[This site](http://channels.netscape.com/ns/celebrity/becksmith.jsp?p=49) claims to list the ten weirdest celebrities: 1. Michael Jackson 2. Courtney Love 3. Nick Nolte 4. David Blaine 5. Christina Aguilera 6. Gary Busey 7. Lil’ Kim 8. Anne Heche 9. Nic Cage 10. Penny Marshall Okay, I think we can all agree on Michael Jackson. But come on, do they expect us to believe Penny Marshall is stranger than Crispin Glover? ---

I’m stunned Christoper Walken is nowhere on that list. ---

Ed Wood and his coterie out-weird most of them. Also, Rondo Hatton. I’d put Sammy Davis Jr. and John Astin in between Gary Busey and Li’l Kim. ---

I agree that Crispin Glover should be WAY up there. David Arquette is pretty spastic, too. ---

Just my orinion, but the impression I get from watching his interviews is that Christopher Walken is actually a very stable, level-headed guy who’s having a lot of fun with the fact that he can play a psychotic freak so well. Despite how weird the characters he plays are, I haven’t seen anything to indicate he’s like that in real life. Other than that, I agree with the votes for Glover, Jolie and Young. Sean Penn used to be quite the freak, but I haven’t heard much about his antics lately. Has he settled down? ---

Another vote for Billy Bob and Lolie. I am very fond of Christopher Walken, so I am heartened to hear that he probably isn’t quite so freaky in real life. ---

How about Jeff Goldblum? He always seems kind of disoriented, like the people who call talk shows and leave their radios on ---

Christina Aguilera? She’s not weird. She’s cultivated an image of being weird to sell records. I mean, no-one’s really suckered in by the skanky clothes and all are they? ---

I immediately thought “Crispin Glover” when I saw the title. I see that I am in agreement with the OP here. I get the warm fuzzies from that. ---

**Krokodil** – what was so weird about John Astin? I’m not positive Bill-Bob Thornton really is weird – I think it might be some weird postmodern commentary on celebrity. And, yeah, there’s lots of people weirder than Penny Marshall. ---

Of the top of my head I’d say Emo Philips and David Sedaris should be on the list. I think they’re both hilarious, but they can be twisted! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/top-10-weirdest-celebrities/207322.md?page=2)
