15 Completely Baffling Deleted Celebrity Tweets

Eight years ago, a new microblogging site called Twitter was made public to the world. No one knew what to make of this "Twi-tter," but we pawed at it anyhow, like monkeys at a monolith, or children playing before a statue of Hercules, none of us knowing just how deeply and irrevocably our lives would change in only 140 characters or less. Since then, Twitter has changed the way we receive news, interact with one another, think about entertainment, and, of course, publicly shame our politicians and celebrities.

When you give someone a massive, uncensored platform for their thoughts, a phone from which to communicate whatever drunk fancy passes through their head, and millions of people to scrutinize their every word, you have to expect that, at some point, they're going to say something pretty dumb. All of us do (seriously, take a look at your text history from this weekend), but most of us don't have an obscene amount of fans and followers attempting to decipher the emojis we drunkenly texted to our best friends.

For celebrities, Twitter is a powerful and dangerous weapon. But because we are human and therefore have a never-ending reserve of schadenfreude, the more inane or indecipherable a celebrity tweet is, the more we love it.

And because it's the Internet, even if they try to delete it, we will always find a way to get a hold of the tweets they sent.

Here are 15 of the best/worst/dumbest/most baffling deleted celebrity tweets of all time.
