WTF Moment: Hugh Grant Buys Side Order of Skank
Today we begin a new series titled What the Fuck?! Moments, a look back at some of the most foolish decisions of all time. He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it, so for the love of God, learn from these mistakes...

We lead off with the dumbest mistake ever made by a man with a penis.

On most nights in the first half of the 1990s, Hugh Grant shacked up with long-time girlfriend Liz Hurley, one of the hottest women on the planet. But on June 27, 1995, Grant spent his night in a Los Angeles jail, after being caught receiving oral sex from fugly streetwalker Divine Brown in a rented BMW. The cost: $20, which last afforded a good hummer around 1961.

Amazingly, Hurley stuck with Grant — ignoring my incessant proposals — up until their break-up in 2000 after 13 years of love, devotion and trolling the streets for crack whores. Even more incredible: it was the greatest thing that ever happened to Jay Leno.

After the embarrassing incident, Grant gave Leno an exclusive interview on his talk show, and the spot vaulted The Tonight Show to the top of the ratings heap, where it remains today. David Letterman would be wise to slip Brad Pitt a couple of Andrew Jacksons. Inflation, ya know.

WTF Score: 99 our of 100. If not for the low price, this would get a perfect score.

E-mail Paul with your WTFM suggestions.

E! did like 101 Most Shocking Moments in entertainment history. You should check them out.

E!'s list was pretty good, although if I remember correctly the moment Paul just pointed out wasn't near high enough. It's going to be tough to beat it as a WTF Moment.

Dude...I'm all for your list, but Gilbert Godfried does this on VH1:I love the 80's. Sorry to burst your bubble. In fact...he covered the Hugh Grant fiasco in particular.

Not bursting my bubble. I realized later that Gilbert did this sort of thing on VH1. Such is the case with a lot of ideas. Sometimes you don't realize where the "influence" comes from. I might still do it, 'cause I'm not gonna stick with '70s, '80s and '90s entertainment.
