this song and the video as well. What’s your thoughts on it?
Last week it was reported that Katy Perry’s mother, Mary Perry Hudson, was shopping around a memoir to many news outlets. Hudson says that the book isn’t a tell all about her daughter but she does discuss her and she isn’t pleased with Katy’s career choice. Page Six got their hands on part of the book and here is what she says:
On Katy’s boobs: “Katy stepped out from behind the changing doors in a tiny risqué costume. No mother wants to see the top of her daughter’s boobs . . . My first instinct was to order her back behind those doors and demand she put something else on . . . However, I had no problem letting my eyebrows say what I wouldn’t allow my mouth to utter.”
On Katy’s first song ‘I Kissed A Girl’: “I recognized the psalmist gift in her performance. Yet she sang out, ‘I kissed a girl, and I liked it,’ while thousands joined her. One part of my heart soared . . . the other part broke for the thousands of hungry souls being fed something that didn’t nourish their spirit, but fed their flesh.”
It’s no secret that Katy was brought up with a strict Christian upbringing but she never really discusses it. Her mother says that she hopes Katy somehow gives up her pop career and turns into a “a Kathryn Kuhlman type of healer.” I find it funny how she says this isn’t a tell all book but then she disses her daughter in it.
You know the way people say everybody has somebody that is completely identical to them out there? Well ONTD have come up with a list of 12 celebrities who apparently look like each other. Take a look for yourself and see if you see the resemblance.
Taylor Swift and Björk
Not only do these to stars have an uncanny resemblance but they are both grammy winning singers. The best of the best. If you don’t think they look alike then idk maybe squint a little bit and then you see their undeniable similarities.
Marilyn Monroe and Lindsay Lohan
Both these actresses embrace the essence of beauty and danger, timeless looks and the type of tragedy you find with fame. Both women who Hollywood should have more respect for and not take for granted IMO.
Lady Gaga and Lykke Li
I am pretty sure they are same person or twins. Both take a lot of black and white photos and both were born in 1986 and both celebrate their bdays this month. Think about it!!
Katie Holmes and Britney Spears
Both were such famous teen icons in the late 90s and both are still famous but have grown up and have kids. Who knows if Britney ever has a girl she may look exactly like Suri Cruise!!
Katy Perry and Adele
Both these number 1 selling females have very pretty faces and very pale skin and very big blue eyes and big boobs. But don’t think they are just talented for having a pretty face. They are both talented and deserve all the fame and recognition they have.
John Legend and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
One is a famous hipster and the other a famous music artist but they both look cute with a beard.
Tyra Banks and Rihanna
They both are very pretty even tho they have somewhat large foreheads and they both have such pretty eyes IMO!! Also just a reminder that Tyra is a singer too and has her own music videos and everything and she can dance so watch out Rihanna!!
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen and Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson might be Mary-Kate and Ashley’s long lost triplet, but they are definitely all living the American dream!!
Justin Timberlake and Ryan Phillippe
Hot!! I think everyone will all at least agree on this one. Their resemblance has been talked about for years.
Amy Adams and Emma Stone
Both leading ladies on screen and I’m sure will be competing against roles and Oscars throughout their career with both looking so alike and being so talented.
Beyonce and Jessica Alba
So beautiful. So bootylicious. Both are triple threat entertainers (singing, acting, dancing) and look great in gold dresses matching their golden locks.
Dakota Fanning and Amanda Seyfried
Last but not least we have 2 big blue-eyed blonds. They look like dolls :) They are both actresses so I hope that someday they play sisters or mother and daughter because they look so much alike it would be a shame not to use that in a family movie.
I’m going to say a big fat no to all of these except maybe Amanda Seyfriend-Dakota Fanning and Lady GaGa-Lykke Li. Everybody know’s that Katy Perry is like Zooey Deschanel and definitely not Adele.
Some documents in this world are of undeniable importance: the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and more recently, AskMen’s Top 99 Women of 2011 list.
This year’s list, which marks the 10th anniversary of the hottie countdown, has some familiar faces on it, including Beyonce and Angelina Jolie, who have made the list every year since its inception.
Many of our most-beloved beauties, however, didn’t even crack the top 50, leaving plenty of room for newcomers, including ‘Mad Men‘ star Jessica Pare and new mom Miranda Kerr, filling in the top 10 and top five spots, respectively.
It was none other than ‘Gossip Girl‘ star Blake Lively who earned this year’s top spot on the list, with ‘Black Swan’ beauty Mila Kunis and ‘Modern Family’ vixen Sofia Vergara rounding out the top three.
Lively, whose transformation from Upper East Side socialite Serena van der Woodsen to an Oxycontin-addicted single mom in gritty crime drama ‘The Town’ earned her critical praise, shot up the list this year, moving up from her number 85 ranking in 2010.
In addition to a number of new faces on the list, like Nicki Minaj, a number of AskMen favorites appeared in the ranks, including Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks, star of Kanye West’s ‘Runaway,’ who earned the number four position, mom-to-be Natalie Portman, who comes in at number 11, and 10-year list vet Gisele, who takes the number 34 spot.
Filling out the top 10 are familiar faces Cheryl Cole, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry and Anne Hathaway, who took spots six through nine.
