There's a reason we plaster posters of our favorite celebrities on our walls and desktops -- we think of them as plastic, beautiful beings. Perhaps that is why we get so uncomfortable when they open up and reveal their very real -- not to mention raw -- side.
The following stars have made us cringe by saying a little too much, showing off what should be covered up, tweeting the untweetable or displaying what is better left in the boudoir. Behold, the very best (and worst) celebrity TMI moments:
Mariah Carey
Robin Thicke
In an <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F10%2F24%2Frobin-thicke-father-alan_n_4157970.html" target="_blank">interview with Elle, Thicke opened up</a> about the first time he ever saw a naked woman and also admitted he and wife Paula Patton listen to his music in the bedroom. "My dad was single my whole pubescent period," he told the mag. "He had Ms. Alabama, Ms. Dominican Republic -- every week," Thicke tells Elle. "I was like, 'Dang, Pops.' He had an indoor Jacuzzi, and he frequented it. The first time I saw a naked woman was when I went to take a shower one morning before school. I was like, 'Who is this girl in my shower?'"
Paula Patton
Thicke's prettier half <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F10%2F15%2Fpaula-patton-robin-thicke_n_4100218.html" target="_blank">spoke to Glamour about her hubby's, ehm, anatomy</a>. "It's cool, it's funny, it's awesome!" Patton said when asked about the scene in the "Blurred Lines" video that spells out "Robin Thicke Has A Big D*ck". Asked whether it's accurate, she added: "Robin's like, 'Listen, if I'm, you know, in the Miami Heat's locker room, I don't know where I stand, but...' But I think that the statement is fairly accurate!"
John Mayer
"I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life," <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fmusic%2Fnews%2Fjohn-mayers-dirty-mind-lonely-heart-new-issue-of-rolling-stone-20100119">the musician told Rolling Stone last year</a>. "The phone doesn't pick up because I'm masturbating. And I have excused myself at the oddest times so as to not make mistakes. If Tiger Woods only knew when to jerk off. It has a true market value, like gold bullion. First of all, I don't jerk off because I'm horny. I'm sort of half-chick. It's like District 9. I can fire alien weapons. I can insert a tampon. No, I do it because I want to take a brain bath. It's like a hot whirlpool for my brain, in a brain space that is 100 percent agreeable with itself."
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F09%2F18%2Fwill-smith-jada-pinkett-smith-divorce_n_3949643.html" target="_blank">Will Smith opened up on Queen Latifah's new talk show</a> about how he learned of his wife allegedly seeking a divorce. "Like a year ago, there were all these rumors that me and Jada were getting a divorce. So I get the Google Alert, I'm laying in bed -- with Jada. It says, 'Jada Pinkett Smith files for divorce.' So I'm like, 'This is crazy!'" ... Thanks for keeping us in the loop on your whereabouts, Will!
Kim Kardashian
Days after Kim gave birth to daughter North, she told her sister Khloe <em>on camera</em>: "When I came back from the hospital the first thing I did was go and look at my vagina in the mirror. It looks better looking than before."

When a fan asked Ginger Spice to tweet her a happy birthday for her 30th, the singer took it a step further and wrote: <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F03%2F29%2Fgeri-halliwell-tweets-orgasms_n_2980160.html" target="_blank">"Don't tell anyone, i had my 1st worthy orgasm at 30."</a>
Coco Austin
Jennifer Lawrence
Three weeks before winning big at the Oscars, Lawrence went on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and talked about her boobs. "I just went to the doctor today, I got a chest X-ray of my lungs and discovered that my breasts are uneven," she said of her experience with pneumonia. "That was all I saw ... I was like standing there with these doctors and they're like looking at my lungs and I just couldn't -- it felt like an elephant in the room -- and I was like, 'Are my breasts uneven?' And they were just kind of, like, stifled and uncomfortable, obviously. So I kept thinking, 'Well, I'm gonna dig myself out of this hole by bringing it up again.' So he was like, 'All right, our radiologist will get back to you about your lungs.' And I was like, 'And my breasts.'"
Heidi Klum
"Some people are more experimental in bed and others are more boring. If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while," <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marieclaire.com%2Fcelebrity-lifestyle%2Fcelebrities%2Fheidi-klum-feature%3Fclick%3Dpp">Klum said in an interview with Marie Claire</a>.

"They pulled up in her car, I knew it was her car because I paid for it. She pulled over and I see this little grayish silhouette in the passenger seat. So I'm thinking it's one of her white girlfriends from that whack show the 'Head of the Class.' And as they get closer, I know it's not a white girl from 'Head of the Class,' it's some white guy that she's probably giving head to. Alright? So when they get closer ... they see me, but Brad must have been smoking a joint or he must have been drinking or something because he was real close to me in the car, and he had no idea, he didn't see me. But then when he got out of the car he saw me."
