    All the times celebrities shared just a little too much information

    In the increasingly media-trained world, it's never not funny when a celebrity has an accidental case of TMI (that's Too Much Information for the less acryonym-fluent among you). Here are a few of our favourite examples.

    1) When John Mayer talked about his 'sex for one'

    'I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life. The phone doesn’t pick up because I’m masturbating. And I have excused myself at the oddest times so as to not make mistakes. It’s like a hot whirlpool for my brain, in a brain space that is 100 per cent agreeable with itself.’ Rolling Stone

    2) When Kim Kardashian gave herself a post-birth appraisal

    'When I came back from the hospital the first thing I did was go and look at my vagina in the mirror. It looks better looking than before.’ KUWTK

    3) When Jada Pinkett Smith went into TMI mode over the details of her Oscar car journey

    'In a limo, on the way to the Academy Awards this year, Will started looking at me in this way that drives me wild. We started kissing passionately, and the next thing I knew, well, let’s just say we missed the red carpet and I ended up with almost no makeup on.' Shape Magazine

    4) When Robert Pattinson talked about his 'method' while filming Little Ashes

    'My orgasm face is recorded for eternity… [Faking it] just doesn’t work, so I pleasured myself in front of the camera.' Interview Magazine

    5) When Michael Douglas attributed his throat cancer to cunnilingus

    'Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes about from cunnilingus.' The Guardian

    6) When Helen Mirren told us what she said to her husband during a screening of The Queen

    'In the first scene I’m in full regalia and I turn to the camera and there’s silence in the cinema. And my husband lets out this huge laugh. So I lean over to him and say, "Darling, do you think you’ll ever f*** me again?" Between you and me, he has.' In a speech at The Gotham Awards

    7) When Olivia Wilde described her sex life with Jason Sudekis

    'We have sex like Kenyan marathon runners'

    8) When Wilde also declared the reason her marriage to Tao Ruspoli ended

    'I felt like my vagina died. Turned off. Lights out... And you can lie to your relatives at Christmas dinner and tell them everything on the home front is just peachy. But you cannot lie to your vagina.' Speaking at an event in New York

    9) When Khloe Kardashian revealed the secret to giving a good - um - you'll see

    'The secret to a great blow job is saliva, saliva, saliva, and use your hands at the same time. And if you can't have saliva, make sure you drink a lot of water.' Speaking on Howard Stern's radio show

    10) When Zoe Saldana did a classic TMI while discussing her bedroom antics

    'I have to say, for a long time I was a bit lazy so I didn't like to be on top, but I'm really digging it. But I've found things that work… because I have really long legs, you just make them sit or lay on a pillow, or two pillows, that way they're like a little elevated, so I won't be so, like, doing a split because my legs are really long.' - The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet

    11) When Nick Cannon revealed he and former wife Mariah Carey listened to her music when they made love

    'I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in the world that listens to Mariah Carey when having sex. It just so happens I'm having sex with Mariah Carey... If I made sexy music I would put myself on too! Like I think that builds the ego right there.' - HuffPo Live

    12) When LeAnn Rimes was unequivocal about her relationship with Eddie Cibrian 

    "[Sex is] whatever time. Any time of the day. Whenever he wants it.' - Entertainment Tonight

    13) When Corey Gamble discussed his girlfriend Kris Jenner's 'energy'

    Kendall Jenner: 'What do you and my mom even do together?' Corey Gamble: 'We do everything. Your mom has got a lot of energy!' - KUWTK

    Argh! TMI!
