The pressure to look as perfect as Gisele or as ripped as Robert Downey Jr. is bigger than ever these days. Celebs are doted upon and idolized, but it's hard to live up to the standards of someone who has a team of people to get them looking that good every day - which is why it's nice to remind ourselves sometimes that celebrities are people, too. They aren't always perfectly polished, and they frequently get caught on camera doing gross stuff like the rest of us average Joes. And besides being entertaining, it makes us feel a little bit better about our own guffaws.

An example of how do get knuckle-deep into your nostril while making a fish face, compliments of Mischa Barton.

Not only did Hayden Panettiere dare to pick her butt in public, she actually went above and beyond. Apparently, her undies were so uncomfortable that she needed both hands inside her jeans to pick the major wedgie.

Ladies, if you've ever had a skirt-related accident like this one, you can now put yourself into the same category as Lindsay Lohan. Not that that's a compliment or anything, but it's nice to know that celebs fall victim to accidental moonings, too.

Jake Gyllenhaal must feel the same about mining for gold as Mischa does. It doesn't matter to him that he has a constant parade of paparazzi following him around; when you gotta' dig, you gotta' dig.
