10. Nick Jonas said he believes in aliens.

The pop star, who fervently believes extraterrestrials are among us and has apparently seen a bunch, said:

"This was probably eight years ago. I was in my backyard in L.A., and I looked up at the sky and [saw] three flying saucers. I looked at my friend and said, 'Are you seeing this or am I losing my mind?' He was seeing the same thing."

9. Willow and Jaden Smith explained that time doesn't exist.

In their charmingly bananas T Magazine interview, the amazingly opinionated teenagers put their philosophy into words:

"WILLOW: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that's how I know it doesn't exist.

JADEN: It's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it's also such a thing that you can get lost in.

WILLOW: Because living.

JADEN: Right, because you have to live. There's a theoretical physicist inside all of our minds, and you can talk and talk, but it's living.

WILLOW: It's the action of it."

8. Kate Winslet criticized other women for being "vulgar" and speaking out about Hollywood's wage gap.

When Jennifer Lawrence started a conversation about how female actors are unfairly paid less than their male peers, Winslet didn't support her squad (all the female Oscar nominees are a squad, right?). Instead she commented that the whole convo was gross:

"I'm having such a problem with these conversations. I understand why they are coming up but maybe it's a British thing. I don't like talking about money; it's a bit vulgar isn't it? I don't think that's a very nice conversation to have publicly at all.

I'm quite surprised by these conversations to be honest, simply because it seems quite a strange thing to be discussing out in the open like that. I am a very lucky woman and I'm quite happy with how things are ticking along."

Later, Winslet clarified, kind of, "I have never concerned myself with monetary matters. I almost feel like I can't comment on other people's comments, but I admire people who publicly stand up for themselves."

7. In a feminist interview to promote her feminist movie, Meryl Streep announced she's not a feminist.

Time Out London directly asked the Suffragette star if she was a feminist. She wouldn't say yes (but to be fair, a team of studio publicists probably threatened to take away a few of her Oscars if she did):

"INTERVIEWER: Are you a feminist?

STREEP: I am a humanist, I am for nice easy balance."

6. Kanye overshared about his showering habits, which apparently stem from the feud between Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose.

In an interview, West commented on the public tension between his wife and his ex (first mistake) and then got TMI. Everyone involved came out looking bad.

"If Kim had dated me when I wanted, there would be no Amber Rose. It's very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that's with Amber Rose. I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim."

5. Matt Damon mansplained diversity to a black female filmmaker.

On his reality show Project Greenlight, Damon alienated the devoted fans who'd always thought he was the chill one in his partnership with Ben Affleck. In a heated conversation about hiring a director, he interrupted veteran film producer Effie Brown to explain the way to make diverse movies. It is of course, to not give any decision-making power to diverse filmmakers:

"When we're talking about diversity, you do it in the casting of the film, not in the casting of the show."

Damon said he was sorry, but everyone's exasperated "oof"s cannot be undone.

4. Justin Bieber's dad tweeted that he was a "proud daddy" after his son's nude photos leaked.

Bieber's dad used to be famous for having a pop star son, but now he's famous for being creepy. When nude photos of Biebs leaked, his dad, aka his father, aka a person who is his parent, tweeted about his son's dick size. To everyone's horror, he wrote:

"@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy"

3. Taylor Swift tried to make Nicki Minaj's VMAs tweets about her.

After Minaj was snubbed for a Video of the Year VMA nomination, she called out racism and double standards for women's bodies in the entertainment industry. Taylor Swift took it personally and accused Minaj of pitting women against each other.

"I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.."

After crazy backlash and unstoppable comments from the famous peanut gallery, Swift Twitter-apologized and the duo ended their bad blood with a viral momentor sorry, performanceat the VMAs. But in 2015, Instagram was definitely more of a strong suit for T-Swift than Twitter.

2. Giuliana Rancic made ridiculous assumptions about Zendaya's hair on the Oscars red carpet.

Disney star Zendaya wore dreadlocks on the Oscars carpet this year in order to, in her own words, "showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough." E! Fashion Police host Rancic saw the hair and commented that the 18-year-old probably smelled like "patchouli" and "weed". Rancic immediately publicly apologized, but Kelly Osborne considers her a liar to this very day. While this incident was racist, it did introduce many people to Zendaya's eloquent social media callouts, which hopefully will continue into 2016.

1. Ariana Grande was caught on security footage saying she hates America.

Though she has since asked and been granted the nation's forgiveness, the most ridiculous quote of 2015 was when Ariana Grande licked a donut and said, so quietly yet provocatively:

"I hate America."
