8 Famous Ladies Who Dropped Out Of High School

Desi Jedeikin

These ladies seem like they have it all--looks, money, fame--what more could you ask for?  But what they don't have money can't buy--a high school diploma. Yup. They're all dropouts.  And I have to say, there aren't too many examples here that surprise me. Here's a look at 8 famous chicks who happen to be high school dropouts.

 

Katy Perry

Katy Perry dropped out of high school in the ninth grade to pursue pop singer fame.  I guess it worked out for her, but with lyrics like Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock? and   Barbies on the BBQ, is this a hickey or a bruise? I'm thinking she could've used a few high school level English classes. Her boobies can only distract so much from lame metaphors and sloppy rhymes!

 

Kelly Osbourne

Supposedly Kelly dropped out to treat her drug problem, which I guess is a legit reason? I suppose being free to party on the Hollywood club scene is a way safer environment in which to pursue sobriety than a rich kid private school. Seems about right.

 

Britney Spears

WHA???  Britney dropped out of high school?  I know, right?  I just fell out of my chair in shock as well. She was so convincing as a jail bait school girl in the Hit Me Baby (One More Time) video! This explains so much. Namely K-Fed.

 

Avril Lavigne

Avril dropped out in the 11th grade to pursue her 'singing' career. Now she seems to be pursuing her douchebag pursuing career. Is there anything this girl can't succeed at? 

 

Cameron Diaz

She may have played a bad teacher on the big screen, but Cameron was a bad student IRL. Her number one accomplishment in high school, according to Cameron herself,  appears to be the fact that she bought weed from Snoop Dogg once. Which I have to say, is way cooler than anything I did in high school.

 

Paris Hilton

She may be known as world-famous scholar now, but Paris is actually a high school dropout!! Okay, okay, I couldn't even write that sentence with a straight face. Must be nice to have family money to fall back on. Still I think Paris should've at least stuck around for a little sex-ed. Money may be able to buy you fame, but it sure as hell can't cure the herp. It's nice to know that STDs don't give preferential treatment to celebs!

 

Drew Barrymore

Considering the fact that she's been working since she was 11 months old, I think we can give Drew a pass on being a drop-out. Besides she may only be in her late 30s, but in street smart years she's like older than all of the Cullens combined.

 

Lindsay Lohan

It probably seemed like a good idea to drop out of high school, I mean at the time Lohan was a pretty big star and only getting bigger.  I bet an education is looking better and better to Lilo these days. Anything looks better than a jail cell.
