Six of the Biggest Celebrity Jeopardy! Losers Ever
Name: Rob Schneider
Competition: Mark McEwen, Robin Quivers
Year: 1997
Summary: This Morning anchor Mark McEwen is a two-time Celebrity Jeopardy! champion -- against him, Schneider's ho-hum buzzer skills and penchant for dropping humorous, incorrect answers didn't stand a chance.
Winnings Going Into Final Jeopardy: $700
Best Incorrect Response: Q. "In this Charlotte Bronte novel, Edward Rochester is the moody master of Thornfield Hall." A. "Who is my friend Kent Osborne?"
Name: Vivica A. Fox
Competition: Wayne Brady, Ashton Kutcher
Year: 2003
Summary: As Brady finished Double Jeopardy with $19,000 and Kutcher nipped at his heels with $11,000. Fox was left to grin widely and ring in when she could, leading to a full day's work of three correct responses and seven incorrect responses.
Winnings Going Into Final Jeopardy: -$3,200
Best Incorrect Response(s): Q. "Napoleon's brother Jerome and his Baltimore-bred bride honeymooned at this upstate NY site." A. "What are the Hamptons?"
Name: Kirsten Dunst
Competition: "Joey" Gordon-Levitt, Benjamin Salisbury
Year: 1997
Summary: Dunst had a tough time with the signaling device throughout the first round, and in Double Jeopardy, she only rang in for two correct and two incorrect responses. To be fair, though, her fellow kid competition was equally weak: Gordon-Levitt ended the game with nothing, and The Nanny's Salisbury won with only $1.
Winnings Going Into Final Jeopardy: -$700
Best Incorrect Response: Q. "Of Venus, Mars, or Saturn, the planet whose mean distance from the sun is 67,230,000 miles." A. "What is Pluto?"

I remember the Rob Schneider episode, at one point he ripped the buzzer stick out of the podium, held it up and quipped about it being broken.
Vivica--hold your head up, girl. I would have said the same thing.
Kirsten, you dunce.
Alexandra Burke's new song Start Without You is extremely catchy! The song without a doubt earned the #1 spot on the UK singles charts and I wish Alexandra releases her second album soon! I want to hear Laza Morgan's debut, too.
