Ever feel like you just can’t relate to celebrities? Well, you’re not alone! Join Wonderwall.com as we take a look at the October 2022 receipts that prove stars are nothing like us…No celebrity is off limits when it comes to George Clooney and his pranks! On Oct. 13, George stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with longtime friend and “Ticket to Paradise” leading lady Julia Roberts. When Jimmy asked Julia if she’d ever been the subject of George’s pranks over the years, she said she “would fall for everything” when they were shooting 2001’s “Ocean’s Eleven.” George then revealed that Jimmy actually inspired a nasty prank that he played on Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep. “He’ll send me stationery of just like, people’s names,” George said, gesturing at Jimmy. “You sent me Brad Pitt’s stationery. And I send letters to people from Brad Pitt — horrible letters,” admitted George. “I mean, I saw Meryl Streep the other night, sent her a letter years ago with a bunch of CDs that were [by a] dialect coach. I sent it from Brad. A bunch of CDs to Meryl Streep. Said, “This guy helped me with my accent in ‘Troy,’ I thought maybe he could help you,'” he recalled writing the three-time Academy Award winner. “Meryl said she avoided Brad for like five years,” George added, cracking up. How ruthless!

Taking a ferry isn’t generally considered newsworthy, right? Well, it is if you’re a royal. On Oct. 4, Britain’s Princess Anne was seen riding the Staten Island Ferry during a visit to New York City. “We are pleased to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Anne to the #StatenIslandFerry today,” tweeted the New York City Department of Transportation. The reason behind Anne’s surprising transportation of choice? She visited the National Lighthouse Museum, where she made a guest appearance as honorary campaign chair for its Illuminating Future Generations fundraising campaign. Anne’s trip occurred 65 years after her parents — the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip — visited Staten Island during a tour of the United States.

During a Sept. 27 show in Washington, D.C., Lizzo made history when she briefly played a crystal flute that once belonged to President James Madison, who served in office from 1809 to 1817. The Grammy-winning singer and classically trained flutist expertly played the instrument while twerking. “B****, I just twerked and played James Madison’s crystal flute from the 1800s! We just made history tonight!” she enthusiastically told the audience, adding a thank you to the flute’s current owner, the Library of Congress, for “making history freaking cool.” (According to NPR, “at least one other person” has previously played the flute, just not on stage.) The crystal-coated flute is believed to date back to 1813, when it was custom made for the fourth president’s second inauguration. “It’s not often you see founding fathers’ personal artifacts reclaimed as a symbol of pop culture and a celebration [of] Black female empowerment,” a Lizzo fan told NPR.

On Oct. 12, Page Six reported that Elon Musk has ventured into a business fairly saturated with other celebrities: perfume. But wait — there’s more! The billionaire’s scent is already a success, regardless of its revolting name: Burnt Hair. “With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable — why did I even fight it for so long!?” the dad of 10 said on Twitter. “Burnt Hair,” which was created by Elon’s Boring Company, costs $100 a bottle and has been dubbed “the finest fragrance on Earth.” The bottle is “just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work,” promises The Boring Company’s website. The fragrance ships out in early 2023 and apparently is “the essence of repugnant desire.” Weird flex — but OK!

In Tony Iommi’s memoir, “Iron Man: My Journey through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath,” he recalled a series of flabbergasting moments while touring with the Ozzy Osbourne. “With drugs, always you get bored, so you must do something to one another. Like Ozzy hauling a shark through a window, dismembering it and soaking our room in blood,” the guitarist wrote, according to The Daily Star. While the Black Sabbath co-founder didn’t go into much more detail, he did reveal that Ozzy once asked their band’s drummer, Bill Ward, if he could “set him on fire.”

Well, that was unexpected! During his appearance on the Oct. 11 episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Sam Smith revealed the peculiar gift that Ed Sheeran sent to him and others: a large phallic-shaped statue. (Yes, you read that correctly.) “It’s actually wild. I thought it was a joke, but it’s a 6-foot-2 marble p****,” explained Sam. “It’s two tons and I’m gonna have to get it craned into my house.” The “Love Me More” singer would love to make some adjustments to their gift, explaining that it could be fun to turn it into a water fountain, though admitted, “I think [that] will be hard to do.”

On Oct. 10, Mongabay reported that a new toxic frog species from Ecuador had been named after one of Hollywood’s funniest men: Seth MacFarlane! The Hyloscirtus sethmacfarlanei, which was found during an excursion to protect and catalog species in the Andes, has bright patterns that function as a warning sign of their toxicity. “It seemed perfect to name this frog, with its playful polka dots juxtaposed with its most likely threatened status, after Seth who is known more for his comedy than his dedication to science and conservation,” said Rainforest Trust CEO James Deutsch. The “Family Guy,” “The Orville” and “American Dad!” creator, not coincidentally, is a long-time supporter of the NGO Rainforest Trust.

On Oct. 7, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s Archwell Foundation announced that, in partnership with the VING Project, they’re donating $1 million in grants to women who’ve inspired teens and “defied life’s hardships,” as reported by Today.com. The idea was spawned by Meghan’s “Archetypes” podcast. “Two things that bring me great joy are supporting women, and the spirit of giving,” Meghan said in a statement about the campaign. “With the return of ‘Archetypes’ [after a mourning period for Queen Elizabeth II], Archewell Foundation and VING have come together to create the perfect combination of these loves. By donating $1 million in grants to women in need, our hope is not to only provide support where it may be felt deepest, but also empower young adults to embrace the gift of giving at an early age.” Teens between 14 and 18 are invited to nominate women who’ve inspired them; chosen nominees will each receive $1,000.

Yikes. To settle civil charges after touting Ethereum Max crypto tokens on Instagram without disclosing what she’d been paid to post, Kim Kardashian agreed to pay $1.26 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission. On Oct. 3, the SEC announced details of Kim’s settlement, noting that it covers a $1 million fine, $250,000 she was paid for the post, plus interest. According to Insider, the SKIMS founder has neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s claims against her. The post in question was on Kim’s Instagram Story back in 2021. “Are you guys into crypto????” she asked followers at the time. “This is not financial advice but sharing what my friends just told me about the Ethereum Max token! A few minutes ago Ethereum Max burned 400 trillion tokens- literally 50% of their admin wallet giving back to the entire E-Max community.” Insider also reported that “if you bought EMAX crypto tokens when Kim … promoted them on Instagram, you’d have lost over 95% of your money by now,” as a result of EMAX’s drop in value over the past 16 months. Kim has continued to cooperate during the investigation.
