I think Ellen is really awkward just watching her interview people is terrible

BSPEARSUK

Nope, can't think of anyone

BadHabits

Kristen Stewart, Britney Spears (at times), Taylor Swift

Toxicity.

Gaga.

Dancehall

I always thought Justin Bieber had an awkward presence to him, especially when speaking.

MinajMeBeyonce

Taylor Swift isn't awkward, she just playing that awkward, innocent, girl angle for the public. I know damn well she isn't like that in day to day life. Taylor is real low key shady.

Desert Rain

The answer is pretty obvious. No shade.

Midnight

On the opposite end of the spectrum are people like Joan Rivers and Wendy Williams. Those two overstep their boundaries when it comes to others and they think it's ok. They're extroverts and people don't seem to think of extroverts as socially awkward, but social awkwardness comes in many forms.

No one, its all an act to get people to feel as if they can relate. How the **** are you gonna sign a multi million dollar contract to star in a movie or release an album if you suffer from social anxiety or are "socially awkward". You don't purposely do **** that will put you in social situations LIKE BECOMING FAMOUS if you're socially awkward.

But there are some actors/singers who really do suffer from social anxiety. Performing is a release for some.

I had a severe case before and some of the effects are still there, but that didn't stop me from running track with a bunch of people watching.

I don't know, some people deal with it differently than others.

My fave can be awkward. He always runs away from parties. For example, this is what he wrote in his diaries about attending the World Music Awards.

Quote:

Anyway, everyone was there. Jennifer Lopez, the Black Eyed Peas, Paris Hilton, Andrea Bocelli. I saw Kelly Rowland again and met Pharrell Williams. And later, there was my award. Best Italian artist of 2009.

Normally in this situation, someone of my age would have admired all of those stars with eyes wide open, hoping to meet them, or enjoying being one of them at least for one night, thanks to the ALL AREAS pass that authorizes you to believe that you have the right to dine at the table next to the Pussycat Dolls.

But I don’t normally do what others normally do.

After having accepted the award from the hands of Roberto Cavalli and Asia Argento, I cleared my throat, gave my thanks - in the most composed English that I could manage - descended the steps of the stage, tracked down Fabrizio and forced him to slip away to the hotel, avoiding security and exiting stealthily from the back of the theater. And while my shiny Dolce & Gabbana shoes got dusty on the dark path that led directly to my shelter, I already felt better.

I was finally at ease, and the further I got away from there, the better I felt. I enjoyed this departure into the twilight of that nameless path more than making my entrance on the red carpet, invaded by microphones and questions in various languages, blinded by the flashes and constricted by a black tuxedo, while I tried to stand firm in my new D&G number 46.

The most absurd image that I remember now is that while performing Breathe Gentle, I notice will.i.am (of the Black Eyed Peas) in the middle of the audience who’s watching me and, while continuing to open and close my mouth, I tell myself: “But what is he thinking? Is he frowning at me? Or is it a look of disgust? Does he understand my English? Is he thinking that I’m just a big European trash bag?”

And then the arrival at the hotel, the meeting in an elevator with one of the Gibb brothers - that is one of the Bee Gees… I don’t know if I’m making myself clear! - and he is eager to tell me that in the UK my song would be a hit and that if I haven’t already released it in the UK I should do it as soon as possible.

Gone into my room, I repeated those words in my head, getting out of my role of someone who feels at ease and leaving it in the basement - in view of future occasions in which it will be useful - the last remnants of my ability to adapt. I thought only of sitting down, returning to myself, pulling out my stupid face, turning on the webcam, grabbing the silly golden thing that I received as award and taking a picture of myself that I sent to all my friends.

Meanwhile, at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club, for the “real” stars the party was just beginning.

Are you that narrow-minded?

Just because you do the arts doesn't mean you're gonna become famous and successful automatically. Not everyone chooses to be famous.

A lot of people who do the arts do it because:

1) They love the arts
2) They find it helpful as a creative and emotional outlet
3) They use the arts to get approval, validity, confidence, self-esteem
4) It's the only thing they're good at (Ben Stiller said this reason)
5) They use it as an escape route

Quite a few celebs are shy off-stage but only feel confident when they're on the stage. Beyonce has said that she feels shy off the stage but on stage.her Sasha Fierce comes out, that as an example.

NE.

I don't think Britney is that awkward. I just think she doesn't give a ****.
