Celebrities say the darndest things. And when those things involve a controversial political opinion, the media - and the public - have a field day. What famous folks have gotten in hot water over their choice of words?

Most recently, Wanda Sykes joked that she hopes Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail, outraging not only political groups, but also the American Association of Kidney Patients. (Search for their statement to Sykes).

Miss California Carrie Prejean is probably famous because of her controversial statements (on gay marriage). And while some criticized her position, others hailed it, with even one city official proposing to make June 1st "Carrie Prejean Day." (Did the proposal go through?)

Last year, Sharon Stone suggested that the devastating May 12 earthquake in China may have been the result of bad karma over the government's treatment of Tibet. (Did she ever apologize?)
