Have you watched a movie that is absolutely dreadful but yet you can’t turn it off and find yourself glued to the screen? There is plenty of them but Screen Junkies have come up with a list of the 5 best worst movies ever created. Some of them are so bad but you can’t help but think they are cinematic masterpieces. Take a look for yourself:
5. “Con Air”
It should come as no surprise to see a Nicolas Cage movie on this list. Cameron Poe (Cage) is finally getting out of prison, after killing a man in an act of self defense. He is clamoring to get home to see his beautiful wife and little girl. During transport of crazy convicts aboard a plane, those convicts high jack the plane. A guilty pleasure for sure. Cage puts on a horrid accent and sports another awful coif. A stellar cast (Steve Buscemi, John Malkovich, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhames and Dave Chappelle) assist Cage in some scenery chewing acting.
4.”Ladybugs”
Many may have forgotten about this 1992 comedy, while others may choose to simply block it from their minds. In an attempt to climb the corporate latter, Chester (Rodney Dangerfield) agrees to coach a girl’s soccer team. He soon realizes that the girls are terrible athletes and he must come up with a ringer in order to win a game. He enlists his future stepson, Matthew, to put on a blonde wig and become a part of the team. 90′s minor heartthrob plays Matthew/Martha, a kid who initially joins out of bribery but sticks around when he discovers that his dream girl is also on the team. A ridiculous plot, that is fairly sexist but also pretty funny.
3. “Drop Dead Fred”
Lizzie (Phoebe Cates) goes through a mental and emotional breakdown after her husband requests a divorce. Some women have their own ways of dealing with such pain, Lizzie deals by allowing her childhood imaginary friend, drop dead Fred, come back into her life. The problem with Fred is that he is a bit of a jerk and causes far too many problems that become poor Lizzie’s fault. “Drop Dead Fred” attempts to be a Tim Burton type film but fails to bring the same amount of whimsy. Phoebe Cates is lovely but Rik Myall (Fred) is just irritating.
2. “Spice World”
This is a film that is more silly than awful. In 1997 we were all living in a world of spice. The five pop stars with girl power were everywhere, so why not make a film where they are the stars? When you become that famous you can do anything you want, including asking Elton John to be in your movie.
1. “Showgirls”
Like Randy from “Scream 2″ says when claiming that “Showgirls” is his favorite scary movie, it truly is “absolutely frightening.” The acting is atrocious, proving that Elizabeth Berkeley had much better acting chops in “Saved by the Bell.” The idea that the protagonist (Berkeley) was such an amazing dancer, yet looks like she was having some sort of spastic fit most of the time. Let us not forget the classic pool sex scene featuring Berkeley and Kyle MacLachlan, a love scene that appeared to include some sort of seizure. There is a reason “Showgirls” is often recalled as a terrible movie and cult classic, it has the entertainment value and pure audacity of trying to be a legitimate drama.
Yeah I’d agree with this list, especially Spice World. The teenager in me can’t ever let myself hate this movie. What do you think of the list? Would you add anything to it?
Mel B is joining the rest of the Spice Girls and having yet another baby she has announced, she follows Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton who both also announced they are pregnant.
Mel announced that she is expecting her third child with her husband, Stephen Belafonte, and that the baby is due sometime around July or August which is the same time Victoria is due her baby girl. Mel already has a 12-year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, and then there’s the 3-year-old daughter, Angel Iris, that she had with Eddie Murphy. This will be the first child with Stephen. Here is what she tells Hello! Magazine:
“We’re really excited. We wouldn’t have planned and waited for four yours to have a baby if we weren’t really excited about it and ready for it. Even though you can never really be truly ready. I haven’t fully decided if I want to know (the sex of the baby) or not. I’m over the first trimester, so I’m past the shady three months and on to safe territory. The first three months, I was pretty sick and tired, to be honest, which I’ve never been before. I’m always broody. Hopefully, I’m going to be pregnant by the end of this year, or, if not, next year. I love kids.”
Congratulations to them all, I can’t wait to see what kind of baby name she is going to come up with this time.
Over the past few years there have been some big pop culture flops so to celebrate the turkey season, Wonder Wall have come up with a list of the biggest turkeys in recent memory.
15. Christina Aguilera, “Bionic”
After 2006′s Grammy-winning “Back to Basics,” expectations were high for Christina’s sixth studio album. And it’s not like “Bionic” was bad, per se. But between her postponing her tour for unknown reasons and allegations from Lady Gaga fans that Christina was copying Gaga’s style, the album was doomed. Worldwide, it only sold 600,000 copies; compare that with the 4.5 million copies “Back to Basics” has sold.
14. Lindsay Price
We’re sure she’s a really nice lady, but Lindsay Price is TV Teflon. Sure, the pilots she’s on get picked up, but how long do the series last? Take her latest show, “Eastwick,” for example: Not only was it never picked up for a full season, but all 13 episodes of the 2009 NBC show never even made it to air. Want more proof of Lindsay’s TV turkeydom? “Lipstick Jungle,” “Pepper Dennis,” “Coupling.”
13. Madonna as an actress
From “Shanghai Surprise” to “The Next Best Thing” to “Swept Away,” there’s no lack of examples of Madonna’s suckiness as an actress. Yes, she’s one of the great performers of all time, but give her lines and blocking instead of lyrics and choreography and she’s a total train wreck. Thankfully, she got the point after “Swept Away” (could it have been winning yet another Worst Actress Razzie that really drove the message home?). Now we get to look forward to her direction on “W.E.” (yay?).
12. “Cutthroat Island”
A box office bomb’s costs exceeds its revenue. By that definition, “Cutthroat Island” wasn’t just a bomb; it was a nuclear warhead. Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest box office loss of all time, the 1995 Geena Davis and Matthew Modine pirate thriller cost $100 million to make and promote, but made just $11 million total at the box office. Not only that, but it pushed Carloco Pictures into bankruptcy.
11. JC Chasez’s solo career
It’s hard to live in Justin Timberlake’s shadow. But after seeing his solo career explode, JC thought he could do the same. (He was the second-most-popular member of *NSYNC, after all.) But it just didn’t work out that way. First of all, calling your album “Schizophrenic” and wearing a straight jacket on the cover is bound to bring some anger from mental health groups. Also, let’s not forget JC is just not JT.
10. “Coupling”
“Coupling” was about a group of six good-looking thirtysomethings who are either dating, have dated or want to date one another. The UK version was a smash hit, so in 2003 they tried to adapt it for a U.S. audience. It failed miserably (only four episodes aired), but we won’t blame this one all on Lindsay Price, who (surprise!) played Jane Honda.
9. Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines
In 1999 Garth Brooks had begun to develop a movie with Paramount called “The Lamb,” in which he’d star as Chris Gaines, an emotionally conflicted rock star. To create buzz for the project, “Chris” recorded “Garth Brooks in … The Life of Chris Gaines,” filmed a “Behind the Music” for Chris and performed on “SNL” when Garth hosted. It all left the public confused, and as a result the album was a bust and the movie went on an indefinite hiatus. No wonder Rolling Stone called the whole project “the most monumentally disastrous marketing idea that mainstream pop had seen in years.”
8. “Glitter”
If you’ve seen “Precious,” you know Mariah Carey can act. But back in 2001 when “Glitter” came out, critics were singing a different tune. Reviews for the movie couldn’t have been worse, and “Glitter” bombed at the box office. (It grossed just over $5 million worldwide, less than a quarter of its $22 million budget.) Even the film’s soundtrack was a dismal failure: It was Mariah’s worst showing on the Billboard charts, and Mariah was dropped from her label as a result.
7. The Spice Girls, “Forever”
By 2000 Geri had peaced out of the Spice Girls, but Victoria, Mel B, Emma and Mel C had enough girl power left in them — or so they thought. Unfortunately, their edgier R&B sound on “Forever” didn’t resonate with audiences, and in early 2001, they officially announced that they were breaking up. (Forever? Try for never — or until 2007, when they did their reunion tour.)
6. Lindsay Lohan at Ungaro
Say what you want about Lindsay Lohan’s personal life, but the girl has style. So in September 2009, when it was announced that Emanuel Ungaro hired her as its artistic adviser, it actually seemed like a good pairing. But when the collection, designed by Estrella Archs, was presented that October in Paris, it was met with about as much praise as “I Know Who Killed Me.” Women’s Wear Daily called the collection “an embarrassment.” What? They don’t like heart-shaped sequined pasties? By March, Lindsay and Ungaro had parted ways.
5. Prince changing his name to the Love Symbol
Prince was actually born Prince Rogers Nelson, so he actually lucked out in the celebrity name game. So why he would want to change his name to an unpronounceable symbol is absolutely insane. But that’s what he did in 1993. Since you can’t pronounce the symbol, people would just call him “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.” On May 16, 2000, after his contract with Warner/Chappell expired, Prince stopped using the Love Symbol moniker, explaining that since he was now freed from undesirable relationships associated with the name Prince, he would use his name again. And all was right with the world.
4. Jessica Simpson’s country career
Jessica Simpson’s a Texas girl who was raised on country music, so making country music would be a logical step in her career, right? So very, very wrong. While “Do You Know” became Jess’s first #1 album of her career, it all went south from there. Less than a year after the record’s release, she and her country label, Sony Nashville, parted ways. Never a good sign.
3. “The Jay Leno Show”
Here are the dismal effects of the 10 p.m. “The Jay Leno Show” and NBC’s subsequent flip-flopping: five wasted hours of primetime TV weekly; destroyed ratings for local NBC newscasts; made Jay Leno look like a selfish jerk; made NBC look like bumbling fools; NBC lost Conan O’Brien. Sure, there’s more, but we think that’s enough to suffice for turkeydom.
2. “Gigli”
This Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck stinker doesn’t just make the list because it was so awful that it was yanked from theaters three weeks after release. It’s not just on here because it’s the only movie ever to win the Razzie gram slam: Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Couple. Nope, “Gigli” is mostly on here because it also contributed to the beginning of the end of Jen and Ben’s relationship. RIP Bennifer 1.0.
1. Britney Spears’s 2007 VMA “comeback”
Where were you when the bomb hit? The bomb that was Britney’s 2007 MTV Video Music Awards performance. It was supposed to be her finest hour, her big comeback. Instead, it was an absolute bust. Who could forget that dazed look in her eyes as she basically just stood there, unable to even lip-sync right while her backup dancers moved around her? But we’d say she made up for it since then, don’t cha think?
They definitely got it right in my opinion.

Joan Rivers does not like Victoria Beckham at all and claims she is not the only person in Los Angeles that would like to see the back of Posh Spice and her family.
Closer Magazine asked Rivers what her thoughts on the former Spice Girl were and she let a whole lot of venom seep through her botox-filled face.
“Victoria Beckham is so nasty. Why doesn’t she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don’t care what she does. She’s mean to all the people around her. She’s too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers and greeters at the airports in LA and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she’s rude. She can’t always just be having a bad day . . .
Victoria Beckham should get a life. I am not a fan of outrageous consumption. I think it is vulgar. And no one should flaunt that they have a hundred Hermes bags. Not when people are starving. Everyone should be allowed to have a great time but she shows a distinct lack of class.â€
Charming, I’m all for feuds and I’m not the biggest Victoria Beckham fan but I would like to know who is telling Joan Rivers all of this because anytime I hear of people who meet Posh Spice they say they expected her to be a complete and utter bitch but that she is really nice and sweet.

Mel B was never shy when she was in the Spice Girls, things haven’t really haven’t changed have they?
The singer turned burlesque star has opened up to Closer magazine about her sex life and her pocket rocket vibrator…
On women not orgasming: “I read about new research that showed 75 per cent of women don’t have an orgasm during sex! Oh my God! That amazed me, because having a good sex life is absolutely essential in my opinion.”
On her favorite little toy: “My advice to women who are unfulfilled in the bedroom is to invest in a sex toy. I use a little vibrator called a Pocket Rocket – and it does the trick every time. The good thing about sex toys is you can use them by yourself of with your partner.”
On her sex life with husband Stephen Belafont: “My hubby and I have a great time together – I’m not sure if it’s because we’re the same age, but we both have very high libidos.”
And finally on getting intimate: “If you feel like getting intimate with your partner, it’s important to be relaxed. I often have a candle-lit bath first and listen to some soothing music. Next, put on some gorgeous lingerie – I’ve got a big collection that’s just for the bedroom. Make sure there are no distractions, then go for it!”
I wonder if women who used to be fans of the Spice Girls back in the day would find it weird getting sex tips from Scary Spice Mel B?
In fact, with her glossy curls and understated make-up, the singer looked positively demure – a far cry from her raunchy ‘Ginger Spice’ days.
And then she turned round. The 36-year-old had clearly not reckoned with the chilly winter winds on the red carpet catching one of those romantic ruffles and giving the crowds a rather revealing glimpse underneath her dress.
Her unintentional peekaboo moment was all the more unfortunate as the mother-of-one was attending the Children’s Baftas.
“Victoria Beckham is so nasty. Why doesn’t she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don’t care what she does. She’s mean to all the people around her. She’s too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers and greeters at the airports in LA and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she’s rude. She can’t always just be having a bad day . . .
