Comedian Jerry Seinfeld told ESPN that he thinks the politically correct climate on college campuses hurts comedy. "They just want to use these words: 'That's racist, that's sexist, that's prejudiced.' They don't even know what they're talking about," he said.

More than 80,000 people <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/20/showbiz/tv/19-kids-counting-duggars-petition/index.html">signed a petition</a> to cancel the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting" for what the petition says is an anti-LGBT stance. According to the petition, Michelle Duggar's voice can be heard on a recorded call from summer 2014 urging the citizens of Fayetteville, Arkansas, to vote to repeal a law that forbids business owners and landlords from evicting and firing people based on gender identity. Demands to cancel the show gained fervor in May after a magazine reported that as a teen, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/06/media/19-kids-spinoff-duggar/">Josh Duggar</a> molested five girls, including four of his sisters.

Charles Barkley's mouth landed the former NBA star in the middle of controversy in October. During an interview, the commentator said that he believed successful African-Americans are targeted by "brainwashed" and "uneducated" members of their community. "For some reason, we're brainwashed to think if you're not a thug or an idiot, you're not black enough," he said. "If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent and don't break the law, you're not a good black person. ... As a black person, we all go through it when you're successful."

Chris Noth turned off "Sex and the City" fans with an observation about his on-screen love, Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw. "How many boyfriends did she have?" the actor, who played Mr. Big, told Australian press in 2014. "She was such a whore!" The paper noted that Noth laughed when he said it, so apparently he was trying to make a joke.

In the August issue of GQ magazine, <a href="http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebrities/201408/kanye-west" target="_blank" target="_blank">Kanye West</a> gave more than a few head-scratching quotes. One of the most perplexing was his stance on what you could call celebrity civil rights: "I talked about the idea of celebrity, and celebrities being treated like blacks were in the '60s, having no rights, and the fact that people can slander your name," he recalled of his wedding toast. Last we checked, celebrities are able to vote and are not barred from using the same public facilities as everyone else, but OK, Kanye.

Kim Kardashian was criticized heavily when she was expecting her first child, North, in 2013, and perhaps a part of her wishes she could've just stayed home. When asked to give style advice to pregnant women, Kardashian told <a href="http://www.elle.com/news/culture/kim-kardashian-north-west-pregnancy-style" target="_blank" target="_blank">Elle magazine</a> that expectant moms should be "hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style. That's what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house." Kardashian caught so much blowback from that quote that <a href="https://twitter.com/KimKardashian" target="_blank" target="_blank">she later had to tweet</a> that she was joking and that she's learned a new lesson: "I guess you can't be sarcastic when doing interviews!"

"Opie and Anthony" radio host Anthony Cumia found himself fired by his program's carrier, SiriusXM, because of a series of inflammatory tweets he posted in early July 2014. Cumia says that his profane and racially insensitive Twitter rant was caused by an attack on him by an African-American woman, who, according to Cumia, was upset because he was taking photos of her. After the alleged assault, Cumia turned to Twitter to air his grievances, calling her a "lucky savage" and a "lying c---," among other defamatory phrases.

Gwyneth Paltrow is known for having alternative views, but one observation has raised more eyebrows than usual. In a 2014 post on her website <a href="http://www.goop.com/journal/go/286/goop-mag-16" target="_blank" target="_blank">GOOP, Paltrow said she's "fascinated"</a> by a study on how "negativity changes the structure of water, and how the molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it."
