I learned that Tara Reid, who has a rep for being a blonde stereotype, actually believed that a whale shark is what you get when a whale and a shark have sex. :lol:

It was on WatchMojo.com where they had a top 10 list of the dumbest things celebrities have said (excluding politicians and racial slurs), and she thought a whale shark is a cross-breed of a whale and a shark, and not the name of a gigantic shark, the biggest fish in the world.
